Specialty Contractors in Minneapolis

“Anyone who watched the major evening news channels this past winter, will recall that we New Englanders were slammed w/ record setting cold temperatures, snow storms, and ice accumulations. Everything suffered...but homes suffered horrific damage as a result of ice dams. Our house (a Colonial Style, two story, w/ a steep pitch to the roof) was no exception. For weeks we had carried more than 3 feet of snow on the roof and 24" thick chunks of ice had built up and accumulated at the edge of the roof and blocked the gutters. If there was any melting during the day ...the water had no where to go. This led to water backing up under the shingles and water barrier on the roof.. Naturally, this leeched into the house leaving brown staining and water damage on the ceilings and walls. A terrible mess! I needed to stave off further damage. I had seen signs for the "Ice Dam Guys" and called them. They are a company from MN but had set-up service in and around Boston and other parts of Massachusetts. They responded immediately to my call and scheduled me for service in less than 48 hours. The team arrived on-time, started the steam boiler, set up equipment, assessed the situation, came up with a plan of attack, and began working safely and efficiently. (They took no breaks!) The men were properly dressed in cold weather gear (Gortex) , wore goggles, and had excellent safety equipment in place ( mountain climbing harnesses and lines). So impressive....safety first! They were systematic in their approach and managed time so efficiently that they finished the job in 5.5 hours...much sooner than I had anticipated. As promised, they cleaned-up and cleared the pathways of big ice chunks and snow piles before they left. The roof ( just three years old) and gutters were not damaged. And, thanks to the steam, the gutters are nice and clean. I was impressed. I hope we never have another winter like the winter of 2014-2015. It's New England so you never know. Should "Mother Nature" punish again... be proactive and vigilant and definitely call the Ice Dam Guys...Professional ice dam removal using steam is so far superior to ice picks, hammers, salts, rakes, etc. There is no comparison. Ice Dam Guys deserve the 5 STAR rating. Heidi K”

“He was great. I had a double ceiling and he didn't charge me for that since he made a hole in the ceiling where it wasn't supposed to be so I had to get a larger fixture to cover the hole. He also let a steep roof charge slide so I had less to pay. I love my second Solatube . It was put in my kitchen where I needed more light. It cost me $720 and it was installed on 05/05/2017. I'm considering getting another one for my computer room.”

“Ryan Hendrickson and his team did a wonderful job replacing my degraded retaining block exterior staircase with poured concrete and also expanding the size of my existing concrete patio. They answered all my questions honestly while treating me and my property with respect. They came back to seal the concrete exactly when they said they would. I would definitely hire Master Concrete + Constrruction for future work. Thanks Ryan! Sincerely, - Loren (East Bethel, MN)”

“Distinctive Drywall has been the best contractor we've ever worked with. We had a repair job on a smooth ceiling, as well as installing a control joint. They came in each day, were respectful to our home and cleaned up beautiful each day, especially at the end of the project. Our project ran into an unexpected paint snag and they hung in there and always assured us they would make it right and they did. I cannot recommend Joe and his team enough. You can put your trust in your drywall needs. We live in a modern, flat roof, smoothed ceiling home and any little blemish shows and the job they did looks fantastic!”

“We have worked with Nob Hill and Anne Swanson for many years on numerous projects, and have found nothing but the most comprehensive product selection and best service available in the Twin Cites. Our projects range from simple additions to very complex multi-building houses and Nob Hill has always been able to manage both ends of the spectrum and anything in between. Anne has always been able to direct us to the right hardware for our projects (usually in the modern end of the spectrum), and is great at helping us manage budgets and lead times. Nob Hill has a very complete showroom that covers everything from the traditional to the ultra modern, and a very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Quite simply they are the best in the Metro area.”

“I was pleased with La Belle Terre's professionalism and expertise when installing a boulder wall at my home. Eric was a pleasure to work with and showed me different options to allow me to stay within my budget. He and his staff finished my project earlier than I anticipated. I wholeheartedly recommend La Belle Terre. -Gayle”

“Greg and Brett did an awesome job finishing the drywall in my basement. They did all the taping, mudding, sanding, and applied a knockdown texture to the ceiling. Very professional and courteous from start to finish, and first class work at a great price. They took care to put poly on the doors/vents/etc to minimize the spreading of the dust. I highly recommend them for any drywall jobs you may have!”

“On two occasions, one personal and one on behalf of a friend, I found this Company to be of the highest character and competency. In my case the equipment was installed exactly as the sales person had promised. Unfortunately I had to exercise the buy-back provision after my wife passed away and the refund and removal again was handled as promised, In the case of my friend he too passed away right after his order was placed and a full refund was granted because of the extremely short time between order and before install. I would imagine these circumstances may not be typical but throughout both experiences I was impressed with the owners fairness and sensitivity to my and my friend's family losses. I highly recommend them to those considering a need for the services they provide. Curtis Walker, Bloomington, MN”

“No company is perfect and often the only reviews people bother to give are bad ones. Let me be the one to tell you that Twin City Fireplace does professional, Top notch fireplace and stone installation. I have used them on my projects for years and will continue to do so.”

“Paul our sales guy was awesome. Knowledgeable and fast. Glass is gorgeous. The mirrors make my bathroom look twice the size and the shower door is functional and beautiful. We liked everything so much we ordered a 2nd mirror for the powder room and glass for the stairway. Reasonable prices but top notch service! Thank you!”
