Fitz Rite Home Improvement

Buyer Beware! Very mismanaged "company". Work is not completed on schedule. Owner does not pay his sub-contractors which could leave you stuck with the bill. The work performed was very nice, the the headaches were not worth the finished product.

This person is not a company, has no license and no bond.  He met with us several times, drew up a contract, brought a designer to our home from Granite and More in Bettendorf.  Kitchen remodel was suppose to total estimate $35K.  He took a check for $18,666.93 as a down payment per contract for payment on cabinets and granite.  He also took $6,400 check for installment #1 of 3 as job progressed.  They strung out the job for 6 weeks and in the end we found out he never paid anything for our cabinets or granite.  We are out $18k for both.  We have had some wiring and plumbing done but to my knowledge he has not paid the subs.  He admitted to using our money for a personal bill and had applied for a small business loan which was never approved.  His business cards, website ect......are all full of lies.  We have hired and attorney and filed police report.  PLEASE save yourself and your family heartache and $$$ and do not contact this contractor for work.  HE IS NOT LEGIT.  DIG deeper then his flashy business card and lies. Look up his personal info too.  Kevin D Fitzwater.  Iowa courts online has a lot of info. He also is not in Davenport.  He works from his home in Illinois at 1917 11th Street Rock Island.  So this address in Davenport is not legit.
