Get matched with top addition and remodeling pros in Stillwater, MN

"I have worked with Ben and Staci from Handy Rite 4-5 times now and always had great experiences. We have had woodpecker and weather damage to various parts of the cedar siding on our home spanning the past 3-4 years. The work involves removing the damaged siding, cutting new pieces and painting/replacing the cedar onto the house. In addition, just within the past week, Ben also came out with Vlad from his team to paint the front exterior of our home. As usual, the work was very high quality and the pricing definitely fair for the value we receive. Overall, Ben and Staci focus upon a great overall experience from handing inquiries and estimates through completing the work with high quality. Both of them are very personable and easy to work with, as is all of their staff we have interacted with for the past couple of years on various projects. I would highly recommend them to anyone, and we plan to use them again for some additional remodeling projects on the inside of our home in the next couple of months."

"Overall the project went "good". We are still waiting to hear back on a "fix" that is needed. It has been weeks now, so I anticipate we will have to fix it ourselves. I was waiting for a completed project before I wrote this review, but I believe based on no feedback that they feel this project is completed, and we need to do our own repair (which would be okay if they told us what to do, and closed the loop on the project). The big stuff was done very well--the fireplace insert and most of the brick work. They did come back to fix small issues: TV cable (they picked the wrong one, and had to bust out the wall a second time), the slate on the floor had to be touched up (a bubble in the grout), and the grout around the insert had to be painted (it was cement color and stood out like a sore thumb. I am not sure if there was colored grout that would have worked better, but we had cement color and the fireplace/brick is brown). I asked for the color of the paint they used for future touch up, but I have not received a response (so much time has past that I don't think I will).
The outstanding issue is a brick pc had a noticeable gap in it, and it was in a highly visible spot in a corner and easily accessible (it was really one piece and looked easy to us to fix by their professional). We were told by the brick person it could be fixed (but sounded like a big deal), and then we were told by the general contractor that it was a manufacturers defect in the brick piece, and we would have to pay $350 for repair. We had to uncomfortably push back (they should have picked a different piece of brick was our thought). Once the brick piece was loosened, it was VERY easy to see that it was a VERY easy fix...re-position it, and glue it back on somehow. Right now, it is sitting in position, but not glued in place. we will seek advice on what product to use to glue it in place. Then the project will be completed. Besides the fixable issues, the only cosmetic regret is the way the corner turned out. it is near a wrap around wall, and I envisioned that the brick would slightly wrap the wall, but it didn't, which now leaves me with a very very small piece of wall to paint someday - I suppose we will use a very very tiny brush and a steady hand. Finally, I was looking for a general contractor to partner with on several other upcoming projects (bathroom remodels, etc)...I am not sure yet if I would contact Carter Custom. I really felt like I was a bother, and we had to stay on top of the details. Perhaps we are too small of a customer for their line of business. 
Overall I wish them well, and their people are very nice. The overall value (price verses quality) was out of proportion due to the attention to detail and follow up (I paid close to $15,000 for a fireplace, and that didn't include the 60" TV)."

"From the planning/design stage to the finished product, the kitchen remodel by West End Kitchens went smoothly. We especially appreciated the quality and professionalism of the cabinetry, electrical and other other subcontractors. Anna from West End Kitchens guided us through all phases of the project even accommodating last minute changes we made without the least bit of hesitation. We never felt inconvenienced or unexpectedly charged for anything."

"Jim (owner of Emerald Remodeling) came up with a great visual of what our garage add-on addition project would look like that none of the other contractors we solicited provided. As the project progressed, Jim kept us appraised as to what would happen and when to expect start and finish of each phase (cement work, framing, roofing & siding). No issues with the subcontractors for each phase. Jim returned our calls or text messages in a timely manner and paid us a follow-up visit a week after project was completed."

"SCS Builders & Remodelers and crew did a great job of replacing specific cedar siding boards on our home while other contractors were only interested in residing our entire home. I would hire SCS in the future for any further remodeling needs. Great company to work with."

"The remodeling went very well. It was completed on the day it was promised. The quality of work is very good. Now I don't have to worry that there maybe water leak on the wall. Ariel was here everyday to oversee the work; his crews are very professional."

"The project took about 6 hours to complete over 2 days. The workers skillfully and efficiently installed our marble subway tiles and politely checked in with us while working to confirm our expectations for the installation. Overall, we're beyond pleased with the results. Before we hired PROFI LLC, we had most of our kitchen remodeled (new counter top, cabinetry, appliances, but same floor tiling). The impact of having an almost entirely new kitchen was already pretty great, but the addition of the back-splash left us awestruck; it made a huge impression all of its own that was the perfect finishing touch to our whole kitchen remodeling project."

"Overall, I really enjoyed working with Great Lakes. I had the same two guys come out and install my bathroom (Hassan and Mike). The remodel took 3 days. They were professional and courteous; on time and cleaned up the area every night. Hassan kept me in the loop for changes and asked for my opinions when it came to placing certain pieces in the shower. My only complaint would be in communication between Great Lakes home office. After my consultation, I was told I would receive samples of the vanity color and countertop (for painting) which didn't happen & the person I was to contact had left the company so my emails were not getting through and I had to contact the office and explain my issue. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this company to my family and friends."

"Always quality work and reasonably priced. When I had issues with a bathroom remodel a few years later, they made it right and took care of the work that needed to be done."
