Brothers Jimmy and Joe Bach, Des Moines, have recently been named as Kitchen Refresh franchisees for the greater Des Moines area.
Kitchen Refresh utilizes a room’s existing cabinetry to enable homeowners, landlords, and businesses an alternative to complete kitchen or bath renovation by using the space’s outdated, worn or homely cabinets and updating them with a new color, new doors, new drawer fronts, new concealed, soft-close hinges, new drawer and door pull hardware, and cabinet additions, modifications or other alterations if desired, as well as new countertops, flooring and other improvements. Kitchen Refresh transformations are typically completed in just 1-5 days and for up to 75 percent less than custom or semi-custom cabinets.
Jimmy, originally from Ida Grove, Iowa, has 7 years of home remodeling experience, attended Iowa State University, has earned a commercial pilot license and also has experience as an executive chef.
Jimmy co-owns Des Moines remodeling company Knopros Inc. with his brother Joe, and will be offering Kitchen Refresh by Knopros.
“We have completed everything from new home construction to additions, and everything in-between,” Jimmy said. Having started as contractors working with real estate investors and real estate agents on rehab properties, they eventually added residential remodeling into their scope of work, focusing on kitchens, baths and basements.
“I love the challenges that each individual project brings and the client relationships,” Jimmy said. “The client reactions to transformations are always extremely gratifying. I like to take the complexities of a project and the teamwork it takes to bring everything together.” Joe agreed, adding “My favorite part about renovation is seeing the whole process – the before and after – from design to the finished result.”
Jimmy and his fiancé Lacey have a 9-month old son, Jace.
Joe, also originally from Ida Grove, Iowa, has 4 years of home improvement industry experience and a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Loyola University of Chicago. He performs on the weekends with the band “Call of the Road,” which plays a blend of country, rock and blues.
Joe and his wife Kimberly Markert-Bach have a Great Pyrenees/Border Collie named Anuk.

A standard Kitchen Refresh focuses on transforming the look of your cabinets efficiently and affordably. It includes:
This targeted approach creates a dramatic update without needing to tear out your entire kitchen. The core Refresh is focused on the cabinets themselves, but some locations also offer options to replace countertops or backsplashes.
One of our biggest advantages is speed! The on-site installation portion of your Kitchen Refresh is typically completed in just 1 to 5 days, depending on the size and complexity of your kitchen. This is significantly faster than a traditional remodel, which can take weeks or even months, minimizing disruption to your home and routine. The process includes preparation, cabinet box painting, and final installation of your new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware.
The best part? Your kitchen remains functional throught the whole process!
Yes! Because we focus on replacing the most visible elements (doors and drawer fronts) and refreshing the existing cabinet boxes rather than demolishing and replacing everything, our process is significantly more cost-effective. Homeowners typically save up to 75% compared to the cost of a conventional, full custom cabinet replacement or major remodel. You get a beautiful, high-impact update without the massive expense.
We pride ourselves on providing a high-quality, durable finish. Your new cabinet doors and drawer fronts are brand new, custom-manufactured in North Dakota. They are designed to withstand daily kitchen use and maintain their beauty for years to come. We offer a wide variety of styles and finishes, all selected for their quality and aesthetic appeal.
