BASEMENT REMODELING

If you're considering finishing your basement, chances are you've been wanting to do it for years.  Most of the time when we get a call for a basement finish, it's because the family's home is bursting at the seams. There is immense value in finishing your basement, and your family will enjoy having more space to relax and reconnect.

Bathroom Remodeling

Bathrooms are an often overlooked but extremely important part of your home, to be used for everything from hosing off the dog after they decided to roll in the mud, to drawing yourself a bubble bath after a hard day. From getting your kids ready in the morning with only minutes to spare until the school bus arrives, to standing under a rainfall showerhead with your favorite music blasting to get some 'you' time.

KITCHEN REMODELING

The kitchen is where life happens. It's where meals to share are prepared, homework is done at the eat-in island, or hours of Monopoly are played around the table. It's where you start your day, and potentially it's the last light turned out at the end of the night. It's where you live, and where memories are made. This room should be a room that absolutely moves you and makes you want to stay and enjoy your home.

Let us show you how we can transform your thoughts and ideas into a kitchen to be lived in and loved!

White cabinet kitchen with large island featuring built-in appliances

What Our Clients Think

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 were open and honest with the 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.

Relaxing bathroom with custom cabinetry

What Our Clients Think

We love Rusty and the Compelling Homes team. We first worked with them to turn an unfinished basement into a family area, bar, workout room. We had some pretty complex requests but they turned our unfinished basement into a fabulous rustic hangout space. Rusty has great ideas and is has an eye for details. They just completed an addition over our garage and it turned out awesome inside and out. We can not wait to work with them again on a new master bath and kitchen. I would never go anywhere else. They deliver what they promise and more. They take time to get to know you and make sure your personality shows up in the final product. Love them!!

Bold and colorful kitchen featuring industrial lighting and hidden door in cabinets

What Our Clients Think

The Compelling Homes team is second to none. Many companies talk about customer service and looking at things from a customer's perspective, but few follow through — the entire team from the 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.
