Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Remodeling in Ankeny & Des Moines
Your kitchen is where the day starts and ends, and in a lot of Ankeny and Des Moines homes it's also the room most overdue for an update. Central IA Home Services handles the whole remodel: layout changes, cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, lighting and the plumbing and electrical behind it. You get a written estimate up front, one point of contact throughout, and a crew that shows up when they say they will and leaves the house clean.
Why Remodel Your Kitchen?
A kitchen remodel offers multiple benefits:
Improved functionality – As lifestyle changes, so do the demands on your kitchen. We optimize layouts, upgrade plumbing and lighting, and select durable, efficient materials so your daily flow feels seamless.
Increased home value – A well-designed, modern kitchen draws attention from buyers and can boost resale value. Investing in the right features pays off.
Enhanced style – Whether you lean toward sleek and modern, timeless and classic, or warm farmhouse-charm, we help translate your aesthetic into reality.
Better quality & energy efficiency – With upgraded appliances, lighting, and fixtures, you’ll get improved performance and possibly lower utility costs.
Our Remodeling Process
Here’s how we work, step-by-step, to bring your dream kitchen to life:
01 Consultation & Visioning
We begin with a conversation: what you love, what you don’t, your must-haves and your budget. We listen carefully to your lifestyle and goals so we can design a kitchen that fits you.
02 Design & Selection
Once we understand your vision, our team develops a detailed plan—layout, materials, fixtures, lighting, cabinetry, flooring and more. We guide you through selections (cabinet styles, countertop materials, backsplash options, appliance integration) so you make informed choices.
03 Demolition & Construction
With the plan set, we remove the old and build the new with care and skill. Our craftsmen handle everything: framing or structural modifications, plumbing, electrical routing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry installation and more. We maintain clear communication and manage the timeline to limit disruption.
04 Installation & Finishing Touches
The details matter: perfect alignment of cabinet doors, flawless countertop seams, professional lighting placement, polished hardware and a final inspection that ensures everything functions exactly as intended.
05 Clean-Up & Walk-through
Your home should be left clean and orderly. We’ll take you through the new space, answer any questions, and make sure you’re delighted with the result.

Kitchen remodel questions we hear most
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in the Des Moines area?
It depends on scope. A refresh (countertops, backsplash, paint, hardware, lighting) is a very different project from a full gut with layout changes and new cabinets. After a free in-home visit we give you a written, line-item estimate so you can see exactly where the money goes and decide what to keep or cut.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most of our kitchen remodels run two to six weeks on site once materials are in hand. Cabinet and countertop lead times are the usual wait, so we order everything before demo starts. You'll get a schedule with your estimate, and we tell you right away if anything moves.
Do I need permits, and who handles them?
Usually yes if plumbing, electrical or walls are changing. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections and use licensed plumbing and electrical partners, so the work is done to code and you have the paperwork when you sell.
