"Ben was very professional to deal with and always on time. He had some ideas for our remodel and responded promptly with an estimate of the job. His partner Vlad was also very professional and they always cleaned up after themselves and laid down tarps to protect our flooring. He was accessible when we had questions or issues to discuss. The quality of his work is excellent. He also stands behind his work. We are happy with our new bathroom and would recommend Ben to our friends and family."

"The frame of my deck was coming loose from some joists. Jerry showed up on time, and did a fantastic job of repairing my deck. I have no doubt this will hold up for some time. Very reasonably priced as well."

"We were very happy with the work done by Ben and his crew. They were extremely hard-working and skilled, taking their time to do high quality work. We had a lot of rotten wood siding and trim that needed to be replaced before a complete exterior paint job, and they did an excellent job. They were professional and easy to work with. We have a few more projects around the house we need done soon, and we won't hesitate to call Ben to complete them."

"Great prices and great customer service! Craftsmen Home Improvements replaced the roof on our house, as well as on our shed. They also put on gutter covers. Jim and Ellie were an absolute pleasure to work with. They responded to any questions we had immediately. They were always extremely professional and operated with the highest levels of integrity. Both crews were very fast and hard working. We would give them our highest recommendation!"

"WFY's renovation was amazing. We've lived with issues, created by the original owner, with the ground level of our home for nearly 20 years and finally had the funds to get it fixed. It's a difficult situation to explain, as our home's layout is "a bit different." Long story, short, WFY - Rob, and his business partner Scott - properly insulated above and below grade, then finished the area to be sympathetic with the balance of the house. There were many hurdles, each of which were surmounted expertly. In general, the project required hand digging a deep trench around 2 sides of our home without overly disturbing mature tree roots; developing a plan for insulating from the outside (rather than losing precious floor space indoors) while keeping the home attractive; working with other contractors who needed to move various mechanicals to accommodate; making adjustments as underground realities were revealed; completing the insulating, siding, and painting processes; replacing and fixing the landscaping disturbed as a necessary side effect of the project. WFY did it all whilst also being respectful of our requests around reusing existing landscaping materials, etc. It's not yet cold enough for a final report, but we've already noticed a huge difference this fall and expect more good things to come over the winter. The exterior looks even more attractive than it ever did in the past - which is a testament to design skills as well as actual construction. We've now hired WFY for multiple projects and are always thrilled with the results. We so highly recommend this business that WFY is even better than a "perfect 10.""

"Very well from start to finish. They arrived, did the work needed and left all in the same day. No leaving the site to get needed materials or working part of a day so needing to come back another day."

"They have always been very prompt. They call afterwards to follow through to see if I liked everything. They are very clear about what they are doing. I have never had to wait very long. They try to do the best fix. They do not try to over charge or find other additional things. They are very trustworthy. They are very good. They try to schedule you in at a very convenient time. I never had to wait. They have been great."

"We had A LOT of miscellaneous requests for Scott after doing some updating in our home garage. Numerous "little things" that would have either taken us more time due to inexperience and "bigger things" that required more skill than we have and felt comfortable doing. Tasks included updating lighting in our living room and garage, installing two ceiling fans, some finishing work, general repairs here and there, and installing an motorized overhead bicycle rack in the garage. There might be more - I've lost track. I made him a "honey-do" list and he'd check the box off when he was done. Everything was completed wonderfully and very timely. He made some great suggestions for products to help us complete our projects and was able to supply these for us - which is included in the approximate cost of service we list. It took several days to get everything done, and frankly I'm working on another list - more stuff for him to help us with! He is a busy man, so it is sometimes difficult to connect - that is the reason for my "B" grade on responsiveness and punctuality. When he's there - he works and gets things done!"

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse repair projects in Lake Elmo, MN

You’ll know it’s time for a new shed roof if shingles curl or buckle, soft spots sag, or water stains appear inside. Moss or other plant growth on the surface is another red flag that moisture has breached the roofing layers. Replacing the roof quickly stops leaks from spreading, protects stored items, and saves you from costlier structural repairs down the road.

Choosing between a flat and a sloped shed roof comes down to climate, budget, and upkeep. A flat roof is cheaper up front, but still needs a slight pitch for drainage. A sloped roof sheds rain and snow more easily, lasts longer, and often needs less maintenance. Weigh your local weather patterns, the look you want, and how much time you’re willing to spend on upkeep before deciding.

A shed roof’s life span hinges on the material you choose and how well you maintain it. Most standard products last 15 to 30 years, while premium picks like slate or clay tile can protect the structure for 50 to 100 years. Regular inspections, fast fixes, and routine cleaning all help you reach the upper end of those ranges and keep your tools and gear dry year-round.
