Home Remodeling & Additions in Iowa City, North Liberty & Coralville, Iowa
Kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishes, and additions for homeowners who want to change how their current house works — not start over. Built directly by Kevin Hochstedler, from your first walkthrough to your final walkthrough.
45+
Years Remodeling Homes
One Builder for Every Remodel, Small or Large
Kevin Hochstedler has remodeled and added onto homes across Johnson County for 45 years — kitchens, baths, basement finishes, and additions that change how a house works without a ground-up rebuild. Roughly half of our current work is remodeling and additions rather than new construction, especially as buildable lots have gotten harder to find.
What that means for you:
you’re working with the person actually managing the trades in your home, not a subcontractor who disappears once their piece is done.
What’s Included in Home Remodeling & Additions
Every remodel or addition runs through one team, from the first walkthrough to the final punch list — not a chain of subcontractors billing separately for each phase.
Kitchen Remodels
Layout changes, cabinetry, and finishes built around how you actually cook and gather, not a one-size showroom package.
Bathroom Remodels
Full gut renovations or targeted updates, with plumbing and electrical work, with luxury finishes.
Basement Finishes
Turning unfinished square footage into livable space. Cozy, classical, or hyper-modern basements designed to your preference.
Home Additions
Exciting new spaces or expansions that tie into your existing structure, foundation, and systems without feeling like an afterthought.
Where We Remodel & Add On
Most of our remodeling and addition projects are in the Iowa City, North Liberty, and Coralville corridor, with select projects further out in Tiffin, Kalona, and Muscatine.

Remodeling and addition work across North Liberty’s growing neighborhoods, including homes in the Arlington Ridge subdivision.
Additions Built to Match What’s Already There
An addition is only as good as how well it ties into your existing house. A mismatched foundation, roofline, or set of systems creates problems that show up years later, not on move-in day.
Every addition we build is engineered to tie into your home’s existing foundation, framing, and mechanical systems — not just sit next to them. That means matching footing depth to Johnson County’s 42-inch frost line even when your original home was built to an older code, coordinating new HVAC and electrical runs with what’s already in the walls, and flashing rooflines so water moves the way it’s supposed to instead of finding a new place to pool.
After 45 years remodeling in this climate, we plan those details into the estimate before the first wall comes down — not as a change order once the work is underway.

03
Construction
Kevin is on-site through the build, protecting the rest of your home while the remodeled space comes together.
04
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
We walk the finished space with you, handle anything on the punch list, and stand behind the work after it’s done.

Why Homeowners Choose Us for Remodels & Additions
When you remodel with Hochstedler Building and Development, you’re not handed off to a rotating crew mid-project or left guessing who’s responsible when something doesn’t line up. Kevin scopes the work, coordinates every trade, and is still on-site the week your space is finished — the same as he’s been doing across Johnson County for 45 years. Most of our remodeling clients come from realtor referrals and repeat business, not advertising.
Questions About Remodeling & Additions in Iowa City & North Liberty
Do you handle both small updates and full remodels?
Yes. We take on everything from a single bathroom update to a full kitchen gut, basement finish, or home addition — the scope doesn’t change how closely we manage it.
How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel take?
It depends on the scope — a bathroom update and a full kitchen gut have very different timelines. We’ll give you a project-specific schedule during your initial walkthrough rather than a generic estimate.
Can you match an addition to my home's existing style and structure?
Yes. Every addition is engineered to tie into your home’s existing foundation, framing, and rooflines, not just built next to them.
Do I need to move out during a remodel?
It depends on the scope and which parts of the house are affected. We’ll talk through what to expect for your specific project during the initial walkthrough.
Do you handle the permitting for a remodel or addition?
Yes. We pull the required Johnson County or municipal permits and build inspections into the schedule as part of the project.
How far will you travel for a remodeling project?
Most projects stay within the Iowa City, North Liberty, and Coralville corridor, but we’ve traveled up to about 50 miles for the right project, including recent work in Muscatine.
