My neighbor has been working with Northrup on a project, and the experience has been entirely negative for the neighborhood. They have taken months to complete a small project. One contractor shows up every few days, parks illegally (well over a foot from the curb) then sets up a table saw across from his truck. Only one car can pass at a time, and he sets up like this every time he is here (which is nowhere near every day). I can't speak to the price or the quality of the work, but professionalism and speed are clearly not priorities for this company. read more

They were easy to work with and despite a little weather delaying them a day they go the roof done and cleaned up in a day. Quality work and friendly workers. Best price for same product - and had a good experience with the sales associate. No high pressure and I had to convince them I knew I wanted the more expensive shingles because they didn't try to upsell me. read more

My husband had shopped around and found that Northrup was reasonable in pricing for replacing the shingles on our roof and we were going to add skylights to the roof but then decided it was too much hassle so we just replaced the shingles. The contractors showed up pretty early and started working right away and 7:30am. We knew it was going to be loud but it was super loud that they woke our daughters up crying. I didn't like that they didn't send us a not to let us know if what e should expect from their contractors. We could have move all of our outdoor equipment out of the way for them to do the work and it was good that the contractors were able to move them but then they would used our stuff on their breaks without permission which upset my daughter since she's very sensitive with our belongings. They were goofing around with our volleyball and kicked it out into the alley. Who does that with other people's stuff. The contractors was placing the dump container and chipped the edge of the concrete on the boulevard. Smoked and threw the buds in our yard and that's what gets me to give them a poor rating. You don't smoke on someone's yard and then discard the bud on their lawn for their little toddlers to pick it up and could put in their mouth. I've seen roofing contractors that work neater around the neighborhood than these contractors from Northrup. Our front back back yard were super messy that it was hard to get out of the house to go anywhere. Then roof way not done 100% with some extra pieces not cleaned up and when the contractors cleaned up to leave for the day they didn't tell us whether they were coming back to take the dump container or the extra shingles and the a metal cover for something. read more

Northrup and specifically our contractor Ron were wonderful to work with. They really looked out for us as the client and managed our expectations professionally and helpfully. We added a second floor which was a huge project for us - during the pandemic - and are so incredibly happy with the results. Our only regret was that we took on hiring some of the trades ourself, when in hindsight, should have just done everything through Northrup (which Ron tried to warn us about ahead of time). We have nothing but good things to say, are happy to answer any questions about specifics, and would certainly recommend Ron and Northrup again and again. Our home makes us so happy and we are truly grateful for the professional and personal help and expertise we had every step of the way. read more

After receiving an estimate from Northrup for our roof repair, I asked the project manager for references and was just given addresses whose roofs I could see. When I said I wanted to talk with references to find out "what your company was like to work with, communication, timeliness, safety, neatness, how well your work held up, whether your bids ended up being real or there were hidden costs," they told me they "cannot legally handout client contact information" and will not provide personal references. I replied they "cannot legally hand out client contact information without their permission. Not contacting clients to ask if they'd be willing to serve as references is a company and not a legal decision." I didn't receive a response. I was disappointed, but it wasn't difficult to find other roofing contractors who contacted references to get permission for me to talk with them. read more

We worked with Ron Burgess on a 6 month renovation project at our 1927 Bungalow in South Minneapolis. The tradesmen were all good at their trades and were on time, professional, and did the work they were contracted to do. The home was demo-ed down to the studs and a dormer was raised to fit the character of the house. New roof, trim and paint was done on the exterior, along with a new master suite, kitchen, mudroom and 2 bathrooms were completed. Great care and workmanship made the existing built-ins the star of the show as they married new cabinetry and trim to match it all. I would highly recommend talking with Ron about any project you find is too big for your DIY time.... read more

Showed up on time, did an assessment, did a minor repair and didn't charge us. We will call them again when it is time to replace the roof! read more

We had a variety of projects necessary in our 1939 Saint Paul home and Northrup accomplished them all as promised on time at reasonable cost. We are glad we chose them over two other estimated offers. Here's what they accomplished: installed new ceilings, ceiling lights and ceiling insulation in our upper floor, re-wrapped the front door, installed railings on the front and rear steps, built and painted a roof over the back door and installed a new storm door there. Mark from Northrup communicated well and delivered fine work for us. We will have no hesitation about using them again for future projects. read more

I chose two companies to troubleshoot the cause of stains near my ceiling and exterior wall. One of the companies was Northrup. Bob, the Project Manager, took time to investigate the possible causes. He explained the signs he saw that pointed to a problem with condensation in my attic, which was what the first company had concluded also. This was reassuring to hear. Like the other company, Northrup was not able to help me since it does not specialize in installing proper ventilation, which is what I will need to take care of my stain problem. I was impressed with Bob's honesty and his willingness to take the time to educate me, even though I was not going to give his company any business. He genuinely wanted to help me out! Bob did not charge me for his time or his expertise, even though I offered to pay him. It's a breath of fresh air to have a positive experience like this! read more

Like most people embarking on a home improvement or remodel project, we had done extensive research online about what we wanted from our new kitchen; looks, function, and an enduring design. There are so many talented people out there that do kitchen remodeling, choosing one firm to turn your dream into reality can be overwhelming. After researching the Better Business Bureau, Angie's List and Houzz; we knew we could narrow the field considerably. Having been a Realtor and sold luxury real estate in Seattle, Palm Springs and San Diego, I knew the value in hiring a talented construction firm before making a single purchase. I have seen too many horrible remodels, or ones that came close but miss the mark. I have also experienced enough stellar designs, ones that make you fall in love with the home, and kitchens and baths that stand out, but still speak to and respect the character of the house they "live" in. All of these homes have two things in common, great design and a great construction firm. Northrup Remodeling is just such a firm. Our decision to hire Northrup Remodeling to build our new kitchen put us on the right path for a successful project. We interviewed several construction firms, but Northrup's experience, knowledge, and ability to translate our ideas into real life made them the clear choice. Mark the owner, and Bob our project manager, listened, took notes, and explained their process. They are skilled communicators, bring considerable experience, and a knack for managing details to their work. Our kitchen project had several challenges and they masterfully crafted lasting solutions to fit the character of our 1924 home. Our kitchen is now magazine cover beautiful, but above all else is now a pleasure to cook in. We unequivocally recommend Northrup Remodeling for a kitchen, bath or any construction project. read more

Had our roof done, quality of work is less that great. Keep finding problems with workmanship. Salesman less then honest. Would never hire them again. read more
