"Another great experience with Cady's. We have been pleased with their multiple skills and services. I had a four-repair list for them to do, and one of them, a leaky bathtub faucet, became a priority when the faucet finally wouldn't turn shut. I called at 7 a.m. and was able to get service by at 10:00. Ben tended to the worst leak first, and when he found out we needed a replacement stem, we worked it so I could fetch the part while he did the other tasks. Great communication when I discovered the first specialty plumbing store didn't have the needed part; he directed me to another store. He fixed leaks in two faucets (one indoor, one out), leveled a "creeping" bedroom door, and caulked woodpecker holes in our cedar shakes in about an hour and a half. He kept me aware of his progress and diagnoses, and we discussed methods for dealing with woodpecker-caused siding damage."

"This company has treated me well, especially Mike Museus, who worked over a year (last summer and this spring) to find out why there was a fluid leak in my new AC unit. The leak didn't affect the cooling of my home so I wasn't concerned, but Mike was persistent, even to returning finally with an "expert" to help diagnose the problem. What they found was that the A-coil above the furnace was full of tiny pinholes. On the day this was to be replaced, Steve came before 9 a.m. to remove the defective A-Coil and install the new one. He worked on it all day, without lunch or a break, leaving shortly after 5 p.m. There was no charge, as it was still under warranty. With all that, he still took the time to explain to me why the replacement was so important: that the defective A-Coil could eventually leak enough to damage the furnace below it. Because he was using solder, I believe, to install the new part, he turned on the ceiling fan in the adjacent room to mitigate the fumes. My only complaint is that a few of my vinyl floor tiles were damaged/discolored by the soldering process. That part of the flooring has had water damage before and is missing a few tiles so, after a day of hard work, he may have attributed the damage to work done before. It's not a big deal; I just wish he'd have said something. I have to hand it to Steve, though; he was working by himself, which frequently required him to leave the furnace area to check the outdoor AC unit, then rush back to the indoor work. I think it might have been a two-person job. At least, an assistant could have facilitated some of the work done."

My new garage/shed was finished approximately one year after I signed the contract with Heinen.  He did a good job of designing the garage (in his head; no drawings) in a way that was economical and works.  Greg Heinen is very personable and generally easy to talk to.  We talked over options and worked through questions and decided on a final design.  My dissatisfaction mostly arises from the length of time it took to finish the work and the difficulty I had in knowing what was going on with the construction schedule. 

Problems started (at least in part) due to heavy rains in June of 2014, which seemed to get everything delayed for months.  I also now (in hindsight) think that because Greg is a relatively small general contractor who works with a number of subcontractors, the delays were due to the availability of many of his subs.  The original start date was to be June of 2014, then pushed back to late July, and then he couldn't give me a date and stopped communicating with me. A crew finally came to demolish the existing garage in late September.  The general pattern was that Greg would tell me when crews would be out, more often than not the crew would not show up on that day, and I would get a series of promised start dates that also did not happen.  Construction continued sporadically in this manner through October and November, and in December I had a garage that was usable (although without electricity except via extension cord).  This spring they finished up with a new driveway (the first was incorrectly put in) and the electrical hook-up.  Some of what I wanted for the garage/shed did not occur and I had to decide whether it was more important to get the garage done or to get it done in accordance with the contract.  Because it was so late in the year, I generally decided on getting things done.  The item that I am most unhappy with is the eave depth. They were supposed to be 18" but wound up being only 12".  Since the roof trusses. were brought onsite pre-constructed, I didn't realize the depth was off until they and the walls were up  so I could measure.  By that time it was late October or November and I needed a garage for the winter.

In general, my experience with the subs is that a few of them showed up when they were supposed to and worked full days, but more of them seemed to show up about 10 a.m. and leave about 3 p.m.  One crew of two showed up at 10 and I saw one of the guys standing around for two hours.  He said they had thought nails would be there, but the right kind of nails weren't there, so the other guy had to get them.  So, it took this guy 2 hours to get the nails (!) and then they left at 3.  On the other hand, the crews that did the framing and put in the second driveway did an excellent job, and the garage and shed function well.  I wonder if part of the problem is that Greg trusts his subs and some of them take advantage of that. Greg seldom came out to see how things were going and seemed to just ask the subs what was going on and simply take their word for it.

In summary, I got the garage and shed we discussed (with the exception of a few items which Greg readily removed from the final cost) and am happy with how it works.  The process of getting the garage, however, is not one I'd like to go through again.

"Paul and his partner were great to work with, they arrived at exactly the time agreed upon and worked tirelssly, no breaks moving quickly from one project to the next for 5 straight hours. Although DIY home repairs is not their primary work (carpentry) they took it all on and completed more than I expected to get done in this period of time.
They were completely professional, did quality work and were easy to work with. Paul was very open about not doing work he was not licensed for - plumbing and electrical, but provided advice on how work could be done. 
I will use Paul and his team again and would highly recommend him to others!

"The first guy that came out misdiagnosed the problem.  We had to have them come out again.  He didn't charge us, and did the correct repair.  They were OK with pricing.  Most repair places don't apply the service call charge to the repair charge, but Sears did.  The first person I talked to on the phone didn't know what she was talking about.  That call was very challenging, possibly because of a language barrier.  I would use them again."

"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.

"We are very pleased with the work performed by Twin Cities Electric. We added a kitchen island and in the process needed a bunch of electrical work done. We didn't plan out the electrical and needed them to come out on short notice. They were able to come out the week before Thanksgiving to get phase I done, thankfully, so we were able to get the rest of the construction done over the long weekend and be ready for phase II.
They did everything we wanted and helped with some of the decisions. Like placement of the can lights... who knew you shouldn't put them right over the working areas... them, not me! :)
These guys do the extras like cleaning up and preventing big messes.
They were out here last year doing a bunch of work and there wasn't a questions that we were calling them back to help with this project.  Thanks for the lights!! We no longer live in darkness!

FAQs for generator repair projects in Goodhue, MN

Always start by confirming the pro’s license number, insurance coverage, and experience level. Visit the electrician’s website, scan recent customer reviews, and verify credentials with your local labor department. Request proof of liability insurance and at least two references that you can contact. These quick checks take only a few minutes but go a long way toward ensuring safe, code-compliant work and protecting your home in the event of an issue.

Grouping several electrical jobs into one appointment means you pay a single service-call fee and one set of travel expenses. Instead of asking a pro to return three separate times for outlets, switches, and fixtures, have everything tackled in one visit. The electrician stays productive, and you avoid extra trip charges, often shaving a sizable chunk off the final bill without compromising quality.

DIY electrical work can be dangerous and, in many areas, illegal without a license. One miswired connection risks shocks, fires, or expensive damage. Licensed electricians carry the right tools, follow local code, and know how to shut down power safely before they start. Hiring a pro may cost more upfront, but it protects your home, family, and insurance coverage in the long run.
