Customers say: True professional

"I couldn't be happier with the work. Andy was extremely helpful and punctual. I had quite a few estimates on my kitchen remodel and I felt like none of the contractors I talked to were really interested in what I wanted. Andy listened to everything I had to say and delivered. 

Not only was the work completed on time. It was top notch work and under budget. How often does that happen?

I would highly recommend Andy Scott and would definitely use him again in the future.

"We had them come out to quote installation of windows and ended up purchasing new doors as well. Then we had them quote new siding. They did an awesome job installing the windows we had and removing/re-installing the new entrance and screen doors. Then we had them remove existing siding, install new siding which turned out fantastic. We wanted a couple of things changed and Jose was quick to fix any issues we had or changes we made. We liked DLR enough that we are having them add to our existing deck and do some custom deck building. Jose and his crew show up when promised and will make sure you are completely satisfied with the job before moving on. Absolutely recommend DLR for most any project."

"They did a good job. They were timely. I did not like that Neil kept giving me a hard time about an add on that I did not want. I already had all the materials and he was upset that they were not able to mark them up. I really liked that they offered to come right away to do the project after I had two other companies bail."

"I am thrilled with my Bathroom- they showed up when they said they would. They listened to my requests - went into the project knowing what the end goal would be. The bill was what they quoted. They cleaned up after themselves. Great customer service and outstanding workmanship."

"The entire project, from initial quote to completion went very smoothly. Tim's professionalism, honesty and integrity were evident before, during and after the sale. Much easier to work with than the other companies we got quotes from. Jan was very helpful making sure we had all the tools we needed to choose the materials we wanted and scheduling. The crew worked tirelessly, completing the job in one day and cleaned up afterwards. Any and all issues were taken care of immediately. We would highly recommend Des Moines Area Roofing and would not hesitate using them again."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.

Efficient appliance positioning, optimizing existing plumbing, and sourcing energy-efficient materials reduce financial impact and increase sustainability.

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?
