"Kestner Construction built us a brand new three season porch in 2020. This was a complex project that also included an extra integrated deck on the second story. I was very impressed with the build quality and attention to detail. Ryan took the time to walk us through each aspect not just at the start but also during the build itself, suggesting thoughtful improvements as we progressed. We were so satisfied that we brought him back the following year to build a new shed. Highly recommended!"

Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning of St Paul MN has been family owned and operated for over 16 years. We serve the Twin Cities Metro and Western Wisconsin areas, and we provide quality, reliable services at affordable rates.
"I had them out a few years ago to do $650.00 in tuck-pointing on my chimney since it was causing water intrusion into my basement. Their work started failing at the end of 2024 so I called them to see how much they stand behind their work and if they can at least inspect it to see what other issues the chimney may have. They never called or emailed me back so it all felt like a scam for them to get some quick cash with a half-hearted ‘fix’ when they did the tuck-pointing."

"I first met Jeff Moore of Capital Siding, Windows and Roofing in 2018. It was time to reroof my 110+ year-old house (that has more hips and angles than a fashion show) and I wanted to do it right. I took 5 bids (6 if you count the company that was a no-show) and ended up with a range of bids that varied by nearly $20,000. Capital came in near the midpoint of the bids but it wasn't the price that sold me - it was the care they put into their bid and the feeling I got from Jeff and, later, his son Danny. They included more detail than any of the other companies I considered and I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with Jeff over the course of a couple of weeks where he answered all of my questions and explained all of my options. Jeff struck me right from the start as an earnest, straight-up guy who was giving me his best offer. No posturing, no pressure, just a good offer and a good feeling. Undertaking a major project on my house, my biggest asset, was stressful. I was worried about everything. Is this a fair price? Is this the right company? Will the crew stay on schedule? Will they damage the property with their equipment? Do I have any idea what I am doing? Ultimately, you have to make a decision and for me, that's usually going with a gut feeling. My gut said Capital so I signed the contract. Once work got underway, Azael, Jeff's primary crew chief, was on site every day. He's a great guy, easy to talk to, always with a smile and a laugh. The crew did their work, cleaned up every day, and kept the materials organized. Couldn't ask for more. Jeff and Danny came out several times during the project and we spoke by phone regularly. Calls were usually returned the same day and always by the next day. Changes (like my decision to add gutter covers) were handled clearly and easily and there were no financial surprises at all. They did an excellent job. If I could do it again, would I choose Capital? Wellllll...yes. In fact, I did! In August of 2023, while I was out of town with my family, our house got walloped by the big hail storm that rolled through Minneapolis. By the time we got home a week later, work had already started on 4 houses on my block. My first call was to Capital and they came out a day later. My beautiful roof and old siding had taken major damage. Danny and one of the roofing crew walked every inch of my roof and took over 100 pictures. The damage was significant but the integrity of the roof was intact. Because of the severity of the storm, Jeff was booked until very late in the season so we decided to push it until the spring of 2024. That turned out to be a good decision as I spent a good portion of the winter arguing with my insurance company. Every time they sent an adjuster or someone to take pictures or get a materials sample, one of Jeff's team was present. I finally got things sorted out with insurance, spring arrived, and Oscar, Capital's other crew chief who is just as approachable and friendly and great as Azael, came out with his guys and got going. They did another beautiful job on the roof and the siding is just fantastic. They did tons of hand-bent aluminum work to mimic the architectural detail my insurance wouldn't cover. I think it looks better than it did originally. My wife and I are completely happy with the work and love with the way our house looks now. Total satisfaction with two excellent jobs six years apart is no fluke. Capital is as solid as they come and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks again to Jeff, Danny, Mike, Azael, Oscar, and everyone at Capital. - Tim in Minneapolis"

Trim is the catch-all term for the boards that finish off transitions around doors, windows, floors, and ceilings. Molding is a subset of trim—often more ornate—that adds visual flair where two surfaces meet. In other words, every molding is trim, but plenty of trim (like simple baseboards or door casings) isn’t considered molding because it focuses on function over decoration.
Painting trim before installation keeps drips off your walls and floors, but you’ll still need to fill nail holes and touch up later. Painting after installation eliminates most of that touch-up work, yet it requires careful taping to protect surrounding surfaces. Both options work; choose the one that best fits your schedule and comfort level with prep tasks.
Glue speeds up installation and skips the hassle of filling nail holes, but removal later can tear up drywall, and warped boards are harder to fix. Nails take a bit longer, yet they hold trim securely and make future repairs simpler. Most pros stick with nails for a durable, professional-looking finish.
