Hired them to rehab my house after storm damage. They were timely and did excellent work.

The best place I’ve lived in Cincinnati. Clean, quiet and issues are resolved promptly

Lived here for years now, its pretty quiet and the landlord has taken care of any apartment service issues I've had quickly.

Great experience from start to finish. Budget and timeline management, a professional team of tradesmen, qualityu checks during the project, and great overall communication during our renovation. Thanks R.I.R. Team!

I’ve lived with Rock Island Reality for going on two years! They have always been fair and considerate. They are on top of their maintenance and take excellent care of their properties! I’ve lived at two! Great place!

Top-notch knowledgeable organization. No stone left unturned and all questions answered. In fact, they are very upfront about all aspects relating to buying, renting and even renovating. Rock Island is my go-to for all my housing needs!

Rock Island Realty renovated an addition on the back of my house; turning a mostly unusable space into a lovely screened in porch. The project manager was very responsive and went above and beyond to resolve unexpected issues (renovating old houses is always more complicated than anticipated) to my satisfaction.

Craig and his team at Rock Island are the best! Our basement flooded during a recent big storm -- Craig and plumber were over within the hour to help stop, assess, and fix. Wise counsel, great work, good people.

RIR built a stage for events on our patio at our retail location in Northside. Great communication before, during, and after the project from them. Team of guys came out and executed install flawlessly and they even took the time to properly clean up the area after the project was finished. A few months later a board split on the top (not from their craftsmanship, but small children jumping up and down on the stage) and Craig personally came out and repaired the piece...free of charge. Highly recommended.

It’s nice living in Hamilton Ave the apartments are clean and pest free

My partner and I were new to Cincinnati. So, we were nervous about buying a house in the right neighborhood. And the process didn't go smoothly until we fell in love with an American Four Square house in Northside. The founder of Rock Island Realty took care to answer all our concerns and walked us through the house buying process — and continued to help us fix any issues that arose after we moved in.

Our new home was renovated by Rock Island Realty, including replacing the knob and tube wiring and cast iron plumbing with modern upgrades. The coal fireplaces and original tile have been preserved, along with the original hardware and hardwood. (Thankfully the beautiful red oak was never painted.) Plus the kitchen and bathrooms were upgraded to modern standards. By eliminating a hallway to the basement, not only did we get an extra guest bathroom, we got a big, functional kitchen with a gas stove and big sink — perfect for the foodie cook. My partner loves the new third-floor bathroom. It's like a spa! And, we love the landscape which was intentionally planted with lots of flowers and trees to help our pollinators.

But best of all about Rock Island Realty, that continues to impress us to this day, is that they are not only renovating houses — they are renovating communities. We have watched our neighborhood continual improve. We feel like bought a whole neighborhood!

Our relationship with Colleen at Rock Island Realty began in July 2023. Our experience was everything we could have asked for. Even when things went left, she remained in pocket to answer any inquiries and always responded within the hour. A few times conducting tasks she really didn't have to. Though her plate is likely full of other buyers, she took the time to answer questions and work us through the process. Weeks after the sale she has continued to make herself available to inquiries. I hope our relationship continues beyond the purchase of our place in the Ozarks. It's always a pleasure speaking with her.

We have been with Rock Island Realty for over 4 years now and we have nothing but good things to say about Lisa and the team. Our beautiful apartment is affordable and well kept. We love that Lisa gives us the freedom to have a garden in the backyard. We also really appreciate how Lisa sees our pets as part of the family and welcomes them with no additional charge. Whenever there is a maintenance concern, the Rock Island Realty team keeps us updated and quickly fixes the situation. We highly recommend Rock Island Realty.

I hired Rock Island to demo and re-frame the interior of a house that's undergoing a full renovation. I couldn't be happier with the results. Craig, Lisa and their team are true professionals. They are experienced, talented and efficient. I would not hesitate to use them again.

I have had many dealings with Rock Island over several years, all positive experiences. I have utilized their construction and remodeling services on some complex projects. Their staff has always operated in a professional manner in our dealings. I have found their CEO Lisa to be nothing but honest and ethical. I have seen how this business has impacted my community in such a positive way. I would definitely recommend Rock Island for any of your construction or rental needs.
