Builders in Ames, IA

“The first project was a kitchen re-do including a six foot addition plus converting the basement into an apartment. The work was very high quality and improved the outside appearance of my house. His bid was comparable to others and I liked the fact he worked by himself (except for subcontractors) rather than a large crew. He always had a solution for any problem during the construction and the job was completed on schedule and within the budget. Since then he has been back at least six times for smaller projects. I did not bother to obtain other bids for any of them. I would highly recommend this contractor - which I have.”

“Did an outstanding job installing cabinets in my pantry. Showed up in time and was very professional. Would hire him again!”

“Teal Creek Homes gives the home buyer a lot of value for your money when purchasing a home they have built. They spend time on the details when building a home. We have had the pleasure of working with Teal Creek Homes consulting with them on interior design selections including cabinetry, flooring , tile design, and wall colors.

“They always do an excellent job! We have had them do many projects for us and have always been super happy. Great work, great service, and fair prices! I highly recommend Denali Builders for projects large and small!”

“When I have a client looking for a great remodeling contractor Zak is always on my list. He is a great member of the home building community in the Des Moines Area. He is honest & will give you the real numbers. He's easy to talk to & you won't regret your decision when you chose to go with him.”

“Bobbie and Monty stopped out several times during the short project checking on things, seeing progress, etc. They did an amazing job following through, making sure I was happy as a customer and helpful when it came to making decisions! After I tried to complete my bathroom floors myself with peel and stick vinyl, I had to call in the pros. I decided have tile put in. While there, we decided to do the backsplash in my kitchen. They were able to demo and install very quickly. They did such an amazing job!”

“I had this company help with parts of a basement reconstruction post water damage issues. They painstakenly disassembled a large cabinet in a family room as well as the cupboards in the laundry room. They then re designed parts of the cabinets to modernize and refinished and rebuilt as necessary. They did an excellent job!”

“Jason with J & G Builders has done several jobs for us including finishing our whole basement, remodeling our laundry room, tiling our bathrooms and installing a new front door. He is very knowledgeable about all types of jobs and if he doesn't know, he is not afraid to let you know that and he will seek expert knowledge from elsewhere. He is very trustworthy and does a great job cleaning up after himself each night after his work is done. I would highly recommend J & G Builders and plan to use them again in the future.”

“I contacted Chris Gardner at Bella Homes about building a custom home in the Ames area. He was very responsive despite being very busy. I described to him what I was looking for in a house and within a week he had a plan that incorporated all our key features. He made the changes we wanted done to the plan within a day. He did not ask for payment to be made before he worked with us, which was surprising as most builders require a design fee or make you sign an outrageous time and materials design agreement. He always responded to texts and phone calls within a short period of time. They are very busy so there will be times when they cannot address your issues as fast as you would think, but this is true of all builders. I think Bella Homes is actively trying to address this issue that all builders have. We also went shopping for selections with Kassie Knudson, the Bella Homes interior designer. She was very helpful. All this and Bella Homes did not ask us for anything (I paid him a design fee anyway). After sending our plan out for bid, we had problems with the lot we chose (not a Bella Homes lot) and decided to postpone building. Chris was understanding. Subsequently we found an existing house that was just like what we were trying to build, but for less money. Chris congratulated us and gave us the number of a contractor for us to add characteristic Bella Home features to this house (outside fireplace). Bella Homes designs and builds a high quality house that is also slick with many cool features. Your house will be unique.”
