RED OAK, Iowa — U.S. Senator Joni Ernst, Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, has announced that Young Construction of Cerro Gordo County has been selected as the Senate Small Business of the Week, recognizing more than two decades of growth, service, and community commitment.
“For more than 20 years, Young Construction has built their reputation for providing extraordinary roofing services and more, making sure every project is a nail above the rest,” Ernst said. “From Iowa and beyond, the Youngs have constructed a team that delivers top-notch craftmanship, giving homeowners peace of mind.”
Founded by Dan and Tami Young in 2001, the company began as a small roofing outfit and has since grown into a full-service exterior contractor. Today, Young Construction provides roofing, siding, gutters, and insulation services across Iowa, southern Minnesota, and Florida.
The company now employs 25 skilled workers, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern construction practices. Ernst highlighted the firm’s reputation for quality workmanship and customer satisfaction, which has fueled its expansion over the last two decades.
Beyond construction, Young Construction has made community service a cornerstone of its business. Through its YC Roof Rescue program, the company donates roofing services to families in need, helping those who might otherwise struggle to afford critical home repairs. Its YC Cares initiative also supports veterans, local nonprofits, and community organizations with financial aid, sponsorships, and volunteer efforts.
This commitment to service has made Young Construction not just a business, but a trusted neighbor in the communities it serves.
Ernst, who routinely highlights small businesses across Iowa, said Young Construction represents the spirit of Iowa entrepreneurship: family-driven, community-minded, and committed to excellence.
The recognition places Young Construction among a select group of businesses honored for their role in driving economic growth and improving quality of life in their regions.
With demand for home improvement and energy-efficient upgrades continuing to grow, Young Construction is poised to expand its services further while staying rooted in its family values and customer-first approach.
The Youngs say they remain committed to providing durable, high-quality construction while continuing to reinvest in the communities that have supported them since day one.
