What We Offer

Construction & Remodeling Services

We handle flooring, decks, cabinets, painting, countertops, full remodels, and more — serving Altoona, Iowa and the greater Des Moines area.

Flooring Installation

Hardwood · LVP · Laminate · Tile — Altoona & Des Moines, Iowa

New floors are one of the fastest ways to change how a room looks and feels. We've installed flooring in all kinds of homes — older houses with unlevel subfloors, new builds, full renovations. We take the time to do the prep right, because that's what makes the difference between floors that look good for 10 years and ones that start buckling after two. We work with hardwood, LVP, laminate, tile, and more. We'll give you an honest recommendation on what makes sense for your space and how you use it.

Deck Building

Custom Decks · Raised & Ground Level · Des Moines Metro

We've built decks from simple ground-level platforms to raised, multi-level structures with stairs, railings, and enclosed skirting. Iowa weather is hard on outdoor structures — freeze-thaw cycles, wet springs, hot summers. We build decks that hold up to it. Tim handles everything from footings and framing to the finished surface and railing system. We work with pressure-treated lumber and composite decking options, and we'll help you figure out what makes the most sense for your yard and your budget.

  • Deck additions to existing structures

Cabinet Installation

Kitchen & Bathroom Cabinets — Iowa Homes

Cabinet installation sounds straightforward, but there's a lot that can go wrong — walls that aren't plumb, floors that aren't level, gaps that don't match up right. We've done enough of these to know where the problems usually hide, and we deal with them properly instead of just covering them up. Whether you bought stock cabinets from the hardware store or went with semi-custom, we get them in level, square, and solid. We handle crown molding, hardware, and all the trim details too.

What's Included

  • Full kitchen cabinet installation
  • Bathroom vanity and storage installation
  • Cabinet removal and haul-away
  • Leveling, shimming, and secure mounting
  • Crown molding and decorative trim
  • Hardware installation (handles, hinges, soft-close)
  • Pantry and laundry room cabinet systems

Interior & Exterior Painting

Homes & Light Commercial — Altoona, Iowa

We prep before we paint — that's the part a lot of painters skip. We fill holes, sand rough spots, tape edges carefully, and prime when needed. It takes longer, but it's the difference between a finish that lasts and one that starts peeling or looking patchy in a year. We do interior rooms, ceilings, trim, doors, and exterior siding. We also put your things back when we're done — we don't leave a job looking like a construction zone.

What's Included

  • Interior walls, ceilings, and trim
  • Exterior siding, trim, fascia, and soffits
  • Door and window casing painting
  • Thorough prep: patching, sanding, priming
  • Accent walls and specialty finishes
  • Light commercial interior painting
  • Color consultation available

Countertop Installation

Granite · Quartz · Laminate · Butcher Block — Iowa Kitchens & Baths

Countertops are one of those things where the measurement and the cut either look right or they don't — there's not much in between. We take our time on templating and fit. We work with granite, quartz, laminate, and butcher block. We handle the sink cutouts, seal the joints, and caulk the edges clean. If you're pairing new countertops with a backsplash tile, we can handle that too.

  • Granite and natural stone installation
  • Quartz countertop installation
  • Laminate countertop replacement
  • Butcher block installation and sealing
  • Undermount and drop-in sink cutouts
  • Backsplash tile installation
