I called and was able to make an appointment to have the designer come out to my home. He took measurements and sketches and then never got back to me. He literally never called me back or anything. It makes me wonder why he even came out for a design consultation. Big waste of my time and having to take a day off!

Reed Okerstrom from North Star Remodeling is something else. Polite guy, has been a contractor for…read moreyears, but unfortunately a real crook. His sons are very good and considerate carpenters. He started out well with our kitchen and master suite remodel and even put up with the terrible situation Carol Karnes and Brian Simonson (Builders) from Rochester MN, left us with. We signed a very costly contract that specifically stated good quality subs from the Twin Cities. When the mechanical sub did not show up, he hired an unsuitable company in Rochester, MN (HIMEC) that we had interviewed previously and that we did not want. Nevertheless and not listening to our concerns, he proceeded with HIMEC. After that our life deteriorated. Small children, no kitchen no master bath, no master bedroom. He charged $26,000+ for cooling a 400 sq feet kitchen and in-floor heating of both, the bathroom and the kitchen. Very quickly, it became clear that HIMEC installed a greatly oversized unit (3 ton air handler and huge duct work) in the relatively small space without a heat loss/cooling calculation in place and other issues. Reed Okerstrom/North Star Remodeling stopped answering our e-mails and abandoned the remodeling site for nearly 2 months. The new sub is great (Mark Sims, from heating & cooling 2). Although the new bid was $11,000 less than the 1st one and although our contract states that North Star receives from us what the subs bid plus 15%, Reed Okerstrom tried to coerce us into paying an additional $5,500, which means he tried to pocket $16,500 !!! after not showing up on the job site for 2 months. It took more than 2 weeks to explain to him how unapproriate this was and legally very questionable. We explained all this to him and he was clearly embarrassed, stuttering, explaining that "money bleeds from one lien item into the next" etc. Yet - while I am writing this review, he sends me an additional "change order" over $7,000 for work not originally stated in our contract demanding a signature within 2 days and threatening that further delays will occur if not. Our feeligns range from disbelieve to disgust. Next thing, we know, he allowed his brother to wire our place during our absence without a city permit, without our knowledge, and without a signed contract and now demands money ($30,000?). Please also see my review for North Star Services Electric (Bret Okerstrom) outlining the situation. Will North Star Remolding implement a correction plan or continue to make up fictional invoices? Will Reed redeem himself? Or perhaps not? Stay tuned.

Wonderwoman Construction rescued us from being way overcharged for a garage roof replacement. We…read morewent to them for an estimate after getting the first bid from another contractor and I am so glad we did. They were responsive, on time, on budget and they even take credit cards. The garage roof is perfect at half the price of our first bid. After the garage project, we unfortunately found a problem with a roof truss on the house and had to get it fixed quickly. Again, Wonderwoman was responsive in evaluating the issue, gave us two different project scenarios and explained everything along the way. Big repair jobs are scary. You just don't know (and neither do they) what you are getting into until you begin the project. The fact that they walk you through it step by step, including contingencies and worst-case scenarios makes it a lot less scary. And their prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!!!

I hired Wonderwoman Construction to install two exterior doors after having an awful time with…read moreanother contractor (who ordered doors in the wrong size and color!). Wonderwoman came to the rescue! They were responsive, fit this job into their schedule, and picked up my new doors for me. The best part, however, was the installation. It took two days for both doors, but the precision and attention to detail just blew me away. They addressed issues, like a missing floorboard, that were not strictly part of the job but they clearly wanted my entryway to look perfect. And it does! They were true to the bid and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them. I can't wait to hire them again.

We appreciated working with Ben throughout the entire process from sales to design and through the construction. I can't say enough about their level of quality in workmanship and attention-to-detail. The carpenter who was at our house daily was excellent, contentious, and very clean, which made living through the project easy. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and can't imagine ever using another contractor.

I asked this remodeler over for a project: redo two small bathrooms (6ft by 9 ft each) a 4ft by…read more3ft dormer extension, do some work on a 3 Season porch to make it warmer (new windows and a mini split), and to rob some space from another bedroom to make into a closet. I was told in the initial meeting it's a $400k-$500k project. How? This makes abdolutely no sense. I was told the dormer (4ft by 3 ft) with the 2 bathroom redo's was $250k. Two 6ft by 9 ft bathrooms. Then the mini split (5 heads) and closet and 7 new doors and paint and other work would be another $150k plus. How? There is pricing for a margin and being greedy. This is just greedy. Hard pass and they should be embarrassed.

This project touched nearly every part of our home's upper level, including bedrooms, hallway, bathroom, loft, stairway, fireplace, ceiling, HVAC improvements, custom carpentry, electrical, flooring, insulation, and a beautifully built wet bar, and the results are outstanding! Henry and his team communicated clearly at every stage, kept the project well organized, and were incredibly flexible as plans evolved. Any questions or adjustments were handled quickly and professionally, which made a complex project feel smooth and stress-free. We wholeheartedly recommend Perspective Construction LLC to anyone looking for a contractor they can truly trust. Their commitment to quality, excellent communication, and willingness to adapt make them exceptional to work with. We would not hesitate to work with Henry and his team again on future projects.
