The 2008 Des Moines Metro’s 8th Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes will be held September 20-21 and Firstcall is pleased to participate again this year by featuring two of our recent projects. 

Our first remodeled home is located in Urbandale and started out as a fire restoration project. Because the home needed extensive work, the owners decided this was a good time to have us create a more open floor plan for entertaining family and friends. While restoring the fire loss, Firstcall remodeled much of the main level and created a completely new look for the home. The new kitchen adjacent to the new hearth room is now a pleasant area for relaxation and conversation. 

Our second project, located in West Des Moines, is an elegant 30-year-old, two-story home that underwent a major   whole-house remodel. Firstcall removed interior walls to give the home a more open and comfortable feel. The spotlight of this remodel is a full kitchen renovation featuring cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and hardwood floors. By changing the functionality of the existing rooms, Firstcall turned the formal dining room into a hearth room, a great place for reading the morning paper or a good book. The main level powder room was relocated, creating a spacious flow from the kitchen into the family area. The sunroom received a new interior and the garage was remodeled as well. 

We invite you to tour both of our beautifully remodeled homes this year!
