General Contractors Near Brooklyn Center

“We hired SJ Carpentry after a major insurance claim that ended up being a six-figure project. Both our kitchen and bathrooms had to be completely gutted and rebuilt. It was a huge job, especially in an older home where new issues kept popping up once the walls were opened. From the beginning, Joe worked closely with our insurance company and really advocated for us. He made sure the scope of work reflected what was actually needed and pushed to get everything covered according to our policy. At the same time, he stayed within the insurance-approved budget. We really appreciated that. The project was complicated and there were inevitable delays, but communication was clear and consistent. We always knew what was happening and why. When new problems were discovered (which happens in old houses), he addressed them head-on and worked through the insurance process to make sure we weren’t left with any uncovered expenses. Most importantly, the quality of the work is excellent. The kitchen and bathrooms were completely rebuilt and look fantastic. Everything was done professionally and thoroughly. We’re grateful to have had a contractor who could manage both the construction side and the insurance side so well. I would absolutely recommend him, especially if you’re dealing with a complex insurance claim.”

“Wow! What an amazing experience! We just finished a remodel project with Rick and it could not have gone better. This was our first time having this kind of work done and we were apprehensive. Rick took all the scary out of it. He stayed in touch during the entire project, checking in to make sure we were happy. His subcontractors were top-notch and meticulous. We couldn't be happier with the project outcome and highly recommend Jacobson Construction.”

“I have used Full Circle construction for over the past 12 years ranging in small projects (replace windows) to bathroom/kitchen remodels to a large addition involving excavation and adding a 2 story addition. From small to large projects, Curt has demonstrated fine craftsmanship and focus to detail. We have lived in older houses and this is were Curt and his team excel in being able remodel to a more modern function but keep with the existing style and wood work. He has the ability to understand the homeowners vision of a remodel and conceptualize that into reality, making suggestion and modifications along the way or we have utilized an architect (Rehkamp /Larson) for our large additions and Curt worked closely with them to interpret the sketches/blue prints into a reality. Not an easy task as I learned. His bids fall within the mid range but from our experience, the extra focus on detail and craftsmanship is well worth it. Furthermore, working with a one person contractor, you communicate directly with the person who is doing the work so there is little miscommunication. He also has developed a close relationship with several sub contractors that work well together. This is important for older homes that may require a more specialized craftsmanship (masonry, wood floors, stucco) that he can sub contract with rather than using a large construction companies "standard" employers. He stays on budget within the usual 10% margin of the estimate and again, with him on site daily, you are updated of any unforeseen expenses that may arise. Also, with him on site, you engage in a more personal process and as the project develops, any modification that he or you may suggest can be easily made. In addition, Curt is aware of the stress that remodels can have on a family and tries to work around your time schedule. For our large addition, he built a temporary kitchen (including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer) in our living room and even hired a cleaning person to dust and vacuum each week to keep our sanity !”
