    KRM Development, LLC
    New & Custom Home Builders in Ames
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 27, 2014
    “KRM Development came highly recommended from our architect. We were impressed from the very beginning when we met with the owner Kirk Michelson. He took the time to listen to what was important to us and was very knowledgeable about what materials to use, the costs, and the expert sub-contractors to get the job done right. Everyone we worked with from KRM Development, including their sub-contractors and suppliers were people of integrity. We were so pleased with the excellent craftsmanship that was put into every detail. Brandon, our foreman led the project with a high level of knowledge, experience and professionalism and he demanded perfection in the quality of work that was done. They all went above and beyond to create a beautiful home from top to bottom. We relied heavily on our project manager Audrey who was a pleasure to work with in finalizing all the design details of our home. She led us through the process with ease and made an overwhelming task manageable and enjoyable. Her knowledge and commitment to customer satisfaction was truly commendable. Our kitchen designer, Jenni did a wonderful job working with us to create a layout that was not only functional but very beautiful. Our overall experience with KRM Development was outstanding. It was an honor to work with such and outstanding group of people who became good friends throughout the project. We highly recommend them to anyone thinking of remodeling or building a home.”

    Integrity Construction
    New & Custom Home Builders in Ames
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 19, 2017
    “Integrity worked with us to renovate our farmhouse built in 1900. There were many hurdles to overcome in renovating such an old home but they helped us work through each one. They communicated well with us and worked hard to allow us to have as much (or little) input as we wanted. They managed the overall project and paid attention to all the little details. We are very happy with the finished product and they have stood behind their work. We would highly recommend Integrity as a contractor for a renovation or new construction.”

    Cornerstone Homes, LLC
    New & Custom Home Builders in Ames
    Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsAugust 9, 2014
    “My husband and I recommend Cornerstone Homes. We had a house fire so at the time we hired Cornerstone Homes we weren't looking for a home builder and had no plans to build a house. Someone at our mortgage company suggested Cornerstone Homes. Because of our situation, Cornerstone Homes had to work with our insurance agent and our mortgage company who dispersed the funds. They did a great job of communicating with all involved and were great people to work with. The subcontractors were skilled and worked hard to meet deadlines.”

I have had the pleasure of working with Brad on about a dozen homes thus far and each one is truly unique and different from the previous. He has a great sense of humor along with great faith that guides every homeowner thru the home building process with ease. Jim McDole assists Brad at the job sites and makes sure things move along in a timely manner - He is a great asset to Brad's company and the two of them make my job easy and so very much enjoyable : )”
