We've turned the calendar to 2023, and we're so excited about everything on the horizon for the new year. However, we'd hate to miss the opportunity to celebrate our 2022 achievements. Compelling Homes created some fantastic spaces, and we're really proud of the work we've done. Welcome to our 2022 Remodeling Recap! We did big things last year, and we've got the receipts to prove it.
The best remodels are just as stunning in a few years. We highlight the best options available to keep your bathroom's age a cheeky secret.
It's not always fun to talk about the bottom line, but knowing what you can expect a bathroom remodel to cost is so important for your early planning. We're not surprised this staple was a hit!
A whole home remodel keeps you in a home or neighborhood you may love and replaces every dated feature and disappointing detail with your completely custom selections. Learn why a whole home remodel may make more sense than you think.
Many people were eager to learn what a kitchen remodel costs in our Des Moines market post-pandemic. We gave the people what they wanted with this kitchen cost blog.
Don't take our word for it! Hear from the people who made the big leap and created their dream spaces with us last year.
"The Compelling Homes Team is fantastic to work with, responsive, has great project management, and produces high-quality, BEAUTIFUL results. Every team member treated us with respect and kindness and like we were family. We received great advice and guidance. We love our remodel and will definitely use CH for other remodeling work. Thank you, Rusty and Denise and all of the CH Team Members” – Traci F.
“Amazing!! Have done 2 remodels and an addition. 1 more to go, and we will be calling them soon!!” – Stephanie C.
"Compelling Homes is beyond professional. Every person and crew who entered our house was courteous and knowledgeable. They presented us with a timeline before our project started. They not only stuck to the timeline, but they also finished our project early."
"They were completely transparent. If we run into a problem, they let us know right away. We always knew exactly where we stood in terms of the budget and scope of the project. They were always honest, so we knew exactly what to expect."
"The customer service at Compelling Homes is outstanding. We were assigned a project manager to whom we had access 24-7. Whenever we had a question or needed something, he responded immediately. From start to finish, they made the process seamless. They turned what could have been an overwhelming project for us into an easy and fun undertaking."
We showcased this timeless and beautiful main floor scramble in this year's Des Moines Tour of Remodeled Homes. Of course, we came home with accolades from the public and our peers alike. Here are the trophies on our mantle from this year's ToRH:
We love our community connections and professionally developed opportunities. What has our team been up to in 2022? Here are some highlights.
It's hard to separate our clients from their projects. Partnering to design and create their dream spaces builds life-long relationships that make every project better.
#1 // This year, we did a pool house/primary bath addition that was incredible. We love water and sunshine and a good primary bath that feels like a spa, and these expansive vanities, decadent soaker tub, and the wet room definitely fit the bill.
#2 // We loved working with this fantastic family. Talk about over-the-top, amazing details and built-ins! The vertical blue subway tile and natural stone inset shelving make it clear that this bathroom was built with a serene style in mind.
#3 // We're in love with this primary bathroom and the folks for whom we built it. The tile stole the show in this one. Featuring a mosaic white and gold accent wall, tiny tile in the shower floor, and large format white tiles in the shower area, we've showcased our range in one succinct and stunning room. Don't miss the custom built-ins in this dream walk-in closet. We're proud of the order we've invited into this personalized space!
#4 // Here's a kitchen and primary bath that underwent an incredible transformation. These homeowners were the loveliest of people. Monochromatic gray is a whole mood in this serene space. With varying degrees of saturation, cool gray creates a timeless look that's elevated by luxe materials like large format stone tiles, sleek marble surfaces, and hardwood floors.
We loved this project because we got to do so many concurrent projects to a deliciously decadent degree. This main floor scramble included 4 bathrooms, including the primary suite. We love the airy white spaces that dominate this project and the moody dark corners that bring balance to every detail. This project is a true testament to the cohesive aesthetic a main floor scramble can create.
Instead of reading about our final thoughts, we thought it'd be best to hear them right from us. Denise and Rusty are here, let's chat:
Last year brought us projects with spa-like spaces, steel staircases, and bespoke details as far as the eye could see. If you joined our client family in 2022, we're grateful for you and proud of the work we did together. We can't wait to welcome new Des Moines folks into the fold in 2023.
If you've met us, you know: that we don't do "good enough" ... we make your home Compelling!
