They were prompt and responsive to questions. I recommend ACR highly. **★★★★★ — terridermody, March 2016** > ACR construction, owned by Andre Drost, was highly recommended to me by a long-time friend and well-respected interior designer > > Andre is a very experienced contractor with a long resume of varied and complex projects. He has taught his team well, and keeps a tight handle on quality control. He makes good use of his smarts, creativity and skills in any situation that requires it, and I saw that first hand with my project. Because of my existing plumbing in my older home, and the required changes to move plumbing fixtures, I knew that the appearance of another wall area in an adjacent room would be compromised because of my inability to purchase the same wall material. Andre came up with a brilliant solution, and it looks great! His “can do attitude” may be his best asset! > > During the original project, I added other painting and drywall projects, bi-fold door re-do’s, etc, that I had put off for a long time. Andre was able to give me a detailed estimate and get the projects done beyond my expectations. > > Professionalism, high quality workmanship, attention to detail, resourcefulness, and complete follow through are the norm with Andre and his team. And knowing that any subcontractors that ACR Construction uses have to meet Andre’s standards, gave me complete confidence in each of them. > > To sum it up, my project is a good story with a happy ending, and I highly recommend ACR Construction! **★★★★★ — jczerwonke, Feb. 2016** > We hired ACR Construction, Inc. to add crown molding with a picture mold to our Master Suite. Andre and his team completed a similar project for us on our four season porch a couple years ago. Andre stopped by and bid the project shortly after we made the request for bid. (RFB) After the initial bid, we ask Andre to add a beam to the project - as his team did on the four season porch. > The project was started and finished as promised! Andre and his team are professional. The team members showed up on time, worked diligently, were mindful of the pets, cleaned up after themselves and were very professional. If they had a question they asked. If I had a question, they answered. We would recommend Andre and his team to anyone who inquired. And, we will projects in the future that ACR Construction will get first chance at 'getting the work'. > THANKS to Andre and his team of professionals!!! **★★★★★ — jkavan, Feb. 2016** > The experience I had working with ACR construction was exceptional. Andre and his team are a great group of people to work with – they have hold themselves to a high standard of excellence, and delivered a remodel that was better than I ever thought it could be – I love the work they did! I can’t wait to work on another project with them. **★★★★★ — terlouws, Jan. 2016** > ACR Construction did a kitchen add-on and full remodel. I couldn't say enough good things about the process and the results. I live in a 1924 Tudor and had strong reservations about increasing the footprint. I didn't want it to look like a tacked-on box but I also needed additional kitchen space. We spent as much time on the exterior design as the interior. The attention to detail and craftsmanship on the exterior actually enhances the original design. > > The interior is as functional as it is beautiful. Again, I wanted to complement the 1924 structure. I needed wood floors that tied to the original floors throughout the house. I needed modern appliances and convenience but not modern finishes. > > I did a full kitchen gut and there is nothing convenient about the process but I came home each night to a cleaned up construction site that made the process a little easier. In the end, I got a beautiful enlarged kitchen that was delivered on time and budget. Andre was great to work with. **Comment from ACR Construction:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! It's been a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — cwknowname, Dec. 2015** > André Drost of ACR Construction was one of three contractors that responded, viewed the house, and submitted a written bid proposal for extensive remodeling of our home. We chose ACR based on the detail André put in his written proposal, on the total cost, and on a proposed schedule that would meet our targeted completion date. Once work started, André coordinated the various parts of our remodel and directed his team very well. He performed certain detailed construction tasks himself, devising solutions to "quirks" that developed at times. He listened to our requests for certain changes and extras during construction. He worked very well with us to fit in and complete these changes. He and his team fixed any discrepancies and errors found during the project. ACR Construction finished their work including changes on time. The total cost ended within the proposed budget, as revised by extras we had requested. André and his team met our expectations with their strong attention to detail. We would not hesitate to whole-heartedly recommend ACR Construction to others, especially anyone who wants quality work and attention to your needs. > > > > Jo and Cliff K. **Comment from ACR Construction:** > Thank you both! It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — teachout\_david, Dec. 2015** > Complete remodel of the kitchen which included the removal of walls. Installation of new kitchen appliances. New floors throughout condo and painting of walls and ceilings. Absolutely wonderful job from beginning to end and the highest quality in workmanship. I would hire no one other than ACR Construction! **★★★★★ — writchie2, Dec. 2015** > We had the privilege of using ACR construction to enclose a screened-in porch into a year-around living space. We were extremely pleased with the process and the result. We especially appreciated the workmanship and attention to detail that Andre and his crew exhibited. From beginning to end the project moved along as quickly and smoothly as promised, coming in on budget and on time. ## Selected projects - [Organic Linseed Oil Paint - Mitchelville, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/organic-linseed-oil-paint-mitchelville-ia-pj-vj~1472541) - Location: Mitchellville, IA - Photos: 6 - Description: This is one of three projects we have done for this client. They keep asking us back because clearly they like our work and they like working with us. Simply put, they trust us. The exterior of this very large and beautiful home along with the gazebo is cedar siding. We wanted to use a quality product to protect and beautify this home so we chose organic linseed oil and linseed oil paint. Most conventional paints are forms of liquid plastics. Once applied the plastic barrier traps in moisture ro… - [Whole House Remodel - Urbandale, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whole-house-remodel-urbandale-ia-pj-vj~1470689) - Location: Urbandale, IA - Photos: 14 - Description: These homeowners got a whole new house without ever having to move. We gutted and redid the kitchen, living room, dining room, powder room, guest bath and master bath. We added new solid wood doors to all the rooms on two floors, new stair banister, installed a new thermador gas fireplace and mantle, new hardwoods throughout the main floor, new carpet on the second floor and lots of new paint. - [Master Bath - Johnston, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-johnston-ia-pj-vj~1654220) - Location: Johnston, IA - Photos: 10 - Description: For this project we completely tore out all the old bathroom and reconfigured the layout with new framing. This provided more space and allowed us to create a bathroom suite complete with separate toilet room and a spacious walk in closet. We think the end result is quite stunning and so did the homeowner. - [Addition & Kitchen Expansion - South of Grand, Des Moines, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/addition-and-kitchen-expansion-south-of-grand-des-moines-ia-pj-vj~1471801) - Location: Des Moines, IA - Photos: 12 - Description: This 1924 Tudor needed a larger kitchen which required creating a bump-out addition to the back. As you can see we made the addition match so well with the rest of the house you might think it was original. And the kitchen turned out pretty nice too! We matched all the new wood trim to the existing trim in the house and we were even able to match the brick tile of the back entry to existing brick tile in front of the fireplace. - [Master Bath Suite - Clive, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-suite-clive-ia-pj-vj~1658407) - Location: Clive, IA - Photos: 9 - Description: This master bath suite got a complete update with all new cabinets, plumbing fixtures, bathtub, tile flooring, tiled shower with sliding glass door, new wall color, all new wood trim on the casing and base, repainted doors with new hardware, and newly painted and recarpeted walk in closet. The master bedroom also got upgraded with new trim, paint, door hardware and carpet. - [Ceiling Retexture - Mitchelville, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ceiling-retexture-mitchelville-ia-pj-vj~1473636) - Location: Mitchellville, IA - Photos: 3 - Description: This is one of three projects we have done for this client. They keep asking us back because clearly they like our work and they like working with us. Simply put, they trust us. Popcorn texture on the ceiling seems very much to have fallen out of favor with most homeowners and now we spend time removing it instead of applying it. This room's ceilings posed a challenge since they are so tall. We carefully removed the old texture and put a flat finish coat and new paint. It was well worth the effo… - [3 Baths & 2 Kitchens - Grand Ave., Des Moines, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3-baths-and-2-kitchens-grand-ave-des-moines-ia-pj-vj~1472662) - Location: Des Moines, IA - Photos: 18 - Description: These two adjoining condo units were owned by one couple who had previously used us to remodel one of the kitchens and one of the baths. They liked it so much that they had us come back and do the other kitchen, a master bath and a guest bath. Soon after completion the couple put both units on the market and they both sold within a few days. The new buyers obviously liked what they saw. - [A Room For All Seasons - South of Des Moines, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-room-for-all-seasons-south-of-des-moines-ia-pj-vj~1556127) - Location: Des Moines, IA - Photos: 3 - Description: For this project we took the screened in three season room and replaced seven large screened openings and a half-round opening with Marvin Windows and installed a new exterior Marvin Door for the entry from the deck. We filled in two screen sections with wall and sided the exterior to match the existing on the house so a mini heat pump system could be installed on that portion of wall. All of the interior finishes were removed. Wiring was added for additional outlets and lights and switches. The… - [Basement Finish](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-finish-pj-vj~2041709) - Location: Des Moines, IA - Photos: 12 - [Master Bath and Bedroom - Mitchelville, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-and-bedroom-mitchelville-ia-pj-vj~1472950) - Location: Mitchellville, IA - Photos: 11 - Description: This is one of three projects we have done for this client. They keep asking us back because clearly they like our work and they like working with us. Simply put, they trust us. For this project the homeowner wanted a wood paneled ceiling in the bedroom to match their existing wood furniture. We also added a fireplace. The spacious bathroom includes heated tile floor, heated towel bars, a television embedded in the vanity mirror, a sauna inside the shower, and no less than 9 shower heads includi… - [Kitchen Upgrade - Clive, IA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-upgrade-clive-ia-pj-vj~904061) - Location: Clive, IA - Photos: 17 - Description: This was a nice standard kitchen in a home on the westside of town but the homeowners wanted more space and an updated kitchen because they like to spend time preparing things. We removed all of the cabinets and appliances, except the refrigerator, the wood floor, bulkheads, and large fluorescent ceiling light. Electrical was rerouted to accommodate location changes and additions. Drywall was repaired and patched in. New cabinets were installed as well as new wood floor. The cabinets were finish… [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-remodelers/acr-construction-pfvwus-pf~689251167) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
