General Contractors Near Grinnell

“High quality work, reasonable cost, integrity and honesty... a rare combination to find in a contractor but certainly describes J & G Builders. We have used them on several occasions and have been thoroughly impressed each time. When we need a project completed, Jason is now our first and only call.”

“I contracted with James Otis to remodel the main level bathroom and add a new bathroom and closet on the 2nd floor of my 1930s home. James is a knowledgeable, meticulous, conscientious, and hard- working one-man construction company. This was my first experience with a major remodeling project. Being a “word of mouth” contractor, James understood this. He developed a separate written proposal which included an itemization of material and labor cost estimate for each of the main level and upper level bathrooms. James provided the necessary insurance papers. James made every effort to work within the initial budget providing suggestions/recommendations on quality fixtures and other materials. His suggestions also included having blown-in cellulose insulation to increase energy efficiency which was completed through a Mid-American Energy approved contractor. James was always present when sub-contractors worked on electrical, plumbing, insulation, and other additions. Electrical wiring in the basement was fixed (a previous contractor or DIY bad quality work). James would not proceed with the project until he got an electrical, plumbing, and general inspector approval. James worked through the cold winter including weekends to ensure the project progressed and was completed on time as proposed. I could not have been more satisfied with the finished projects. Both bathrooms have been well used this summer. The closet area has added a much-needed storage space. An unusable attic on the upper level is now converted into a functional bathroom/closet. I highly recommend James for a remodeling/addition project to your home. I look forward to working with James on other remodeling projects.”

“I chose Aaron Thiel of Leiht Restoration to do several projects in my large walk out ranch home because in my opinion he is the most reliable and innovative contractor in central Iowa. He is extremely intelligent, conscientious, timely and considerate while working in your home. He takes many precautions such as noise barriers, dust barriers, and daily clean-up to make what might be an unpleasant project a pleasant experience. My first project involved removing a wall in my dining room and installing oak floor in the dining room, guest bedroom and foyer area. The floor is layed perfectly and he did such a good job of repairing the existing wall, one cannot even tell where the old wall existed. We next remodeled my guest bath and added a whirlpool tub, heated tile floor, and added some needed insulation. It turned the bath from an antiquated 70's bath to one envied by all who see it. On my lower level he placed wood flooring on the concrete floor and replaced the popcorn ceilings with beautifully done flat ceilings. A large deck was built on the back of the house off the first floor family room with a permanent concrete table for 6 and a concrete bar. It is so well built I have no qualms about entertaining many guests out there. The last project was remodeling my master bedroom suite. Aaron was very innovating in designing an area off my bedroom to incorporate a new round open shower. The space taken from the master bedroom has never been missed. He was able to completely open the space by removing all the walls that made it so compartmentalized and turn the space into a bathroom for today.”
