Modern

Modern operates from an office at 4475 NE 3rd St, Bldg D in Des Moines, IA 50313 as part of a regional mechanical contracting organization with offices across Iowa and Minnesota. Locations span Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, Davenport, and Blaine, MN, plus a Quad Cities hub. The company holds a 2.0-star average from 4 verified reviews. Crews staff standard hours Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 5 PM. This contractor focuses on commercial and industrial new construction and renovation rather than individual homeowner service calls. Project types include BIM coordination, pre-fabrication, industrial piping, refrigeration, and sheet metal for markets ranging from manufacturing plants to commercial properties.

What separates this contractor from mid-market shops is the scale of in-house pre-fabrication capability. The company maintains dedicated facilities for commercial pre-fabrication and industrial fabrication, allowing assemblies to be built and quality-checked before arriving on site. This reduces field labor hours and scheduling risk on large commercial projects. Market Vice President Rusty Beazley oversees the Des Moines operation. The company structure supports multi-trade coordination on complex projects where HVAC, piping, plumbing, and sheet metal intersect.

Bob Howe awarded 5 stars after a difficult repair, describing the Modern Piping team as responsive, skilled, and professional in completing the work quickly. By contrast, two reviewers reported an incident involving a truck operator at Captain Roy's boat ramp in Des Moines who behaved aggressively toward a family attempting to leave. Both negative reviews cite the same company truck and driver conduct. The positive review does not name a specific technician but praises crew-level responsiveness.
