I am very pleased with their work, and with the outcome. Nice guys, easy to work with! **★★★★★ — Nick Coffelt, Nov. 2023** > Scott and his crew always do a great job and are concerned about their clients. Quality work and a reasonable price. **★★★★★ — Beth Thede, Nov. 2023** > Essence completed multiple jobs around my home, both fixing items done incorrectly by previous homeowner, and improvements I chose to complete. I received prompt responses, quick and straightforward bids with good pricing, and ease of scheduling services. Some items completed: deck; fence; landscaping- v-trench French drain; front door installation & trim; repair of wall drywall, ceiling cabinet replacement; managing plumbing and repairs from eroded pipe damage; bathtub & surround installation; tuckpointing and misc. other repairs. Essence is easy to contact and I always received quick replies with explanations of work and technical specs. **★★★★★ — petekorpi, Nov. 2023** > My wife and I were so fortunate to have connected with Scott and Essence Construction. We had just moved to Des Moines and had bought a house that turned out to have multiple structural issues. They were honest and fair about pricing , showed up every day and worked hard until the job was done. The timeline they gave at the start of the project was spot-on. We were very happy with the work they did and we would use them again in the future. ## Selected projects - [Room Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/room-addition-pj-vj~7323004) - Location: West Des Moines, IA - Photos: 37 - [Outdoor patio area](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-patio-area-pj-vj~7326808) - Location: West Des Moines, IA - Photos: 26 - [Composite Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/composite-deck-pj-vj~7321898) - Location: Waukee, IA - Photos: 33 - [Stamped concrete, cedar deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stamped-concrete-cedar-deck-pj-vj~7326817) - Location: Urbandale, IA - Photos: 15 - [house remodel II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-remodel-ii-pj-vj~7326784) - Location: Des Moines, IA - Photos: 47 - [Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7326575) - Location: Des Moines, IA - Photos: 35 - [house remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-remodel-pj-vj~7323080) - Location: Des Moines, IA - Photos: 42 [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/essence-construction-llc-pfvwus-pf~281697415) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
