The questions every Surprise homeowner asks first.
Licensing, permits, HOAs, aging-in-place, ADUs, timelines, warranties — straight answers.
Are you licensed and insured to do remodeling work in Surprise?
Yes. Coker Construction is licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
Every subcontractor we bring onto a Surprise job is independently ROC-licensed in their trade and provides current certificates of insurance before work begins. We re-verify annually.
Do you work in Sun City Grand and the 55+ communities?
Yes. Sun City Grand and the surrounding active-adult communities are a significant part of our Surprise work.
We handle standard remodels and additions there, plus aging-in-place modifications — curbless walk-in showers, grab bar prep, lever fixtures, wider doorways, and finish work that helps residents stay in their homes longer and more safely.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. The initial walkthrough and itemized written estimate are free. We aim to turn around a written estimate within 48 hours of the on-site visit.
How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel take?
Bathroom remodels typically run 3–6 weeks on site. Kitchen remodels typically run 4–8 weeks, depending on whether walls are coming down and how custom the cabinetry is. Permit timelines with the City of Surprise can add 1–3 weeks at the front for projects requiring them.
Do you handle City of Surprise permits?
Yes. We pull all required permits with the City of Surprise and coordinate inspections. Most kitchen and bathroom remodels involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require permits; cosmetic-only refreshes generally do not.
Can you work in HOAs like Sun City Grand, Marley Park, or Asante?
Yes. We're familiar with the architectural review processes in Sun City Grand, Marley Park, Asante, Greer Ranch, Royal Ranch, Surprise Farms, Mountain Vista Ranch, Rancho Gabriela, and the other major HOA communities in Surprise.
We prepare and submit ARC packages as part of any exterior project.
Do you do whole-home remodels on older Surprise homes?
Yes. Older central Surprise homes — particularly in the Original Town Site — often make more sense to remodel whole-cloth than piece by piece.
We scope mechanical updates (panel, plumbing, HVAC) alongside finish updates so the result holds together architecturally and you're not paying twice for adjacent demo.
Do you build ADUs and casitas in Surprise?
Yes. We design, permit, and build detached ADUs and casitas across Surprise. Common Surprise use cases are multigenerational living, accommodating extended-family visits during spring training season, or rental income.
We'll review your lot setbacks, HOA rules, and utility tie-in feasibility as part of the early scoping.
Do you handle aging-in-place work?
Yes. Aging-in-place modifications are a meaningful part of our Sun City Grand and 55+ community work. Curbless walk-in showers, grab bar blocking, lever-handle fixtures, slip-resistant tile, wider doorways, and lighting designed for older eyes.
The goal is a home that looks and feels normal — not a medical-supply showroom. Done thoughtfully, not clinically.
Do you handle single-trade work — just painting, flooring, or drywall repair?
Yes, though we have a project-size minimum. If you only need a single room painted or a small drywall patch, we may refer you out. For whole-home single-trade work, we take it on directly.
What ZIP codes do you serve in Surprise?
All Surprise ZIPs — 85374 (central / Civic Center / Sun City Grand), 85378, 85379 (Marley Park area), 85387, and 85388 — plus the surrounding West Valley.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
We provide a one-year workmanship warranty on all Coker-managed remodeling and addition work. Manufacturer warranties on appliances, fixtures, and materials pass through to the homeowner at their published terms.
