"I've worked on many projects with this company from commercial to residential. You share your ideas with the drafts person and they create a rough draft in a short amount of time. Once you move on to the revision process you get to revise your designs three times included in the price! After you approve your design they produce a full construction set which is what you need to go to permitting. They stand by their drafting and offer unlimited redline revisions. This is a wonderful and much needed service for design professionals and contractors for fast & reliable plans."

"Our new kitchen and living space are BEAUTIFUL!  We had an area that was chopped in to two small family rooms and a very small kitchen.  We now have a large kitchen and a large, open family room space.  We get lost of compliments from everyone that comes to our home.  John worked with us on the design to achieve the look that we wanted.  He uses very high quality materials in his work for a fabulous end product.  He and Nate did most all of the work themselves so we didn't have a lot of sub-contractors around to work with.  They do beautiful work.  John is a true craftsman. They always came when they said they would come.  When unexpected things arose, John always came up with a creative solution to keep everything on track and within our agreed upon price.  For example, he built a beautiful column to hide wiring and a vent.  It truly adds to the overall look of the room!  I felt comfortable having them in our home and around our children.  There isn't a single thing I would change about our new kitchen and living space.  They did a fabulous job!

"We had a small water stain on the interior ceiling of an upstairs hallway. After exploring the attic, I determined that moisture was entering around a vent pipe. The roof was sixteen years old so I thought a new roof may be in order. We visited several roofing companies at the Des Moines Home and Garden Show. We had four or five companies come out to analyze the roof and tell us what was need. All the companies suggest a new roof and gave us quotes. All were within the same range basically for like materials and labor.
I looked to Angie?s List for a review of each company. In researching these companies, I stumbled on Des Moines Area Roofing and owner, Tim Wolfswinkel. One particular review resonated with me so I contacted Tim. I scheduled an appointment with him.
He came at the designated time, and we discussed my roof. Tim was the only contractor who indicated that the roof had additional years of life remaining. He identified several items that needed to be addressed. Tim said that if the roof was his, he?d fix the problems rather than replacing the roof.
Tim followed up promptly with a quote for the repair work and a quote for a replacement roof. I thought his quote for the repair work was very reasonable for the work needed. His quote for the replacement roof was slightly less that the other contractors for like materials and labor.
We accepted the quote for the repair work, and I anticipated that I?d be place on a schedule for completion at a future date. The day that I accepted the quote, Tim contacted me and said that another customer need to push back his project, and he wondered if they could complete our work that afternoon. Naturally, I said ?yes? as I wanted the roof repaired prior to spring rains. Tim first look at our project on a Wednesday morning and sent me a quote electronically that very same day. I agree to the pricing and the work on a Friday morning and the work was completed that same Friday afternoon.
If you are looking for roof replacement or repair; shop around, get several quotes, filter Angie?s List by grade and number of reviews. You will find Des Moines Area Roofing near the top of those filters. Call Tim Wolfswinkel before you make any decisions about repair or replacement.

"It is a waste of money. The great majority of people are not going to find any value out of the service. If you need design consultation, you need a full service consultation. If you already have knowledge and experience, and you just need to get a few ideas, then you don't need to pay for that. You can just get a magazine or a book since you already have the knowledge of basic designs in your head or a little bit of experience. To have someone call you and give you information over the phone, you are not getting the personal service that you need. You may as well take the money $49 and apply it to something else like getting someone else to come out and give you the service that you need. Because, you are not getting much, you are not getting anything at all. They are going to have you do the work. After talking to them and I was talking to other home designers, I found out that that was a waste of time and waste of money. I gave them a C because they didn't fail at what they do but they don't offer any value for what they do. There's not much value to it. The cost was fair. They didn't do a terrible job and the cost isn't terrible, it was only $49. It just has a very low value. For responsiveness I gave them a B because they will answer your phone and answer your emails."

Residential Design FAQs, answered by experts

The average size of a home office starts at around 70 square feet for those who just need a place to put a desk, a filing cabinet, and perhaps some shelving units to keep important documents. For those with storage needs or office furniture for guests, an average size is more like 150 square feet, or the size of a large bedroom. 

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.

Popular features homeowners add to their game rooms include pool or ping pong tables, arcade machines, home theater systems, gaming consoles, custom lighting, and built-in storage. Many homeowners also add soundproofing, mini-fridges, or wet bars for added comfort and entertainment value. These features will increase your total investment, but make your game room more enjoyable and functional.

Yes, many systems can include zoning to customize heating in different areas. Confirm with your contractor.

A garage counts toward the official square footage of a house if it is considered livable space. For a garage to qualify, it typically needs to be attached to the home and have permanent finishings like proper insulation, finished walls, and ceilings. It must also be livable year-round, which requires adequate heating, cooling, and ventilation. The exact legal requirements for what constitutes living space can vary by location.
