For Luke Reese, owning and operating Reese Builders isn’t just a career—it’s a calling. Born and raised in Virginia, Since he moved to Iowa, Luke has always had a deep love for this community. From the rolling hills of Madison County to the classic charm of Beaverdale, he believes there’s no better place to build, renovate, and raise a family.
Supporting Local, Building Local
At the heart of Luke’s mission is a simple but powerful belief: when you support local, everyone wins. Reese Builders partners with local vendors, tradespeople, and suppliers whenever possible. That means everything from the lumber used in custom beams to the finishing touches on a kitchen renovation is sourced with intention and care.
“Every time we work with a local vendor, it’s more than a transaction—it’s a relationship,” Luke says. “It’s about supporting families just like mine and helping Central Iowa thrive.”
That commitment is why so many homeowners trust Reese Builders. The company’s reputation is built not only on quality craftsmanship but also on a strong foundation of community values.
Iowa Roots, National Parks Heart
When he’s not helping clients turn their homes into dream spaces, you’ll find Luke loading up the camper with his wife and kids, heading off for a new adventure in a national park. From the peaks of the Rockies to the quiet trails of the Black Hills, Luke treasures time spent unplugged and surrounded by nature.
But no matter where the trail leads, Iowa is always home.
“We love to explore, but I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else,” he says. “There’s just something special about Central Iowa—the people, the pace, the pride in where we come from. This is where I want to raise my kids and keep building something meaningful.”
A Vision for the Future
Over the past several years, Reese Builders has grown into one of the most trusted names in home remodeling across Des Moines, Ankeny, West Des Moines, Waukee, Ames, Huxley, Clive, Urbandale and beyond. From historic renovations to luxury home additions, Luke and his team take pride in every detail. And they’re just getting started.
“I’m so proud of what we’ve built,” Luke says. “Not just the homes, but the relationships. The trust. The chance to help families love where they live.”
As the company looks ahead, one thing remains clear: Reese Builders is here to stay—rooted in Central Iowa, committed to excellence, and ready to make homes more beautiful, one project at a time.
