Small Business of the Week: U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, has announced 3C Roofing & Construction of Crawford County in western Iowa as her small business of the week. Named after their three sons — Caius, Callum, and Coe — Brendan and Amanda Allard started 3C Roofing & Construction in November 2024, turning it into a trusted small business for roofing, siding, seamless gutters, and handyman services. Beyond construction, the Allards are heavily involved in the community, from assisting a family who lost their house to a fire; to donating playground equipment and supporting preschoolers with craft Mother’s Day planter boxes. Ernst, chair of the Senate’s Small Business Committee, is naming one exceptional small business of the week in each of Iowa’s counties during this congressional session.
