What Our Clients Are Saying

“… Eric Schmitt has been good to work with. He is polite, professional and personable. Submittals were well organized and timely. Eric looked ahead and asked to coordinate with others. He saw some problems ahead of time and drew attention to them early. I am not used to seeing the level of planning and coordination I have seen here in a subcontractor. Please share these comments with everyone at Rapids—we truly value our relationship with you.”

In all my experiences with foodservice contractors, Rapids has proven to be the most proficient and professional. Both projects had to be completed this past summer with training taking place prior to school starting. Equipment installation happened when they said it would, training was scheduled with all manufacturer representatives, school kitchens opened as promised, and punch list items were taken care of in a timely manner. during the entire project, the Contract and Design Specialist and Project Coordinator handled all matters very professionally…”
