AIM Kitchen & Bath Now Offers Home Additions in Des Moines

June 15, 2026 by Marketing

A Space for the People Who Matter Most

There comes a point in a lot of families’ lives when the question isn’t whether to bring mom closer, it’s how. A
separate house feels too far and a bedroom down the hall doesn’t feel like enough. What this Windsor Heights
family needed was something in between, a real space where she could walk in and feel at home, not like a
guest. It’s exactly the kind of project that marks a new chapter for AIM Kitchen and Bath, because after years of
full-service remodeling across the Des Moines area, we are now offering home additions for the first time in
over 25 years.

What We Just Started Building

This Des Moines area home addition project kicks off with removing an existing deck and building a full mother-
in-law suite on the main level of the home. Designed to provide both independence and proximity, the addition
will include a kitchenette, private bathroom, large walk-in closet with a stacked washer and dryer, and a small
seating area. The goal is to create a comfortable living space that allows her to stay close to family while
maintaining a sense of privacy and autonomy.

The Details That Make It Feel Like Home

Thoughtful details are what make a space truly livable. The private bathroom is being designed to be ADA
compliant for future accessibility needs, with a walk-in shower instead of a soaker tub. Custom cabinetry in the
kitchenette, a spacious walk-in closet, integrated laundry, and a layout tailored to her daily routines help make
the suite feel less like an addition and more like home.

The Work You Never See But Always Notice

Before any of the finish work happens, there is real structural work underway, extending the foundation, tying
the addition into the existing home, and making sure the heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing systems are
done right. It is the kind of work that nobody notices until it is done wrong, and we take that seriously.
