"The installation went well. They responded quickly to me and were very communicative. I just think that it was a bit over priced. I paid it because I had no other option at the time"

"This was the second time I had worked with Bob's Construction, the other time was about 5 years ago when I had a new roof put on my townhouse. The first time they had to come back and do a couple of noticeable fixes on the shingles, but overall were kind, responsive, and quick to make things right. That's why I went with them a second time to roof my garage. Unfortunately the second time around may have just been the worst experience I have ever had with a business in my life. First I was told 5 to 6 weeks, which was very close to the closing of the sale of my home in 8 weeks, of which Bob's knew the timeline and the fact that it was contractually part of the sale of the home. They reassured me there would be no issues and they would get the work done before the closing. I was then called by Steve, a salesperson who worked for Bob's, who told me that if I brought 50 percent of the payment down that day, he could get the work done in 2 to 3 weeks time. His reasoning being that there was a lot of homes that they anticipated having to do storm damage repair on, that ended up not needing it, so it freed up space on their schedule. Of course I jumped at that, left work early, and brought a check to him before they closed that day. After 3 weeks of radio silence I called and was told that I wasn't on their schedule for the following week, so call back in a week. This happened twice, so by week 5, I emailed Steve again and was given the response "I will get it done by your closing". No timeframe, nothing scheduled, just that. The week before I closed on my house I had to call them again and was told they would be out on Tuesday. I cleared my driveway and garage out for them and no one showed. I called again and was told they couldn't get out until Thursday and guess what, no one showed. Then I was told they would guarantee it would be done Saturday and I even got a text from Steve around noon that said "They are just finishing up on a roof and are on their way over to do yours". I bet you can guess what happened next, nobody showed up. I tried multiple times to contact Steve, but he was up at his cabin with spotty cell service. Then randomly a van shows up on Monday to complete the work. A few other things to note that made the experience even worse: There was a wasp nest discovered in the garage and a Bob's Construction employee sprayed Raid all over both of our motorcycles and convertible. (We would have moved them all out had we known when they were going to come and do the work.) The same employee had greasy hands and left grease smears and handprints all over the fresh paint on the side of our garage. Bob's Construction was also asked to quote us on repairing any rot on the underside of the roof and were out 2 times to inspect it. They nailed new facia boards over the old rotted soffits and told us, sometimes those things are hard to see at first. We had to contact another company to fix their work and replace the soffits. I was also quoted $700 dollars more than a competitor to replace a window, when I specifically asked for the least expensive option. I did get an email from Dave Ryan, president of Bob's Construction who told me the reason there was so many delays was because of an excess of storm damage on homes they had to play catch up on, which is directly contradictory to what Steve had told me in the beginning of the process. He gave me a whole slew of excuses, that were different from everyone else's, which shouldn't surprise me that if the lies are starting at the top of the company, they find their way to the rest of it. The reason I wanted to get this out was to inform others of the poor business practices and customer service issues Bob's Construction has and hopefully prevent them from going through all the time and stress I did for subpar work."

Priority has been in the construction trades since 1992 as a sub-contractor for many of the largest home builders in Rochester, MN, and surrounding areas. We have built our business on reliability, great service, execution and value. Our knowledge and experience in the construction industry is what makes Priority the right contractor for the job. We are EPA lead certified, which qualifies us as lead paint renovators. By law all contractors must have this to work on any home older than 1978.

"DO NOT HIRE THEM!! Their supposed "window professionals" sub contractors installed our bathroom window the wrong direction and we can't open it, so I am going to hire another company to fix it as I don't want to work with them anymore. They didn't double check the window size on a very large window before tearing old out and then realized window was bigger than opening. I had no choice but to allow them to cut bigger opening because siding that was scheduled couldn't go on until windows were finished so I was charged additional fees for their mess up. A lot of the "unforeseen issues" were from the subcontractors not double checking things or communicating with us in regards to the windows and doing things to run up a bill and I am being screwed over. 3 trips to do 6 windows because they only worked 4 hours a day. Also pulled old windows and just piled trash and broken glass from old windows in my front yard for an entire weekend until a different roofing sub contractors crew came following week and they cleaned up the window mess. Only thing done well was the siding and siding crew."

"1. Did not bring anything to cover shozes or old/wet water heater. Requested the customer to provide towels or something to cover the bottom of old water heater, mentioning the carpet will be dirty without it. 2. Had difficuties to ignite the starter/new water heater. Broke a gas nozzle part of the ignite by drilling. Even broken, put the part into the water heater. Somehow, the starter worked. 3. Paid $1,000 for installation of water heater. Requested the receipt but they said it will be avaiable after 3 weeks (will be updated). 4. Broken part will be replaced by other service provider,"

Insulation questions, answered by experts

If you need to insulate behind finished walls, the best option will likely be to have an insulation professional install blown-in insulation. The installation requires small holes cut in your wall, after which the installer can blow loose-fill insulation into the void. After the installation, you’ll have minor drywall patching, which shouldn’t cost more than $100. Compared to ripping down the existing drywall, using a different type of insulation, and replacing and finishing the drywall, this should save you hundreds or even thousands, depending on the size of the room you’re insulating.

Yes, cladding can help insulate your home by adding an additional layer to the exterior walls, which can minimize heat loss and enhance energy efficiency. However, it's essential to select cladding materials that include insulation for optimal results, as cladding without built-in insulation won't make nearly as much of a difference.

Garage door insulation can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years depending on the type of insulation. Cellulose has the shortest lifespan coming in at between 20 and 30 years, while spray foam, mineral wool, and fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years with proper maintenance. 

Humidity plays a role in how long more susceptible insulation materials—like fiberglass—last. Once fiberglass batts reach the 15-year mark, you'll need to routinely inspect your insulation to ensure that it is in mint order.

Air sealing isn't necessary for attic insulation, but it's incredibly helpful since it can help you identify and patch any existing air leaks. Failing to find these leaks before adding insulation can render your insulation less effective, leading to higher energy bills and potentially costly repairs down the line.

Reduces energy costs, improves comfort, and prevents ice dams in winter.
