"Reetz Construction did a great job! My new deck looks amazing! From start to finish, Ethan Reetz was fair, honest, respectful, and fast. He obtained the permit and finished our 15x15 deck in 5 days. We couldn't be happier! This young man is the best around to do a deck or job for you!"

"I hired Twin City Home Services to tear down a wall, correct plumbing/electrical in my kitchen, and upgrade a custom workspace desk. All the work was expertly done on a timely basis. I really can't say enough good things about TCHS. Easily a 10/10. My house is older and has some unique features and they adapted and corrected. TCHS was reasonably priced and HONEST. I had some scope changes where they could have taken advantage but did not. I recommend TCHS for most projects. I'll never call anyone else."

"Fantastic! Trevor worked personally with us from the initial estimate all the way through completion of construction. He ran every number, gave us lots of different ideas, was patient, and had no problem using the design we brought to him. He asked lots of questions and made sure we were satisfied every step of the way. We knew he would be busy throughout the summer, but he kept us up-to-date with the timeline and met the scheduled start date. When he did start, he was right there with his two guys, 100% hands-on the whole way through. They were extremely professional, and worked hard, bell to bell, from start to finish. We didn't necessarily know what to expect, but they finished in less than 5 days! After they were done, Trevor made sure we got all the relevant inspection and permit paper work, and our yard looked like they hadn't even been there. Except of course for the deck, which is absolutely spectacular! We've been on it every night since they finished and we love it. We couldn't be happier with Trevor, and we will be calling him again when we're ready to finish the basement. Finally, we'll note that we did our research, received several bids prior to making our initial decision, and Trevor came in the lowest by quite a bit. Professional, hard working, exceeds expectations, top notch quality and reasonably priced?...what more could you ask for!? Give Trevor and Minnesota Construction and Property Management a call!"

"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.

"We love our fence-- it's beautiful!  Yet, while the final outcome was"A" worthy, a few bumps along the way unfortunately weigh down my overall rating.
When I reached out to Artistic Fence through Angie's List, I got a timely response and an estimate soon followed.  I liked the samples of their work, the price seemed fair and reviews on Angie's List were strong so we signed the work agreement and made our deposit without delay.  
The bumps were essentially the result of some inconsistencies in the way of customer service.  Namely, we were not impressed with the crew that did the tear-out of the old fence and placed the posts because of their general lack of professionalism and regard for our property.  I feel pretty strongly that every crew working residential jobs needs at least one person who has the soft skills needed to, at the very least, introduce themselves to the homeowner and say what they are there to do.  If there was such a person in this crew, he did not introduce himself, which caused some unease.  Plus, they did not space two of the posts correctly so one needed to be dug up and moved by the builder.  I believe with more proactive and detailed communication from a project manager, my expectations could have been managed more effectively.  For instance, I was expecting the crew in the morning of the first day so I stayed home from work to get them set-up with power and water.  After a couple hours I inquired about their whereabouts.  Turned out they didn't arrive until the afternoon and then worked for only an hour and while I understand the weather's heat was likely disruptive, I felt out of the loop.  Or, perhaps that was part of the project plan all along, but based on my expectations they were late, left early and threw the job off schedule. Things turned around after I expressed my frustration over having a torn-up, exposed yard and  being told the job would not be finished by the agreed date or two days after that when we were slatted to host an event in our backyard or two days after that. 
They responded with great service recovery?moving things around to send out their ?best builder? (perhaps owner too) to get things very close to finished allowing us to get our yard cleaned up in time for our party.  He was great?friendly, understanding, and detail-focused.   He was very apologetic about our experience with the earlier crews.  He communicated how he was going to approach the build.  When he finished, he gave his recommendations on care, including staining.  He let me grab some scrap pieces to test stains.  He even offered to haul away some old concrete footings from a separate project, which was very helpful.  And, like I said at the beginning, the finished product is really lovely and has helped us enjoy our backyard so much more.
Based on the final product, I think it?s a shame this project didn?t earn an A because the fence is truly excellent.  The process in total was good, just falling short of great.  I would certainly recommend Artistic Fence and I would use them again in the future.

"What great service. Hailey took our standard kitchen cabinet and converted to pocket doors with internal shelves and pullout drawer. It is a custom appliance cabinet now! She also patched multiple large ceiling cut-outs from our plumber. Did a great job with popcorn and primer/paint match. We have more Projects lined up for this team."

"Scott came out to give me an estimate, offered some suggestions. Due to the busy season, took a little while to get things going, but was completed in a couple days once they could start. Excellent workmanship. Would not hesitate to have them back."

"We stopped at the Hoffman Weber exhibit at the State Fair last year. We liked how nice and no-pressure everyone was. The beginning of September we met with Ryan Youngren from Hoffman Weber to take a look at our roof and gutters. He was knowledgeable about the products and what made sense for our house as well as their company philosophy. We decided to replace the roof, soffit and fascia, and gutters. He told us when the job was finished we would be happy with the results - customer satisfaction was very important to them. Shortly after our meeting we were contacted by Brian Thole, our project manager. He gave us a timeline for when the materials would start to arrive and when to expect the workers. He was friendly and reassured us that his goal was to for us to be happy customers when the work was completed. The roofing materials showed up promptly on October 1st as promised and the roofers the next day. Our brand new roof was done in one day! Brian came out to check on the workers and then to inspect the finished job. He asked if we had questions, which he answered, and if we were satisfied with the roof, which we were. Then things got a little dicey. The soffit and fascia arrived on October 3rd, as scheduled, and the two workers a few days later. We started to notice things that seemed off. The guys were working different ends of the house which ended up not matching. Also, these guys were subcontractors from down south and didn’t do things “Minnesota winter” style. Brian said he’d take care of it. The weather turned making it hard to work so now the timeline was stretching out further. Weather can’t be controlled but we were behind because of work having to be redone. HOWEVER, Hoffman Weber was true to their word. Brian worked with the guys until the job was done right, even chipping in to do some of the work and doing the finishing touches himself showing us he was committed to getting the job done right. He was at our house almost as much as we were, making sure we were satisfied! Even though he was managing other jobs, he was always patient, understanding, and generous with his time.. Once the soffit and fascia was done, the gutters and the gutter guys showed up, again on time. They attached our beautiful new gutters in a day. One more tweak to a downspout the next day and our gutters were done. Ryan came back on November 2nd, inspected the work, listened to our experiences - the good, bad and ugly - and made sure before he left that we felt good about the work. He gave us a nicely bound book with all our warranties. We were happy with the work and all the staff involved. They were great to deal with. All of the work, including the wintery weather and the extra time spent on the soffit and fascia, took one month to complete. We chose to write this review in the spring in order to see how our project wintered. Our roof looks great despite a terrible ice dam season, and hearing those new gutters flowing once the snow and ice started to melt was like music to our ears. We now get to go into summer with our house looking like new. Thank you, Hoffman Weber, for a great experience. Thank you, Ryan, for your expertise in pointing us in the right direction and especially, Brian, for being a wonderful problem solver and keeping things on track. We really appreciate the job you did and we will continue to recommend you to others"
