What we build
Residential construction in and around Iowa City: new homes from the footings up, and the additions and renovations that make an existing house the right one.
01 / Service
New custom homes
Your lot, your plan, one builder accountable for all of it.
We build from your architect's drawings or help you get a plan drawn that fits your lot and your budget. From excavation and foundation through framing, mechanicals, insulation, drywall, finishes and final grading, we schedule and manage every trade.
Included
- Site prep & foundation
- Framing & roof
- Windows, doors & siding
- Mechanical, electrical, plumbing coordination
- Interior finishes
- Final walkthrough
Suits — Owners with a lot and a plan
Good to knowStart the conversation before the plan is final. It's cheaper to change a line on paper than a wall on site.
02 / Service
Additions
More room, same address.
Bedrooms, family rooms, primary suites and second stories tied properly into the house you have. That means a matched foundation, a tied-in roofline, and siding and trim that make the addition look like it was always there.
Included
- Design coordination
- Foundation & tie-in
- Framing & roofing
- Exterior match
- Interior finish
- Systems extended
Suits — Families who love the street
Good to knowWe plan the messy part, opening up the old house, so you can keep living in it.
03 / Service
Whole-home renovations
Rework the house once, as a whole.
Kitchens, baths, layouts and the systems behind the walls, planned together so the work happens in the right order. Walls get opened once and closed once, and the house comes back better than new.
Included
- Layout changes
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms
- Flooring & trim
- Systems upgrades
- Insulation & windows
Suits — Older Iowa City homes
Good to knowOlder Iowa City houses hide surprises. Our scope says how we handle them before they're found.
04 / Service
Lower
levels
Finish the floor you already own.
Basements finished as real rooms: framing, egress windows, insulation, a warm, dry floor, drywall and trim. They become family rooms, guest suites, offices and storage that work.
Included
- Moisture review
- Framing & insulation
- Egress
- Drywall & trim
- Flooring
- Lighting
Suits — Space you already own
Good to knowWe look at water first. A finished basement is only as good as the dry wall behind it.
05 / Service
Garages & outbuildings
Square on a proper slab.
Detached garages, workshops and outbuildings sized for how you'll use them. A slab poured right, framing built for snow load and wind, and doors and power where you need them.
Included
- Slab & footings
- Framing & roof
- Overhead & entry doors
- Siding & trim
- Electrical coordination
Suits — Work, storage, hobbies
Good to knowTell us what's going in it, whether trucks, a workbench or equipment, and we'll size it from there.
Not sure what you need?
Start with a site walk.
Tell us about the lot or the house and what you have in mind. We'll reply to set up a site walk, and the written scope starts from there.
