Contractors

[Michael Pease]

I'm hoping this hits people who have the quad cities keywords pegged. (Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, Davenport).

I've been investing and managing properties in the Quad Cities for several years now (just over 6). I've been struggling for a while to maintain a good list of contractors that I can trust and rely on for everything from minor repairs to complete remodels. I've gone back and forth about hiring someone to maintain on my staff (so far my staff consists of just me) but I don't think i'm at that point yet with just 20 units.

I'm hoping some people can post here to help me out with some contractors that they have used in the past or have heard good things about. I'll list some below that I've used as a reference point. A lot of my repairs are appliances or plumbing but I'm also interested in having a good list of people for all aspects of rental property maintenance and renovation. I have an electrician that I trust and is affordable so that is about the only one I'm set on.

Crawford Co (plumbing) - expensive but reliable

TMI (little bit of everything) - also expensive and mostly reliable

QC Appliance Repair - not very reliable, will recommend fixing anything even if not worth the price

QC Honey Do - I've used them recently for a lot of my projects but they are very busy and I'm nervous they won't provide quality moving forward.

Fiers Plumbing - I have a horror story with these guys so I'm avoiding them

Dougs Heating - expensive but have never had issues with their wor
