He handled the insurance process and made the claim easy. They accommodated my time schedule and were very upfront about pricing and options without trying to upsell. The crew was respectful and made every effort to do a good job. Many of my neighbors did not have this quality of work done by their storm chasers. I am very happy with the project and highly recommend Rider.

So there was allot of back and forth as to what was promised and what we actually ended up getting. A 3 week job took 6-8 months at one point had a trailer in my front yard for a couple months during holidays thanksgiving and Christmas all the siding off the house. Family came up looked horrible to have family arriving and no siding and a Krumm enclosed trailer in the front yard. There's allot more I asked that my windows and aluminum siding be left at my residence was told no problem. It was all hauled off. Told them I wanted no holes in my roof. They installed a satellite dish that was not hooked up back in the roof. I asked to have the shudders put back in the home. The guys argued everytime I mentioned it. You don't want that. You'll get wasps. Ya I do t want that. My wife does! The mate are cheap mernards crap windows and metal. Windows ordered were wrong size. Corners of the edges of home have gaps in the top. They didn't want to do the facia when they did they threw it up looks like crap. I can keep going. I in no way would recommend this company. I'd say stay away at all costs. When the facia they put up came loose. Took about 3 weeks to a month to have that nailed back up. Bent nail under a shingle the same thing. I highly recommend using any other company.

It's much brighter than the dingy old planks, which were replaced with a composite Trex flooring that matches the shakes on our house. Railings and posts are white, and the crew even added a doggie gate so our dogs can spend time on the deck but cannot go down to back yard. The workmanship was excellent; the crew took pains to do everything correctly. The crew - Ben, Colin and Steve - was fantastic! Extremely good at their jobs and the three of them enjoyed working as a team. They were very nice, we missed having them around when the job was finished! We highly recommend this company and will for sure use them again. Anne Martin, Woodbury MN

Excel Exteriors says the 'most important part of a roof is the roof decking' (on their website…read moreunder FAQ: https://ineedroof.com/top-parts-of-a-roof/) However, in July 2024, Excel saw 1" gaps in my existing roof decking, yet ignored the City of St. Paul Code which says 'gaps in decking greater than 1/4" require plywood'. Excel installed new shingles on top of old decking with large 1"+ gaps. They should have installed plywood over the old decking, which my insurance would have paid them for. Excel wanted to make a quick buck and get done with the roof, rather than wait for my insurance to OK an $8000 plywood supplement payment. Excel lied to me when they told me 'your existing decking is fine, you don't need plywood'. The photos Excel sent to the permit department inspector office also showed large 1" gaps. The inspector told them they installed the roof wrong. That they need to install plywood. He wasn't going to ok their poor workmanship and close the permit, so the permit remains open=which means the roof was done wrong/doesn't meet code/and needs to be torn off and done right. Excel Exteriors ignored the inspectors phone call that they redo the roof. Then the inspector sent Excel a letter saying the roof was done wrong, redo it. Excel ignored his letter too. It's been 8 months since Excel Exteriors installed the roof, yet they've done nothing to correct the problem, nor if or when they would redo the roof. Now the DLI (Department of Labor and Industry) sent Excel several letters asking them 'what's your plan for redoing this roof?' Excel ignored the DLI department's letter for several weeks. When DLI called Excel, Excel said they wanted a second opinion--which was a stall tactic. Their request for a second opinion from the permit department has been denied. DLI is going to fine Excel for their failure to repair the roof with plywood. I'm going to sue Excel, get the DLI and St. Paul City inspector to testify Excel intentionally refused to fix their roof code violation. Then I'll use the judgement and get reimbursed by the 'Contractors Fund', a fund that all contractors pay into each year, to reimburse homeowners for faulty contractor workmanship. Excel intentionally did faulty roof workmanship. They thought they could get away because their work was hidden under shingles. They ignored the city inspector's demand they do it right and thought he'd 'go away', but he hasn't. In fact, Excel's faulty roof workmanship has caused major interior damage too. Immediately after they installed the faulty roof, I told them I saw water damage on the ceiling. Excel came out, looked and said 'let's wait and see what happens'. Well, a few weeks later A HUGE 9' X 9' INTERIOR CEILING FELL, ALL DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE FROM THE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED ROOF. Excels insurance company, Markel, offered me only $4,000 to fix my interior damage that was caused by Excel, but my damage is well over $80,000. All the ceilings upstairs have water damage, all the plaster walls have cracked from the top of the ceilings to the floor, antique furniture was crushed, all the linen and clothes are filled with dust and debris. Doors, trim, floors are all scratched. Windows are cracked and blinds are ruined. It's a disaster. Excel thought they could hide their poor workmanship, but when the ceilings fell, Excel's faulty work was exposed for everyone to see the 1" gaps in the decking, where nails are hanging in these spaces, not holding anything on. Therefore, the roof is not secure. That's why decking is the most important part of a roof'. DECKING IS MEANT TO HOLD THE SHINGLES ONTO THE ROOF. With Spring storms and gusts of winds, these shingles may fly off---they're not secured to anything. DON'T RISK HIRING EXCEL EXTERIORS TO DO A ROOF. THEY'RE REFUSING TO REDO MY ROOF WITH DECKING THAT'S NECESSARY TO CLOSE THE OPEN ROOF PERMIT. I CAN'T REDO THE INTERIOR DAMAGE UNTIL THE ROOF IS REDONE. EXCEL EXTERIORS REFUSING TO LET ME FILE A 'LABOR WARRANTY CLAIM' SO I CAN COLLECT ON THEIR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. THEIR GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE, MARKEL, HAS ONLY OFFERED ME $4000. EXCEL'S OWNER, ALEX SHIKLINSKI; BRANCH MANAGER JORDAN EIGENHEER; PRODUCTION MANAGER JEREMY KUEHN AND HEATHER THOMPSON, SENIOR INSURANCE CLAIMS SPECIALIST FOR EXCEL EXTERIORS, ARE ALL REFUSING TO FIX THE ROOF OR HAVE THEIR INSURANCE INSURANCE PAY FOR THE DAMAGE. BUYER BEWARE.

He said they looked like they were "wrapped by my 4 year old grandkid." There was a leak on my porch roof twice during and right after construction and was told to move the A/C out of that window. They had me work with a door installer who told me box store doors were cheap and he doesn't install them but when it came time to install the door they gave me a cheap one from Menards that wouldn't lock. The person who installed it told me to go buy a new spring and lock for it. They left the siding around the door cut unevenly and unpainted and said they would come back for that and to install a new lock. I gave up on arguing over the cheap door. They never came back. They left garbage on my lawn twice and killed a bunch of my plants that never grew back. I got one B.S. line after another. They did fix some things after I pushed but didn't follow through on the rest. Really disappointed.

I hired them to remove and replace baseboards and door trim through Home Depot's Pro service. They double-booked the day my project was supposed to start and instead of rescheduling (which I offered), they sent the owner's brother-in-law - who doesn't even work for the company - into my home. He caused damage, and the work was sloppy and incomplete. The workmanship was terrible: - Boards weren't nailed securely - Large gaps between baseboards and walls - No caulking at seams - Only some nail holes filled - Some corners are mitered, others aren't - they're just boards stuck together for an unfinished, inconsistent look - They skipped spray painting the boards (as outlined in the contract), left several unpainted, and only painted the front face of others. After several text messages with Adam around my disappointment with the incomplete and sloppy work, they did offer to come back and fix things (contract has a workmanship guarantee) - but at that point, NO THANK YOU. The trust was gone, and I wouldn't feel comfortable letting them back in my home. I will likely have to rip half of it out and hire someone else to redo it - leaving me out a significant amount of money, and they don't care. Adam takes an 'Adam first' approach vs. a customer first approach as advertised. The finished product looks like a rushed DIY job I could've done myself. Unprofessional from start to finish.
