How to choose the best all other specialty trade contractors in Des Moines

Iowa does not rate or rank contractors, and neither do we. The 130 registered all other specialty trade contractors listed on this page (current as of November 2026) are the complete State registry for Des Moines, shown without any quality ranking. “Best” is not a list you can look up; it is the contractor who is right for your job. Here is the method the pros’ own trade associations recommend for finding them:

  1. 1. Start from the complete list. Every business above holds a current State registration, and nobody pays to be included. Premiere members appear first, marked with the gold check. That is placement, not a rating. Shortlist three or four whose location and trade fit your project.
  2. 2. Confirm the registration is active. Check each one on the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing’s official portal (verify a registration ↗). Every profile here links to the State’s own record so you can check it in one click.
  3. 3. Get current proof of insurance. Ask for a certificate of general liability and workers’ compensation. Never let uninsured work start on your property.
  4. 4. Get at least three written, itemized bids. Compare the same scope apples-to-apples. Be wary of a bid far below the rest. It usually hides missing scope or “surprise” costs later.
  5. 5. Check references and recent local work, then put the full scope, price, milestone payment schedule, and warranty in a written contract before anyone starts. Never pay the full amount up front.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the best registered all other specialty trade contractors in Des Moines, Iowa?

Iowa does not rate or rank contractors, so there is no official "best registered all other specialty trade contractors" list. This directory shows all 130 registered all other specialty trade contractors the State lists in Des Moines, Iowa. Premiere members appear first, marked with the gold check. Owner-verified listings follow, then listings with published business details, then everyone else, alphabetical within each group. Nobody is ranked by quality. To choose one for your project, confirm the registration is active, ask for current proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation (and, for a licensed trade, a current State trade license), and compare written itemized bids. Registration and advertising placement do not establish quality.

How many registered all other specialty trade contractors are there in Des Moines, Iowa?

As of November 2026, the State of Iowa lists 130 registered all other specialty trade contractors in Des Moines, Iowa. This directory shows all of them. It is the complete public registry, and nobody can pay to be added or left out.

Is a registered contractor the same as a licensed contractor?

No. Iowa requires most construction contractors to register with the State (Iowa Code ch. 91C), but registration is not a license, an endorsement, or a guarantee of quality, insurance, or bonding. It confirms only that the business filed a current registration with the State.

How do I verify a contractor's Iowa registration?

Look up the registration number on the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing's official portal (https://laborportal.iwd.iowa.gov/iwd_portal/). Every profile in this directory links to the State's own record so you can confirm it independently. See the step-by-step guide at https://contractiowa.com/verify.

Are these contractors insured or bonded?

Registration does not verify insurance or bonding. Always ask a contractor for current proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation, and get at least three written bids, before you hire.

Where does this data come from and how current is it?

It comes directly from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing's public "Active Iowa Construction Contractor Registrations" record, last exported November 2026. You can read how this directory is built and download the underlying dataset.
