A Legacy Home Remodeling Company
That Puts Customers First

Established in 1986 in a small shop in Hiawatha, Iowa, Hometown Restyling is proud to have served thousands of residential remodeling customers throughout Eastern Iowa over the past three decades. 

While much has changed over the years, one thing has remained the same: We are still locally owned and operated and on a mission to deliver quality products and full-service support with a personal touch. 

At Hometown Restyling, we know your home is your greatest investment. From the time we arrive at your door, we treat it like our own. This means bringing in only trained employees who work for Hometown Restyling. It means having a team of experts you can easily call when you have questions, and a local, in-house service department to handle your needs after the project is complete. 

It also means being mindful of your budget. Hometown Restyling focuses on delivering the quality of workmanship that can withstand the test of time. We might not always have the lowest estimate, but we strive to provide a final product that lasts and costs less over time—and we stand behind it for life. 

Today, Hometown Restyling has five local owners and more than 85 employees who serve customers within a 90-mile radius of Cedar Rapids. On any given day, you can stop by our showroom and talk to one of our owners. If we aren’t there, you might find us attending a school event, riding the bike trails, volunteering with a local organization, or even just hanging out at a local establishment. Our ties to the area go well beyond the work we do here—we take pride in our work and in our community. 

See how our story began and how we’ve evolved in the nearly 40 years we’ve been in business.
