Do You Know What's Inside Your Walls During a Home Renovation?

September 23, 2024

Renovating a home is an exciting and rewarding experience, but it’s easy to get swept up in the final design and overlook what happens behind the scenes—literally, inside the walls. For homeowners in Des Moines, limited space can pose unique challenges. This is particularly true when transforming unused areas like attics into functional living spaces, as seen in our latest renovation project.

We take pride in not only what you see but also in what you don’t see—our commitment to craftsmanship inside your walls.

The Art of Precision in Tight Spaces

In this project, we’re working on a Des Moines home with a compact attic space that’s being converted into a living area, complete with a brand-new bathroom. Space constraints often demand creative solutions, but they also require precision and organization throughout the entire construction process.

Take a look at the photos from our job site. You’ll notice how meticulously the work is executed—from the carefully framed walls to the neat arrangement of electrical wiring and plumbing. We understand that what goes inside your walls is just as important as the final finish. Even in spaces with less wiggle room, every wire, pipe, and stud is installed with exacting care.

Behind the Drywall: The Hidden Beauty of Craftsmanship

Many people see the beauty of a completed renovation, but the real craftsmanship begins far earlier. For example, in this project, every stud and beam is perfectly aligned to maximize space and ensure structural integrity. The electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems are strategically placed, following a methodical approach to avoid interference while optimizing the functionality of the space.

It’s easy to look past the intricacies of this work, but a job done right is one that provides long-term reliability and comfort. Our attention to detail and quality craftsmanship means that your walls are not just holding up drywall—they’re holding up years of trust, safety, and enduring design.

Clean and organized progress

Neatness Counts: An Organized Job Site is a Quality Job Site

One thing that sets us apart is our commitment to maintaining a clean and organized job site. Construction can get messy, but we believe that tidiness is a reflection of care. During this renovation, we’ve made it a point to keep things orderly, whether it’s sweeping up the dust at the end of the day or neatly organizing tools and materials. This isn’t just for aesthetics—an organized workspace reduces the risk of mistakes, improves efficiency, and ensures that each phase of the project moves smoothly.

Our attention to cleanliness also protects your home from unnecessary wear and tear during the renovation. For example, covering floors and protecting finished surfaces are critical in ensuring the rest of the home remains in pristine condition.

We treat your home as if it were our own, and that means going the extra mile to ensure the work we do behind the walls is just as precise and beautiful as what you’ll see once the project is complete.

Whether it's maximizing limited attic space, installing top-notch insulation, or ensuring every wire is properly run, we believe that great craftsmanship begins from the inside. So, the next time you’re considering a renovation, remember that what’s inside your walls matters more than you might think.
