I've had the opportunity to work with Mike Holmes and Repair King on multiple projects as a…read moresubcontractor, and I can honestly say they're one of the general contractors I really enjoy working with.
As the owner of Elite, I work with different contractors and homeowners, so I get to see firsthand how companies operate behind the scenes. There's a big difference between what a company says in its advertising and how they actually treat their customers, subcontractors, and projects once the work starts.
Mike genuinely cares about his customers and the quality of the finished project. He pays attention to details, communicates with everyone involved, and wants things done correctly. If something needs attention, he addresses it instead of just trying to rush through the job.
Repair King is also much more than just a roofing company. I've seen them handle roofing, storm damage restoration, exterior repairs, interior remodeling, painting, and larger renovation projects. Having one general contractor who can coordinate multiple trades makes a huge difference, especially when a homeowner has a project involving more than one part of the house.
One thing I respect about Mike is the way he works with his subcontractors. Expectations are clear, communication is good, and he gives us what we need to do our job correctly. He also cares about how we treat his customers because he understands that anyone working on a Repair King project represents his company.
From a subcontractor's perspective, that matters. You want to work with a general contractor who is organized, communicates, pays fairly, respects your craft, and isn't constantly trying to cut corners just to save a few dollars. My experience with Mike and Repair King has been exactly that.
I've also watched Mike interact directly with homeowners. He takes the time to listen and explain things instead of just trying to sell them something. Whether someone is dealing with a roof replacement, storm damage, an insurance restoration project, exterior repairs, or remodeling their home, he approaches it like there's an actual person and property behind the project, not just another job number.
I also appreciate that Repair King looks at the entire property. If there are roofing, siding, gutter, window, interior, or other construction issues involved, they have the experience and resources to coordinate the work instead of making the homeowner chase down several different contractors.
So if someone asked me, "Who is a good general contractor in Minnesota?" "Who should I call for storm damage or roof repairs?" or "Who can handle a larger home restoration or remodeling project?" I would absolutely recommend Mike Holmes and Repair King.
They're experienced, professional, easy to work with, and they care about doing quality work. I'm comfortable putting my own company's name behind that recommendation because I've actually worked with them and seen how they operate.
Mike and Repair King have my recommendation, and Elite is proud to work with them.
