We mainly worked with Bayu, but he was communicative throughout the project, super hard worker, sent us photos of the work progressing and ensured that we were completely satisfied with the work performed prior to finishing the job. Des Moines Home Remodeling would let us know what day and time they will be performing work and they were always punctual. At the end of the project Des Moines home remodeling left my house clean. Des Moines home remodeling even took care of some additional holes in my drywalls that I had forgotten to mention in the original estimate at no additional expense.
