Ken Crum - Founder & Owner
Meet Ken Crum: Your Neighbor & Concrete Expert
For Ken Crum, concrete isn’t just a business – it’s a craft passed down through generations and perfected over 35 years of hands-on experience in Central Iowa. Born in upper midwest, Ken started working with concrete as a teenager, learning from old-school craftsmen who believed in doing things right the first time.
In 1989, Ken founded Ken’s Concrete Service with a simple mission: provide honest, quality concrete work that stands the test of Iowa’s challenging weather. What started with a single truck and a commitment to excellence has grown into one of Des Moines’ most trusted concrete contractors, yet Ken still answers the phone, meets with customers, and oversees every project.
"After 35 years, I've seen every concrete problem Iowa can throw at us. From the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy improperly mixed concrete to the clay soil that causes settling, we've learned how to build concrete that lasts."
