"All Craft replaced three windows in the living room of my 150-year-old house -- one of the oldest houses in Rochester. I could not be more pleased! I was afraid to replace windows for fear of destroying the look of the house, but the windows they installed are perfect! They are at least a thousand percent more efficient than the old ones, but blend into the existing look perfectly -- the house looks even better than it did before! The whole experience with All Craft from the first phone call asking for an estimate to the finished product has been a delight!"

Priority has been in the construction trades since 1992 as a sub-contractor for many of the largest home builders in Rochester, MN, and surrounding areas. We have built our business on reliability, great service, execution and value. Our knowledge and experience in the construction industry is what makes Priority the right contractor for the job. We are EPA lead certified, which qualifies us as lead paint renovators. By law all contractors must have this to work on any home older than 1978.
"DO NOT HIRE THEM!! Their supposed "window professionals" sub contractors installed our bathroom window the wrong direction and we can't open it, so I am going to hire another company to fix it as I don't want to work with them anymore. They didn't double check the window size on a very large window before tearing old out and then realized window was bigger than opening. I had no choice but to allow them to cut bigger opening because siding that was scheduled couldn't go on until windows were finished so I was charged additional fees for their mess up. A lot of the "unforeseen issues" were from the subcontractors not double checking things or communicating with us in regards to the windows and doing things to run up a bill and I am being screwed over. 3 trips to do 6 windows because they only worked 4 hours a day. Also pulled old windows and just piled trash and broken glass from old windows in my front yard for an entire weekend until a different roofing sub contractors crew came following week and they cleaned up the window mess. Only thing done well was the siding and siding crew."

"Horrible The experience was awful with this people. I didn't know this company at all, my insurance company send me a list of 5 general contractors to take care of my house, so I pick J Benson because they were close to my house and I want it to keep the contractor local and close. So I went with them. They send an estimator like one day after the damage of the house, I signed the paperwork and two days later they send a different person because the first guy had previews commitments, so that was the first red flag. The second estimator took a lot more pics of the house and did he's first estimate, he submitted to the adjuster and it passed just fine. But then it took them almost one whole month before any one started to work in my house, not a single nail was removed or anything. Then I found out that numerous contractors were going in and out of my house with out me knowing it. Finally the work started and the job "foreman" got involved, this guy was even worst, he only called and picked up the phone when he need it something for me other ways good luck trying to get a hold of him. This guy should be FIRED and never allowed to work on the field again. One day I called him and he's answer was "what do you need, I am kind of busy right now" Awesome. Then I asked for an estimate to build a brand new bathroom in the basement. The estimator give me he's quote and we agreed on the price, so they started the project about one month after the paperwork was signed. About 80% of the work was done when I found out that the estimator "FORGOT" to add the toilet and the tub on the estimate!!!!!! How can any one do that????? So I had to came up with that $$$ And then there was the communication with office personnel. Since day one right after I signed the paperwork I offer to give them money, the estimator said "some one from the office will contact you" NO one ever did, weeks went by with out a single person contacting me about money. Finally some one did and every time we communicated there was a mistake with the numbers, every time there was an "I am sorry I forgot" Unreal this people. A couple of weeks before the project was done and I was super upset with every one involved at this point I requested a supervisor. He reached out to me and we meet at my house. He right away start asking me for money, I pretty much lost my cool there and I went off about all of the issues I was having with he's people. He's answer " I am sorry I wasn't aware of the issues" This shows how unprofessional this company is I can't believe how this people are in business not only in the twin cities but in southern Minnesota."

Old, leaky, or sagging gutters can’t move water away from your roof and foundation. If you see rust, cracks, frequent clogs, or water spilling over the edges, it’s time to replace the system. A fresh set of gutters restores proper drainage, protects siding and landscaping, and helps you avoid far more costly roof or foundation repairs. In short, new gutters are a small investment compared with the damage a failed system can cause.
The best material for gutter replacement depends on your specific circumstances and budget. Climate can affect the ideal material choice. For example, aluminum gutters are an affordable and versatile option that suits many climates, but galvanized steel is best suited if your home is subject to high winds or extreme weather conditions.
Most new gutter systems carry two warranties: a manufacturer's warranty that covers the material and a contractor's warranty that covers installation workmanship. Terms vary, so ask each professional how long their warranty lasts and exactly what it covers, such as leaks, rust, or labor. Confirm that any seamless or specialty gutters include the same protection. Understanding both warranties before work begins ensures you know who will fix future issues and for how long.
Gutters last between 20 and 50 years when installed and maintained with precision. The lifespan of gutters is determined by the quality of materials and the care taken during installation. Regular cleaning and consistent maintenance ensure that your gutter system operates efficiently for decades. This careful upkeep protects your home from water damage by maintaining clear and effective drainage.
If your gutters collect leaves or pine needles, guards are a smart add-on. By blocking debris, they reduce cleanings, prevent clogs that cause overflow, and help the system last longer. Upfront cost varies by guard type, but many homeowners recoup that expense through fewer service calls and less ladder time. Ask your installer which style works best for your local foliage and climate.
Plan to clean and inspect your gutters at least twice a year—typically in spring and fall. If you’re surrounded by tall trees or live in a storm-prone area, check them more often. Regular maintenance keeps water flowing, prevents sagging, and helps spot minor issues before they turn into big repairs. For added safety or convenience, schedule a professional service to handle high ladders and debris disposal.
