Saturday mornings look a little different as a family now🥰

Happy to have the best “daddy what’s this” helpers getting some measurements this morning!

Obligatory roof selfie this morning!

A lot of times on projects we tend to notice things that are outside of our contracts scope of work. It’s hard for me to sleep at night knowing that those items could either cost a homeowner more money in the future, or lead to a headache trying to find someone to fix it.

We are here to make homes look pretty, and also make sure the place you sleep at night is protected.

While venting out the bathroom exhaust fans (because all homes should have them vented), I noticed some suspect flashing on the roof that was in need of repair, and got it taken care of😊

It would be easy to show up, take some measurements, and start talking about finishes and fixtures. But the remodelers who consistently deliver great results know that the real work happens in that first conversation, when you're still just sitting at the kitchen table talking about what you wish were different about your home.

What drives you crazy about the space right now? What do you love that you want to keep? How does your family move through the room in the morning? Where does the clutter always end up? What have you always wished this space could do that it just... doesn’t?

Those questions aren't small talk. They're the foundation of a project that actually transforms how you live in your home, not just how it looks. Anyone can make a space prettier. An experienced remodeler can make it work better, feel bigger, function smarter, and serve your family in ways your current layout never could.

That's the difference between a renovation and a transformation. And it starts with a remodeler who listens before they build.

If you've gotten a quote to finish your basement and the contractor mentioned tearing out your existing insulation before they start, that might have felt like an unnecessary add-on to the price. We get it.

But here's the thing. In Des Moines, with our Zone 5 winters and clay-heavy soils, layering new insulation over what's already there is one of the fastest ways to end up with moisture problems, mold behind your walls, and a finished basement that never quite feels right.

A contractor who skips that step isn't saving you money. They're saving themselves time.

We put together a full breakdown of exactly why this matters for Iowa homeowners. What goes wrong, what the right approach looks like, and what questions you should be asking before anyone picks up a staple gun in your basement.

If you’re getting ready to finish your basement in the Des Moines area, there’s a good chance you’ve already got some insulation in place. Maybe it’s kraft-faced fiberglass batts between the joists, or maybe there’s a layer of unfaced insulation tucked against the rim joists. Either way, i...

From "This isn't working" to "How did we ever live without this?”

A great remodel isn't just about how your home looks, it's about how it works for your everyday life. Let's create a space that actually fits you.

It's one thing to see your ideas on paper, and another to see them come to life in your home. What starts as a dream gradually becomes a finished space that not only looks beautiful but also works better for your everyday life.

Before we ever pick up a tool, we design the project from top to bottom.
•
Through our design agreement, you get to work with our in-house designer to put together a full layout of your space, 3D renderings so you can actually see what your finished room is going to look like, and curated selections for all your materials, finishes, and fixtures. Everything is pulled together to fit your style and your budget before a single thing gets demoed.
•
By the time we actually start construction, you already know exactly what you’re getting and our team knows exactly what they’re building.
•
There’s no miscommunication, no last minute decisions, and no hoping it turns out the way you pictured it because you’ve already seen it.
•
That’s what makes the remodeling process smooth for everyone involved and it’s honestly one of the things we’re most proud of about how we run our projects.
•
If you’ve been thinking about a kitchen, bathroom, or basement remodel and want to work with a team that has a real process behind them, send us a message. We’d love to show you what we can do.

Before starting a remodel, one of the most helpful things you can do is get clear on your priorities. Is it better layout? More storage? Staying within a certain budget? You don't need every detail figured out, but a clear starting point makes all the difference.

We are on to trim and paint at our Wickham Addition while we wait for the stamped concrete patio to start next week.

We are transforming this space into 3 cozy areas complete with a large sunroom, sitting deck, and grilling/fireplace area.

Taking these homeowners from possibly moving to investing and falling in love with their home all over again😍
