Anyone’s credit can be improved given a bit of time and resources. 

I have found that when you do your own work efficiently and/or your own contracting, the money you save from being attentive, knowing the true costs, and being ready to do what needs to be done yourself, if need be(or because you enjoy the type of work) is easily enough to cover improved materials.

If they are interested, talk to them about improving their credit.
