This was for my summer house and there was some mis-communication. I wasn't present when the job…read morewas done, so I couldn't check what was completed and what wasn't. Was quoted for replacing insulation in "ceilings" and they only did the attic. The first floor ceiling was not done - they said they couldn't find the access port, but never called me to inquire (it's a very obvious hatch in the bedroom closet floor). I only learned of this after I paid and then they gave excuses for not doing the complete job. Happy with the attic part, but wish they would've completed the whole job...

Martinson Construction owns a few rental properties that they rent out. I happened to live in one…read moreof them over near Cedar Heights. And I honestly can't say enough good things about Martinson Construction's management of the property - and the property itself. We occasionally had issues, but after reporting it to them, our issues were generally solved within 24 hours - or at least we received an update about what they had done to start fixing it (order a part, schedule a company, etc.). Rent actually went DOWN while we lived there, and prices were comparable to around the neighborhood. A week or two was usually given as head's up when they needed to enter the unit. Everyone who entered was always friendly. The apartment itself was beautiful with lots of natural light. It was modern and well-insolated, and our heating/cooling bills were pretty low each month. Generally around $70 or $80. Neighbors were quiet and friendly, and it was just a great neighborhood. Absolutely no complaints about it - and we were sad to move.

I met with City Builders sales manager Chad Kinkade about a roofing project and provided my…read moreinsurance information. About a week later, he gave me an estimate and agreed to contact my claims representative and collect a shingle to begin the ITEL process. After multiple unanswered calls, texts, and voicemails, I finally reached him through the office. He acknowledged seeing my messages and promised to come by on July 24 or 25, but again failed to follow through or respond. No work was performed and I did not lose money, but I lost valuable time while my roof may be sustaining additional rain damage. I would have preferred a direct answer if he could not or did not want the job rather than repeated promises with no follow-through. I will not be working with City Builders.

They seem to be good at the basics of what they do. But you should ask them to provide proof of…read moreinsurance at least, since there's no record of them on Iowa Business Entities Search or the Iowa Division of Labor Contractor Registration website. Also, they may not be a good choice if you know or reasonably suspect you have lead-based paint. They don't understand, or don't care about, the connection between exposure to lead dust (e.g. from home renovation) and brain damage to children under age 6 and fetuses (through a pregnant woman's exposure to lead dust). The outermost coat of paint on your walls, or on wood siding that might be underneath vinyl siding, might not be lead-based. But there are often older layers of lead-based paint on these surfaces. If you cut into the house to widen a window opening without wetting down the area first (or at least putting up a plastic containment area inside the house) you will definitely generate dust from that paint, even if it doesn't look like much.
