Jake from Picture Perfect did several home improvement jobs for us recently all of which were…read moreperformed very professionally. Jake is a perfectionist and stayed with each job until it was completed to his and our satisfaction. He worked extra hours to assure that the entire job was completed on time , working into the evening on one day and coming over even on a Sunday to complete the job because he had another job scheduled for the next day. He cleaned up after himself and made sure things were back in order before he left each day. I cannot say enough good things about his work and we will be calling him in the future whenever we need something else done. I can highly recommend Jake and Picture Perfect. If you are looking to have your job done well and on time Picture Perfect is the place to call.

I couldn't be happier with the work that they did! From start to finish, the team was professional,…read moreefficient, and incredibly easy to work with. They completed my project much faster than I expected, and the quality of their work is outstanding. What really impressed me was how affordable they were compared to other quotes I received -- and there were no surprise costs at the end. It's rare to find a company that delivers great craftsmanship, excellent communication, and fair pricing all in one. Highly recommend Aureus Construction to anyone looking for reliable and skilled construction professionals. I'll definitely be using them again for future projects!

If you're a college student looking to rent downtown, I'd definitely recommend Hodge! We rented…read morefrom them for 3 years during undergrad and I can say that compared to other companies that operate downtown Hodge has great customer service and EXTREMELY fair pricing for the location! We lived at the 130 E. Jefferson property (directly across from the biology building) and Y'ALL we were paying less than some of my friends who lived down near the railroad tracks renting from other companies. Central air, secured keypad entry (not like some of these any-key-will-open-the-door buildings!!!), walking distance (literally less than a minute to the PBB or Pentacrest), and CLEAN. Monthly pest control and the hallways in the building were always pristine as well. Jodi was always extremely helpful answering any questions or helping resolve any issues and never acted like tenants were an annoyance. SERIOUSLY ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES ARE SO NICE! THE NICEST COMPANY I'VE RENTED FROM. If you're looking for your first apartment out of the dorms and want to live downtown/east campus and not get screwed over by all of the awful housing in downtown Iowa City, I'd HIGHLY recommend Hodge.

I lived at 203 Myrtle Avenue from 2014 to 2017, in 2 different apartments. I would definitely…read morerecommend it to anyone looking for a cheap but decent place to live. It's way cheaper than anywhere else downtown because it's dorm style, not because there's anything wrong with it. Every floor has a men's room, a ladies' room, and a kitchen. The restrooms have multiple toilets and showers, plus you can always go to another floor. I never couldn't shower when I wanted to and usually had the whole room to myself. The common areas are clean and the appliances work. Washers and dryers stopped working occasionally but always got fixed or replaced soon. Management were responsive and helpful. They always answered the phone during business hours and had an emergency number you could call 24/7. The bathroom ceiling started leaking at 1 a.m. and was fixed by 5 a.m. That's the only major maintenance issue in 3 years. Pest control sprayed every month, and I never had more than the occasional lone insect. Heating and AC were powerful and never broke. I got my security deposit back even though I didn't clean super thoroughly. Rent increases were modest, around 10 dollars a year. I rented a parking spot in my last year and never had anyone else park in it. As for safety, I'm a young woman and I walked around outside at all hours. Never had any problems. I didn't even bother locking my door when I was just going to the restroom. As far as I know, nobody was robbed while I lived there. Some of the tenants hung out on the steps to smoke, which I guess could look scary to some people at night, but they were always polite. I only had a couple of small problems, which are normal in apartment buildings in my experience. The smoke alarms went off every few months, usually in the middle of the night. It usually took around half an hour to get them turned off, since the fire department had to come and confirm there wasn't a fire. The building's heat was set high, so I was sometimes too hot in winter and had to open the window. I also kept my own heater turned off a lot of the time, which saved electricity. When I lived on the first floor, anyone in the parking lot could see right in, so I kept the blinds closed most of the time. The first floor apartment also smelled a bit, though I probably should have aired it out more often. I would recommend living on a higher floor. There was some noise because the building was near the hospital and the train tracks. It didn't bother me but I'm good at tuning things out.

BUYER BEWARE! This company is a scam. Please see the "quality" of their work in the pictures below…read moreand decide for yourself. The job was subpar. The employee from KBD who came and finished the job for us and fix the mess left by Henry's Painting & Contracting was appalled by what he saw. They used PARTICLE BOARD to build our cupboards! Their crew left a pile of their trash on our deck for us to clean up. They also ruined my step stool when they left it covered in paint, because apparently they couldn't bring their own step stool??? They were supposed to replace my step stool and of course that didn't happen. They have removed my pictures before so I am posting them again so others can see for themselves and make a well informed decision about if they want to give their hard earned money to this unscrupulous company. Lastly, after all the delays, lies and poor work, they kept $7500 of our money that we paid in advance for the kitchen remodel which they refused to finish. That is how horribly this company treats its customers.
