Some of the most important things we help build have nothing to do with lumber.

We're proud to support Make-A-Wish Iowa and the work they do for children and families. Supporting the communities where we live and work has long been part of who we are at Spahn & Rose.

Caulk isn't one-size-fits-all.

Painting interior trim? Look for a paintable formula. Sealing around a sink? Water resistance matters. Working around exterior doors or windows? You'll want a sealant made to handle the weather.

DAP breaks down what to look for before you start. It's a quick read that can save a frustrating do-over.

When homeowners talk about what matters in a new home build, windows are big part of that conversation.

“Good quality of the windows, energy efficiency and window style to match our house style” drove the decision for homeowner Terry Bosko when selecting Andersen Windows for a new home from the Warren, Illinois, Spahn & Rose location.

That focus carried through after installation. “The windows have met our expectations. The style perfectly matches our home style,” Terry says.

For builders, it’s a reminder that the right window package supports the finished look and long-term satisfaction homeowners expect.

See how Andersen windows helped deliver that result with support from Spahn & Rose.

“I knew you would help me.”

That’s what a longtime customer told Nancy Wolf when he recently called Spahn & Rose in Dyersville looking for a window part—and was delighted to discover Nancy was still there.

Nancy originally joined Spahn & Rose temporarily to help with inventory. Thirty-one years later, the inside sales representative has built lasting friendships with customers and co-workers while watching Spahn & Rose grow far beyond the Tri-State Area.

“He was so happy to hear that I was still here,” Nancy says. “That makes you feel good!”
