We love Lil Brother Construction. They have worked on several projects for us we couldn’t be more pleased. Very prompt and always clean up after themselves. We’ve recommended them several times to friends and neighbors.
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 !!!!
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!
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!
Second time using Lil’ Brother Construction. I was satisfied with their work and will use again.
Great people! They’ll make ya happy with whatever they do for ya!

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.
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!!
Jean and Steve truly live and work by their motto. The integrity of their people and the quality of their service is beyond compare. They are exactly the kind of people you want working in your home.
