Recommendation for Corbin Exteriors…read more Last fall, we undertook a major outdoor renovation project on our home, and I can say without hesitation that working with Corbin Exteriors -- and specifically Nathan Corbin -- was one of the best contractor experiences we've ever had. From day one, Nathan's attention to detail and proactive communication set the tone for a smooth, efficient, and high-quality build. The scope included James Hardie siding, a class 4 impact-resistant roof, gutters and protectors, general contractor for modern electrical improvements, custom steel eyebrow roofs, and even on-the-fly repairs to exterior walls that were uncovered during the process. Every challenge was met with a solution, not a delay. Nathan personally oversaw the transition from brick to Wisconsin stone, ensuring the aesthetic and structural integrity of the home stayed intact. His team worked cleanly, respectfully, and with a level of precision that's rare in large-scale exterior work. The project came in on time, on budget, and without a hitch -- a testament to Nathan's leadership and the caliber of Corbin Exteriors. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone looking for premium craftsmanship and a partner who truly cares about the outcome. Sincerely, Shannon Phipps Woodbury, MN

Our expectations, based on our initial meetings, were to use Owner-Built (OBMS)/Jim Rumler's…read moreexpertise as a second set of eyes to help with the many details - unknown to us - involved with the remodeling project and to save "25% or more" based on viewing his website. First, we did not recognize 25% savings for our project. Our biggest ticket items were our flooring, countertop, cabinets, and electrical. The flooring was purchased using OBMS' manufacturer's discount. The discount brought the flooring to the same price we could have purchased it at using a local flooring dealer. The countertop was market rate. The cabinets were custom-made and one of the only areas we saw savings. The electrical was market rate. Second, OBMS received payment of 25% of the total costs. That included items we secured, researched, and where he offered no value or discount (e.g. light fixtures, appliances, plumbing fixtures, paint). Finally, Jim made *ONE* trip to the site during the two plus months of construction. What he provided was a list of vetted contractors, and a plug-in timeline and budget worksheet for our project. He made a few phone calls, sent a few emails, and texts providing very little useful counseling or expertise. His coaching at one point was to chastise us for not letting him know there were issues with the drywall work. We were also told asking for estimates from a few contractors was "frowned upon" in the industry. We would not recommend OBMS based on our experience.

We hired Owner Built to remodel our first floor - our kitchen and dining room. Prior to our…read moreremodel these rooms were separate and felt like different rooms. We live in an older house where rooms are more separate and we wanted a more modern open floor plan. We worked with Owner Built to bring these rooms together. We gutted both spaces and were able to create an open floor plan. We loved Owner Built's designer and the options they provided. Most importantly we liked the transparency of their process. We knew exactly what the contractors were making and what Owner Built was being paid for their services. Our overall spend was 25% less than our best full contractor bid. Our project is on their Facebook page and it speaks for itself. The process was easy, we had daily control of the project and when we needed help Jim (the owner of the company) was always there. We didn't find it harder to "be our own contractor" and actually preferred knowing where our money was going and having more say that prior remodels we have done.

Just a quick note of thanks to Nick. We had some storm damage on our siding, not enough to replace…read moreour siding but still required attention. Nick was kind enough to come out and take photo's of the damage. He was honest in telling me that it would be easier and cheaper to get a "handy man" to repair the damage and gave us the name of the person to repair it. I understand that the damage was small, and would not be worth the time for his company to repair it, but his helpfulness and kindness and honesty was very helpful, we will give Nick a call next time we need new siding, roofing, etc..

I recommend Tradition Roofing and Exteriors whole heartedly. Their work is top-notch and their…read morepeople are knowledgeable and friendly. Before contacting Tradition, I received an estimate from one of "those" kind of roofing companies - You know the type, the ones that come by and leave a business card if your door and when you ask them to check out your roof they, of course, say you need and entirely new roof. When Scott Landa (who, in the interest of full disclosure, is the husband of a former coworker) came out to take a look at my roof he had an entirely different, and thankfully less expensive, opinion. After a quick repair, Scott was able to fix the area of my roof that I was concerned about. As he was leaving, I asked if I needed a new roof. Scott's answer was no. I not only appreciated Scott's professionalism, but also his honesty. I'm sure he would have loved to put an entirely new roof on my home, but it wasn't needed and he was able to accurately assess the situation and didn't rip me off. When the time comes that I do need a new roof, I'll be giving Tradition Roofing and Exteriors a call.

Scott was responsive, prompt, and thorough. I would highly recommend Tradition Roofing.read more

Wow. Was just blown away by the incredible experience I had with Roshay and the 22nd Century…read moreRoofing team. I woke up to a slight drip in my dining room and did some investigation myself in my attic but wanted a professional opinion. I called first thing and the scheduling coordinator immediately got me on the books with Roshay for a consult later that same morning. Roshay stopped by, reviewed my pictures and quickly hopped up on my roof to do some investigating. Turns out - no repair was needed, just some water coming in through a vent due to some heavy, heavy rain. Roshay explained everything fully to me and gave me great peace of mind that things should be OK. If water starts leaking in again, 22nd Century Roofing will be my first and only call. I can't recommend them enough!

We sought them out along with 2 other companies (a franchise that advertises {and overcharges} A LOT and a larger MN-based company) for bids in early 2023, and hands down felt like 10K was the right choice. Our primary contact through the process was Jake- his clear communication throughout the process, meticulous attention to detail, and efficient, professional, transparent, personable approach make them a top-notch choice for any construction needs. We are extremely satisfied with the quality of their work and the seamless collaboration with Eagle Windows. We cannot recommend them enough!

I contacted Vail Builders after seeing them highly recommended on Angie's List. Jim Vail promptly returned my phone call and set up an appointment to measure the room and to meet with my wife and I regarding our ideas. In just a couple of weeks, Jim had created a set of preliminary plans and the most comprehensive contract I've ever seen. Jim is thorough and extremely detail oriented, which is exactly what you need in a general contractor. Jim is demanding of his subcontractors and responsive and fair to his clients. The results Jim helped my wife and I create are spectacular; they exceeded our expectations by a large degree. I will plan to hire Vail Builders for any and all of my future building needs.
