Des Moines Kitchen Remodel

When remodeling a kitchen you should always look at all the possiblities when designing your kitchen space.  In this particular kitchen, we wanted a more open feel into the living room.  With all the newer homes having a more open floor plan, these homeowners wanted to stay in their home but have the feel of a newer style floorplan.  In this Des Moines kitchen remodel, we removed an 18′ load bearing wall and installed a LVL header to support the roof.  We removed all the drywall,  updated the electrical and installed can lighting.  Something that I like to recommend to the homeower is to build a pantry closet rather than purchasing a very expensive pantry cabinet from the manufacturer.  You can see in this kitchen, we were able to chose a pantry door that is very similar in style to the cabinets and match the stain perfectly – at half the cost of a cabinet and twice the space.  We finished the floor off with 3/4 ” oak throughout the main level and wrapped the island with wainscotting to match the cabinets.
