They've also helped me find glitches with other contractors' work and fixed those while they were waiting for paint or sheet rock mud to dry (instead of just taking off for lunch or leaving for the day). Very friendly guys who seem to care a lot about the quality of the work. Galen and I talked and we both agree that quality builds relationships and repeat customers. As far as prices go, since they're subcontractors, I can't really separate out their cost at this time. I will definitely use these guys again if the need arises.
Tidy Clean subcontractor on this project did the sheetrock work and re-set the electrical outlets too far into the wall to use the cover plates. I called Galen on Memorial Day to see if he could come out during the week and fix them. He came out that day - his holiday off work! - after stopping to pick up spacers and screws. He didn't need to do that, but wanted it taken care of. How many contractors do you know that will give up a holiday morning off to do domething like this, and drive in from a neighboring town besides? I don't know of any other who would."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/eagle-lake/mastin-and-mueller-remodeling-reviews-6255398.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Tidy Clean Of Minnesota","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Keith H."},"reviewBody":"(See update below) My sump pump died in my finished basement and I got maybe an inch to 2 inches of water. I called Service Master on a Sunday night to come out and vacuum it out of the carpets and laminate flooring. They said I'd have to wait until late the next day or the day after. They recommended Tidy Clean. I called and Will, the manager, was at my door with a vacuum truck a half hour later. He explained what he was doing, told me about how much it would cost and I gave him the go-ahead. He spent a couple of hours getting as much water out as he could. We also discussed other damage that the water might have done and I asked him to check into it. He did and found that a lot of the sheetrock was bad - which he showed me before he did anything. He worked up a very reasonable estimate. They brought in fans and dehumidifiers and pulled up the carpet to get airflow under it. Will told me they'd be able to save the carpets, but the pad had to go. This was done the next morning and it took several days to dry out. They then pulled off 2 feet of sheetrock along the bottom of the walls and replaced it with new, leaving a 1\" gap at the botom so minor water issues wouldn't require that it be replaced again (the gap's covered by the trim anyway). They helped clear our stuff out of the basement and taped and mudded the walls. All of this was done by first telling and showing me what they were going to do and getting permission as well as letting me know the costs. The people he brought in treated us very well, kept the noise and traffic to a minimum and have so far done an excellent job. They got rid of all of the debris and old pad and sheetrock and kept the place as clean as they could, considering. they've always answered my phone calls without my having to go through an automated system or have gotten back to me within an hour if I've left a message. I HIGHLY recommend them. They're doing a great job for me. (Update) Project still isn't completed. Now 5/18/11. At least a couple of weeks to go, at this rate. Only some painting and trim work to do, but they are taking a long time to do it. Tidy Clean subcontracted with mixed results. The painter they used was awful. Fixed his mistakes myself. Flooring guy was excellent - had him do some other work for me as well. Main problem is that they aren't doing the work when promised and some of it is shoddy, requiring them to schedule make up days to fix the glitches, which is annoying. Maybe they've taken on too many jobs. Will broke one of our toilets, replaced it with the wrong one a week ago and still hasn't fixed that. My girlfriend is getting really frazzled and we still have our entire lower level's furniture and so on out in the garage. Which means I can't park in there or get at anything, like my tools. They did hire 2 guys who have their own business out of Eagle Lake (will review separately) who are going out of their way to help with all of this, but they're being kept really busy too. I recommend that if and when you use Tidy Clean for this kind of work, you set up a penalty for not getting the work done in a set amount of time. Otherwise, they do a decent job, especially on the carpets. Oh - the carpets! They really surprised me with the quality of the work they did on cleaning them and replacing the pad. I'd thought I'd have had to throw the carpet away, but they look as good as new."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/mankato/tidy-clean-of-minnesota-reviews-2334489.htm"},"position":10}]}
Concrete Wall Construction reviews from real Angi homeowners in Buffalo Lake, MN
The work was done very professionally. The workers were very polite and let me know what they were doing and if there was anything I could do that would help them out like turning on the outside water for them. They had to bring the patio door in through the house because of a new deck being...

I would recommend staying away from this company. They didn't install the roof correctly and it started leaking within weeks. They would not come find the leak, rather told me to stand outside with a garden hose, water the roof all over, and then run inside to see if I could pinpoint the...
Everything went well, and it was a reasonably good experience. He showed on time, responded quickly, and did a decent job with the walls. Furthermore, he was friendly and outgoing, and he was a bit of a talker.
Quality of work and professionalism are excellent. They are staining and varnishing interior doors and trim too and have been very helpful with ideas to improve the rooms. They always check to make sure that they're doing things as per our spec and have even stayed during the evening to try...

FAQs for concrete wall construction projects in Buffalo Lake, MN
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
