"I wanted to take this opportunity to fully compliment your crew and company for all of the outstanding work they have done for Ames High these past few years. During our synthetic turf project, baseball and softball field updates, and other irrigation jobs you have delivered on all of the promises and expectations that we agreed on. The quality of work and timeliness of completion has just been rock solid. Communication of expectations on both the school side and your side has been very good as well. The professionalism and courtesy of you and your staff was and still is greatly appreciated. As I reflect back on numerous construction types of projects that I have been a part of here for the last fifteen years, I can say without a doubt Iowa Athletic Field Construction Company is tops on my list of people to work with. Again, keep up the good work and congratulations from Ames High Athletics on jobs well done."
