"I was not ready to hire. Will reengage with them once I get back to town."

"I called Scott in February to look at what I thought might be a leak in the kitchen. He came the next day, diagnosed the problem and helped me trade out some light fixtures in my bathroom and living room while he was there! After I discovered the leak repairs would require me to pull out my whole kitchen - and had a bad experience with a bully of a contractor sent out by my insurance company, I called Scott again to see if he could help. He came right away, and took care of the kitchen cabinet demo and hauling, replacing the sheetrock, and painting and cleaning up the kitchen so it would be ready for the cabinet installation. I decided to upgrade my bathroom at the same time as getting the kitchen done. Scott was able to fit in the work to coincide with my kitchen work. He took care of demoing the bathroom and hauling everything out, fixed up the walls, painted and tiled the floor. He also replaced my old, cheap doors/frames with updated ones and painted the rest of my hallway and living room while he was working in the bathroom. He was super fast and professional, always laying out all the options and price points before we started any of the work. In short, Scott is the best and will be my first call from now on!"

"Excellent! He arrived very quickly, repaired our door, and was very reasonable with pricing. Will definitely hire again!"

"Allen came to our house to review our project. We thought our project was going to be fairly simple and replace some grout and caulk. Allen informed us that we had a much larger issue that he could not fix. Even though he could not fix it, Allen was very knowledgeable on why we were having this specific issue and how to fix it the right way. Allen educated us, sent us an email with a references to certified tile setters, how to ask the right questions when picking your tile setter contractor and videos to educate us even further. Allen is a professional, patient and courteous. He could have easily came into our house and said, “I can’t help you” and went on his way. Instead, he spent 20-30 minutes with us. If I ever get the chance to use Allen as a contractor, I will definitely be calling him!"

"Larry was meticulous. He took his time with every detail and was precise. I will hire him again when I need handyman work or remodeling."

Arrived on site at appointed time. Explained procedure and when there would be loud noise from tools.

Prepared door frame for larger door. Installed new door with lever handles. Periodically updated us on progress.

Took normal break and lunch. Informed us when leaving and when returning.

Finished product was so well done that you could not tell the floor transition to LR from BR wasn't re-done.

The new door and hardware was elegant and, and the rooms in the work area were cleaned of any construction residue.

Work crew was very quiet and polite.

Used this company for ramp (wheelchair) in garage 6 months ago with similar results.

This is why we will use them again.

"The cleaning was alright--always a different crew, some better than others. But they did show up reliably on service dates--though never on the same schedule so I couldn't plan around them. My concern was customer service. The staff persistently shared strong political views even when I made it clear (politely) that I did not share their opinions. Found it especially disturbing that they would be vocally anti-immigrant given so many their employees were, indeed, immigrants. Not professional--or polite or respectful. I decided to take my business elsewhere."

"Wellington showed up as scheduled for me to choose a door. The door was special ordered so it took a while for delivery. Once received, installation was prompt and professional."

"Hal's work is top-notch but I grew increasingly frustrated with the timing and inconsistency of his work habits. His was one of several estimates I received and basically he said he would beat any estimate I received. The difference is that everyone else was going to use cedar and he only works with pressure-treated Southern yellow pine, which is less than half the cost of cedar. I was unsure of the durability and longevity of that product so I did extensive research online. Still unsure, I drive around the Twin Cities to see other jobs Hal did that gave stood the test of time and I decided to move forward. Clearly, the way he builds his fences require considerably more manual labor than those built with cedar posts and pickets so essentially instead of paying for the higher cost of cedar, you pay for increased labor costs. Unfortunately, Hal isn't as going as predicting when he will get jobs complete as he is completing them well. He was over a month late in getting started and I repeatedly had to call him to inquire about the delay. It was quite frustrating but since I didn't absolutely need the fence done by a certain date, I decided to practice patience. Once he finally started, most days he and his helper only worked 4 hours so the project dragged on far longer than I thought it would. Admittedly, there were a couple of weather-related days but other times when it was a perfect day, they wouldn't show up and I would give no idea when they were coming again. After I told him I really needed to have him be more communicative, he was and within a short time after that conversation, he completed the fence. The fence is beautiful and appears very sturdy. We'll see how it withstands time and weather but for now I am very happy with it. Hal does beautiful work but if you are on a strict timeline I would not recommend working with him. If you are flexible and don't mind putting more effort into communication, he is a great person to work with.
