He answered all of my questions respectfully and I learned so much from him. He never made me feel like I was asking a silly question and was very kind and patient. Because of his thorough inspection I made an educated decision not to purchase a high value home that unbeknownst to me had some major structural issues that aren't apparent to the untrained eye. I definitely would recommend Jeff to everyone and will use him again to inspect any home I'm interested in purchasing in the future.

He and his team take care of you and manage a professional job site. His crews are fast and friendly. They made sure to replace rotten wood, things not up to code, etc. That was all documented for insurance and backed up with photos. I'd work with Midwestern Construction again in the future without question.

I highly recommend Midwestern Construction as your roofing contractor.

We had a roofing contactor leave us high and dry due to the delays. Brandon and Midwestern, though, stuck with us throughout the long delay. This we greatly appreciate! In all of our dealings with Brandon and Midwestern we've only received the utmost of personal and professional care. We weren't just customers to them, we were people in need and they treated us accordingly. It was nice to have Brandon and Midwestern on our side and to have the confidence that they were not going to bail out on us. They stuck with us through 3 of the 4 months of insurance company failings. Then, after all of that, they left us with a beautiful, professionally installed new roof. My wife and I cannot thank Brandon and Midwestern Construction enough and I HIGHLY recommend them to anybody in need of a personable and professperson contractor.

The installers didn't lay any protectors down on flooring, or any where did that matter. They needed to install pipes thru my sewing room and several other rooms: they did nothing to protect existing surfaces, nor did they bother to tell me (I was working in my home office during install, it would have been easy for me to come down and cover my stuff). I spent much more time after they left, cleaning after them , than I'd have spent covering my things in advance. Almost all contractors I've worked with address protecting existing surfaces in advance of job, so I didn't think I needed to ask about it.

I scheduled my appointment on the spot and booked it on my calendar. Casey showed up even before the inspection to do exterior review and take pictures. During the inspection he was very helpful showing things he found and took good pictures for the paperwork. As all home inspectors should do he educated me on the findings as they were found so I knew exactly what I was getting into because buying a home is no short term investment. I would recommend their services to anyone in SE Minnesota any day of the week. Also a positive note the inspection was priced very competitively to others in the area.
