“My husband and I stumbled upon Grace Allen Homes while attending various open houses on a Sunday afternoon – and we are sure glad we did!!! While touring the open house being hosted by Grace Allen Homes, we got to meet Mike Foust and Mary Davis. Mike, the owner, was able to point out all the important details and key features of their build that makes it unique. We were blown away by the craftsmanship detail and aesthetic of the home. Mary, the realtor and interior design specialist, was able to inform us about the build process and get us started on our next adventure. When building a house, there are so many details that go into play – between the structural aspect, down to the decision of bathroom towel accessories – Mike and Mary walked us through it all. We were able to meet with both Mike and Mary to dive into the blueprints to make them exactly how we envisioned. Mike’s expertise with structural, foundational, and functional details helped us learn the why and how behind every detail – something that most builders wouldn’t take the time to discuss with clients. Later, we had a selections meeting with Mary where we chose every design detail. Her knowledge on design trends/color pallets, artistic vision, and detail-oriented skills made our selections process go so smoothly. She has an ability to give her opinion without persuading our decisions, which is hard to come by. Throughout the whole building journey, Mike and Mary were in constant communication with us. Between keeping us updated on what step was next, letting us know timelines for progress, and allowing us to address any modifications during the build – they made us feel comfortable to contact them at any time. Mike and Mary have been nothing but exceptional to work with! We would recommend Grace Allen Homes to anyone who is looking to build. They go above and beyond to focus on the clients’ wants and desires for a home. They couldn’t have made our building adventure more enjoyable!”

“Grace Allen Homes was our builder for a recent new home purchase in Clive, IA. The first time we walked into the unfinished house, we knew this could be our new home. While we were touring the home, we were fortunate enough to meet the builder, Mike Foust. Mike took the time to give us details on the home, and pointed out the unique features of a Grace Allen Home. We were impressed with the attention to detail and features of the home. From the start of our interest in the house through the date of closing, Mike has been prompt and thorough in his communication. He has kept us up to date through every step of the process. More importantly, Mike’s follow up after the sale has been responsive and immediate to the smallest detail. Additionally, Mary Davis, assisted us with selecting design options and colors for the new home. Mary spent several hours with us going through the design selections. We were very impressed with her patience in selecting colors, and making sure that we chose the best option. She even made several trips to the house to paint samples and send pictures as we were located out of town. Mary is very responsive in communication. After moving in, she followed up with a friendly welcome to the neighborhood. We would highly recommend Grace Allen Homes as your next builder. We believe Grace Allen Homes operates with integrity and focuses on the client’s needs. Their finished product exhibit exceptional attention to detail in construction and design.”

“I have worked with Mary and Mike several times now helping my clients build new homes with Grace Allen Homes. I have nothing but amazing things to say about both of them. Mike is very involved and willing to meet with clients directly to help create their vision and bring it to life every step of the way. He is very down to earth and a straight shooter, makes promises and delivers, does the right thing. Mary has been a blessing to work with on the real estate side of these transactions she not only handles the listing for Grace Allen but also the design aspects meets clients at vendors to help select flooring, fixtures, lighting, etc. coordinates timing of all stages of finishes and is an excellent communicator to both the buyer and the co op agent and again involved every step of the way! Your clients are in good hands with Grace Allen Homes!”

“Our journey with Grace Allen Homes started in the summer of ‘23 when we were contemplating an out of state move. We researched many home builders in the DSM area and loved their unique details incorporated into their plans. We also did not want a cookie cutter home that was slapped together in a couple of months. We researched many home builders in the DSM area and loved their unique details incorporated into their plans. We wanted a builder who believes in attention to detail and craftsmanship. Grace Allen Homes checks all the boxes. Mike Foust (owner) takes pride in his homes, and it shows in the quality and workmanship. Mary Davis was fantastic to work with as she helped us find a great lot and she weathered through our countless questions since we were communicating from one state to another. She walked us through each step of the homebuilding process with patience and never hesitated to explain things when we had questions. They were also very accommodating when we requested custom changes to the plan. Since we were not in the DSM area when the house was being built, Mike and Mary kept us abreast with constant updates that included pictures and videos. They explained their process so that there were no surprises, and the home was completed right on schedule. We recently moved into our home, and we could not be happier. It is perfect! The quality of the construction is outstanding. We ran into a small electrical issue after we moved in, and Mike and Mary sent someone out the next day to fix it. We moved from another state where we lived in a home for 23 years. It was very hard to leave but knowing that our new home was built with great craftsmanship made the transition a lot easier since we didn’t have to worry about what we were walking into. We cannot recommend Grace Allen Homes enough; they are the best! Thank you, Mike and Mary, for helping us build our perfect home!"

“My clients ended up going with another Builder, however, we were blown away with their attention to detail. The Builder, Mike, was even going to name the floor plan after my Buyer, "Linda". I'll definitely use them when I have the opportunity.”
