Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Kellogg, IA

"My goal was to get my Mom's home repaired as quickly as possible, and the Professional was able to do that today! I was very pleased with how well they listened to my concerns and needs. They went over and above to help me keep within my budget and the results were excellent! Thank you Hixson Contracting, your team was very courteous and professional. I highly recommend this Professional team!"

"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."

"esInitially it started out well but as is typical in this industry, things start to fall off.  He is able to do most phases of construction but prefers trimwork.  The scope of work that we had didn't fit where he wanted to be.  If it was a single job that he was being hired for, I think he would be good.  He did good work but we do a lot of custom stuff and that throws our subs off sometimes.  Super nice guy and I felt that he was trustworthy. <br />"

We are a General contracting company. We perform all services involved in the completion of unfinished space. We do hire sub contractors when needed. We also stand by their work as well. Though we have only been in buisness for a short time. we have a combined 37 years construction experience.

"Excellent service, both in advance and on the job. The finished product continues to look and work great. It was nice working with well-established local company with ties to the community. I also had Dudley Brothers do some roofing repairs in the fall, and they're coming back for some follow-up repairs to a skylight this spring."

"Des Moines, you will be shocked but there is an honest contractor working in the area. <br /> Rick spent two hours in my home just to give me an estimate.    He not only diagnosed the <br /> problem with the subfloor and underlayment, he also showed me other problems in <br /> my home.    It was amazing how much he could tell about my house by just walking through it.  If I ever sell this house and buy another, I will hire Rick to inspect the new home long before signing any purchase <br /> documents.    Rick is much more knowledgeable than any home inspector I have ever hired in my life, and I have <br /> hired several.   He is honest and not in the pocket of any homebuilder in the area. <br /> Rick gave me an estimate well under other estimates I had received and stood behind his estimate regardless of what he found when <br /> demolition began.   Unfortunately, the developer of this house, Jerry?s Homes of Des Moines, had done such an <br /> unprofessional job the demotion turned out to be a project that had to include use of a jack hammer to get the out underlayment out.    He corrected the structural problems, which included leveling out some flooring and fixing a place where the developer had <br /> not attached the subfloor to the joists.   I estimate that he saved me at least $6,000 over the next closest <br /> bidder. <br /> Although I had assumed that the new tiles would be placed in the standard straight-line way, he took the time to go to the tile store and show me other possibilities for my floor.   He turned a drab floor into something I will be proud of for years.    Although there were additional costs for the special layout, he was reasonable and I am so glad he had the design capabilities to make my floor look outstanding.     <br /> He took the time to do everything right; making sure the underlayment actually strengthened the subfloor that will prevent future <br /> fractures and repaired the other developer defects.     It was so fantastic to find an honest, Christian contractor who I could trust without question.    He never cut corners in making sure this job was done right.    He cares about the customer?s happiness with the finished product and has amazing design ideas.    He is a contractor who wanted me to be to be happier with the finished product than I would have dreamed.    <br /> Although I wish the project could have been done faster, I knew that I was working with a craftsman not just a contractor.   It is shameful, but finding a true craftsman is a Godsend.   He knew I was a disabled veteran with limited resources, and he made sure to stay within the budget I had for this project.  He was not just here for just the paycheck; he was here to give me the most value for my <br /> money.    That is so extremely rare these days.   <br /> He not only did the flooring work I asked for, he fixed a doorknob, installed a new ceiling chandelier, and fixed some very poor <br /> woodworking done by the developer.   He wanted my home to be right.    His ideas are fantastic and as I can accumulate the funds, I will follow his lead because I cannot find a reason to disagree with his sense of style or functionality. <br /> I would recommend him to anyone in the Des Moines area and already have; he is the best I have ever worked with in my life.   I am including pictures of his work, I am proud to show these to the world.    He has made my house both increased in value and shortened resale time, which was not may goal, but made it a house that I can live in and take such great pride <br /> I live in such a home.   My neighbors are drooling over the project and I am sure I am making a few husbands angry in my <br /> neighborhood.    I know giving him this review on Angie?s list is great; I will be giving his name to anyone who has <br /> any home improvement needs.    I can recommend him without reservation.   I have projects that will take some time to save money for, but I already know whom my contractor will be.    He will be the one to update my baths and change my shower from plastic to beautiful tile.     He will be putting in an on demand water heater and utility sink in my shop.    I have jobs for him for years to come; as <br /> the funds are available he will be my craftsman.    <br /> Do not hesitate to call Rick if you have a problem or just want an upgrade.    He is the man for the job and will deliver more than you could imagine. <br />"

"It went very smooth. All i had to do was pick the paint and pay them. They took care of everything else!"

We have 3 employee's at the moment. Depending on size of job. Half is due upfront before work is started.

"We had an old back porch, approximately 5 feet by 5 feet. The windows were single pane and most were broke. No insulation. Not big enough to do much more than come in and unlock the back door to get into the kitchen. We had a vision for a porch that could be enlarged to accomodate our washer/dryer, new window, insulation, outside back entrance, new outside steps and be long enough to enclose our outside basement door by creating a walkway to a new outside basement door. Mike came over to do an estimate and carefully wrote down everything we mentioned. Within a couple weeks, he presented us with an estimate that captured all we said plus suggestions for the things that were needed that we had not considered due to our lack of construction knowledge. As soon as the weather broke in March, he and his crew came over when they said they would and tore off the back porch in a day. After the foundation was taken care of, they were back to construct the porch of our dreams. Cooperation between Mike and the concrete contractor, plumbing company, electrician and flooring people(all of which I will do reviews for) was marvelous. He was willing to work new ideas that we came up with as things went along. He took time to talk with us at the end of the day and we enjoyed his company very much. He and his crew were responsible, reliable, knowledgeable, fair and most of all, honest and trustworthy. What he said is what he did and more. Now we have our new outside steps and landing, a new back door, a beautiful room that is now 5+ feet by 15 feet, a great energy efficient window, total insulation floor to ceiling, storage spaces about the part that enclosed the basement walkway and storage underneath the porch accessible in the basement walkway and a new basement door, siding to match our garage, new screen doors and a new roof on the structure. He captured our vision!!! We have recommended Mike and his crew to many of our friends and will be contacting him in the future to side the rest of our house or for anything we need that he can assist with."
