We built our dream home in 1983 and raised our four children in it. Like nine people out of ten in America, we want to live out the rest of our years in our home. Having preemptively purchased long term care insurance to help pay for future in-home medical and support services, we also understood the need to remodel a portion of our multi-level home so that we could live on one floor, when future personal mobility issues would become a factor in our daily living routines. We visited with a number of remodeling contractors at several home shows and chose Red House Remodeling (RHR). Located in Valley Junction in West Des Moines, Iowa, they are a small company of five highly competent individuals that take pride in doing great work and experience a sense of accomplishment from making positive changes in the lives of their customers. Ben, as the contractor, is an honest and direct communicator. He is a systemic thinker, process driven, and highly organized, which mitigated hassles for us and allowed RHR to come in on budget. He was always willing to take the time necessary for us to understand the reasons for any pandemic related delays. COVID-19 has been a huge challenge, as supply chain disruptions have caused certain materials to be out of stock, creating delays in construction. Ben communicated these issues on a timely basis. Stephanie handles administration and marketing for the company. She was prompt and courteous in our requests for information. Jenna, using 3D software, helped us create and visualize the finished project months before the demolition and construction of our home actually began. She paid close attention to our wish list while providing a young professional’s perspective on what it would take to modernize our home. She provided attractive “Plan B” alternatives when COVID related delays forced us to look for different materials to install Chris and Troy are highly skilled construction professionals, that excel in doing quality work in an efficient manner. RHR was a great fit for our project. They understand what is needed to make a home viable for aging in place. We were very comfortable working with them. Finally, for anyone considering home renovation, it’s important to be flexible and willing to tolerate disruption when living in your house during the construction process. We found that the beautiful finished product was well worth the temporary inconvenience. Bill Taber & Susan Taber, Des Moines, Iow

Great ! Owner Tim came out and did an emergency tarp -- in the rain, as my BR ceiling was leaking. Jan ( office manager ) worked with my insurance until the bid & repairs were enough to give me a great outcome. Their repair guy was professional, friendly and did a good job. I would not hesitate to use them again & to recommend them

Wow. These guys are good. Fair estimates that beat most of the competition from a price standpoint. They come to work on time (amazing). They are very trustworthy - I was home with my infant a lot during their work and had no concerns. They're family men and are very concerned with managing expectations. They always went the extra mile for us and we will have them paint our exterior next. They also did some GC for us, subbing electrical, plumbing and flooring work. Very fair on their mark-ups. They've hit 4 rooms of our house so far and will always be on the top of our list. Andy works with his dad, Roger, and his friend, Alex. They subbed two guys who belonged to their church or otherwise well known. When the flooring folks came and we were out of town, they came to "baby sit" since we didn't know the flooring guys. That's how much we trust them

The person in charge of the remodel responded quickly to my calls. He gave me a clear and complete plan for the work and how much it would cost. They were respectful of my space and time by informing me of progress and they cleaned up after they were done. They did beautiful finish work.

We had a half height wall between the kitchen and the stairway leading to the basement that we wanted to make a full height wall in order to create additional space for new cabinets in the future-one side involved putting up scaffolding on the stairway. We also had a wall that partially separated the kitchen and dining room removed so we could make the kitchen more open to the dining room. Andy came and looked the project over on January 5, and had a bid to me that weekend. As he was looking over the project he made a suggestion that, while I was planning the project, I hadn't even thought about, but it improved the project significantly. After I reviewed the bid we scheduled the project for January 23-24. Andy advised they would be arriving about 8:00 AM (we live a fair distance outside of town). Andy and his crew arrived almost to the minute of 8:00 AM. We spent a few minutes reviewing what was to be done, and he and his team dug in. They had everything done and ready to be textured by 2:00 that first day, but couldn't go further because the drywall compound needed to dry overnight. The next day they arrived early, again dug in and wrapped it up by 11:00. The entire team was very professional, very courteous, and very customer oriented. It's not often that I can't find a single thing to complain about, but working with Andy was one of those few times. The new wall looks perfect and blends perfectly with the existing walls. The area where they removed the wall they took great pains to make sure the ceiling texture matched up, and it did. It was absolutely dead on, and I defy anyone to see where they patched it in. In the future, any time I need work done that I can't or don't want to handle myself I will call Andy first, and probably no one else

Because we have had some ordering problems with our kitchen cabinets Andy has been very patient with all the delays. He never get's frustrated is always patient and helps us to relax about the remodel. This young man is more then expected.

All aspects on the job went smoothly. I was especially impressed that I called him last minute and he was able to fit this job in quickly so my carpenter could get started in the space. It was obvious that he went above and beyond to get this job done quickly for us. I think other contractors would have told me they couldn't do the job when I asked, I only gave him a week's notice. He worked hard to get it completed for us even though we were first time customers. Also, I live in an old home and the walls in my son's room look like a new construction home now. I am impressed

"In the late Spring of 2021 we contracted with Better Builders to replace our aging cedar deck with a new composite deck. Due to a health crisis, we had to indefinitely postpone the project. The team at Better Builders was very understanding and allowed us to cancel the contract with no penalty. Late January of 2022 my husband and I decided to proceed with the project. I contacted Keaton at Better Builders. He updated our contract and committed to having the deck done by mid May. They had an early opening in their schedule and started tearing our old deck off on February 28th. Within four days the the deck was completed, the dumpster was gone, and the yard was cleaned up. The crew was on time and worked a full day. Excellent communication from Keaton and the owner. The cost was significantly less than another quote we received from a competitor. Our new deck is beautiful and low maintenance. We would not hesitate to recommend Better Builders.

"Where do I even begin telling you about Tony and the wonderful work he does, the attention to detail, the cleanliness, the "going beyond the call" mentality? We had a water mark showing up on our family room ceiling that was gradually getting bigger and darker. With two bathrooms on the second floor right above the damage we were pretty sure what the problem was. We really didn't know of any contractors that would do this "small" of a job so I went searching. Stumbled across Midwest Remodel and Handyman in my search, saw some good reviews and that's when we were fortunate enough to have met Tony! He came right out and assessed the damage and within a day gave me a fair quote and an estimate of when he would be able to do the work. Hired!!! Then, before he even started this job for us, my mailbox post decided to crap out on us and was almost leaning in to the street. I called Tony just to see if by chance he could fix it for me. Again...he came right out and took care of the problem for me! Unbelievable! When the time came to actually do the work I initially hired him for, he was prompt, diligent, efficient, he cleans up after himself literally every day before he leaves, and I have to say that watching Tony and his helper Brandon work together is entertaining, to say the least! What a couple of great guys with a great sense of humor! And when all was said and done, he stuck to his quote, no overcharging and the work was impeccable. But here is a testimony to the true character of these guys...in the midst of all the repair work going on, my wife had a medical emergency. I had to go pick her up from work and leave her car in the parking lot where she left it as she was unable to drive. On day two of her hospitalization, these guys offered to take me to go get my wife's car so it didn't have to sit in the parking lot any longer. They did not have to do that but that's the kind of guys they are and I was incredibly grateful! Class act all the way! Best of all, we now have someone that we can trust and rely on to do things around the house for us that we just don't have the talent or skills to do ourselves! What a relief!!! We already have more things for him to do! This guy is so good, it didn't take long for our neighbors to catch on...he's doing work for them now too!
