We Go Beyond Attention to Details

We monitor every step meticulously because that’s what you get when you team up with Iowa's finest subcontractors.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Dan & his team! They helped us find the perfect lot in a crazy market & worked alongside us on our custom plans, start to finish. The one on one interaction with the contractor himself, is something that can’t be beat. You won’t regret choosing Kruse Development for your next home build!

My husband and I built our first custom home this year, and we cannot recommend Kruse enough. There were never any surprises. We knew when things were happening, how long they'd take, and how much it would cost. His communication with us was excellent - he always responded to our questions promptly and thoroughly. We heard so many horror stories from our friends who have custom built, but we had no issues working with Dan and his team. Speaking of, everybody that Dan sent us to to pick out flooring, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, and anything else we had to choose was great to work with. He has built an incredible team and we would highly recommend Kruse Development.

We can’t say enough amazing things about Dan Kruse and his team! From start to finish his team communicated well and truly listed to the dreams we envisioned for our home. We started our build in March of 2020 and were moved in by August of 2020. There are very few contractors that can build the quality of home that he built for us in that efficient of a timeline. We have been in our home for two years now and still are in disbelief we get to call this beautiful place our home. Thank you Kruse Development for working so hard and building us the house of our dreams! If you are in the Des Moines area looking to build, look no more, these are your people!

To say we are absolutely blown away by Dan and Kruse Development would be an understatement, as someone who once worked with multiple builders I can confidently say that Dan and his team are TOP NOTCH. From start to finish the Kruse Team worked hard and did everything they could to bring our home to life, in a world where supplies, materials and labor are in short supply and enough back orders to drive anyone mad, Dan was very patient and up-front about anything that had to be changed he wouldn't just cut corners as he said "We need to do it right no shortcuts". Also I would like to say that behind every great builder like Dan is a group of hand selected vendors he trusts his reputation with and not one of them disappointed, they all made the process smooth and fun and were all experts in their fields. Thank you to Dan and Team for building our beautiful new home!

Can’t speak highly enough about Dan and his team! He helped make our home building process basically stress free. They only use the best materials and contractors in the Des Moines metro and the quality of work is outstanding. Dan is always available to meet in person and take calls, no matter the time or day. I’m very happy we chose Dan and his team and we are loving our new forever home.
