Compelling Homes Remodeling and Design has been proudly servicing the Des Moines area since 2009. We are located in Grimes and offer a full range of award winning remodeling and design services, including kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and additions. We stand by our amazing team and proven process to ensure your remodeling projects stay on time, on budget, and are actually enjoyable!
If you're considering finishing your basement, chances are you've been wanting to do it for years. Most of the time when we get a call for a basement finish, it's because the family's home is bursting at the seams. There is immense value in finishing your basement, and your family will enjoy having more space to relax and reconnect.
To remodel a bathroom is to understand the function of a bathroom - and it's a wide range. Bathrooms are an often overlooked but extremely important part of your home, to be used for everything from hosing off the dog after they decided to roll in the mud, to drawing yourself a bubble bath after a hard day.
Our homes are so much more than four walls and a roof. They are a place to connect, reconnect, make memories, and grow. For growing families that are invested in their current home, neighborhood, and way of life, moving into a new home may be out of the question. The solution? Add onto the home you love!
Design-Build: You may feel like you've been seeing that term more and more as you do research for your home remodeling project. There's a reason for that - it's great. We're here to explain why. The design-build method bridges the gap between constructibility and design. In working with a design-build contractor, you're working with a team that speaks the language of all necessary parties involved: homeowner, designer, and builder.

Compelling Homes were excellent partners for our remodel. We had the "formal dining room" in the front of our house and did not use the space well. They helped turn room into an office and walk-in pantry of my wife's dreams! From the start, Rusty and Denise were great to work with. They listened to our ideas and answered all of our questions. There is no question too dumb or little. Then moving to the shopping phase it was great as they helped guide us to what will work well together and what matched our personalities for colors, patterns and hardware. Then Mark, our project manager, went

This has been our third experience with Compelling Homes and would highly recommend them for remodeling projects from small to large. Compelling homes completed a 3rd garage garage addition and exterior facelift in 2017, window upgrade in 2019 and a home addition and interior remodel in 2020. We cannot say enough good things about Compelling Homes and all their help with our projects, from planning, budget, design and quality. Rusty and team are very responsive and have a passion for every project they do and it shows in their customer service and quality of work. We were beyond happy with the

We decided to add a 3 season room to our house and were recommended by a relative to contact Compelling Homes. Couldn't make a better choice. Rusty and Naomi came up with a perfect project. We were afraid that foundation work will ruin our back yard but Rusty offered to use Techno Metal Posts (completely new thing for us) and that idea worked perfectly. We were amazed how well and smooth they organized all work with so many crews involved into completing the project. Andrew was the man supervising every step all the way. Very professional, extremely knowledgeable and pleasant man. Our addition

We are so glad that we trusted the Compelling Homes team with our home remodel. We bought an older ranch home with 'great bones' that needed a LOT of updating (several walls down to open the living space, total kitchen reconfiguration/remodel, total bathroom reconfiguration/remodel, two other bathrooms updated, added a wet bar in the basement, other cosmetic updates throughout). Rusty and Naomi helped us see the potential in our home, designed several beautiful layouts for us to choose from, and guided us through every step of the design process.

The Compelling Homes team designed an amazing remodel for our entire first floor. The attention to detail created an awesome finished product that we absolutely love. We are not the creative types, but when the team came back with their ideas for the space we were blown away and now we have a more functional space that is worth every penny. We always recommend them to any of our friends thinking about starting a remodel project because we know the CH team will make sure that every detail is perfect. Other positives is that they were open and honest with cost and timeline so there were no surprises
