Looking for Reliable Contractors in Kansas City – Experience with Out-of-Town Investr

[Varun Chawla]

Hi all,
I’m an out-of-state investor with rental properties in Kansas City (mostly multifamily-LTRs), and I’m currently looking for a reliable contractor or GC to help with a couple of upcoming projects—one full rehab and one light cosmetic.

So far, my experience with local contractors has been mixed at best—poor communication, inconsistent timelines, cost overruns, and some quality issues. I’d love to hear any personal recommendations for:

✅ Reliable and timely work – sticks to scope and schedule
✅ Transparent with bids and change orders
✅ Good communicator – responds to texts/calls/emails regularly
✅ Comfortable sending regular progress pics/updates)
✅ Licensed, insured, and has subs or a team for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc.
✅ Ideally someone who has worked with out-of-town investors and understands remote project management

Bonus if they’ve worked in KCMO, Independence, or Raytown areas specifically.

If you’ve had a good experience with someone, I’d really appreciate their name and contact info—or feel free to DM me directly. Thanks in advance!
