"They did a nice job.  It was quick and the rooms look nice.  I don't think there was enough detail in the fine print.  They charged extra for the ceiling.  I painted the trim.This deal only covered the walls and nothing walls. They did do some very minor repairs."

"great product..  good price.  thoroughly repaired rotten areas under old patio door.  new door looks and  works great.

"Mikre did an amazing job in assessing the condition of two small decks that I have, giving a variety of options for cleaning and repair. Once we decided on a course of action, they kept me in the loop and did great work. Even when a couple of things came up that we hadn't originally planned on, we were able to figure out cost-effective changes. I would have them out again in a heartbeat."

"Justin repaired a leak in my roof to get through the winter. I plan to have his team do a roof replacement in the early spring. I would definitely hire him again."

"Our initial interaction with Artistic Fence was great. Amy from Artistic Fence sent us an initial estimate on April 14, and work was completed the first couple weeks of May. The fence builders were pleasant and professional. Artistic Fence covered the fence with a five-year warranty.

By June, we noticed protruding nails and splitting boards on our street-side privacy fence. We also noticed that one of the posts on the new gate was cracking. I emailed Amy about it on June 12. She replied on June 14 and said that someone would stop by to repair it. We were planning to get the fence painted with our house, so we were anxious for it to be repaired beforehand.

The fence hadn't been repaired by July 29, when we emailed Amy again. She replied on August 1, "I do not believe anyone has been out to take a look yet. I am sorry about that, I will push to find out when someone will be there and will let you know." Fast-forward to September, when the fence still hadn't been repaired. We emailed Amy on Sept. 12: "We haven't heard anything from you about this yet. When can someone take a look at the fence? We are hoping to have it clear coated late September."

This time, we didn't receive a reply until we emailed Artistic Fence again on Sept. 29. Amy replied, "I passed you email on to everyone in our office and Joe responded that he I fixed all the boards about two or three months ago and did not see the post. If you like, why don't we set up a time to meet and go over where you see there is still a repair to be done."

After receiving Amy's message, we looked at the street-side privacy fence and saw that it had indeed been repaired. However, we had been keeping an eye on it over the summer and do not believe that it had actually been repaired two or three months earlier. The gate post still needed repair. In addition, there was a new issue: One of the new boards was not completely nailed down, and so it started separating from the rest of the fence.

Artistic Fence sent someone to repair the on Oct. 12, and the board was nailed down on Oct. 14. We had been delaying painting the house until the fence was ready, so we were finally able to proceed ? just in time to beat winter. We do love the finished product, but the lack of follow-up over the course of four months was deeply disappointing."

"well worth the price--prompt service"

"This provider did a great job and completed it in one day.   The replacement window is double paned and a large improvement over the prior window.   The "earth well"  on the outside has been redone with timbers per my request and appears to be tight and durable. My only comment to the contrary is that there was considerably more dust than I anticipated and a small ladder was not placed in the outside "earth well".

"Good value, I would hire her again."

"We purchased an older home, built in 1921, in the Summit Hill neighborhood of Saint Paul. It was in terrible condition -- a "fixer upper." It was the ugly duckling on the block. It was in bad need of new siding and windows throughout. We knew about Hoffman Weber (HW) and Jason Iwig from previous dealings at our old house in Bloomington. Those dealings resulted in a separate five-star review on Angie's List. So, when HW's estimate for windows and siding came back in the same ballpark as a couple of other very reputable companies, we immediately retained HW as our contractor. Jason met with us immediately after we committed to the project. He's extremely knowledgeable when it comes not only to the various siding products available but especially with respect to customizing design and aesthetic, with great attention to details like jut-outs, standard siding for lower and shake siding for upper, and decorative corbels etc. He was also able to provide several financing options from cash to a ten-year loan with relatively good rates. He was able to approve us on the spot. Jason then handed the project management over to Tim, who served as the foreman of the project by making regular visits and ensuring the crew had more than enough material on site to get the job done. Like Jason, Tim is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional. He was always available to answer questions or address concerns, and always in a satisfactory (reasonable) manner. I'm sure all HW installers are great, but we feel we got particularly lucky with our installer crew, led by Boris. He was meticulous with his attention to detail, right down to the replacement of cable tv cords along the house. Everything had to be perfect with this guy. Yes, this meant a somewhat slower completion time, but I'll take slightly slow and meticulous over fast and sloppy any day. HW is the party that ultimately pays for this process, but it doesn't seem to bother them because our satisfaction always seemed of primary concern for them. Our 1921 house at 1116 Saint Clair Ave was an outlier in the neighborhood when we moved in, for all the wrong reasons. Now it's an outlier for all the right reasons. With Jason's help and artistic flair, we decided to use Hardie siding in the color Countrylane Red, with Arctic White trim. But we chose Birch Bark for the shake siding up on top, with a jut-out supported by corbels. We're happy. Our new neighbors are ecstatic. And passersby on Saint Clair stop to tell us how impressed they are. We really couldn't be happier with the job Hoffman Weber did for us, and we very sincerely hope those who read this review consider them for their project. Thanks."

"I was expecting good work, given the previous reviews, but this blew me away!  Hal has an attention to detail that is truly not seen in this day and age.  He rounded the edges of every board used in the fence.  The spacing between boards were all customized so that every section looked perfect. He created a deck that captured the style of the house, and also created a seamless transition between the decks on either side.  The arbors are lovely.  He talked me out of a few things and came up with better solutions that I love. He also listened to my ideas and went with them when they made sense.
The guy is a craftsman!  Little things matter:  perfect beveled corners on the deck.  A birdhouse needed to be re-located as part of the project.  Hal noticed that the birds were still nesting in it, so worked around it and came back to relocate it when it was safe.  Then, without my asking, he fixed the birdhouse so that it would be easier for me to clean it.
I've had many, many glowing comments from friends, neighbors, and family.  People I know who do carpentry for a living were also very impressed by his work.
Things you should know:  This is not a big operation.  It's Hal plus a helper or two.  You need to be flexible on starting dates, and it may take longer to finish than you think it will.  Hal cuts all the boards in his shop before assembly on site - he really does.  If it seems like the project should be starting and you don't know why he's not on site, that's why.  The finished product is totally worth the wait.
