Trim & Finish Work
Crown molding, baseboards, window casings, door trim, and wainscoting — the finishing details that make a home look polished and complete. We measure precisely, cut cleanly, and install trim that ties every room together. Trim work is available as a standalone service or as part of any remodel.
Home Additions

One Contractor for Your Entire Home
Most homeowners in Des Moines and Central Iowa end up hiring three, four, even five different contractors for a single remodel — one for drywall, another for flooring, someone else for trim, and a painter on top of that. Every handoff creates delays, miscommunication, and finger-pointing when something goes wrong.

- Consistent Quality: Our standards apply to every phase — drywall, flooring, trim, painting, and finishing. Nothing falls through the cracks.
- Cost Savings: Bundling services with one general contractor eliminates duplicate setup fees, reduces material waste, and keeps your total home remodeling cost lower.
- Accountability: If anything needs fixed, there is no question about who handles it. We own the entire project.
