At David J. Soukup Construction, Inc., we sustain our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We strongly believe in giving our absolute best in all of our projects. We are experts in our trade, and will always keep you educated on your particular task or project. Call today! Dave was the winner of the Ames Home Builders Association Parade of Homes in 2004! Dave comes from three generations of home builders and has over 50+ years of experience.

"I hired Dave to replace our front entry door and storm door. Day was very reluctant to give me a quote for the work upfront and writing and I learned out why. He insisted on picking the door up from Menards and he installed the door. When I got home, the door was installed and he then told me that it was damaged. He did not call me to let me know that it was damaged and asked my opinion on what I would like to do. He just installed it. That has created a problem with Menards getting any warranty on the door since it was installed. He also chipped our brand new lock set when he installed it and refused to do anything about it. He did not fill any of the installation screws with putty and the door barely latches due to the gap between the door and the frame. I would not hire this guy to put a door on my dog dog house be warned do not hire this guy. He is a ripoff. He also requires you to give any and all rebates for the products back to him, which was an additional $500 in this case."

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. "

"To keep things brief: the work wasn?t good and I?ve had to fix probably half of the work performed myself after the job was ?finished.? Multiple issues with the entire project. Most of which just felt like a rushed job with a ton of corner cutting and no attention to quality. I?m not usually a negative reviewer, but I?ve had a lot of friends and family tell me that this is not an acceptable level of quality for what I paid. I feel like I need to be honest about that in this case. Nice enough guy and I wish him the best. But I sadly can?t recommend. "

Door Repair questions, answered by experts

If you recently tightened screws to fix a loose doorknob, the issue is likely that you over tightened them. Doing so binds the turning mechanism, which will prevent your doorknob from bouncing back when you turn and release it. To fix this problem, loosen the mounting screws just a little so that the knob bounces back as expected but doesn’t wiggle. If this doesn’t fix the issue, try loosening the knob, centering it in the boring hole, and then tightening it.

Yes, WD-40 is good for fixing squeaky doors. As WD-40 is a lubricant product made by blending multiple types of lubricants. WD-40 also helps remove and resist rust which in turn helps prevent doors from becoming squeaky. Additionally the product comes equipped with a flexible straw that helps you get in tight places, like door hinges.

Paint does nothing to minimize the spread of wood rot, so painting an infected door isn’t a good use of your time. Repairs or replacements are still necessary. Otherwise, the rot will continue to spread. Wait until after handling the rot problem before whipping out the paintbrush.

There are a few ways to make your storm door less drafty. For example, if the bottom of your storm door is letting in air, you can lower the door sweep so there’s a smaller gap between your door and the floor. You can also install weatherstripping or apply caulk around the door frame.

The cost of door repair is $235 on average but can range from $50 to $685 or more. Cost factors like the door type, door material, the amount of damage, and your geographic location all play an important role in the project price. 

Exterior doors, like solid wood or steel doors, tend to cost more to repair, ranging from $350 to $1,050 on average. Interior doors tend to be hollow and, therefore, less costly to repair. You can expect an interior door to cost between $350 and $650 to repair.
