What we build
Three things we do exceptionally well
Most of our work falls into three areas. Each one is handled start to finish by our own crew — no revolving door of subs, no guesswork.
Deck Building
Custom decks designed for how you actually use your yard — elevated decks, walkouts, railings and stairs built to last through Iowa winters.

Concrete Work
Driveways, sidewalks, patios, walkways and pads — properly prepped, poured and finished so they stay flat and crack-resistant for years.

Ready for bigger work
The remodeler that says yes to the whole project
We built our reputation on interior and exterior projects for homeowners across the Corridor — finished basements, bathroom and kitchen remodels, painting, and structural changes like installing a header to combine two rooms into one open space.
Now we're taking on larger, more involved remodels. If you've been told a project is too complicated, or you want one contractor to own it from demo to final walkthrough, that's exactly the work we want.
- One accountable crew from start to finish
- Structural changes done right — permits and proper framing
- Clear scope and honest pricing before we start
- Job sites kept clean and safe day to day

What Corridor homeowners say
A 5.0 rating across every Google review. Here are a few.
"Alex and his crew provided outstanding service and quality work! Fast and reliable, kept the area clean as they went along. I will for sure contact Alex again if I need any other work. I love this privacy fence and it looks great!"
"We worked with Alex on several projects on our home. If I could hire Phelps to completely remodel my home, I would. He is professional, efficient and does a really great job. Prices are fair and affordable. Highly recommend Phelps Construction for your projects!"
"Working on our offices, restroom and our home. Even let the foster cat give advice. Great to work with and great results."
