While Tempe is well known for being a hub of of innovation and education, its also a diverse family oriented community. With so much to do here its the perfect place for those seeking an active lifestyle. It also brings all of the benefits of an urban setting with plenty of arts and entertainment along with fine dining or just a little window shopping.

As one of the most popular places to live in the Phoenix area, finding a home here can be a challenge. As a fully developed city the building opportunities are few and far between. That’s why so many homeowners opt for renovations to their properties which is just right for the Modern Group.

The Historical area of Tempe, Arizona located off 9th Street and Ash is about to experience an exciting neighborhood addition. An introduction of several residential green certified units will soon be adding to the charm of this quaint neighborhood. Property owners Scott and Irene are working with General Contractor RD Hendrickson and the Modern Group Team of skilled contractors and designers including James Hann Design, Est Est , Ferguson Kitchen Bath & Lighting Gallery Electrolux, Efficiency Mechanical and JELD-WEN Windows and Doors

Designed around the popular Craftsman Style which originated at the turn of the Century out of Southern California, this property design will serve as both an “Open Window” to the past and gateway for all of today’s high-performance energy efficient enhancements among which will be Carrier air-conditioning and cooling systems provided by Efficiency Mechanical.
