Nestled into the side of a hill, this
residence fans out in a true radial
layout. Every room has a
commanding and unparalleled view
of the entire panorama of Sedona.
Using exposed block, steel and
vast amounts of glass in
construction yields truly
breathtaking views.


I am writing to recommend Joel DeTar
as a general contractor. My involvement
with Joel spans over eighteen years
and over twenty construction projects.
In the early days Joel won his jobs
with my firm by being the low bidder.
His approach to building is grounded in
a thorough professional approach at all
levels of the process, from intelligent
plan reading to competent bidding to
strategic organization on the job site.
As the years progressed and our track
record together lengthened, we found
that our clients agreed with our
recommendation to hire Joel early in
the design process. This allowed us to
take advantage of his expertise as we
prepared working drawings. We have
always received valuable guidance in a
timely manner from Joel DeTar.
Although Joel has worked for us on
doctors offices and the Sedona Public
Library, my architectural firm primarily
creates challenging and complex
custom homes for demanding clients.
As a result, the most important factor
is that DeTar Construction Inc. delivers
a high quality product in a timely and
professional manner. We have always
had a great experience with Joel.
