Basement Finishes

AKM Construction and Austin are beyond the best! He is meticulous about his work, sticks to budget and timeline, and is just an all around nice guy! After completing a project to replace siding and construct a new deck, we had him back for indoor work on a bathroom remodel and work in our basement. I happily recommend him to friends and family!

Austin and AKM completed two construction jobs for us this year. He built our screened in porch and a custom pantry. He is amazing! His craftsmanship is unmatched. He listens and finds solutions. His communication is excellent. I highly recommend him.

Our experience with AKM was smooth and about as easy as frustrating house repairs come. I initially contacted him about repairing some siding corner pieces that were damaged from the derecho in 2020. We had reached out to several other contractors in Eastern Iowa over the course of 2020-2021 to get bids and all of them either didn't get back to us or quoted incredibly high, wanting to replace our entire west-facing siding. After getting in touch, Austin assured us he could complete the work without having to replace everything, and the project was complete in less than a week. He was thorough and upfront about pricing, timeline, etc. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to family and friends - thank you Austin!

Austin fit my small job into his busy schedule . I appreciated the work and his communication. I already have him booked for another job this summer!

Austin was absolutely awesome! His crew was fast courteous, very nice very efficient! I gave them a bag of mixed Hershey kisses and Reese‘s peanut butter cups as a treat. They were very grateful. I gave Austin a cash tip because cash is king always appreciated from small businesses, thank you Austin and your crew for all your hard dedication and extremely fast work. Everything looks awesome.

AKM made me feel at ease throughout the process. They were able to meet with the insurance adjuster and work on my behalf. The guys were able to schedule quickly afterwards and get the job done with excellence. They were always upfront to avoid hidden costs. Roof looks great.

Austin did a great job of laying out several different options to get us the best deck experience possible. His craftsmanship really shined in all the small attention to detail that he have the project
