CES Exteriors out of Big Lake MN was contracted by Truline/Maverick Homes - Monticello, MN…read more(negative complaints are also posted about this company due to their inferior work) in the fall of 2021 to install LP siding on our home. It was not installed correctly. Damage was brought to the builders attention right away requesting resolution, but both refused any action. In June 2022, we had the experts from LP out asking them to investigate several areas that we brought to the attention of the builder almost a year prior. Upon that investigation, they noted several areas that were not installed correctly, and if not remedied, compromises the integrity of the siding with water infiltration, decay, etc. They provided a detailed report to us along with several pictures outlining these areas. Both CES Exteriors and Truline/Maverick Homes are subpar to say the least. We will be taking legal action against both of these companies. Beware and do your due diligence when selecting contractors. Homeowners do have the right to expect services completed correctly as contracted and paid for. Read the reviews on companies prior to hiring. When there is a negative review, understand that it takes an individual's time to put this information out there hoping that others are not taken advantage of. Hire contractors who take pride in their work. Unfortunately we learned the hard way. There are contractors out there who do a great job. CES Exteriors and Truline/Maverick Homes are not those companies.

I have a few words about Matt and Masonry Plus of MN!…read more Nutshell here... If you want your project in friendly(read: calm under stress), capable, hard working hands, call Matt. He gets pretty booked up but honestly don't let that dissuade you from working with this crew. I have managed the rebuilding of a house this summer, after a nasty fire burnt it out. I have worked with all the trades and contractors throughout the project and Matt is just different. He delivers! 1.( He's friendly. He doesn't make you feel like a dumbass (even when you don't understand the process). 2.( Masonry Plus is competitive with price... between 5 various block work, flatwork, and veneer stone contractors I've been in contact with. He's been super reasonable on all the bids he's given, and flexible in the bidding process despite my "hmm, what would it cost if we..?" Masonry Plus response times, and (bid)accuracy, were FAR better than the other subcontractors who (at least promised) bids on different parts of the job. Good grief. 3.( With Masonry Plus I've honestly felt VALUED and RESPECTED, understood, and put first as a customer. I really appreciate a company willing to go the extra mile! For example, would you believe this... Matt even stopped out on a Sunday for me once, because I asked for special help on a couple things to be sure I'd pass an inspection the next day? That rocks. I mean seriously, no one does those type of things. And some competition: 2 flatwork and block guys didn't even show up at our appointments, to walkthrough the job for bidding! (and around $10k of work so... worth the appointments) Matt showed up right on time, and had a bid sent over a couple days after seeing the site. 4.( Matt has a wealth of knowledge and hasn't shyed away from any concrete-related work or the myriad of questions I seem to have lol. He has done for me: tear out and rebuild foundation block wall, cut into/repour basement slab for plumbing, pour fresh garage slab, cut in egress windows, pour (tons of) deck post footings, and doing veneer stone work. I almost didn't write this review. Why? Because I know Masonry Plus is popular and Matt stays super busy, but I am terrible at secrets and now you know. I think it's important you also know Masonry Plus and Matt have no idea I'm writing this, but that crew deserves it for the blessing they've been to (an enormous challenge of) a project. Cheers.
