I had Lil Brother Const do a porcelain tile floor for me a little more than one week ago. Shawn and Jeremy did the work and it was wonderful!!!! They were on time, very professional and they KNEW what they were doing answered all my questions I had about the project …… I would recommend Lil’ Brother Const to all my friends and family I do trust them. Next year I will have another project for them as well!!! Thank you Lil Brother Const. for being such a friendly and honest business !!!!

Toby, Jaime, Jeremy, Melvin and Steve did an amazing job turning our empty space of a basement into a wonderful asset for our house! The addition of a conforming bedroom and full bath will make the house so much more liveable! The team was courteous, professional and super friendly, not to mention talented. So happy we chose Li’l Brother for our construction needs!!

Lil Brother Construction has the best Tech’s in Des Moines!! I really like Shawn! Highly recommend this company for ANY of your home improvements!

Jaime Crawley , (Anita, Iowa)

Lil’ Brother arrived on time, were polite and clean, and came in under their bid. We had them look at 2 different possible projects for us, one which they tackled, and one which they were honest and advised us they couldn’t do. I appreciate it when a person/company knows their expertise and limits and doesn’t tackle a project just to make money. I was very pleased all the way around. Great job guys, we will definitely use you again!

Rebecca Smith (Rebecca Sweeney), (Des Moines)

Great people! They’ll make ya happy with whatever they do for ya!

Kelcey Krings , (Polk City, Iowa)

Steve and Jean at little Brothers Construction are great to work with. I have been working with them and sending people to them for many years now and everyone who has them out to get some work done is happy with the result. They are an honest company who legitimately cares about the people they’re working for. If you’re looking for an ethical company that will get the job done and not disappear halfway through then Lil’ Brother Construction is who you’re looking for.

Other Projects That Often Come Up During Exterior Construction

Once exterior work starts, it’s common for homeowners to realize there are a few other things worth addressing while the timing makes sense.

When access is already available and crews are on site, taking care of related projects can save time and prevent having to reopen work later.
