Our Services

Brackett Properties LLC. offers residential and commercial property maintenance and management, general carpentry and creating custom woodworks and benches in and around the Des Moines metro area.  Essentially, if you have a property and you need wood maintained, restored and/or replaced you have come to the right place!  If Parke is unable to provide a solution for your project, he can direct you to several contacts in central Iowa and across the US for further assistance. ​

Custom Woodworking (Residential and Commercial)

Brackett Properties LLC. offers custom woodworking for both residential and commercial properties around the Des Moines metro and central Iowa.  We provide sustainable solutions for property owners needing custom woodworking.  While we love to work on custom projects like salvaged pallet wood desks or live edge peg boards, clients need more cost-effective and realistic solutions for their property. That is why we work with our clients every step of the way – to ensure the final project is completed to your satisfaction. ​

Residential Quality Woodworking

Our clients can count on the quality and effort put into each project.  If there is ever a question or concern about a project, Des Moines Bench Builder and Custom Woodworking is always available.  We try to ask as many questions up front to avoid miscommunications. We source our tools and materials locally and choose sustainable and earth-friendly products when possible.​
When a client has a question or concern about the quality or timing of our work, we will take the time to provide clarity and transparency. We enjoy working with wood and are open to new, unexplored ideas for your next wood project.  Whether the office needs a remodel, new trim installed or the building just got hit by a tornado, Parke will work with you to create the atmosphere you want. Clients are given room for creativity and decision making to facilitate a custom project that will play a role in shaping the future of their lives. 

Commercial Des Moines Woodworking Products and Creations

The spaces that we create to live and work in should be enjoyable and reflect the liveliness of our personalities.  This is why custom wood working and bench building is such an added benefit to any space or property.  The natural feeling of custom wood works brings nature in and allows an individual to tailor a project to their style.

Custom BENCH BUILDER

A custom bench is a perfect accent piece for the back yard or an ideal resting place in the foyer of your home or small business.  Parke enjoys taking on new designs and expanding techniques with every new project and challenge.  If you have an idea Parke will do his best to bring it to fruition.

Custom Deck BUILDER and Restorations

Weather and time can cause a deck to dilapidate. Proper maintenance of all wood surfaces will ensure your custom deck lasts for years to come.  Whether your deck needs a pressure wash and stain seal, a full demolition and rebuild, or simply just a few nails and boards replaced; we can work with you to determine the best solution to increase the longevity of your custom deck.

Custom Wood Tables

One of our favorite projects is creating custom wood tables.  We work with our clients to determine the best use of materials and type, but enjoy using salvaged wood when at all possible.  We also restore tables. Seeing a piece go from idea to reality or old and rundown to refined and majestic is very rewarding. The right wood, stain type/color, and finish go a long way in givingour clients the look they want. We work with our clientsthroughout the entire process - providing pictures and updates to confirm the project is on track with their wants and needs.

Custom Decks

A great way to give that new home office the appeal and productivity it deserves is with a custom wood desk.  A salvaged pallet wood desk featuring an upper monitor shelf and lower storage shelf accents any office.  We can tailor your desk to have the features you need to be organized and work effectively. Whether we design your desk or you have a custom design idea to fit your space, we can provide the proper solution for a custom wood desk in your office or home.

CUSTOM Fence

Weather and time will cause any fence to succumb to the elements but, just like wood decks, wood fences fade and rot after a few years.  Similar to custom wood decks, custom wood fences should be maintained to last the full length of their warranted lifetime.  Biannually washing the fence to prevent mold, mildew, or rot, and proper upkeep of a sealer or stain-sealer every few years will ensure your fence lasts as long as possible.  Each fence is a little different and each yard provides different challenges and topography.  We will work with you to make sure the best and most cost-effective solution for your custom wood fence is provided.
