General Contractor in Drakesville, IA

Taking on a home project often starts with excitement, a new kitchen, an updated roof, a better layout. But somewhere between the first idea and the last nail, it becomes clear how complex construction really is. In Drakesville, homes are as diverse as the land around them. Many are long-standing farmhouses with layers of old workmanship, while others are modest ranch homes built decades ago with materials that don’t meet today’s energy standards.


Renovating these spaces takes someone who knows how to tie new work into old bones without creating future headaches. A trusted general contractor can make the difference between a smooth, well-executed project and one filled with costly surprises.


A skilled general contractor is part designer, part builder, and part project manager. They bring order to what can otherwise be chaos. They coordinate trades so an electrician isn’t waiting on a framer, plan for Iowa’s shifting weather that can halt a roofing job mid-project, and catch structural issues, like undersized joists or hidden water damage, before walls are closed.


For kitchens and baths, they blend design sense with technical know-how, ensuring plumbing, electrical, and ventilation are modern and safe while still achieving the style you want. For exterior work, they understand materials that can handle high winds, temperature swings, and heavy Midwest rains.

Local experience matters, too. Rural job sites mean access roads, well systems, and outbuildings that city builders might overlook. A general contractor familiar with these challenges can save time, cost, and future repairs.


That’s why many homeowners call KG Construction. Known throughout Drakesville for honest communication, well-managed schedules, and solid craftsmanship, we transform homes thoughtfully, bringing practical solutions, durability, and style to every remodel or repair.

KG Construction removed our old wood deck from the front of our house and built a beautiful new composite deck for us. Levi was very professional, helped us order everything we needed, and then got the job done in a timely manner. I've attached a few photos of the finished deck.

Kevin W.

Levi and his cousin did an exceptional job. They did a walk in shower for us and it looks amazing. Levi took the time to make sure everything was done right even when he had to do extra that wasn't found until the floor and tub were taken out. We already have asked him to put us on his schedule to fix what someone else did wrong.

Levi hung 23 doors. Framed windows, doors walls and cabinets. Finished framing a fireplace then tiled, grouted and hung a mantle. Leveled parts of the floor and laid vinyl flooring. I will be calling him again for future projects.
