At Kaufman Construction, we believe your home deserves more than a quick fix or a trendy update, it deserves care, craftsmanship, and a team that sees the big picture. Whether we’re remodeling a kitchen, finishing a basement, or handling a small repair through KC Handyman, we bring the same thoughtful approach to every project.
We’re here to renovate, repair, and maintain your home with intention, offering a solution for every project, big or small. Our integrated team of designers, project managers, and skilled craftsmen works together from start to finish, ensuring every detail is purposeful and every outcome is built to last.
And because we’re built on care, we treat your home, and your time, with the same respect we’d want for our own families. For over 27 years, homeowners across Greater Des Moines have trusted us to simplify homeownership and enhance their lifestyles. We’re proud to be the long-term partner you can count on, today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
Our clients were the inspiration behind KC Handyman, a division of Kaufman Construction formed in 2004. In some industries, you never hear from your clients again once a job is finished. Fortunately, that wasn’t our experience. Our clients stayed in touch with us long after their remodeling projects were completed. In fact, many of them trusted us to tackle other jobs in their homes, ranging from repairing leaky roofs to installing new kitchen cabinets and countertops.
We realized that it made sense to start a service that offered an alternative to the Design-Build, fixed price approach offered by Kaufman Construction. KC Handyman was created to handle smaller projects that require skill and craftsmanship but don’t need the same oversight as a major renovation.
The talented handymen who work for KC Handyman take care of large and small repairs, maintenance and renovation projects for homeowners and businesses. Clients pay an hourly rate and are responsible for directing the work of the handymen.
