  I ordered a few handmade pieces of furniture ( coffee table and end tables ) as well as engraved and carved signs, the craftsmanship of everything was AMAZING! Everything was done with such skill. Everything was reasonably priced. I will definitely be ordering more stuff

  It took a little longer than quoted, but that was due to needing a beam and me changing some things. They were very professional, and very communicative. They worked well with us as we were living here while renovating

  The workers were competent, skilled, respectful and kind, and the remodeling project was completed in a professional manner. On the surface, it sounds simple to move appliances from the basement to a first floor location, but it required permits, planning, and careful execution. When looking into the ventilation for the dryer, the workers discovered that work completed years ago by another contractor was done improperly. Bathroom vents were not vented to the outside and were instead vented directly into the space above the ceiling. They addressed this problem and other complications that arose with honesty, and Judd Penny was transparent about the status of the project throughout the project life cycle. If I needed remodeling completed - big or small projects - I would not hesitate to again work with Mid States Carpenters and Judd Penny. I was thrilled with the results and so were my elderly parents

  I needed to replace a rotted deck on my home. I elected to go with composite materials for longer life. I received bids from two other deck companies, but Better Builders was the most competitive. They answered my questions on materials, gave me a couple options, offered a bid I could afford, and got to the work quickly. The work was very good quality. I was altogether pleased with their service

  The project was finished, pretty much on schedule. I was told when the workers would arrive, what work would be done, and at the end of each day, the work area was cleaned up. If I had any questions, they were immediately answered and any issues were always resolved to my satisfaction. Jesse has a good work ethic. His work is high quality, he's reliable, honest, has a positive attitude, and hires quality subcontractors. I am so happy with my new kitchen and would highly recommend Bryngelson Builders for any home remodel

  The basement remodel went well and we are very pleased with the work that Tim and his team completed. On the whole, Tim provided a good price, high-quality work, and was responsive and professional throughout the project. The punctuality of the work was only fair, however. To be fair, this was more typical of the sub-contractors Tim used and not him directly. We consistently had to contact Tim to see when the electrician and the drywall installer were, since they often did not show up at the appointed time. The price we paid for the whole project was $16,000. This price was $3-5,000 less than we were quoted from two other estimates we received. The $16,000 includes several (mostly minor) changes we made as the remodel was being completed (double closet door instead of single, etc). The only issue I had with the price was that the electrician that Tim used seemed to charge far too much ($3,300). I won’t pretend to know exactly the going rate for what he did, but it sure seems like we should have been able to save hundreds of dollars here with a different electrician. I expressed these concerns to Tim during the project and he said he would do his best to keep costs down, because he seemed to think it was high as well. On the whole, we were very happy with the overall cost of the remodel, but next time I will certainly be asking for a couple of bids on the electrical side. The work was high quality. The basement looks very nice and everything flows together well. We went through the work that was completed most nights and when we pointed out things that needed fixing, Tim made sure it was done. It’s been six months since everything was completed and everything is holding up well. I did notice that the can lights in the basement loosen a bit when our kids are jumping around on the main floor (and need to be pushed back in ¼”), but I don’t think that’s much of an issue. Tim’s responsiveness was good throughout the project. He usually answered our phone calls and when we left voicemails they were returned in a reasonable amount of time. As mentioned above, he followed up on issues we pointed out in a timely manner. When we had questions about a sub-contractor timeliness or work product, he addressed it directly with them. The punctuality was fair. Tim and his direct employee generally arrived close to the stated time, but the sub-contractors were often later than they stated, sometimes as late as several hours. With young kids needing naps (and the loud/inconsistent noises from construction), it would have been much appreciated to have people show up at or near the appointed time, which simply didn’t consistently happen. For his part, when we called Tim he reached out to the sub-contractors right away and typically responded to us quickly with a correct, updated time. Still, a C is a fair rating on the whole. Tim’s professionalism throughout the project was very good. He never came off as rushed and took the time to listen to our questions and comments. He always kept the price within reason and did a good job of explaining out the cost of any changes we had. He would call from a hardware store to ask about the color/style of something if he wasn’t sure. He treated us with respect and it was clear that he wanted us to be happy with the job. Lisa, his wife and main office contact, was very friendly and got me information I requested quickly and efficiently. High marks here

  Roof Iowa was in and done in one day. A very well coordinated team of hard workers stripped the old shingles, put down new and cleaned up in about 8 hours for both the house and garage. They were courteous and professional. Jon at Roof Iowa also installed new gutters and leaf guards for us as well as took down the old satelite dish. Most importantly he worked within the budget of the insurance estimates for the hail damage. We appreciated that very much

  After having a few negative experiences with contractors, what a surprise to work with a company that seems to do everything well. Albert came out to my house to give an estimate and I was sold almost immediately. Albert told me about my current shingles and that there had been a class action lawsuit. He offered to help me if I wanted to go after the company and then proceeded to tell me that I could probably get by for a couple of years if I wanted to go that route. I was so impressed with his knowledge and honesty that I decided to just pull the trigger and have them replaced. Albert told me that it would take three days. The first day there were 30mph winds so it wasn't safe for the crew to start work. Albert kept me in the loop and said they would start the next day. The job ended up taking two days including cleanup. The crew probably spent 3 hours cleaning up and left the yard looking better than when they arrived. Albert then followed up and spent an hour or so checking on their work and also doing another pass of cleaning up the nails. Replacing a roof is expensive and not an exciting way to spend your money but Action Roofing did a great job and I would highly recommend using them for roofing issues

  We built our dream home in 1983 and raised our four children in it. Like nine people out of ten in America, we want to live out the rest of our years in our home. Having preemptively purchased long term care insurance to help pay for future in-home medical and support services, we also understood the need to remodel a portion of our multi-level home so that we could live on one floor, when future personal mobility issues would become a factor in our daily living routines. We visited with a number of remodeling contractors at several home shows and chose Red House Remodeling (RHR). Located in Valley Junction in West Des Moines, Iowa, they are a small company of five highly competent individuals that take pride in doing great work and experience a sense of accomplishment from making positive changes in the lives of their customers. Ben, as the contractor, is an honest and direct communicator. He is a systemic thinker, process driven, and highly organized, which mitigated hassles for us and allowed RHR to come in on budget. He was always willing to take the time necessary for us to understand the reasons for any pandemic related delays. COVID-19 has been a huge challenge, as supply chain disruptions have caused certain materials to be out of stock, creating delays in construction. Ben communicated these issues on a timely basis. Stephanie handles administration and marketing for the company. She was prompt and courteous in our requests for information. Jenna, using 3D software, helped us create and visualize the finished project months before the demolition and construction of our home actually began. She paid close attention to our wish list while providing a young professional’s perspective on what it would take to modernize our home. She provided attractive “Plan B” alternatives when COVID related delays forced us to look for different materials to install Chris and Troy are highly skilled construction professionals, that excel in doing quality work in an efficient manner. RHR was a great fit for our project. They understand what is needed to make a home viable for aging in place. We were very comfortable working with them. Finally, for anyone considering home renovation, it’s important to be flexible and willing to tolerate disruption when living in your house during the construction process. We found that the beautiful finished product was well worth the temporary inconvenience. Bill Taber & Susan Taber, Des Moines, Iow
