I did a complete bathroom, walk in closet remodel and new flooring throughout bedroom. Rusty and Denise are great to work with. The project manager was on site every day. Their team of plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc. were very professional. I trusted the team enough to go away for a couple months while they completed the project. I'm so happy with the outcome of my remodel and the professionalism of Compelling Homes that I've already hired them for my kitchen remodel!!

Compelling Homes were excellent partners for our remodel. We had the "formal dining room" in the front of our house and did not use the space well. They helped turn room into an office and walk-in pantry of my wife's dreams! From the start, Rusty and Denise were great to work with. They listened to our ideas and answered all of our questions. There is no question too dumb or little. Then moving to the shopping phase it was great as they helped guide us to what will work well together and what matched our personalities for colors, patterns and hardware. Then Mark, our project manager, went above and beyond working with us through having a toddler running around the job site, a family emergency and curious pets going where they shouldn't be. Again, no question was dumb and he answered all of our questions/concerns to let us know if these things were normal or not. Mark clearly communicated through the whole process and promptly had his trades return, when needed. The project took 10 weeks and the whole team made it as painless as possible.If you have the front room, formal dining area, contact Compelling Homes for ideas on how to make it more functional and a pantry/kitchen of your dreams!Services: Tile work installation, Install flooring, Paint indoors, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Plumbing fixture installation

Me and my wife went with Compelling Homes for our house revamp! It was a one stop shop and they were very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional every step of the way! We appreciate our project manager, David, for his responsiveness and attention to detail. Thanks again, Rusty for paying us a visit and ensuring the end result was what we wanted. We will definitely be using Compelling Homes in the future!

WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY…and HOWWe wanted Compelling Homes to remodel our home because we knew about their quality reputation, design talent, and how well they manage projects. We gave them the challenge of our 80’s era aged interior. What they accomplished in return is amazing.VISIONThe vision of what we wanted was turned into reality, full of great ideas brought forth in their design phase. Larger bathrooms using the same spaces (yes, they actually did) plus a heated floor and stunning shower. The mixing of light and dark colors, warm knotty alder woods, barn doors, hard wood floors on the main level that create a pleasing flow, fun lighting, and a beautiful foyer, staircase, and landing.SIGNATURE PIECEThe view from every room and angle conveys a piece of art with Compelling Homes’ signature. A walk through presents fun surprises around every corner. The look they created is timeless, modern but yet familiar, warm mixed with bright, and a night scene draped in accent lighting after a day of spaces drenched in sun.NEW HOME STATE OF MINDRemodeling means being prepared. The planning that Compelling Homes did made the task easier and we always knew where the project stood in terms of timing, progress, and budget. We moved to a different part of the house during the remodel. When it was done we felt like we were moving into a new home even though we never left. We are still taking it all in.Thanks to Rusty and Denise, our project manager Kent, and the entire CH team for giving our home a gorgeous new look that is modern, warm and inviting, fun, and full of great features.Service: Remodeling

We chose Compelling Homes to do a full remodel our master bathroom and we are so happy we did. The final design is beautiful and the work is high quality. They captured our vision perfectly. The process for selecting finishes was easy. They were great at providing suggestions and letting us know when our crazy ideas would cost more than we wanted to spend. Throughout the renovation process they communicated frequently with updates on progress and were quick to respond when we had a question. Highly recommend!Service: Remodeling

We just finished a main floor remodel with Compelling Homes and couldn't be any happier! Our remodel included taking down an existing wall, expanding and renovating the kitchen, renovating a bathroom, replacing some windows and doors, and new flooring and paint. The transformation is amazing!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, they finished our project early.They were completely transparent. If we ran into a problem, they let us know right away. We always knew exactly where we stood in terms of 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 whom we had access to 24-7. Whenever we had a question or needed something, he responded immediately. From start to finish, they made the process seemless. They turned what could have been an overwhelming project for us into an easy and fun undertaking.We're thrilled we chose Compelling Homes and would do it again in a heartbeat!Services: Tile work installation, Install flooring, Paint indoors, Remodeling, Drywall installation

We decided to add a 3 season room to our house and were recommended by a relative to contact Compelling Homes. Couldn't make a better choice. Rusty and Naomi came up with a perfect project. We were afraid that foundation work will ruin our back yard but Rusty offered to use Techno Metal Posts (completely new thing for us) and that idea worked perfectly. We were amazed how well and smooth they organized all work with so many crews involved into completing the project. Andrew was the man supervising every step all the way. Very professional, extremely knowledgeable and pleasant man. Our addition was built and finished very fast and it looks gorgeous. 100% matching the rest of the house. Got a lot of compliments from our neighbors. We would give them 10 stars if we could. Thank you guys very much!

The Compelling Homes team designed an amazing remodel for our entire first floor. The attention to detail created an awesome finished product that we absolutely love. We are not the creative types, but when the team came back with their ideas for the space we were blown away and now we have a more functional space that is worth every penny. We always recommend them to any of our friends thinking about starting a remodel project because we know the CH team will make sure that every detail is perfect. Other positives is that they were open and honest with cost and timeline so there were no surprises along the way and we felt fully informed about the entire process. Everyone on the team was excellent to work with and we would definitely use them again.

We are so glad that we trusted the Compelling Homes team with our home remodel. We bought an older ranch home with 'great bones' that needed a LOT of updating (several walls down to open the living space, total kitchen reconfiguration/remodel, total bathroom reconfiguration/remodel, two other bathrooms updated, added a wet bar in the basement, other cosmetic updates throughout). Rusty and Naomi helped us see the potential in our home, designed several beautiful layouts for us to choose from, and guided us through every step of the design process. Andrew and Andy from Compelling and the sub contractors who worked on our project were professional, courteous, and very communicative so we always knew what was going on and were able to get our questions answered right away. Our whole project took several months and could have been very, very overwhelming. The Compelling team made the whole process straight forward, clear, and I really appreciated that they were quick to give me a recommendation when they could tell I was struggling to make a decision. I would strongly recommend Compelling Homes to anyone who is considering a remodel - you won't regret it.

We had Rusty and his team update our home. We painted all the woodwork white, new countertops in kitchen, laundry, and master bath as well as new backsplash. Rusty and his team were a pleasure to work with. They are very detailed in their work and the end results are amazing. I would highly recommend him for your home project.

I own an interior Finish Carpentry company and we contract out to Compelling Homes. We work with a lot of different contractors and the Compelling crew is the most organized, attentive and detail oriented company I know. They do very nice remodels and I always look forward to Compelling Homes projects. I would use them on my own home.

Working with Rusty and the entire Compelling Homes' team is an absolute honor and pleasure. Without exception, each and every Compelling Homes project receives the highest levels of attention and care. Compelling Homes' professionalism, foresight and design expertise is second to none in the Des Moines market.

Rusty, Naomi, and the whole crew at Compelling Homes helped make our dream for a finished basement a reality. They were consummate professionals, but also made you feel like family. They answered every question we had (and we had many) in a timely manner and to our satisfaction. Now we have a beautiful theater room and bar to enjoy in our home. We were also incredibly grateful to Rusty and Compelling Homes for helping us after we had water in our basement from flash flooding less than a year after finishing our basement. I can't recommend CH enough!

The Compelling Homes team is second to none. Many companies talk about customer service and looking at things from a customers perspective, but few follow through —the entire team from owner on down lives it. In addition, their ability to adapt and deliver is extraordinary. Add in the talented people they bring in to complete all aspects of the construction and remodel project, and we couldn’t be more happy with the results.

I cannot say enough good things about Compelling Homes. We are nearly complete with a 4th remodel job using this fine company and the service just keeps getting better. The owner (Rusty Green) will go to any length to keep his customers informed, satisfied and happy. He is a real pro at what he does! Even more, he is a man of the highest values and ingegrity. Use this company for your next remodel - big or small. They will not disappoint.
