Service details
Service area · Des Moines
A contractor who treats Des Moines homes like they should be treated.
From Sherman Hill bungalows to Beaverdale brick, South of Grand renovations to Pleasant Hill ranches, Des Moines homes have history and character. We protect both.
Why Des Moines
We grew up here. We work here. We stand behind it here.
Des Moines has the most varied housing stock of any city in our service area. Pre-war plaster homes near downtown, mid-century brick in Beaverdale, sprawling estates South of Grand, and newer-build neighborhoods in Pleasant Hill and Norwalk. Each one needs a different approach.
We're known for older-home work in Des Moines, plaster repair done right, original trim restored or matched, kitchens and baths brought into this century without making the rest of the house feel patched. We also do a lot of home-sale prep here, where the timeline and the list of what actually matters for appraisal both matter.
Lifetime workmanship guarantee, transparent itemized pricing, one project lead from estimate to final walkthrough. The same standard whether you're in a 1920s Sherman Hill home or a Norwalk new build.
