A kitchen built for how you use it

Kitchen remodeling in Decorah, Iowa

When your kitchen layout does not work anymore, you notice it every day. Cabinets that block the sink, countertops that are too short for meal prep, or appliances crammed into corners all add up. In Decorah, many older homes still have galley kitchens or layouts designed for a different era, and a full remodel can open up the space and make it function the way your family actually lives.

Farley Construction LLC handles full kitchen renovations, including layout updates, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and lighting. We work with you from the planning stage through the final walkthrough, coordinating plumbing, electrical, and finish work so the project moves without gaps. Whether you are updating a 1920s farmhouse or reconfiguring a split-level kitchen, we focus on improving function, flow, and long-term value.

What a full kitchen remodel involves

We begin by removing old cabinets, countertops, and flooring, then assess the subfloor, walls, and plumbing before rebuilding. In Decorah, older homes sometimes have settling or outdated wiring, so we address those issues before installing new finishes. We frame out any new openings, move outlets to code-compliant locations, and install cabinets using shims and levels to ensure doors close evenly.

When the remodel is finished, you will have a kitchen with clear sightlines, countertops positioned where you need them, and storage that actually holds what you use. Drawers will glide smoothly, the sink will drain properly, and the lighting will be placed where you prep and cook instead of just overhead.

We coordinate with licensed plumbers and electricians, manage inspections, and keep the work area contained so the rest of your home stays livable. Our crew is experienced with full renovations and handles everything from demolition to final trim. We communicate clearly at every stage and provide updates when timelines or material deliveries shift.

Questions homeowners ask before remodeling

Most people want to know how long they will be without a kitchen, what happens if we find hidden damage, and whether the layout can really change.

How long does a full kitchen remodel take?
Most projects in Decorah take four to six weeks, depending on the scope and whether walls are being moved. We provide a detailed timeline before starting and update you if anything changes during the work.
Can you move walls or change the layout?
Yes, we can remove non-load-bearing walls, relocate doorways, and reconfigure the layout to improve flow. If a wall is structural, we install a beam and posts to carry the load safely.
What if you find damage behind the walls?
We document any rot, mold, or outdated wiring and explain what needs to be repaired before moving forward. You will see photos and a cost estimate before we make any changes.
Will I be able to use the kitchen during the remodel?
Not during the active work, but we set up a temporary area with a microwave, coffee maker, and access to water if possible. Most families use the dining room or a spare counter during the project.
How do you handle old plumbing and electrical?
We work with licensed tradespeople to bring plumbing and electrical up to current code. This includes moving outlets away from sinks, upgrading circuits for new appliances, and replacing old galvanized or copper lines if needed.
