Jarboes Construction is based in Kirksville, Missouri, about 57.5 miles south of Ottumwa, and we regularly take on residential construction and remodeling projects for homeowners throughout Wapello County. While we don't keep an office or crew stationed in Ottumwa itself, our team travels north to handle interior remodels, exterior work, and repair projects for the community, working with homeowners to schedule visits and get the job done right.
Ottumwa's housing stock spans decades of construction, from older homes near the Des Moines River to newer builds on the edges of town. That range means different needs: some houses need updated siding or roofing to hold up against Iowa winters, others need interior remodeling to bring older layouts up to date, and some just need general repairs after storm damage or years of wear. We handle all of it — siding, roofing, decks, concrete work, additions, interior remodeling, and the smaller repair jobs that come up along the way. Whatever the scope, we approach it as a general contractor who can manage the full project rather than handing off pieces to different trades.
Ottumwa is the county seat of Wapello County and one of the larger towns in southeast Iowa, with a population just over 25,000. That size means a wide mix of housing ages and styles, but it also means homeowners here don't always have a lot of local options when it comes to contractors who can take on both interior and exterior projects under one roof. We've built our business around serving North Missouri and the surrounding region, and Ottumwa falls within reasonable driving distance for us to take on projects without cutting corners on scheduling or attention to the work.
Because we're coming up from Kirksville, we plan our Ottumwa projects with clear timelines from the start — an initial visit to look at the scope of work, a straightforward conversation about what needs to happen, and a schedule that works for both sides. We don't oversell what we can do, and we don't take shortcuts because a job is farther from home base. For decks, concrete, additions, or roofing work, we'll walk the site and talk through materials and options before anything starts. For interior remodeling or repair work, we'll do the same, whether that's a single room or a larger renovation.
