Kitchen Remodels in Des Moines
Your kitchen is more than a place to cook. It’s where meals get made, conversations happen, and your home really lives. Over time, though, kitchens fall behind: the layout stops working, storage runs out, and a space that should feel inviting starts feeling like a chore. A well-planned remodel changes that, turning a kitchen that frustrates you into one you actually enjoy.
At 3 Sons Construction, we work with homeowners across the Greater Des Moines area to rethink what their kitchens can be. Whether that means opening up the layout, upgrading cabinetry, or bringing in modern appliances, we help you build a kitchen that fits the way you actually live.
Kitchen remodeling in Des Moines isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about a space that works harder for you every day. Our clients find that a thoughtful redesign updates their homes while adding real value. Energy-efficient appliances and sustainable materials can reduce long-term costs, and for the growing number of Des Moines homeowners who take cooking seriously, a well-designed kitchen can support the functionality of a professional culinary space.
Founded in 2009 and family-owned in Ankeny, we bring more than 20 years of combined experience to every project, and we treat each kitchen like it’s our own.

Kitchen Layout Ideas for Your Remodel
Layout is one of the most consequential decisions in a kitchen remodel. It determines how the space flows, how efficiently you can cook, and how naturally the kitchen connects to the rest of your home. Here are the most common layouts to consider:
U-Shaped Kitchen Layout
The U-shaped layout uses three walls to maximize counter space and storage, with the sink, stove, and refrigerator within easy reach of each other. It’s well-suited to larger kitchens where serious cooking and serious storage are the priority. In Des Moines, this layout is especially common in family homes where the kitchen doubles as a gathering space.
L-Shaped Kitchen Layout
The L-shaped layout runs along two adjacent walls, leaving the rest of the kitchen open to a dining area or living room. That openness makes it a natural fit for smaller spaces and open-concept homes alike. Adding an island to an L-shaped kitchen is one of the easiest ways to gain prep space and casual seating without making the room feel crowded.
The flexibility of this layout makes it popular across Des Moines, from urban apartments to suburban homes. It accommodates creative cabinet and appliance configurations, meaning the finished kitchen can look and function quite differently from one home to the next.
