What affects the price
When you plan a total home transformation, the final number depends on several moving parts. The biggest factors are the square footage involved, the current condition of your home’s systems, and the level of finishes you choose. Opting for high-end materials like custom cabinetry or premium stone countertops will push your budget higher than standard selections. Structural changes, like moving walls or updating outdated electrical and plumbing, also impact the overall investment. We can provide you with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Des Moines
What is the 30% rule in remodeling?
The 30% rule is not a strict industry standard but a helpful concept for budgeting. For a Des Moines homeowner planning a kitchen remodel, it can serve as a reminder that unexpected issues might add up to 30% to the initial cost. Always discuss potential variables with the pros you consult.
What is the difference between renovating and remodeling?
Renovating typically involves restoring or updating an existing space, like painting or replacing fixtures. Remodeling goes further, altering the layout or function of a room. For example, updating the look of your Des Moines home's living room is renovation, while reconfiguring it for an open-concept feel is remodeling.
Is it cheaper to buy a house or remodel?
In Des Moines, the decision often hinges on the current market and the property's condition. If you find a home with good bones in your desired neighborhood, remodeling can be more economical than buying a fully updated home. However, extensive remodels can sometimes approach the cost of a new purchase. Getting a quote is key.
What is the 30% rule for renovations?
The 30% rule for renovations is not a universal mandate but a useful planning tool. It prompts homeowners to consider that unforeseen problems, especially in older Des Moines homes, could increase project costs by as much as 30%. Budgeting for contingencies is always advisable.
This amount can cover major kitchen and bathroom upgrades, or even some more significant structural alterations. For a full gut and remodel of a larger home, however, it might be on the lower end. A detailed quote is your best guide.
