7/19/25. Mathew Hogan from Experienced Builders asked to inspect my roof after a hail storm in…read moreOlivia MN. He quickly surmised that the house suffered hail damage. He was top notch to deal with and was there when the State Farm adjuster showed up for the inspection. He coordinated everything about the re-roofing and was there on Saturday all day until the crew was finished. We walked the site and all work was excellent when completed, with attention to details such as 50 year shingles, top end roof vents adding ice and water around the vents and up beyond eves, clean up including tarps to check debris. He inspected the sub roof on both house and detached garage. He arranged for all materials delivered to site and the dumpster to haul out debris. My tenant complained about the roofing crew dropping a bundle of shingles on the roof and leaving a few nails (I believe it woke him up, but he was informed of the activity ahead of time). I am the owner and the landlord. Matthew and his crew were totally professional throughout the process, including one roofing member hopping into action after I open the garage doors and he saw some chips on the floor; immediately took action and blew it out. I have extensive experience in construction both with extensive home remodels myself, contractors building 2 of my homes and doing roofing jobs myself. I am now in the process of working with Mathew Hogan and Experienced Builders to re-side the same house and garage. I do not typically write reviews, but because my tenant gave a poor review and his feelings, I felt compiled to set the record straight. I am giving Experienced Builders and Mathew Hogan a 5 star review.

I'm giving Valley View Builders a 5 rating only because I can't give them a 6! Joe Ryan is nothing…read moreshort of amazing. Our lake cabin had considerable ice damage this spring. Joe was the only contractor to respond to our request for a repair estimate, finishing the work in a timely manner with excellent result. Cost was reasonable. He also graciously took on additional smaller restoration projects, again with professional quality work. Communication throughout could not have been better. We highly recommend Valley View and will contact them as needs arrive in the future.

Poor communication…read more Mark came out and quoted a project for $17k on a remodel of our only small bathroom that was broke (and needed a remodel anyway). I had remodeled the bathroom at our previous house, so I have a good handle on what is involved, but we were too busy to take it on ourselves. I solicited 5 or 6 bids and Mark's seemed the most professional but also the highest cost. I highlighted that this was our ONLY bathroom and speed was the utmost priority and that ideally I would like the project done in like weeks not months. Mark didn't express much concern over timeline. Now there were some materials shortages, and COVID and whatever, but it was just excuse after excuse, with sometimes no one showing up for a month at a time. And the strong impression was this project just wasn't organized or a priority. They didn't start for over 5 weeks, and when called on it, I was told that the timeline we discussed was for starting the project, not finishing it. I wish I had recorded our initial conversation, because it seemed he took crummy notes and then later reinterpreted them to suit his needs. Nearly 2 months into the project he expressed surprise this was our only bathroom and sort of sheepishly asked what we had been doing in the meantime (going to neighbors houses we are friends with). How that CORE piece of information I had stressed repeatedly during our first few meetings had slipped his mind, I have no idea. He the said he would hurry to finish. Then no one showed up for 3 straight weeks. We nearly fired him about three different times, including in mid JAN promising to have the shower done by Valentine's day (we hired him first week of OCT). Needless to say that deadline was totally missed by a month or more. Moreover key elements discussed during the planning stage were simply forgotten by him (tile wainscoting), and then when asked about them several months in he had to scramble. Early on in late OCT he had stressed the need for us to drop everything and go pick out tile so he could order it and have it there by mid NOV. Then MONTHS later when he was actually ready to install the tile (JAN), the project again had to go on hold because he had not ordered it yet... This is despite repeatedly asking him if he needed us to order tile, or front cash for materials to speed things along (not sure if he was having cashflow issues or what). Anyway, once the project was 95% done, they just had to install a glass divider (another element he had forgotten about). So that was another several weeks, then when they came to install it, they had cut it for the wrong side of the room, the side away from the shower...so more weeks to completion. By this point I couldn't even talk to him because I was so angry, but firing him when we were 98% seemed pointless. Anyway, I left it in my wife's hands, who he then took advantage of. Telling her he was giving us a "$1000 discount" for all the hassle, while charging her $300 more than the estimate and payment plan we had agreed on. This is despite us generally picking cheaper materials than were in his estimate and giving him wide latitude on specific choice just to try and speed things along. Hiring Mark was one of the 3-5 biggest mistakes I have made in my entire life. Worse than some car accidents I got into in my teens or that time I bought a super expensive bike right before we had a kid and I mostly stopped biking. The stress related to this has probably literally taken 6 months off of my life expectancy. I am serious.

It was an extensive project that took several days to complete but the quality of their work was exceptional. We moved to a new home a few years ago and the deck was rotting. We got quotes from several different contractors to tear down the deck and replace it. Twin Cities Remodeling not only came in well under what their competitors were charging but also finished the project in only two days. The quality of their workmanship is remarkable, not to mention they clean up after themselves well. We trust Twin Cities Remodeling for our construction needs and highly recommend them for a cost-effective, quality contractor. We look forward to hiring them again in the near future to complete a kitchen backsplash project.

We have been working with Corey at Stillwater Roofing for an extensive exterior remodel and I…read morecannot begin to explain the level of detail his company goes into when planning and completing the job! We are doing everything from the roof to a replaced porch and siding. The roofing crew did a complete tear off and partial deck removal so I would have a smooth roof again in just two days. They look at lines and consider cost at the same time. Corey is friendly, communication is priority with him and he is onsite daily with the crew. From bid to completion, you always know what is going on! Because you get texts, photos, and calls for updates and immediate answers. While our project isn't done yet, I have no doubt we will have it wrapped up in just a few more days. I would 100% recommend Stillwater Roofing for any exterior home project, because they have the drive and desire to help homeowners and are just as excited in a job well done.

I wish we would have hired them in the first place. If you are building a deck I can not recommend them more. They started on time and completed principal construction in just a few days.

They even arranged for a city inspector to come out right before the city shut down for COVID. The few punch list items I found were addressed promptly and without complaint. Highly Recommended.
