Des Moines Renovation Company

We specialize in high quality home renovations in historic Des Moines neighborhoods

We are Des Moines Renovation Company, a real estate development firm and proud sister company to Eric Quiner Realtor.  We revitalize urban neighborhoods by bringing integrity, thoughtful design, and top-notch craftsmanship to every property we renovate. And whenever possible, we leverage sponsored programs for the benefit of our clients.

With a talented team of designers, architects, and skilled tradespeople, we transform neglected and run-down properties throughout the Des Moines metro. We honor the unique, historic charm of the buildings we restore while creating beautiful, healthy, affordable homes that modern buyers love.

Breathing new life into classic Des Moines homes, one renovation at a time

Our Design Philosophy

We believe that many of the best houses in Des Moines were built decades ago. But too many of them have fallen victim to neglect, shoddy maintenance or simple old age.

That's where the Des Moines Renovation Co. comes in. We find houses whose souls have been buried by years of neglect and bring them back to life as unique, artful, and soulful living spaces.

We celebrate the unique character of each property we restore. We transform once-grand houses into homes that integrate old world charm with modern amenities and technology.

We love grand reveals! And we're especially proud of our 2025 37th Street project reveal.

Our Approach

More than slapping on a new coat of paint, our team ferrets out the charm of the property; then optimizes its potential through contemporary design, architecture, and construction practices.

We help you access financial incentives

You might be surprised to learn about the financial incentives available to Des Moines homeowners through government or agency sponsored programs. We have special expertise in Invest DSM Programs and the City of Des Moines Tax Abatement Program.

Invest DSM helps you renovate your home or buy a renovated classic.

What do you want to do?

Single Family Developer Program

I want to buy a renovated classic

Homeowner Renovation Program

I want to renovate my home

Do you own a home in Des Moines that you love, but is showing its age and in need of a refresh? If so you might be eligible for the Invest DSM Homeowner Renovation Program.

Save on Property Taxes for Ten Years

The city of Des Moines provides a tax abatement on qualified home restoration projects. Here’s how it works.

Normally, when you improve your home, its value goes up, and so do your property taxes. But with this program, you’ll keep paying the lower taxes based on what your home was worth before the renovation, otherwise known as the basis. This way, you get to pay less in taxes for 10 years, even though your house is worth more!

We work with the city on your behalf to make sure your restoration is approved for the ten year property tax abatement.

Our Commitment to Quality

We are all about quality design and workmanship. And as an approved developer in the Invest DSM Single Family Developer Program, we happily comply with their published Design & Construction Standards.

These standards define how we design and execute the restoration. The guidelines touch on all aspects of the project including licensing, insurance, zoning, building code compliance, warranties on workmanship, materials and appliances, and the proper remediation of any hazardous materials found during the renovation.

And perhaps most importantly, the guidelines insure we strike the proper balance between current technology and the preservation of legacy design elements. This means you will benefit from modern technology and construction best practices, while preserving the charm and elegance of the original design.

To meet our quality standards, we only work with the best local architectural firms, design agencies, financial firms, and building trade contractors.

We gravitate to the neighborhoods where our renovation services — bundled with the financial perks provided by Invest DSM and the Des Moines Tax Abatement Program — will provide the most value and lifestyle options to our clients.
