One of the few places I've seen in the states where you can get tablecloths similar to how you would buy them in Europe, which is off of a roll and by the foot. Patterns are much more lively and beautiful than what you would find in a typical tablecloth packages. Plenty of assistance if you have questions about cookware, books, or even cooking techniques. Demonstrations are periodically held in the store where you can watch some creativity in the making! WhileI love the beautiful products, pricing tends to be a little steep, and you really have to look for deals when offered. The advantage here is the hands-on service and products that are not always readily found in typical kitchen stores.

We selected Jerry after having looked at many different homes in Des Moines, IA. The homes were…read moreall very similar and not very creative. Then my wife found a home that wasn't for sale but loved the design and asked the owner who built it. That is how we found Jerry. We then selected a lot and started the design process. In the design process we told Jerry and the designer what features were important to us as well as what style of houses we like (contemporary/modern). They came up with drawings which we were able to say we liked or disliked. They then tweaked the drawings more and more until we had a set of plans for the home. There definitely was not a house that looked very similar to ours in Des Moines, which might be difficult for some people. You can't just drive across town and see what your house will look like with different paint and countertops. The homes Jerry designs and builds are unique. It can take a lot of imagination and consideration to picture how your home will look, but it is well worth it. The building process went well. There were different concerns on how to use different spaces, etc. as we moved forward and I appreciated Jerry's insight on how to improve upon the plans that had been drawn. We had a large area on our second floor which was not accessible and would likely hold art or something else. Jerry thought it might be nice to put a catwalk over to the area and make it a sitting area or area for the kids. It was a great idea and significantly improved the home. We moved our game room from the area previously designed to an area with 10 ft ceilings to better take advantage of the space. There are many other examples as well. The build wasn't without problems. We moved in 4 weeks later than we were supposed to. We came in over budget; however, Jerry's fee did not change...we only paid extra for the changes WE made. That was appreciated as other builders will hit you with change order fees, etc. As for moving in late......we did when we built our previous home and I don't think I have heard from anyone building a house that moved in exactly when they were supposed to. Regardless, the high quality finished product more than made up for the delay. In short, I would not hesitate to recommend Jerry Bussanmas as a home builder. He builds a high quality home as well as a unique home in our otherwise cookie cutter neighborhoods. I wish there were more of his homes in our area.

Jerry, Nick, Nichole, and Kelsey are a great team. We had many questions throughout the process of…read morebuilding our first home, and the Bussanmas family was extremely knowledgable and informative. They offered great suggestions and guidance during each phase of the build. Being pregnant (emotional, neurotic, and irrational) proved to be a challenge for my husband and for me, but Nichole was always helpful in alleviating my stress, especially when it came to the detailed finish work and helping us make decisions that stayed true to the style we envisioned for our home. Each day after work my husband and I would stop by to check on the progress of our home, and we were always very impressed with Jerry's crew . The construction manager, Cade, was very friendly and easy to work with, and he took the time to answer our endless questions. We were also especially pleased with the trim carpenters, their attention to detail, and the overall design and quality of their work. My husband and I feel very lucky that our home was built by Jerry Bussanmas. I cant say enough about the quality and craftsmanship of his work. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Jerry.

The door was pretty straight forward and was done in about a day. Very pleased with the replacement and quality of work. (Jay did a great job) The beadboard was a big job. The peak of the room is over 20' up and presented a real challenge as there are some lowered beams in the way that make scaffolding difficult. It took about 3 days to get it done but the results are beautiful. The drywall was screwed up on the wall, but not even taped from about 10 years ago. (We bought an unfinished repo) I figured that it would have to be ripped out and replaced, but Jason thought he could save us a lot of money by taping and sanding, and it came out really good. You'd never know that it was old crumbling drywall the way it looks now. We were really impressed. The best part of the experience was after they were done Jason came back to do a punch list of the work and see if we were satisfied. There were a few relatively minor issues like you could see the nail holes in the beadboard and they had run out of window casing and left one window half finished. All the issues we had were addressed to my wife's satisfaction, (not always so easy to please her) and overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Jason is a good guy who you can tell really cares about his work and the customers satisfaction.
