Busy Builders Launches Custom Home Building Services in Des Moines and Central Iowa
West Des Moines, United States – January 29, 2026 / Busy Builders LLC /
West Des Moines, Iowa — Five years ago, Busy Builders started with a simple idea: what if a construction company actually told you the truth?
No hidden fees buried in change orders. No disappearing contractors. No promises that evaporate the moment you sign a contract.
That philosophy has now served over 1,000 Central Iowa homeowners through additions, remodels, and renovations. And starting today, Busy Builders is officially offering custom home building services to families across Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Waukee, and surrounding communities.
Why Custom Home Building? Because Iowa Families Kept Asking
The expansion into custom home building wasn’t part of some corporate growth strategy. It happened because homeowners kept asking.
“We’d finish a major addition or whole-home remodel, and families would say, ‘If we’d known you existed five years ago, we would have just had you build the whole thing,’” says the Busy Builders team. “After hearing that enough times, we realized Central Iowa families needed a custom home builder they could actually trust.”
Custom home building is a natural fit for a company that’s spent years learning exactly what Des Moines area families need from their homes. The harsh Iowa winters. The humidity. The way a mudroom becomes essential after one February in Ankeny. The basement that needs to handle moisture while still being a usable living space.
That local knowledge doesn’t come from a manual. It comes from five years of solving real problems for real families across Polk County, Dallas County, and throughout the Des Moines metro.
What Sets This Des Moines Custom Home Builder Apart
Most home builders operate on volume. Get in, get out, move to the next project.
Busy Builders operates on relationships.
Every custom home building project starts with an honest conversation about budget, timeline, and expectations. Not a sales pitch. Not a bait-and-switch where the “starting price” mysteriously doubles. An actual conversation where both sides figure out if building a custom home together makes sense.
From there, clients stay involved at every stage of the home building process. Not because it sounds good in marketing materials, but because surprises are expensive and preventable. When homeowners understand what’s happening and why, projects run smoother and budgets stay intact.
The company brings the same craftsmanship standards that built its reputation in remodeling: quality materials, skilled tradespeople who take pride in their work, and construction practices designed for Iowa’s climate. Energy efficiency isn’t an upsell—it’s built into every custom home because houses that perform well cost less to own.
Custom Home Building Plus Full Remodeling Services
The expansion into custom home building doesn’t mean Busy Builders is abandoning the work that built its reputation in the Des Moines area.
Home additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement finishing, deck construction—these services continue with the same team and the same standards. For homeowners in West Des Moines, Johnston, Urbandale, or Grimes who love their neighborhood but need more space, Busy Builders remains the trusted choice.
The difference now is that Central Iowa families have options. Transform the home you have, or build a custom home from the ground up. Either way, you’re working with a team that’s already proven they’ll show up, communicate clearly, and deliver what they promised.
For Des Moines Area Families Ready to Build
Custom home building is one of the biggest decisions a family can make. Busy Builders believes that decision should come with complete transparency—on pricing, on timeline, on what to expect at every phase of construction.
Competitive pricing. Honest communication. Custom homes built to last.
