Get matched with top remodelers to accommodate a disability in Des Moines, IA

"I used Scott's Home Renewal for a first floor renovation about three years ago, was pleased and hired them again for this. Not the cheapest contractor, but definitely the best I have used here. First class professionals; first rate subs, especially the tile and glass people The custom glass door arrived with the wrong specs, and the glass contractor got the factory to make a new one with only one day of waiting.. If you want it done right, contact Scott's."

"We needed design help for a kitchen and bath remodel and Jessica referred us to a designer to provide guidance. We had a first-rate experience with her business and would recommend to anyone."

"Kent pretty much remodeled our entire house. He communicated well and always called to make sure things were exactly the way that I wanted them. We were very pleased with his work and would highly recommend him to anyone."

"I'm so glad that I spoke with Gene Wike at Gilchrest Jewett Lumber about porch railings, because he helped me pick out materials, helped with design, and provided me with the names of three contractors who could get the job done, including Dennis Long of Long Construction. Dennis gave me a reasonable quote and warned me that he had some bigger jobs ahead of mine but would try to fit this little job in when possible. Within a week, he called to say he had a few hours and could send a two-man crew over to do the job. Brian and Eric did an excellent job and I am so pleased with the new railing. Neighbors and family are impressed with the look of the railing. I would be happy to employ Long Construction for any future remodeling jobs. Many thanks to all involved!"

"Chuck Pack has been assisting my in-laws for number of years and has always been professional. We are new home owners and he is helping us fix our townhouse condo. Wonderful service."

"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, Iowa"

"It went great - Joel responded very quickly and the work was done within the week. He kept in contact with me and worked with my schedule to get the job done as I needed. He stayed with the project and did not go back and forth between other projects. I appreciate the quality of the work and that he was accessible for questions as I was purchasing the materials. I would highly recommend him - I have other projects I will be asking him to do in the future!"

"I couldn't have found a better company to replace my old windows. Some are not square because of the age of my home and the Zen team, Brent and Hunter, took their time with each window, making them look beautiful inside and out. The amount I paid was what the original estimate was, so no surprises. The place is cleaner after they left than it was before! The installers were really nice guys to boot. A great company to work with!"

"I had called about five plumbers and couldn't get same day service. Jason called me back within 20 minutes of my initial phone call and was able to squeeze me in (to be fair, it might not always be possible for him to do this, and had I lived somewhere else or needed something more extensive done, like a water heater replacement, it probably wouldn't have worked since he was fully scheduled). But in my case he was already going from a job from West Des Moines to Johnston, and I live along the route, to he graciously offered to swing by on his way and see if it could be quickly fixed. It turned out to be just a bad thermo-couple on the heater, something common that he keeps a supply of in his truck (at least for the common water heater brands like mine). He quickly took the old one out and put a new one in, and I was up and running with hot water again! He was friendly and I thought the price was reasonable for short notice same day service. Also, he didn't try to upsell me on anything either. He told me flat out that he tries to repair first if he can. But he was also honest with me up front and said that if it turned out to be anything other than a thermo-couple, given the age of the unit it would be best to go ahead and replace, because most other component repair jobs end up costing quite a bit more. But in my case it was just the thermo-couple, and he told me that he warranties his repair work for 30 days, and that if for some reason this doesn't fix my issue (it did) and it turns out to be something else within 30 days, he'll make it right and credit the repair charge towards the charge of the replacement job, which I thought was very reasonable. I've not had to make use of that offer though because things are working fine."

"From the beginning Ely was extremely professional and upfront about service and cost. I had a problem on my end causing me to cancel and Ey was extremely accommodating. I then needed the service for another vehicle so immediately contacted Ely. The service was extremely quick and exactly as promised. I would highly recommend United Freight to anyone transporting a car, particularly between FL and NY."
