Decks & Patios

Treated-lumber and composite decks, pergolas, covered porches, steps and the patio underneath, framed on footings 42 inches down and inspected at every stage the city requires.

Home Additions & ADUs

Room additions, bump-outs, four-season rooms, second stories and accessory dwelling units, with the foundation, framing, roof tie-in and exterior finished so the new part looks like it was always there.

Garages

One, two and three stall detached garages, attached garages and garage rebuilds, on a frost-protected footing, with the slab, overhead doors and electrical rough-in coordinated so you get keys once, not three times.

Fencing

Privacy fences, horizontal-board fences, picket fences and gates in pressure-treated lumber or cedar, with posts set below the frost line so the fence is still straight in five winters.

Roofing, Siding & Exteriors

Architectural shingle and steel roofing, siding, soffit, fascia and gutters, and replacement windows and doors, on the buildings we put up and on the house that is already there.

Kitchens & Bathrooms

Kitchen and bathroom remodels from the studs out: layout changes, cabinets, counters, tile, flooring and fixtures, with licensed electrical and plumbing subcontractors scheduled so the room is out of action for as short a stretch as possible.

Interior Remodeling

Basement finishes, partition walls, drywall and plaster repair, flooring, tile, doors and trim: the interior work that turns unused square footage into rooms, done in the right order so nothing gets redone.

New Builds & Commercial

Pole barns, shops, warehouses and machine sheds, ground-up residential builds, and commercial interiors, engineered for Iowa wind and snow and built to a drawing the permit office will accept.

Landscaping & Lawn Care

Planting beds with stone or steel edging, rock and mulch, small retaining walls, grading and drainage, and lawn care, so the ground around a new deck, garage or fence is finished when the structure is.

Emergency & Storm Repairs

Emergency repairs and after-hours calls, wind and hail damage to roofs, siding, decks, fences and garages, and tree-strike structural repair, with the damage documented properly for your insurance claim.
