The leak had caused the sub-flooring in the affected room to rot and disintegrate. It was also discovered after pulling up the carpet that the builder had used a sub-standard sub-flooring material (MDF) in the entire basement. We decided it was best to completely replace it all since there were other affected areas of rotted sub-flooring in the basement. I later added a long list of other repairs to the contract to replace screen doors and a few other things around the house and garage. Gene Maire was great to work with and was patient with all the additional things I added to the list of repairs in my home. The work was complete way before my expectations, 2 months from first estimate, and was of good quality. They left the site clean. Each time I added something new to the repair list, he was very prompt with sending a revised and reasonable estimate for the work. I would highly recommend Iowa Home Restoration and Repair, Gene and his crew to anyone needing any kind of repairs on their home but especially if you have a basement water proofing issue in your home. Gene was honest in his assessment of the problems, kept me up to date and sent pictures of newly found issues. He was professional to work with. He instilled a sense of trust when I first met with him which is why I chose his company over a cheaper competitor."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/des-moines/iowa-home-restoration-and-repair%2C-llc-reviews-6217047.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Bloodhound Property Management","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Shawn B."},"reviewBody":"I was facing a tight deadline to get a number of repairs done before the date of closing. Marc came to my rescue doing most of the work himself but also coordinating the work of two subcontractors-a glass company and a mold remediation company. His ability to get the work done on time ensured that the sale of my house would go through as planned. When I moved into my new "old" house, he coordinated several repair jobs. For this last appointment, Marc came out with his assistant at the time of the appointment. The original light that I had purchased was broken so he returned it to Lowe's for me. He painted the bathroom on one day and the trim on the following day. He worked with his team to replace lights that were no longer working, build a fancy doggie door, install new door locks, and a new door leading to my garage. He is very personable and is a perfectionist. His prices are more than reasonable. If you hire Marc, you can relax, as he will work to ensure that the repair is done properly.

The house lacked weep holes in the brick front facing. The insulation in the crawl space was improperly installed requiring me to have to have another contractor reinstall the mold vapor shield. In several areas of the house, the plumbing was slanted backwards leading to drainage problems. When I brought the drainage problems to their attention a year ago, I was told that because I had the problem fixed on a weekend (due to its emergency nature), I had not gone through the proper channels. When I contacted them after the inspection report, they informed my realtor that they would do nothing to fix these problems. While the house has a nice design, a builder should stand behind their work and remedy clear construction defects. The company hands out thick promotional materials on their commitment to building quality but they don't honor their commitment when their work fails to live up to that quality. The lack of weep holes in particular is a clear problem dating back to the construction of the home. If you are considering buying an MI home, I would strongly recommend that you get a thorough home inspection prior to closing.

The wood used for this project came from century old trees - oak, white oak and ash - that had fallen during storms in our area. The fireplace stone was limestone from nearby Stone City. The team of professionals were a delight to work with - true artisans and perfectionists! They work closely together with the client throughout the entire process, making adjustments as desired.

The results are stunningly beautiful with a lovely story behind each project. It was a pleasure to work with such dedicated, creative and collaborative builders.

First we started with 6 contractors coming out to give us bids. Veldkamp construction was the only one to address the issue of a support beam in the attic if we take out the bearing wall. We chose Veldkamp. He brought out his subs to look over the site before he gave his bid so it was accurate. Once we started he kept us updated every day so we knew what was going to happen the next day or so. The subs came in and started working. We had a couple of small problems such as small leak in the roof where they took out a vent from the old kitchen. It rained and leaked. They were out that night to fix the roof, in the rain. the kitchen cabinets were ordered and arrive right on schedule. The plumber and electrian had everything ready to go well before the cabinets arrived. The subs built 2 walls to support the roof while the got ready to install the support beam into the attic. That an extra day to install due to the original construction of our house. They did a great job of installing the dry wall and matching the ceiling texture. My husband and I can tell were the old seams are but also know where they are. no one else can tell. the fireplace company was in and out doing their part. We did have them come back and make a change but that was done with out any incident. They also build a new laundry room in out garage so we also had to flip out garage doors around which was done quickly and the siding looks great. The laundry room works great. We also had veldkamp construction reuse our existing patio door and windows. All the other constractors didn't want to move out large 104 inch by 54 inch bay window. Veldkamp
took out the window and raised it so it would work great in the new kitchen. They never left out house open to the outside over night. We finally finished the project in Sept due the counter tops taking so long. It all looks great and out friends and family all are amazed out our new house "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/des-moines/veldkamp-construction-services-llc-reviews-2280679.htm"},"position":10}]}

At first we thought there was a leak in the foundation requiring basement water proofing. It turned out that there was a pipe leaking behind the wall in a basement room. After doing demolition on the first day of work, air scrubbers and dehumidifiers were setup in the basement and main floor...
Once building started it went pretty quickly. It took more than four months from signing the contract to completing the project. We were initially told that it would likely take about 4-6 weeks.

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Nevada, IA
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
