Kinzler - Comfort Solutions Merger Points to Strong Iowa Construction Industry

Ankeny, IA, August 22, 2022 – Kinzler Construction Services announced its acquisition of the insulation and gutter divisions of Des Moines and Marion-based Comfort Solutions. It’s a move that Kinzler leaders say will improve construction products and services for Iowans and fuel beneficial efficiencies. It also points to a strong construction sector in the area. The acquisition was effective August 19.

 

“This merger further strengthens our ability to serve builders and homeowners across the state of Iowa and beyond,” says Tanner Kinzler, President & CEO of Kinzler Construction Services. “Combining Kinzler and Comfort Solutions Insulation and Gutter divisions means exponential increases in inventory, equipment, and manpower to get your job installed right and on time.”

 

Bringing the gutter division to Kinzler adds new services to Kinzler’s operation in Cedar Rapids - installing gutters, leaf guard protection, and gutter/downspout repairs for both residential and commercial projects. Kinzler already installs insulation, gypsum concrete, fireproofing and overhead doors (with their acquisition in January of WD Door and Doors by George.) The company also distributes a full line of construction materials, including drywall, steel framing, acoustical ceiling tile & EIFS. 

 

Comfort Solutions has developed a reputation built on quality and service, led by Matt Hoskins, Alex Hefflefinger and Mark Eichinger. Eichinger will continue his leadership as part of the Kinzler team. About 50 members of the Comfort Solutions Insulation and Gutter divisions – roughly 40 in Cedar Rapids and 10 in Des Moines – will be making the transition to Kinzler Construction Services and the change will be seamless for customers. Matt Hoskins and Alex Hefflefinger will continue operating Comfort Solutions, offering HVAC, Aerobarrier and Energy Audits.

"It just creates tremendous opportunity for us and for everyone in our insulation and gutter divisions," Eichinger said. "It streamlines our operations and will hopefully increase efficiencies on every level, which will benefit our customers."

Kinzler Construction Services is a family and employee-owned construction subcontractor which has been in Iowa for 37 years. Based in Ankeny, the company operates locations across the state in Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, and Ames - as well as Colorado, Texas and North Carolina.
