Options Available at Akin Design Centers
Akin Design Centers go the extra mile to provide the best service!
At Akin Building Center, we’re proud to offer a full range of products and design services to help you create spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Here’s a look at what you can expect when you work with our Akin Designers. We have Designers available in Atlantic, Clarinda, and Creston!
Quartz Countertops
When you purchase quartz through Akin and our vendor Fox, your package includes professional laser measurement and installation. If you’re looking for a more modern look, we also offer full-height quartz backsplashes as an upgrade from standard tile.
Fox provides additional services—such as demolition, removal, and plumbing hook-ups—available at an extra cost.
We also offer a selection of quartz remnants, which are perfect for bathrooms, sideboards, stair-wall tops, and other smaller applications. While we’ve explored using remnants in showers, they’ve generally been cost-prohibitive.
Flooring Solutions
Updating your flooring is one of the easiest ways to refresh your home. We carry options suitable for DIY projects as well as products that pair well with professional installation.
If you’re unsure about floating floors or click-together planks, we have great alternatives such as sheet vinyl and glue-down planks.
Trending choices—including glue-down planks, laminate, and solid wood—are performing especially well right now.
We also offer carpet squares, which are a practical favorite for lower-level spaces.
Custom Cabinetry (Available only in Creston Design Center)
We are excited to offer cabinetry from Custom Wood Products, a custom cabinet manufacturer known for beautiful craftsmanship and a wide selection of wood species. They deliver directly to your home, and their unique “Gang Building” construction method allows for a more efficient installation process.
Akin Building Center is the only vendor for this line south of Des Moines and west to Omaha—giving you access to a premium product not available anywhere else in the region.
Updating your cabinet hardware is another simple, impactful way to refresh your space, and we offer a wide variety of finishes and styles.
For improved organization and function, we also provide cabinet inserts that complement any kitchen upgrade.
Bathroom Solutions
Bathrooms are one of our specialties.
We proudly offer Onyx Collection products, which can transform your bathroom—whether in a shower, on a whirlpool tub deck, or as a lavatory top. The Onyx website is a great resource for ideas and additional product information.
If you prefer tiled walls, we offer a full selection of tile and can pair it with an Onyx base, available in three heights including a ramp option.
Full-Service Design Support
As a full-service design center, our goal is to make the experience enjoyable, efficient, and tailored to your needs.
Our design specialist will partner with you through every stage of your project:
In-home visits to understand your space and vision
Working appointments to review ideas, refine choices, and explore product options
Final buying appointments to confirm and complete your selections
We’re here to help as much—or as little—as you prefer, ensuring your finished project reflects both your inspiration and the practical function of great design.
