Veenstra Construction & Crane Service

"Do It In The Air"

About Us

For over four decades, Veenstra Construction & Crane Service has been lifting Iowa—literally and figuratively. Founded in 1979 and proudly based in Oskaloosa, our company began with a simple mission: to provide reliable, expert crane services with integrity and a strong work ethic. What started as a small, family-run operation has grown into one of Iowa’s most trusted names in crane and construction services, serving communities across the state with precision, safety, and heart.

At Veenstra, we believe that every lift tells a story. Whether we’re raising steel beams for a commercial development or assisting with a residential build, our team approaches each project with the same level of care and professionalism. Our operators are highly trained and experienced, and our equipment is maintained to the highest standards—because we know that when you're working at great heights, there's no room for compromise.

We specialize in both commercial and residential crane operations, offering tailored solutions for projects of all sizes. From setting trusses and HVAC units to supporting large-scale infrastructure and agricultural builds, our work is as diverse as the communities we serve. We’re proud to be a part of Iowa’s growth, helping contractors, homeowners, and businesses bring their visions to life.

But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to relationships. We’re not just a service provider—we’re a partner. Our clients know they can count on us for honest communication, dependable scheduling, and a job done right the first time. Many of our customers have been with us for years, and we’re honored to be a trusted name in their projects time and time again.

As we look to the future, our focus remains the same: delivering top-quality crane services with the values that built our business—trust, expertise, and a deep respect for the work we do and the people we serve.
