Our Story

Built from the ground up.

EverStone Homes wasn't born in a boardroom. It grew from a childhood spent on job sites, learning what it means to build something that lasts: with your own hands, your own name on it, and your community watching.

Where It Began

Born & raised in
Ankeny, Iowa

EverStone Homes is the product of a lifetime spent in construction. Growing up in Ankeny, Iowa, the founder didn't just watch homes get built. He grew up inside the process. His parents owned and operated DS Solid Construction, a name many in the Ankeny community will recognize, and one that stood for doing the job right.

From a young age, weekends and summers weren't spent far from a job site. Whether it was watching footings get poured, framing go up, or finishing work get done, construction wasn't a career choice. It was a way of life passed down through the family.

That upbringing left something behind that no classroom can teach: a genuine respect for the craft, an understanding of what quality looks like at every stage of a build, and a deep connection to the community those homes serve.

EverStone Homes is the next chapter: a builder with roots in Ankeny, building for the families who call it home.

"I didn't choose construction. I was raised in it. Every home I build carries the same standard my parents held: that your name on a house means something."

03
Community First We're building in the neighborhoods we grew up in, for the families who are putting down roots right here in central Iowa.
A Family Legacy

The foundation was
already there.

Raised on the Job Site
Long before EverStone Homes existed, its founder was learning the trade firsthand, watching his parents build homes from the ground up, understanding that every detail matters and every deadline is a promise to a family waiting to move in.
Generational Knowledge
There's a difference between someone who learned construction in a classroom and someone who grew up inside it. The standards, the instincts, the eye for quality. Those come from years of watching experienced builders do the work with integrity.
A Name People Know
DS Solid Construction built a reputation in this community over many years. That legacy isn't something we carry as pressure. It's something we carry as pride. EverStone Homes is the next generation of that same commitment to the people of Ankeny.
Rooted in Ankeny
We're not a company that showed up to capitalize on a growing market. We've been here. We went to school here. We know this community: its neighborhoods, its families, and the standard of living its residents deserve.
DS
Our Roots
DS Solid Construction
For years, DS Solid Construction was a trusted name in the Ankeny area, building single-family homes with a focus on quality workmanship and straightforward dealing with customers. That company was run by the family that raised EverStone's founder, and the principles it operated on are the same ones EverStone Homes is built on today. We're proud of where we come from.
What We Stand For

Three things we
will never compromise on.

01
Quality
We don't cut corners. Every material selected, every subcontractor hired, every finish installed goes through the same filter: would we be proud to put our name on this? If the answer isn't yes, we don't do it. Quality isn't a selling point for us. It's a non-negotiable inherited from a family that built its reputation one home at a time.
02
Punctuality
When we give you a timeline, we mean it. We know that a home under construction isn't just a project. It's a family's life on hold. We plan carefully, communicate proactively, and take deadlines seriously because we respect that your time matters just as much as the quality of the build itself.
03
Honesty
Building a home is one of the biggest decisions a family makes. You deserve a builder who tells you the truth about timelines, costs, and challenges, not one who tells you what you want to hear. We believe honest communication builds trust, and trust is the only foundation worth building on.
Our Commitment
"Every home we build is a promise to the family who will live in it, and to the community that surrounds it."
