Founded 40 years ago by Wayne Winn, Hometown Restyling has grown from a small rented shop to our showroom on North Center Point Road in Hiawatha. Today, we’re a full-service residential remodeler serving thousands of customers within a 90-mile radius of Cedar Rapids.
We are also proudly employee-owned—led by CEO Dave Wageman—and backed by a leadership team of five employee/owners with 150+ years of combined experience at the company.
As far as we know, we’re the only employee-owned residential remodeler in Eastern Iowa. Our roots run deep here. Just stop by our showroom or give us a call, and you will very likely find yourself talking to someone who may be your neighbor or have volunteered alongside you.
Our team includes more than 65 skilled craftsmen, carpenters, installers, and production professionals. Unlike many remodelers, we keep most of our work in-house—supporting local jobs and maintaining quality control from start to finish.
Our team is friendly, knowledgeable, and mindful of your budget. We may not always offer the lowest estimate, but we build projects to last—and we stand behind our work for life. And long after your project is complete, our in-house service department is just a call away.

Sometimes our customers have a clear project vision in their mind. Other times they need help imagining the possibilities. That’s where we come in. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of customer satisfaction. Our team provides recommendations without being pushy, and we don’t cut corners to get the job done.
Bringing your inspiration to life should be fun. When we work together, we’ll know your name and you’ll know ours. Many of our customers have worked with us for decades because of our knowledge, personal touch. and commitment to service.
When we come to our home, you can trust our contractors will leave it cleaner than they found it. We’ll also work with you to ensure your project stays on budget—just like we would if the money was coming from our own wallets.
Hometown Restyling supports our products with top-notch customer service and lifetime workmanship warranties. It’s easy to do when you have an incredibly talented group of tenured employees that take pride in their work. Whatever you need, we’re only a phone call or short drive away.
