Justin is highly knowledgeable, quick response time and cares about his clients. We had a couple of hiccups throughout our build but the team went above and beyond to makesure everything was taken care of and any issues were resolved in a timely manner. Amanda and Peter are very involved in the process and highly knowledgeable. I highly recommend XL Outdoor Living as they are professional and respect your time. **★★★★★ — HU-236499203, Jan. 2024** > We had Justin out to discuss our back deck. He was professional, kind and thorough. He took the time to write up a few quote options for varying possibilities based on our discussions for what we are looking for. He made sure to answer all of our questions and we get us any needed information. My husband and I loo forward to continuing to work with him. **★★★★★ — Christopher Schmitz, Jan. 2024** > We had Justin come out to our home this week and give us estimates on a deck rebuild with no maintenance decking. He was thoughtful, thorough, took his time to answer all of our questions and anything he didn't know, he got the information from his team right away and got back to us right away. Justin was great and very insightful to both mine and my wife's concerns and the things that we want with our new deck. Justin wrote up several different estimates with different options to keep the same size deck, or expand to various sizes based on the space that we have available. Justin was awesome to work with and I look forward to continue working with him on our deck project. **★★★★★ — bottke\_k31, Jan. 2024** > Ben did a wonderful job, he helped us out when our other contractor left us hanging. He’s very easy to work with and very responsive. We would recommend him to anyone. **★★★★★ — HU-602331088, Jan. 2024** > XL Outdoor Living did an amazing job on my outdoor deck and they were fantastic to work with as well. I was in a bad situation with another contractor and XL’s Salesperson and Owner went above and beyond to save and complete the project. They were quick to order the materials and get me on the schedule, and were complete within days of starting, finishing before Memorial weekend which was a very pleasant surprise for me! Kathy and Peter were professional, courteous and helpful, and I look forward to our next project! **★★★★★ — steve krueger, Dec. 2023** > This group has been amazing. Starting with Ben he made everything come to life just like we wanted. He actually had very helpful suggestions and set up the plans for our deck to be amazing. The rest was like magic - In less then a week this group in the cold built our deck. Nothing stops them from being professional, timely, efficient, clean, friendly, and might I say picky! Everything was made to be perfect. If it wasn't perfect, they made it that way. So particular to detail throughout the whole project. Thanks to all that built our deck! Thanks for being amazing! Will certainly call you on any future projects. In our minds this company is one of a kind! **★★★★★ — HU-746141177, Dec. 2023** > They did a great job on our deck! Very skilled and experienced craftsmen efficiently completed the project. Company communicated clearly with us throughout the project, and they were responsive to our questions and requests. I trust them and would use them again. **★★★★★ — HU-30779425, Dec. 2023** > Great work and even better service. Kathy was a huge help throughout the whole process. Helped move the project forward in a timely fashion! **★★★★★ — Scott Swanson, Dec. 2023** > Deck project. What amazing people to work with. Gave us many options on quotes, never pressured us by upselling. Communicated throughout the whole project. The crew was fast, friendly and professional. Even offered ways for us to help save a few bucks here and there without jeapordizing the integrity of the deck. Overall fantastic people, fantastic work and would hire them again in a heartbeat! **★★★★★ — Stacy Fowler, Dec. 2023** > Very professional and helpful. I would recommend XL living to any friend or family member. They did the job very quickly and did a fantastic job, very impressed. **★★★★★ — HU-418136383, Dec. 2023** > XL Outdoor Living offers superior design and craftsmanship for any project. We consulted with XL to build a sunroom on the back of our home and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. In addition, we utilized XL Outdoor to remove our exterior stucco and re-side our entire home with beautiful James Hardie siding. We continue to receive compliments on the beautiful transformation of our home by all our neighbors. Not only does this company offer fair and reasonable pricing, but Peter and his team deliver superior work quality and hands-on experience. We highly recommend this company! ## Selected projects - [Decks, Porches, and Patios](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decks-porches-and-patios-pj-vj~7055407) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 36 - [Windows, Doors, and Skylights](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/windows-doors-and-skylights-pj-vj~7055413) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 8 - [Siding Portfolio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/siding-portfolio-pj-vj~7087980) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Roofing & Gutters](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roofing-and-gutters-pj-vj~7055417) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 37 - [Pergolas, Outdoor Kitchens & Firepits](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pergolas-outdoor-kitchens-and-firepits-pj-vj~7059135) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 7 [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/xl-outdoor-living-pfvwus-pf~1707405365) ## Ideabooks - [My Project](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/159711032/list/my-project) — 1 idea - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/159711031/list/wish-list) — 1 idea - [Decking](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/163450692/list/decking) — 1 idea [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/webuser-892642624) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
