Celeste Holloway remembers perfectly the day in 1991 when her carpenter husband, Tom Bockenstedt, came home from work and delivered an ambitious idea, with trademark enthusiasm. Tom said, Let's build a house. Let's let the public decide if we're ready to become general contractors, Celeste recalls. The husband and wife team built a spec home under a grueling schedule, wanting it ready for the Iowa City Parade of Homes that May. The diligence paid dividends. Tom and Celeste sold five homes from that one spec home, and B&H Builders was born.
We can help you renovate your existing home to add value and curb appeal. During the design phase, B & H takes into consideration the existing architectural details of your home to blend them seamlessly with the new renovation. The same skilled professional craftsmen that put an extra touch of quality into our newly constructed homes will take part in your home improvement project. Step 1: Meeting at Your Home - B & H Builders will meet with you to identify the areas you would like to renovate. Step 2: Ballpark Estimate - B & H Builders will give you a "ballpark" estimate of the budget required to complete your desired results.
When it comes to new home building in Iowa City, you would be hard-pressed to find more skilled, versatile carpenters than those at B & H Builders. We're capable of building any architectural style of home to your unique specifications. Newcomers to the home-building experience may wonder where the building process begins and ends, what happens in-between and how a builder combines all of the necessary steps to build a home. As the central driving force behind all work completed on your new home, we're so much more than just your average builder.
Building green isn't just about replacing traditional building materials with sustainable materials. A fully integrated energy-efficient approach is key to both home renovations and new home construction. Even the best products may not be cost-effective with improper application or installation. At B & H Builders, our commitment to the environment extends beyond the products and procedures we incorporate into our homes to our business practices and the way our company functions. We use a thoughtful approach to construction that allows owners to create a beautiful new home that is both comfortable for the family and undemanding of our environment.
