Ambassadors welcomed new member Avenue Builders and Restoration to the chamber today. Owners Conner & Keaton Jones shared more about the history of the company and where they’re looking forward to taking it in the future.
ABR was started by Connor’s dad over a decade ago and did a variety of work in the area with Connor assisting. When his dad retired and moved out of state, Connor worked in concrete and expanded his experience in the construction industry. After the May 2023 hail storm, Connor’s dad returned to the area to assist with some repair work and Connor came on board as project manager. They saw a demand that led to Connor taking over the business at the end of the year, brought on Keaton and establishing a permanent location in Grinnell.
They worked on a variety of projects over the last two years in over 80 homes in the Grinnell, Newton and Tama area. Their recent focus has been on exterior work - siding, roofs, gutters, concrete, windows, etc. but are expanding into interior builds and remodels and interested in doing whole-home and commercial builds. With a small team, they have a reliable list of local sub contractors they work hand in hand with to ensure their clients projects come to fruition.
Connor and Keaton moved into suite #6 at Stagecoach Road and customized the space to fit their needs. This office allows them to meet with clients and review quotes and discuss projects.
