Building in Bondurant and the Northeast Metro
Bondurant has pushed past 10,000 residents, and almost all of that arrived recently. That single fact explains most of what we do here.
When a town grows this fast, the housing is young and the work is not renovation. It is finishing what the builder left, expanding what the plan skipped. Replacing the first round of decks now reaching the end of their service life. We see far more bare-block basements in Bondurant than we see plaster walls.
Fast growth also means active covenants and tight lot lines. Before we draw an addition we confirm setbacks and any association rules, because in a newer subdivision those govern more than the building code does.
One thing newer construction does not exempt you from is radon. Iowa has some of the highest readings in the country and a new house is not automatically a low one. We test before finishing a basement, not after.
We build across the northeast metro. Homeowners in Altoona, Pleasant Hill, Polk City, and Ankeny call us for the same work.
