Lil' Brother Construction

We share a lot of the big transformations around here, but we don't want to forget about the small projects!

Sometimes it's a door that won't close right, a railing that needs secured, a few boards that need replaced, or a room that just needs a little TLC.

Not every project has to be a major remodel to make a difference in your home. ❤️

What’s one small project you've been putting off?

The leaves are changing, the mornings are getting cooler, and somehow we’re already heading into the last few months of the year!

October is a great time to tackle those smaller home projects you’ve been putting off before winter arrives. A few repairs or updates now can make a big difference when the cold weather settles in.

What’s on your home to-do list this fall?

✨ Check out this amazing transformation of this bathroom! ✨

We gave everything a refresh and it turned out so amazing! Our team crushed it! 🙌

We updated the shower and removed a Jacuzzi tub that wasn't being used and took up quite a bit of space. In its place, we added custom cabinetry for a much more useful and functional space!

We love how this bathroom came together! 🛁✨

We appreciate our customers! ❤️

Every project we complete starts with a homeowner trusting us with their home. Whether it's a large remodel or a small repair, we're grateful for every opportunity to help improve the homes in our community.

Thank you for choosing Lil' Brother Construction, recommending us to your friends and family, and allowing us to do what we love every day. 🏡🔨

We helped complete this beautiful fireplace mantel and surrounding built-in bookshelves for one of our customers, and we absolutely love how they made it their own!

Our customer did such a beautiful job decorating the space with their books, plants, games, baskets, and personal touches. ❤️ It really brings the whole project to life and makes this space feel warm, cozy, and uniquely theirs.

We love getting to see our work finished, but seeing how our customers make a space their own is even better! 🏡✨

🍂 What's on your fall home improvement to-do list?

Maybe it's finally replacing that old door...

Maybe the deck needs some repairs...

Maybe there's a room you've been wanting to update...

Or maybe you've got a whole list of little projects you've been putting off! 😉

Whatever is on your list, we'd love to help you check some things off. 🔨🏡

Testimonial Thursday!

This one is extra special because Darci is trusting us again! ❤️

We’re so thankful to have the opportunity to work with her again, and this time we’re heading into a kitchen remodel! 🛠️🏡 We’re excited to get started next week and see this space come together.

There’s no better compliment than a customer choosing Lil’ Brother Construction for another project. Thank you, Darci, for trusting us again! 🥰

Stay tuned as we’ll be sharing the before & afters throughout! 👀✨

With all the rain we’ve been getting lately, a lot of homeowners are dealing with water in places they definitely don’t want it!

If you’re a Des Moines homeowner dealing with water issues, there’s a city program you may want to know about!

The City of Des Moines Private Property Protection Program can reimburse eligible homeowners for 100% of qualifying costs, up to $1,500, for certain improvements designed to help protect your property and keep excess water out of the sanitary sewer system.

Some of the improvements that may qualify include:

✔️ Installing or redirecting a sump pump to discharge somewhere other than the sanitary sewer
✔️ Disconnecting roof drains/downspouts from the sanitary sewer
✔️ Installing a backwater valve

A few important things to know:
📌 The property must be located within the City of Des Moines.
📌 The work must be completed by a licensed plumber.
📌 You must receive approval from the City before the work begins.
📌 Qualifying work must be completed by June 30, 2028.

If you've been dealing with water problems around your home this year, this could be a resource worth looking into before starting the work.

Check the City of Des Moines' Private Property Protection Program requirements and application to see if your project may qualify!

Des Moines Private Property Protection Program offers subsidies to help property owners install backup valves and other defenses against sewer backups.
