"I cannot say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Andy and how thrilled I am with the finished result in my kitchen. I collected a number of recommendations from friends for other contractors, whom I met with - but, I am so glad I went with Andy. From the start, his communication was exceptional. He gave me a very realistic (and ultimately accurate) timeline and I always knew exactly who was going to be working in my house on what days. No surprises what-so-ever, and when there were some minor unexpected plumbing issues once he opened the walls, Andy set up a time to discuss options with me and presented me with multiple solutions depending on my preferences and budget. There are SO many decision to be made for a large project like this, and as a first time homeowner, I was a bit overwhelmed at first - but Andy did an incredible job guiding me to quality suppliers for materials and helping me through the process all along the way. I never hesitated to ask if I had a question and Andy always took the time to respond and explain things in a way I could understand. Andy did a lot of the work himself, but his sub-contractors were also superb. Despite the fact that my kitchen was completely torn up, the house stayed surprisingly clean, they always left the site in great condition at the end of the day and were very respectful of my time and space. Even though the job was completed a few months ago, Andy has stayed available to me as I have had one or two silly little questions come up - he's been quick to respond and make sure I am satisfied and have the information I need. Andy's pricing and estimate upfront was clear and straight-forward and again, no surprises or anything questionable on that. Very fair cost for the quality of work and professionalism. I will be doing additional work (bathroom remodeling) in the next few years and would not go with anyone else besides Andy & Scott's Home Renewal. Photos are taken from different angles - but it is the same kitchen :)"

"Great. Neil's crew did a fantastic job. They worked quickly and you could tell they were confident in their work. We had used DeWit Construction several years ago at another home (this was before the roofing section became it's own entity) to put on a new roof after damaged during high wind/hail storm and also to rebuild the underside of an upper deck which had not been correctly supported. We are already considering them for another project."

"We had Scott and team repair our concrete front stairs and install a handrail. We also had them install new baseboards and trim throughout our home along with new kitchen backsplash and a wood breakfast bar. We are so happy and pleased with the quality of the work and how it all turned out. Scott is very communicative and always quick to respond to any questions. We originally were scheduled for work to begin in December or January but when he found out we are expecting our first child in February he took it upon himself to speak to other project owners and was able to get us moved up to October. That is something you just don't see these days and was so incredibly kind. We will have Scott and team out for any future home projects we have and would highly recommend."

"We had a dishwasher leak in our kitchen and Dave was referred to us by a family friend. What we thought was going to be an easy fix Dave uncovered the fact that this had been happening for sometime. Also stated he had just done one exactly like this. Our house was built in the 60's so there was a little un levelness in our kitchen. So because we could only see a little spot in the basement. Did not mean that the water had traveled all the way across our whole kitchen and was stuck in between multiple layers of flooring growing mold that we could not see. YUCK.
Dave advised us to contact our insurance company and there adjuster and that he would like to personally meet him here at our home.
Dave's recommendation was that the entire kitchen flooring ,plywood, and all of our cabinetry would have to be removed to open up the areas that had the mold to be able to remove it.
At first we were scared thinking Isn't there another way. An easier way of which there was not.
Dave met with our adjuster and to our surprise the adjuster agreed with Dave. Dave uses the same software as our insurance company does to write a claim so he even wrote the whole claim for the adjuster.
My next worry was that ahh great I have a $1,200 deductible that I am going to have to pay. Dave payed the deductible and we were ecstatic.
From the time of demolition start to the last day Dave was amazing. He went to Lowes with us at night to pick out all of our cabinetry,counter tops,floors,trim,paint, everything. We really appreciated that as our house was older and we knew Dave was more educated in the new modern touch's we wanted to bring into our new kitchen.
We went from old Oak cabinets to a beautiful dark mahogany that just has a wow factor. New double deep stainless steal sink that we just love with a touch controlled faucet.
We put linoleum back down as it was what we had and between us all we agreed that a new tile/ stone look would accentuate our new cabinets perfectly and it does.
There was an ordering issue with our flooring that pushed us back a week that we were not extremely excited about because we were still living in our home and it's just stressful having everything being re-done is just a lot .Either a technical error/ salesmen error Dave says what can I do to make you guy's happy i'm extremely sorry about the delay? Before we could say hey stuff happens no biggie he say's how's about I put new carpet in your living room this week while we are waiting on the linoleum out my my pocket? We both said no Dave you don't have to do that of which he refused and stated the carpet was old and he wanted from the front door to the kitchen brand new before he was gone and sure enough it was.

Dave is grateful guy that cares . He has a great bunch of men that work for him that also care.
. When you ask about his job site foreman you'll be in for a laugh because it is him."

"Des Moines Area Roofing was professional, trustworthy, and demonstrated excellent attention to detail from initial contact to job completion. Cleanup was so thorough that the next day you wouldn't even know that such a major project had taken place. It has been 2 weeks since the new roofs and we haven't seen even one stray nail left behind (and they did a complete tear down to both buildings, right down to the wood). An excellent company with which to do business. I offer my highest possible recommendation."

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in Altoona, IA

In many cases, it’s much less expensive to convert a bus than to buy an RV, especially if you’re considering a newer RV model, which can exceed $100,000.

Another huge benefit of school bus conversion is that you are in control of the renovation project. You get to pick your camper's new layout and all the appliances and furniture.

While school buses can easily cost $300,000 when they're new, you can often find used buses for just a few thousand dollars. These vehicles experience extreme depreciation due to government regulations; they can only be used for so long before they must be replaced. Due to those same regulations, other government agencies cannot purchase them for their own uses, so the consumer market is the only place they can go.

The length of time it takes to convert a bus depends on the scope of the project (and size of the bus), how much work is DIY vs. done by a professional contractor, and how much work you’re doing up front.

In general, expect at least a couple of months for a conversion, but larger conversions could take six months to a year. Remember: You can tackle projects as you go: Get the basic work done so that it’s livable, and then continue to enhance your living space over time.
