Home Remodeling Services in Des Moines, Iowa

Our Process

Having your home remodeled can be rewarding, yet stressful. Don’t worry — we’ll guide you every step of the way.

• Initial Feasibility Study: The first step in our process is to gather very basic information about you, your home, your wants and needs, and your ideas for your project. Our goal is to give you a very fluid and general budget recommendation for what we think it will take to accomplish what you are looking for. Knowing every project is different from the next, we have learned that this is an important step. 99.9% of us don’t know how much to expect to pay for a project we are interested in. There are too many factors and unknowns that affect pricing at this stage to responsibly give you a firm price. That being said, we use a combination of recently completed similar project costs, square footage pricing, standardized fixture and finish pricing, along with years of experience to get you a decently close idea of what you will need to spend for us to build what you are envisioning. The more information you can give us the accurate this number will be. This can be done through the contact page on our site, over the phone, or by email.  If the general budget requirement recommendation doesn’t give you heart palpitations and is within your expectations, we will find a time to meet for an on-site initial consultation.
• Initial Consultation: We’ll meet with you in your home to discuss your wants and needs and gather general project information. Often at this initial consultation we have advice and suggestions to offer that you may not have considered. This is a great time for us to get to know you and you to learn more about MBG and our team to make sure we will be a good fit for each other.  We will leave with all our new information along with measurements of your space and head back to the office and work up an initial estimate of costs to provide you with a suggested budget range to successfully complete your project.  This meeting generally takes between 30 minutes and an hour and we make it a goal to get the initial estimate out to you within a week.
• Design & Selections: We’ll not only help you fine tune your design, we’ll also walk you through the selection process and dial in your estimate.
• Bid Proposal: Once you’re happy with your design and selections, we’ll present a firm price bid for your project.
• Pre-Production & Production: Now it’s time to schedule your work and order materials so we can start building!
• Finalization: We aren’t done until you’re satisfied. We’ll schedule a final walk through to make sure everything is to your satisfaction.
