Founded by Demir Miljkovic after more than a decade working in various areas of construction, Better Builders was created to raise the standard of the building experience in the Des Moines metro. With a focus on high-quality craftsmanship, durability, and clear communication, the company specializes in composite and PVC decking and custom deck installations using top brands like Trex and TimberTech.

Better Builders works primarily with homeowners who are investing in their “forever home” and want an outdoor space that functions perfectly for their lifestyle. Many of their clients love to entertain, spend time outdoors, and value a space designed for long-term enjoyment. Serving suburban neighborhoods throughout the Des Moines metro, Better Builders helps homeowners turn their vision into a durable, beautiful outdoor retreat.

What sets Better Builders apart is their commitment to quality and professionalism at every step of the process. Recognized by major composite and PVC decking manufacturers as a top deck builder in Central Iowa, the team takes a no-corners-cut approach to construction. Their professional, pressure-free process is backed by more than 125 five-star Google reviews, with customers consistently praising their expertise, craftsmanship, and communication. “We believe homeowners deserve a great experience from start to finish,” shared owner Demir Miljkovic. “Clear communication and quality work are the foundation of everything we do.”

Beyond their construction expertise, Better Builders is known for going above and beyond what customers expect from a contractor. From initial design to final walkthrough, clients are kept informed throughout the entire project so there are no surprises along the way. This consistent communication helps ensure every project runs smoothly and delivers results homeowners can enjoy for years to come.

For Demir and his team, the most rewarding part of the work is creating spaces that bring families together. “We love knowing that the decks and outdoor spaces we build give families more opportunities to spend time together, relax, and enjoy their home,” Demir said.
