Kitchen Remodeling in Ames and Ankeny, Iowa
Turn Your Ideas Into Reality
A Kitchen Designed Around How You Actually Use It
A kitchen remodel can do more than replace outdated cabinets and countertops. It can improve how you cook, store everyday essentials, and move through one of the busiest rooms in your home. At Cyclone Contracting, our kitchen projects bring design, product selections, construction, and project coordination together under one team, so you aren't left piecing the process together yourself.
With in-house design support and a fixed-cost budgeting approach, we work through the major decisions before construction begins. Once work is underway, our office and field teams keep the project organized while Buildertrend gives you another way to follow progress.
What Does a Cyclone Kitchen Remodel Include?
Every kitchen is different, but we can coordinate the full project rather than limiting the work to one part of the room.
Depending on your plans, your remodel may include:
Kitchen layout and design
Cabinet selection and installation
Countertop selection and installation
Faucets, fixtures, and finish selections
Lighting and other project details
Our in-house design team helps bring those pieces together before the work reaches the construction phase.

Cabinets, Countertops, and Finishes That Work Together
Our design process considers the room as a whole, rather than treating every selection as a separate decision. Here’s what we offer:
Kitchen Cabinetry
We work with cabinetry manufacturers including DuraSupreme Cabinetry, Verch, and Wellmark Forest. Our design team can help you compare configurations, door styles, finishes, and other details based on the direction you want to take the room.
Countertops
Countertops need to stand up to daily cooking, cleaning, and gathering. Cambria is among the manufacturers we work with for kitchen projects. Countertop selections are coordinated with the rest of the design so you can compare surfaces alongside cabinetry and finishes rather than making each choice in isolation.
Backsplash
From a classic white subway tile to unique patterns and colors, you can’t go wrong with adding a backsplash to your list of to-do’s when you remodel your kitchen. With Cyclone handling your construction needs, we’ll know just the right backsplash to pair with your new cabinets and countertops.
Fixtures and Finishing Details
Faucets, hardware, and other finishing details may come later in the design process, but they have a noticeable effect on the finished kitchen. We work with manufacturers including Delta, and our design team helps coordinate these selections with the rest of the room.
How Your Kitchen Remodel Comes Together
Good communication starts with having a clear plan. Our process is designed to work through the important decisions early and give you clear points of contact once construction begins.
Consultation: We start by learning what isn't working in your current kitchen, what you'd like to change, and what matters most to you.
Design: Our in-house design team develops the layout and coordinates cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and finishes.
Budget: Once the project details are established, we build the remodel around a fixed-cost budget rather than relying on open-ended allowances.
Construction: Our full-time field staff coordinates the work on site, with specialized trade partners involved when the project calls for them.
Communication: Dedicated office staff helps keep scheduling and project communication organized. You'll also have access to Buildertrend for project logs, photos, and other updates.
Completion: Once the work is finished, we review the completed kitchen with you and address final project details.

Professional Kitchen Remodeling with Pristine Results
What our clients say about us
The team at Cyclone Contracting just finished up installing our new living room window and it looks amazing! Dave, Cody, Rodney and Hunter did amazing work, communicated great and treated our house like there own while they were here. Great experience!
We had Cyclone Contracting do a bathroom remodel. There were some hiccups along the way, as in almost any construction project, and they were handled promptly and professionally. We love our new bathroom!
We used Cyclone Contractors for the remodel of our bathroom and it was worth every penny. They worked hard to design a bathroom that was within our budget. It’s not only a beautiful bathroom but it’s functional for our lifestyle as well. Their team (subcontractors too) were all professional, responsive, and kind throughout the project.
Had my front porched remodeled by Cyclone Construction. The work they did was outstanding, and Nathan, Dave, Cody, and Milo were great to work with. Will definitely use them again if I've got any major remodeling work that I need to have done.
We hired Cyclone Contracting to put up blinds in our sunroom and we couldn't be happier! Michelle came out and was a huge help with the selection. I couldn't have done it without her. They came in yesterday after only four weeks and Dan and DJ came out today for the installation. They were great and very knowledgeable about their product. Everyone was fantastic from start to finish!
