Your Trusted Exterior Contractor in Johnston, Iowa

Johnston is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Des Moines metro, and that growth has created a specific pattern of contracting needs we see every week. A huge portion of Johnston homes were built between 2005 and 2020 — places in Tiffin Heights, along the NW 62nd Avenue corridor, and throughout the planned communities that popped up as the city expanded north and west. Many of these homes were sold with completely unfinished basements. The builder poured the foundation, stubbed in the plumbing, and left the rest as bare concrete. Basement finishing is our single most requested project in Johnston. We frame out bedrooms, family rooms, and home offices, then handle all the drywall, painting, and trim work to turn that empty shell into real living space.

Those same 2005-to-2020 Johnston homes also came with builder-grade interiors that look fine at first but wear out fast. Kitchen remodeling is the next big call we get here. Homeowners are ready to replace laminate countertops, swap out basic stock cabinets, and open up the layouts their builders designed to save money, not to make your life easier. Bathroom remodeling follows the same pattern — master baths with cheap vanities, plastic surrounds, and builder-basic tile that homeowners want replaced with something that actually feels like a finished space.

On the exterior side, homes that are 10 to 15 years old in Johnston are hitting an important milestone. Roofing installed in the late 2000s is due for its first real inspection, and in many cases it is already showing wear from Iowa hail storms and high winds. We inspect, repair, and replace roofs across Johnston. Siding is holding up a bit longer on these newer homes, but the original exterior paint is fading and peeling, especially on south-facing and west-facing walls that take the worst beating from sun and weather. Our painting crews handle exterior touch-ups and full repaints to keep Johnston homes looking sharp.

Gutters in Johnston need attention too. The original seamless gutters installed by builders often use lighter-gauge aluminum that dents in hail storms and pulls away from the fascia under heavy ice loads in winter. We replace them with heavier material and add gutter guards to cut down on the constant cleaning that Johnston homeowners deal with from all the new landscaping trees filling in around these neighborhoods. Concrete is another steady project here — driveways and sidewalks poured 10 to 15 years ago are already showing cracks from the Central Iowa freeze-thaw cycle, where water seeps in, freezes, and breaks the slab apart a little more every winter.

Over in the Beaver Creek area, the established neighborhoods have older homes with different needs — full roof replacements, siding upgrades, and interior refreshes including painting. Johnston is right next door to our Ankeny home base, so we are on-site fast, usually within the same day you call. We treat every Johnston project with the same attention we give our own neighbors.
