We do everything from site clearing , driveways, grading , demolition and much more. We service a 100 mile radius and are open to working within the entire state. If you need us call today.

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "

"We actually had a complete remodel of the basement, including a bathroom. It involved a rebuild of the walls etc in the basement, Mr Sosbee was there everyday when he said he would be and worked the complete day to complete his tasks. Everything he did ( which was extensive ) was top notch work and not only did he do the work he agreed to do but was open to suggestions along the way and in fact redirected us a few times with better ideas on how we could best use the available space, which clearly resulted in a better finished product than we had thought possible. Jack is a true craftsman--so hard to find in the world today. We would ( and will ) use him again."

Have a gentleman help with household tasks. With 20 years of experience working in construction, I have a variety of skills to bring to your door. When you need someone for the little things you need done around the house, I’m your man. My experience includes furniture assembly, drywall repair, room painting, sink and toilet repairs, roof repairs, light fixture installation, picture hanging, and moving heavy things to where you need them. Not sure if I can do a job? Ask me! You will always catch me with a smile and be respectful of your property and preferences. I make sure jobs are done right and according to what you wanted done. A recent transplant to Iowa from the South, I’ll bring that famous hospitality so you will be comfortable having me work in your home.

Repair Countertops questions, answered by experts

You should never use gritty or abrasive cleaners to clean your Formica countertops, and the same goes for scouring sponges, steel wool, or anything acid-based like vinegar. Formica can't handle high heat, so never place anything fresh from the oven or off the stovetop on a laminate surface because it will scorch.

The best blades for cutting laminate are carbide laminate-cutting blades. These blades have horizontal teeth rather than teeth that point upward and cut on the upward stroke. Cutting on the upward stroke, which is how wood blades work, can chip the laminate. Laminate-cutting blades also tend to have more teeth than wood blades, reducing the chances of chipping the countertop.

Countertop resurfacing for laminate countertops can last 5 to 10 years or more. The countertop's longevity depends on the quality of the resurfacing materials, the amount of wear and tear the countertops experience, and how well they are maintained. Avoiding heat damage, using cutting boards to prevent scratching, and cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner are ways to boost your countertop's lifespan.

If the damage is minor, you can repair countertops without replacing them. You can also resurface a laminate countertop rather than replace it when it gets old and dingy. Countertop resurfacing is a relatively easy project, though it can be time-consuming, so you may prefer to hire a pro to do this for you.

If you need to make curved cuts on your laminate countertop, get out the jigsaw. A jigsaw with a fine blade will allow you to follow curved traced lines. It is important to cut slowly and to let the jigsaw do most of the work with you acting as a guide.
