Busy Builders has been building homes across Central Iowa since 2020, and every project starts with a clear plan, a fixed written estimate, and a registered general contractor who stays on site from permit to final walkthrough.
Established in 2020, Busy Builders is Owned and Operated because of a dream. After decades in the trades, Busy Builders was started to bring integrity and honesty back to the remodeling and home building world. We are a registered and insured Iowa contractor; Iowa Contractor Registration #C140184.
Our Mission is to provide the most transparent and honest experience possible when it comes to any construction project, whether that is a bathroom remodel or building your new home.
Our vision is simple, to grow and serve all of Iowa with our dedicated service to the remodeling industry, all starting with West Des Moines and the surrounding areas.
Busy Builders started in 2020 with a simple promise: bring integrity and honesty back to construction. The founders spent decades in the trades and saw too many homeowners burned by vague bids and surprise costs. So we built the company around the opposite. You get a written, fixed price before work starts. You see the schedule. You know who is in your home.
Since then, more than 1,285 Central Iowa homeowners have trusted us with their projects. We build new homes, remodel kitchens and bathrooms, finish basements, build decks, and put on additions. One company, one point of contact, from the first walkthrough to the final inspection.
We are a registered Iowa contractor (Registration #C140184) through the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing. Registration is the state requirement for general contractors in Iowa, and licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians handle those trades on every job that needs them. Permits get pulled before work starts, not after questions come up.
Our service area covers about 50 miles around Des Moines: the metro plus Boone, Dallas, Guthrie, Marshall, Warren, and Story counties. From Waukee to Marshalltown, the same crew standards and the same warranty apply. If you want to know what your project costs, call 844-435-9800 and ask. You will get a real answer.
