We are a fully licensed, insured and bonded plumbing and general contracting company. We specialize in bathroom updates and renovations but we can build or fix just about anything. We work with other skilled tradesman in all aspects of the construction industry to ensure top notch craftmanship. We pride ourselves on suppling and installing American made products whenever possible and our customer satisfaction second to none!

"The project went very smoothly for us. After being contacted Redcorn immediately sent someone to get an estimate and an idea of the project to be completed. In a timely manner we received an estimate from them that was considerably better than the other estimates we received. We were very impressed with their explanation of their work, their efficiency of the work completed, and their overall communication throughout. They made our project feel like a priority, especially since it was a tiling job in December. We appreciate working with them."

"Billy did a great job on our project! He informed me every step of the way and responded to my questions in less than a day. And in most cases he responded in less than an hour. He was also very patient as we had to delay a few weeks due to my scheduling conflicts. He was very careful around my house while moving all the dirt and rock. I’ll definitely hire him again for other projects!"

FAQs for subcontracting projects in Colo, IA

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
