Kitchen Cabinet & Countertop Installation in Ames & Ankeny, Iowa
Turn Your Ideas Into Reality
Create a Kitchen That Works Better Every Day
Cabinets and countertops influence nearly every part of how you use your kitchen. They determine how much storage you have, how easily you can prepare meals, and how the room feels when everything comes together.
Cyclone Contracting helps homeowners design and install kitchen cabinetry and countertops as part of a coordinated remodeling process. Our in-house design team helps you work through layouts, materials, finishes, and details before installation begins, with a fixed-cost approach that gives you a clear upfront project price.
We install cabinetry from trusted brands such as DuraSupreme, Verch, Wellmark Forest, and Onix, along with countertop options including Cambria quartz, granite, laminate, and butcher block. The right combination depends on how you use your kitchen, the style you want to create, and the features that matter most to you.
Cabinet Brands Available Through Cyclone Contracting
Choosing cabinets involves more than picking a door style. Construction, finish quality, storage options, and the way the cabinets fit your kitchen layout all affect the final result.
We work with several cabinet manufacturers to provide options across different styles and configurations:
DuraSupreme Cabinetry: Offers a wide selection of door styles, finishes, and customization options for kitchens ranging from traditional to contemporary
Verch Cabinetry: Provides versatile cabinet solutions with options designed around different kitchen layouts and design preferences
Wellmark Forest: Offers cabinetry options with a focus on quality construction and finish selections
Onix Cabinetry: Provides additional flexibility for projects that require specific sizing or design considerations
During the design process, we help you compare cabinet styles, finishes, and configurations so the finished kitchen feels intentional rather than like a collection of separate selections. You can see how cabinetry comes together in a completed space by viewing our Ironwood Kitchen Remodel.
Countertop Materials We Work With
Countertops need to look good, but they also need to handle everyday use. The right material depends on your expectations for maintenance, durability, appearance, and budget.
We work with several countertop materials, including:
Cambria Quartz: A low-maintenance surface option that does not require sealing and works well for busy kitchens
Granite: A natural stone option with unique patterns and color variation
Laminate: A practical choice with a wide range of colors and styles
Butcher Block: Adds warmth and natural character to kitchen designs
Cambria is our primary countertop partner, but we help homeowners evaluate all available options based on how the kitchen will be used and how the countertops will work with the cabinetry. For a closer look at different countertop choices, our countertop materials guide covers common advantages and considerations.
A Cabinet and Countertop Process Built Around Your Kitchen
Cabinet and countertop projects require decisions that work together. Our team keeps the process organized with in-house design, clear pricing, and coordinated installation.
Plan Your Kitchen Design
We start with a consultation to discuss your goals, layout, storage needs, and style preferences. Our in-house design team helps you explore options.
Finalize Your Selections
Together, we narrow down cabinetry, countertops, finishes, hardware, and functional details so every part of the kitchen works as one design.
Establish Your Project Cost
Once the plan is complete, we provide a fixed project cost before installation begins, giving you a clear understanding of your investment.
Install and Track Your Progress
Our field staff and office team coordinate installation while BuilderTrend keeps you updated with project photos, logs, and progress details.
Cabinet Features That Improve Everyday Kitchen Function
The best kitchens aren't just visually appealing. They’re designed around everyday routines. During the design process, we help you think through details such as:
Soft-Close Hinges and Drawer Glides: Reduce noise and provide smoother operation
Pull-Out Shelves: Make deeper cabinets easier to access
Deep Drawer Storage: Create better organization for cookware, utensils, and larger kitchen items
Island Cabinetry: Add workspace and storage when the layout allows
Interior Organization Accessories: Improve how specialty items are stored and accessed
Cabinet finishes and door styles also shape the overall look of the kitchen. Painted cabinets can create a clean, modern feel, while stained finishes often add warmth and natural character. Door profiles, hardware, and surrounding materials all contribute to the final design.
Kitchen Cabinet and Countertop Project Cost Factors
The cost of a cabinet and countertop project depends on several factors, including kitchen size, cabinet selections, countertop material, layout changes, and installation requirements.
Rather than starting with a number that changes as you make decisions, we work through the design details first and set a fixed project cost before work begins. This approach gives you a clearer understanding of your investment before installation starts.
Financing options are available for qualifying projects through our lending partners. We can discuss available options during your consultation. We also back our craftsmanship with a five-year warranty, while individual products may include manufacturer warranties depending on the materials selected.
