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."

"Anger issues. Upcharge everything, try to scam more work. Work done was trash & not agreed upon. Materials were changed & short cuts were made. Backfill was trash, full of broken asphalt & tree roots the size of my fat arm. driveway, yard, neighbors yard was left torn up and cratered. Mud mounds measuring 4ft tall at the tallest were left scattered along the foundation and as tall as 9inches in the driveway making it nearly impossible to get in and out. At first pull in to my driveway, I hit old driveway chunks buried in mud mounds and destroyed one wheel on my brand new truck. This should have been cleared prior to getting the all done message from them. No path in and out was created. I had to buy a pressure washer and scrape half of my driveway clear, smash big heavy asphalt chunks up into moveable pieces, wash remaining surface down inorder to safely get in/out of driveway. new line is 7ft to long in basement and new hole they drilled in foundation leaks. Lawsuit in order."

Locally owned and operated company right here in the state of Iowa. We do take care of any excavation or grading needs a homeowner might need. With 20 years of experience in the industry, we offer a fair and competitive price and we are always available to answer any questions.

"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!"

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction, from the start to the completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"We had Scott and team repair our concrete front stairs and install a handrail. We also had them install new baseboards and trim throughout our home along with new kitchen backsplash and a wood breakfast bar. We are so happy and pleased with the quality of the work and how it all turned out. Scott is very communicative and always quick to respond to any questions. We originally were scheduled for work to begin in December or January but when he found out we are expecting our first child in February he took it upon himself to speak to other project owners and was able to get us moved up to October. That is something you just don't see these days and was so incredibly kind. We will have Scott and team out for any future home projects we have and would highly recommend."

Yes, most states require plumbers to have a license, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality, added future expenses, and potential code violations. Having a licensed plumber tackle your projects only protects you as a homeowner. 

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

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Before finding the right plumber for your job, there are a few questions that you should ask, including: 

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Do you charge for estimates? 

  • Is your fee a flat rate, or is it hourly?

  • Who will do the work? Are they all licensed and qualified plumbers?

  • What happens if any breaks or damages occur?

  • What is your response time in an emergency? 

  • Is cleanup included in the quote?

  • Do your services come with a guarantee?

Discussing these questions with your plumbing contractor will help eliminate future issues and clarify expectations.

Before your plumber pays you a visit, it’s a good idea to clean up any boxes, garbage, or other obstacles that could be in their way. In addition, it’s best practice to clean the area that needs to be inspected or worked on, like a toilet, for example. Make sure to keep kids and pets out of the way once the plumber arrives.

Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more. 

The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.

A faucet replacement vs. a failed waste line flooding a finished basement would be at opposite ends of a very broad spectrum. "A plumbing repair" could range from perhaps a $150 minimum service charge up to tens of thousands of dollars for a substantial repair and associated cleanup, finish work, etc.

The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
