Bunting Construction delivers professional roofing and construction services to Mount Vernon, Iowa — a charming college town of approximately 4,500 residents nestled between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. Home to Cornell College, three National Historic Districts, and a thriving uptown arts community along First Street, Mount Vernon demands craftsmanship that honors its rich architectural heritage. Whether you own a meticulously preserved Victorian near the Cornell College campus, a modern home in one of the town’s newer developments, or a commercial property on the main corridor, our team brings the skill and care your building deserves.
Founded in 1847 and named after George Washington’s Virginia estate, Mount Vernon is defined by its academic spirit and creative energy. Cornell College — whose entire campus is listed on the National Register of Historic Places — operates on the distinctive One Course At A Time block plan and draws students from across the nation. The town’s First Street corridor features antique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and coffee houses that give Mount Vernon a cultural vitality far beyond its size. Each May, the nationally recognized Chalk the Walk Madonnari festival fills downtown with over 200 artists creating stunning street paintings, while the annual Chocolate Stroll, Heritage Days, and Uptown Thursday Nights keep the community calendar full. Nature lovers appreciate Palisades-Kepler State Park just minutes away, where dramatic limestone bluffs rise above the Cedar River along miles of wooded trails. Mount Vernon also holds the distinction of being Iowa’s only designated Bee City, reflecting the community’s deep commitment to environmental stewardship.
