Minnesota Building Contractors

We found MN Building Contractors at the Rochester home show. The bid was comparable to the 8 contractors who bid. Bill offered suggestions and options we felt would improve the overall appearance, which is why we choose him. We had new windows, storm doors, siding, facia, soffit and gutter installed. His crews were professional, on time and did excellent work and cleaned up very well. Everything was completed in a timely manor. There were a few minor issues Bill addressed quickly and personally. Bill communicated well from bidding to completion, so we always knew what and who to expect and when. Working with Bill was like working with a friend. I would strongly suggest him as your next contractor.

Our 30-year-old sliding patio door was sticking in its track and not latching shut. Bill removed the door, cleaned years of dust and grime from the track and channel, thoroughly cleaned and lubricated the tracking wheels and wheel housing, and then carefully adjusted the wheels to get the door perfectly snug and smooth-rolling. We’ll go with Minnesota Building Contractors if we ever need new windows, siding, or roofing, because Bill is everything you want in a contractor: skillful and thorough. We are really happy.

I was having water intrusion issues on my second story and wasn’t quite sure what the cause was - old wood soffit and fascia needing to be replaced, incorrectly installed drip edge, poorly installed roofing or all the above. Bill took the time to listen to my concerns and review the home thoroughly. He has also done this for me in the past when other issues have come up, with zero pressure to use his business. Bill came up with a plan to address all of the issues, without price gouging. His team did a wonderful job bringing the character and charm back to the home by replacing the wood soffit and fascia to maintenance free, replacing the wood gables to maintenance free shaker siding, replacing the drip edge and addressing the roofing issues causing the water issue. I couldn’t be happier with the results and will definitely use them again for future projects!

Update to original review: When I hired MBC to roof & side my home, the owner, Bill Ferrie, forgot to tell me to take loose items off my walls before they replaced siding. I came home to find a wooden bird carving my husband bought me laying on the floor & broken. Workers were still outside working on siding when I saw someone that appeared to be checking on crew so I introduced myself and learned he was the owner's son. I mentioned to him what happened and didn't expect anything to come of our brief talk; just wanted someone to be aware. However, later that evening Bill called me to discuss what happened. The next day, he came to my home to see the damaged carving. He offered me a reasonable credit on bill to compensate for the broken carving. Then he asked if he could take the pieces with him to see if he could find someone that could repair it. He did find someone & the carving has been restored beautifully. This company not only did an excellent job on roof & siding, but the owner displays integrity & outstanding customer service. JD & Bill both very quick to respond with answers to my questions. Roofing crew did great job with clean-up before leaving my home.

Minnesota Building Contractors was a great choice for our roof replacement. JD and his team were quick and courteous and did a phenomenal job from start to finish. We needed some mold taken care of on the inside beams and they went above and beyond to clean that up for us as well. I would absolutely recommend them!

We had some hail damage in the area and noticed neighbors getting new roofs, so I wanted an honest opinion on the condition of our roof and windows. I met Bill at the Home Show and asked if he can come give me his opinions on my roof and windows. Bill came out, made a quick and easy repair to one of our windows, and thoroughly inspected both the roof and windows. He was honest and told us everything was in good shape and didn’t need replacing. Really appreciated the honesty and professionalism—highly recommend! – Shane Rochester, MN
