Once you start to open your mind to the possibilities of what you can achieve with home remodeling, you’ll never look at your house the same way again. That’s exactly what happened to the owners of this 30-year-old home in Iowa City.
After living in the home for approximately ten years, they remodeled the master bedroom and bathroom in 2003. This year, they worked with the staff at Home Repair Team, Inc. to bring new life, and function, to their kitchen, living room and dining room.

The homeowners knew that they wanted new cabinets and countertops, but were unsure of how else they could improve the look and feel of their kitchen. Home Repair Team, Inc. showed the family how they could reconfigure most of the first floor living space, providing a more open living space.

The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed to expand the kitchen. What had been a sitting room became the dining room. The living room now shines with new built-in cabinets, old paneling was replaced with drywall, and you’ll find new hardwood floors throughout the kitchen and dining room. By remodeling approximately 750 sq. ft. of the main living space, this home has been completely renewed and revitalized.

Of course, moving original walls in a home is not a project to be undertaken lightly. In fact, relocating the kitchen’s plumbing proved to be quite a challenge. But with a steady determination and attention to detail, Home Repair Team, Inc. was able to rework the home to make this house much more livable for years to come.
