Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Missouri Valley, IA

"At the beginning of 2016 Ed from Bob's Home & Business Repair completely renovated two of our bathrooms. We are really happy with the work that was done. Ed was very thorough, had great suggestions regarding design, and was very easy to work with. The job took about a week longer than quoted (and as a result costed more in labor), but given the quality of work that was done it definitely was worth it. Even with the extra labor costs, the total charges still were about $15,000-$20,000 less than the quotes we received from two other highly rated companies on this site."

"Scheduled an appointment for someone to come to our home to provide quotes on the various jobs. He was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. As promised, a proposal was emailed to us the following day. The quotes were reasonable but decided not to do the floor project and went with our regular contractor to do the other two jobs."

"Had damage from high winds. Called Home Pride. They were very profesional and got everything done Quick. Highly recommend!!"

"Hands down the best contractors we have ever had! Professional and ultra responsive all while delivering quality craftsmanship! We will definitely use them for any future projects! Can’t thank Chuck, Jamie and team enough for their dedication and commitment!"

"The short answer . . . Gary Haldeman is honest, creative, attentive, and delivers quality you cannot believe. We asked for four things: make our master bathroom beautiful; make it appear bigger than it is; make it easy to clean; and make it super functional and durable. He delivered and then some, on time and on budget. We cannot recommend HC Remodel & Design highly enough.The long answer . . . We were faced with a tiny, 1967 bathroom off our master bedroom that had become unusable. The plumbing was shot and leaking, the materials were so old they could no longer be repaired, and the design was awful and dated. The room was causing us a lot of stress. It had to go. We had never undertaken a remodeling project before; complete and total novices. We began the process of seeking proposals. We had companies come give us the quick rundown and throw a sheet of prices at us with lots of "to be determined" in the margins; companies who called back once then never again; companies who _never_ called back; wow, it was an adventure. Then, we found HC Remodel & Design. ESTIMATE -- Gary visited (twice), talked about our goals with us, measured and completed drawings, and consulted with his plumber on a few points BEFORE providing us with an estimate. So again, we were not even clients yet, and _that_ was his attention to our project. Impressive. Clearly, he's very busy, and would often ask to stop by in the evening. Always on time, always courteous, always worked great with our schedule. In the end, he delivered an estimate that above all else was ACCURATE and REALISTIC. These projects (ours a total gut with all new plumbing) are not cheap, and Gary's estimate may not be your lowest, but you get what you pay for. With Gary, there were no shocking surprises during the project because of the care that went into preparing for it. RECOMMENDATIONS/GUIDANCE -- Gary is very creative and has terrific ideas. In our case, we were wanting to make a very small space appear larger. It never would have occurred to us to wall hang our toilet and sink, but Gary suggested it, and what a great decision. He also crafted a custom in-wall cabinet and some in-wall cubby areas for us that have increased our storage space exponentially without taking up any precious room space (also recommended some materials we had not considered using as accents that add interest yet are highly durable and were inexpensive). He suggested some unique stain work as well to create a focal point in the room that draws your eye up to the now higher ceiling, and it's beautiful, and directed us to his preferred suppliers for fixtures, tile, etc., and everyone was great. WORKMANSHIP -- The room is gorgeous. Period. Functionally, there are no issues . . . all plumbing is working great. Installation was outstanding. Gary hires great craftsmen, several of whom told us how much they admire Gary and enjoy working with him (and bonus: we have a cat in our home, and they all were very careful about his whereabouts and gave him extra scratches every day, so that he was not stressed by the process at all). The best aspect, for our project, is the tile work. We just love it! The attention to detail there was beyond expectations, and it is really flawless. COMMUNICATION -- Gary and Crystal in his office were so responsive from the beginning to the end of our project. They use a software program that allows you to see the progress of your project, monitor the budget, compare all of your selections in one location, and most importantly, posts notes and ask questions. Nothing ever gets lost in voice mails or a sea of emails. We absolutely loved the ease of that program, and Gary or Crystal always responded to our questions posted there in a timely fashion. INTEGRITY -- Meet once with Gary, and you'll know who you are dealing with. He is outstanding at his work, a true craftsman who clearly loves what he does, and a business man who delivers. But you are also working with a person who is honest and true to his word. We trust him implicitly and would never hire anyone else."

"He has been great ever since.The provider who was going to do it backed out and he came and did it. He was the best contractor we have ever worked with, he goes above and beyond. Whatever your priorities are, he sticks to it.He does what ever you want. He is very conscientious."

"<p>Dean was fantastic.  He was very thorough in explaining what he was seeing as we walked the project for the estimate and how he would suggest repairing and maintaining to avoid future problems.  He turned the quote around quickly and was able to start the project shortly after we reached out and said we were ready to proceed.  His team was very friendly.  They arrived early each day and kept our yard clean considering the scope of the project.  We did have some unexpected rot underneath the siding which we opted to have them repair as well.  Throughout the process they communicated every detail of progress, what was coming next, where we may see little variations between the existing siding that was not being replaced and the new (which I honestly don't think I ever would have noticed).  While we did have a few mishaps (damage to a fireplace vent and nail hitting an electrical line to our AC), they quickly fixed it at no charge  and without bickering which many other contractors would do.</p> <p>Overall we were very pleased and would definitely recommend Dean and his team.</p> <br />"

"The basement drain started backing up so gave these guys a call since I've used them in the past (see previous post).  They were out that day -- very responsive.  On the first trip, they were unable to find the main line clean-out so they went through a toilet (after removing it) and snaked the main sewer drain.  I have two trees in the front yard and the roots from one or both found the jackpot in the main sewer line.  They found the clog, but the snake got snagged and they were unable to retrieve it in a timely fashion.  They finally got it out and decided to go in with the camera.  However, they were unable to get it past the first trap and finally had to give up.  The main drain was flowing fine so they called it a day.  They had run out of some type of adapter to reinstall the toiled so one of the guys took off to find one.  Took about 45 minutes.  When he got back, they discovered they didn't have a masonry bit to install the adapter.  Guy went back out for another 30 mins.  Got back, reattached the toilet.  $451. <br /> Two weeks later the drain backed up again.  I called that night and they were back out the next morning.  Again, very responsive.  By this time I had found the main clean-out, but it was behind the furnace and the clean-out faced the furnace so no real room to work.  Went in again through the toilet and water started flowing fine.  They found A fem hygiene product and A baby wipe (my daughter and grandson are staying with me, so.... yea). <br /> I had them feed the camera through the clean-out this time (tight, but it worked fine) and the pipe looked good; a few roots still noticeable, so not sure how ONE fem hygiene product and ONE baby wipe could have caused a clog in a 4" pipe.  Water flowed fine and continues to do so two months later.  $200 for second visit. <br /> NOTES: <br /> 1.  I started using copper sulfate (Zep - get at big box store - thanks YouTube) to kill those roots.  $13 a pop, a few times a year vs. $650. <br /> 2.  Not happy it took two trips or that they didn't have all the parts, so it wasted my time. <br /> 3.  If it does happen again, I feel I'd use a national chain simply because they've probably done 1000's of these and it may cost less. <br /> 4.  They don't give you a receipt on the visit (two carbon sheet manual system) so they'll e-mail you a copy in a week or so.  Hence, "B" for Professionalism. <br /> 5.  If they go through a toilet, they can't use the 4" cutter (for the 4" main).  Not sure why they didn't push the snake to the main clean-out then swap the cutters.  They suggested a new clean-out outside. <br />"
