"The service was excellent. Talking to Gregg on the phone made me feel informed and in control of the process. He outlined all of my options for windshield repair and was able to schedule the replacement at my next convenient opportunity.
He arrived on time and replaced the windshield quickly and professionally. He was very experienced and has been doing windshield repair since 1979. While I certainly would have trusted him to complete the process on his own, I actually ended up watching him complete the process and chatting with him. He's an interesting guy with a lot of character.
I was so pleased with the service that I passed the recommendation on to my AAA agent and will be writing positive reviews here and elsewhere on the web.

"They did a good job. I picked up the door somewhere else. Cady Handyman Services installed it for me. They were on time. We will use this company again in the future."

"I was not happy at that moment when I saw the price. I pay $125 expecting a little more because I kind of knew there should been some put in parts right but I didn't expect $600 for repairing so I was not happy. But it turned out we made agreement they came over he did come over here to install the new system I mean it turned out okay."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"Hal is quirky and sometimes hard to keep in contact with. It took a while to arrange everything. I say this because you may well encounter the same issue if you use him. Despite that it was worth it, so I offer it as a warning but also encouragement to be persistent anyway.
We used Hal before. When we wanted to add another section of fence we had some designs I wanted to build myself, but I loathe putting in posts. We contacted several fencing contractors, looking just for putting in posts. Quite a few were completely uninterested in the job, either evidenced by never following through on an estimate, or giving us absurdly high quotes. Everyone else was more expensive than Hal ? it's hard to say by exactly how much, since they were quoting slightly different jobs, but I think 50% more expensive or more.
Talking to Hal we decided to have him build the entire outside of the fence; for sound insulation we would later add an inner layer, insulation between the layers, and a sort of built-in planter and bench. I would have felt comfortable with Hal doing that part too, but actually explaining what I wanted (and deciding what I wanted) seemed too complex, so I had decided early on to do most of that myself.
Since we knew we needed a bunch of extra lumber, that should match what Hal was using, we asked him about it, and he was happy to order extra wood and deliver it with the rest of the supplies. I didn't expect him to plane the wood and use a router on the edges, but he did, which is great. It makes the fence look far better than if it was using wood straight from the lumberyard. He even softens the edges of the posts.

"From the first contact to the last, dealing with GCM was fantastic! I put a job up for bid with four contractors that I found on Angie's List, and they were very prompt in contacting me - not quick enough to show they didn't have enough to do but not so long that it appeared they had too much on their plate.
I set up an appointment to meet with Ben Meints to come out and look at what (I thought) needed to be fixed. He arrived promptly and was professional and personable throughout the entire appointment. We covered my initial concerns, and then proceeded to look at each area of repair. One of the big problems was potential interior water damage due to several leaks in a pair of windows and the basement area almost directly below the window. After having dealt with many contractors over the years, the level of attention to detail in his examination of the problem areas showed through. He was able to get to the true source of the problems by asking questions about what I was seeing, as well as looking at other factors and really just keeping his eyes open. Best example of this was when talking about the back deck, he started asking about the materials, any water issues around the sliding door and the basement area below it. What I thought was an issue with pest damage (the subfloor between the main floor and basement had been chewed through by mice) turned out really to be an issue with the flashing and j-channel between the deck and the house. Long story short, Ben was able to determine that the repairs that were truly needed were not as extensive as I thought they would be, and based his recommendations on what was needed to repair the damage and stop further damage to those affected areas. I was initially thinking in terms of tens of thousands of dollars to repair the damage, and was relieved and pleasantly surprised when the estimate came in at a fraction of that.
When the work was to begin, Ben and the crew (Zach and Tom) showed up promptly. (They actually showed up earlier than I thought they would, which was a pleasant surprise.) The repairs went off without a hitch, and their pride in their work showed through. They were also respectful of the fact that my wife was working from home that day, and made sure they had minimal impact on her work. While all of the work couldn't be completed in one day, they got more done than I thought they would, and it was done well. They updated my wife on the progress before they began to clean up and prepare to leave, as I was still at work. I walked in just as they finished updating my wife on the progress, and they still took the time to go over the repairs with me and show me what had been completed and the remaining work to be done. When it became apparent that the weather would not allow them to complete the repairs the next day, Zach let me know he would return the next day the weather wouldn't interfere. He and Tom returned the following day, and the repairs were completed as promised.
In all honesty, I contacted GCM because the general contractor I normally used was unavailable, and I needed the repairs done before the damage got worse and winter set in. After working with GCM, I think I have found a new first option for general contractors. They take very good care of their customers from start to finish, and I would recommend them to anyone.

"Paul responded very quickly to our initial request for a visit and was very patient answering the many questions we had during the bidding process. We solicited three bids and Paul's was the winner from a price and value for service perspective. Paul is very easy to work with and we just liked his personality. That played a big part in the decision. The work done is gorgeous. Removing the popcorn ceilings in the lower level and replacing with knockdown was a terrific move. I haven't found a flaw in them yet! Paul made sure all work was done in the time frame we gave him even working until late one evening to make sure painting was done before carpet installers were scheduled the following day. If we were to need more work of this kind again I would definitely give Paul a call."

"I called Twin Cities Electric Inc. after receiving another quote for the same job that was about $900 higher than what Twin Cities Electric offered. Ted, of Twin Cities Electric, showed up the next day to provide a quote in writing and we offered to do the work a day or two later. Because of scheduling conflicts, Ted and another man came out to do the job less than a week later.
The job was completed in about five hours. Ted was easy to work with and offered a very fair price for the job. The only ding would be that the employee who helped him with the job showed up smelling strongly of cigarette smoke, but fortunately, that didn't linger after the job was completed.
