Home Remodeling in Ames & Ankeny, Iowa

One Team to Plan, Build, and See Your Remodel Through

A successful remodel takes more than good craftsmanship. It takes clear planning, consistent communication, and a team that stays involved from the first consultation through completion.

Cyclone Contracting has been remodeling homes throughout Ames, Ankeny, and Central Iowa since 1996. We take on kitchens, bathrooms, basements, decks, windows, exterior doors, and larger projects involving multiple areas of the home.

Our approach is built around giving homeowners more clarity from the beginning. With in-house design support, fixed-cost budgeting, dedicated office staff, and a full-time field team, the details of your project are worked through before construction gets underway.

You can also follow progress through Buildertrend, where project updates, photos, and documents are available in one place. Our commitment to the entire remodeling experience helped us earn Best Remodeler honors in both 2023 and 2025.

A Remodeling Process Built Around Clarity

Remodeling can be disruptive enough without wondering who to call, what comes next, or how much the project will ultimately cost. Our process is designed to answer those questions early.

Cyclone Contracting brings several parts of the project together under one roof:

• Fixed-cost budgeting: Your project is priced around an agreed plan before construction begins, giving you a clearer financial picture from the start.

• In-house design: Our design team helps you work through layouts, products, materials, and selections before they reach the construction phase.

• Dedicated office support: Our office staff stays involved throughout the project and helps coordinate schedules, communication, and documentation.

• Full-time field staff: A consistent production team anchors the work in your home, with trusted trade partners brought in when specialized work is needed.

• Buildertrend access: Follow updates, review project information, and see photos through your client portal.

• Schedule-focused planning: Projects are organized around a defined plan and timeline so everyone knows what the work is moving toward.

Backed by a 5-Year Limited Craftsmanship Warranty

Our responsibility doesn't disappear when construction ends. We provide a 5-year limited warranty on craftsmanship, giving you continued protection if an issue arises from the way the work was completed.

That coverage is separate from applicable manufacturer warranties on the products installed in your home, many of which include limited lifetime coverage. It's one more way we stand behind the work long after you've settled back into the space.

See Materials and Finished Projects Before You Decide

Planning a remodel is easier when you can see more than samples on a screen. Our showroom at 215 Alexander Avenue, Suite A in Ames gives you a place to meet with our design team, look through materials, and compare options in person. It’s also one of two Central Iowa showrooms featuring Hunter Douglas products.

You can pair that visit with a look through our project portfolio, which features completed kitchens, bathrooms, basements, decks, and other remodeling projects throughout Central Iowa. Seeing both the materials and finished work can give you a much better sense of what feels right for your own home.
