"What a great company to deal with! Rusty and his team go the extra mile to make sure every detail of the project is perfect. Definitely recommend them for any type of remodel!"

Dino

Grimes, IA

"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. Add in the talented people they bring in to complete all aspects of the construction and remodel project, and we couldn’t be happier with the results."

Ron

Urbandale, IA

"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 will go to any length to keep his customers informed, satisfied, and happy. Use this company for your next remodel - big or small. They will not disappoint."

"We love Rusty and the Compelling Homes team. We had some pretty complex requests but they turned our unfinished basement into a fabulous rustic hangout space. Rusty has great ideas and he has an eye for details. We can not wait to work with them again on a new master bath and kitchen. I would never go anywhere else."

Stephanie

"My wife & I have been contemplating remodeling our basement & the guys at Compelling Homes have been incredibly approachable & open. We are excited to see what amazing things will happen in our house! Make sure you ask for Rusty, he is super easy to work with & has a plethora of knowledge. Thanks, Compelling Homes, we're so happy we found you!"

Bryan

West Des Moines, IA

"Rusty and his team managed our custom covered deck project perfectly and they knocked it out of the park! Rusty made some great suggestions to arrive at the perfect space for my family! We use it all the time and our kids and their friends gather and hang out there all the time! I wish I could post a pic here...the space is amazing!"

Jeremy

Urbandale, IA

"We are not the creative types, but when the team came back with their ideas for 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."
