If you live in Des Moines and you haven’t seen Jake Boyd’s photography yet, you’re missing out. We came across Jake and his photos on Twitter, and we can’t believe what we see! Mad talent!

We especially appreciate his talent shooting Des Moines architecture. We’ve never seen anything like it.  After seeing his work, we knew he needed to be featured…so here goes…

Let’s Meet Jake:jake

Jake Boyd Photo

How long have you been in business? Right now it’s just a hobby

Describe your business… I shoot anything and everything in the Des Moines area.

What makes your business unique? I take more of an artistic approach with my photos. I try to use angles/ideas that you don’t normally see. I also work with photos in Photoshop to ensure the best quality.

Who is your typical client/customer? Anyone who needs photos taken. I prefer architecture.

Where can we find you? You can follow Jake on Twitter (@jakeboyd) or visit his website at http://www.jakeboydphoto.com.

Have You Heard?

Curb to Curtains Home Services, LLC

How long have you been in business?
One year.

Describe your business:
Our goal is to help you achieve the most out of your home. We are a full-service company with a wide range of skills and experience. We offer three primary services:

General Contracting/Home Repair
Whether you are completing a remodel or creating an inviting outdoor space we can get it done.
 
DIY Consulting
This service is for the do it yourself person who may appreciate an expert eye before moving ahead. We can take a look at your project, offer advice on how to achieve the results you’re looking for and send you on your way with confidence. We can even check back through the various stages.

Home Sale Consultation and Preparation
Whether you are currently trying to sell your home or preparing to put it on the market, we can provide you with a one time consultation and help you prepare it for the market.
Our consultation service includes a comprehensive exterior and room by room interior assessment as well as a prioritized list of recommendations because time and money is usually a constraint for most homeowners. We include staging tips using your own things and can even give you great photos to provide you or your real estate professional.
 
What makes your business unique?
We canʼt stress the value of our consultation service enough. Todayʼs buyers have a lot of options and are looking for curb appeal, appropriate updates, and inviting and clutter free spaces. We help homeowners see what potential buyers see and then help the homeowners focus their time and energy. Itʼs easy to justify the $150 dollars for our consultation if it means potentially raising your asking price or selling it faster in todayʼs slower moving market.

Who is your typical client/customer?
Home sellers looking for an edge in todayʼs real estate market or homeowners considering a remodel or addition to their home but seeking input on the best use of their resources.

Where can we find you?
We live and work in Johnston and serve the Des Moines metro area.
