Why Choose Great Plains Construction?

You've read the stories. The contractor who stopped answering the phone halfway through. The bid that came in suspiciously low and then grew by thousands once the walls were open. The crew that disappeared for two weeks with a bathroom sitting gutted.

We started this company because we've spent decades in the trades watching those situations happen — and we knew they didn't have to.

With more than 40 years of combined experience in home remodeling, Mark and Ben have done enough renovations to know where projects go sideways. Most of it comes down to two things: a bid that wasn't honest to begin with, and a company that stopped communicating when the news got hard.

So we do it differently. We quote what the job actually costs, including the things we expect to find behind the wall or the floor. We tell you what we're doing and when. And when something unexpected turns up — because occasionally it does — you hear it from us the same day, not at the end.

We're locally owned and based right here in Urbandale, Iowa. That's not a marketing line, it's an accountability structure. We're not a call center routing you to whoever's available; we're the people who'll be at your house.
