About us

D. S. Bahr Construction, Inc is a growing company that stresses high quality workmanship with a personal touch. We specialize in roofing, siding, deck construction and most facets of exterior remodeling. We handle siding replacement in the twin cities, roofing in the twin cities, as well as all twin cities deck construction. We also perform other types of construction and remodeling for the entire twin cities metro area. When i started D. S. Bahr Construction, Inc in 1990, I decided that there were two important standards that I would maintain for my company: high quality & excellent communication. We use only the highest quality roofing, siding and deck materials backed by strong manufacturers. My Minneapolis roofing contractors know that every job must pass my high standards for quality work. You won't find a deck builder in the twin cities that takes more pride in their quality workmanship. Communication - as a home owner myself, i understand that there's nothing more frustrating than waiting for answers and call backs from companies i need service from. At D. S. Bahr Construction, we guarantee that we'll answer all your questions in a timely fashion. No more waiting indefinitely for a call back to get a bid for decks in St. Paul or roofing in Minneapolis. No more playing "phone tag" when you need answers about house siding in the twin cities. As president of D. S. Bahr Construction, I'm still hands-on and in the field. If you contract us to handle your remodeling and construction needs, you'll always have a link to the owner and president of the company. Please include a contact phone number when emailing for estimates. Award winning.

I didn't pay anything extra. I just thought that the thoroughness of the job was not quite what I expected. They were very prompt and very professional. I just expected a little bit more in terms of thoroughness and work quality.

We had a very large 25 X 70 deck on the back of our house overlooking our pool.  The old deck floor was cedar but not well maintained when we moved in, railings were loose, stairs were very shaky.  I had Dave Bahr come and estimate rework and a replace.  Dave was very timely in coming, listened to what we were thinking, added a few comments, and came back with a couple of different scenarios in a week.  
We had another competitive bid from another Angie's List builder and we ended up choosing DS Bahr due to quality, cost, and time to complete.
Dave uses his own crews, they were very respectful of our property, made sure we were aware of when they were coming, what they were planning to do, and when to see certain parts done.  They pulled all the permits, met with the inspectors, and got right to work.  A couple of unplanned items (structure was in worse shape than we could predict at the start of the project) came up as they got into the repair/replace on the structure - and Myles the foreman came to me with a couple of options on how to go forward.  End result was a much better structure and a better looking product at the end.
Craftsmanship, quality, and value are what we got.  The first night the deck was done we had a pool party - and our deck was a highlight.
Thanks for your hard work and great product!

They just started the job on Tuesday and so are just getting started but I wanted to comment on how punctual they are and very professional.  They do a great job cleaning up every night and have been very easy to work with; I'm excited to see the finished product!

They recommended that I not replace the siding on my home, as he thought I had at least several years left on my current siding. He also suggested that my cedar siding was really better quality than a lot of the siding options out there. 
I really appreciate his candor, and appreciate that he didn't try to sell me something i didn't need. As reference, another contractor came out and quoted me $35k for vinyl siding. Not only did DS Bahr quote me a much lower estimate, but they recommended I wait for a while until I really needed it. 
I would certainly hire DS Bahr for my next siding job; I appreciate their honesty, and their willingness to even tell potential customers to hold off for a bit until they truly need new siding. 
Thanks guys - really appreciate it!

I called Dave and asked him to come inspect the roof. Due to storm damage in the metro area, his company was very busy. I told that it was no hurry to come look at the roof, as from ground level did not look too bad. He returned my call quickly and promised to come look at the roof. Within a few days, he called me while I was work, and said that he inspected the roof and found some minor damage to the roof vents - and he fixed that on the spot! Further, he did not charge for the work.  You could not find a better contractor - if you need anything done with your roof. I highly endorse his company.

It went great. They were in and out quickly plus paid extra attention to an area where I had seen some water stains on the inside of my house. Overall I was happy with their work.

The work was excellent and they did a nice job providing suggestions on color and style. The only issue was there was quite a bit of debris left over after completion, which you couldn't see at the time because of snow cover. They came back promptly though to clean up after the snow melted. I would absolutely consider them for another home remodel project in the future.

Dave Bahr was prompt and professional in all dealings. His crew did an efficient job, completing the work in a little over two days. Even though they necessarily had to drop old shingles into a large garden on the side of the house, they managed to protect the plants and no damage was done. Great work all the way around.

We would not hire this contractor again. My wife reports that she found Mr. Bahr to be cocky and arrogant. Though he obtained a permit to tear off and replace the cedar shakes on the third story of our home in 2013, he failed to arrange for pre-work and final inspections with the City of St. Paul. In 2015, our Realtor advised that the 2013 permit was still "active" even though the work had long been completed and the contractor had been paid in full. Mr. Bahr maintained no records, not even photographs, of the work his company performed on our home. Instead, he made many excuses when my wife dealt with him in 2015. The city inspector wanted us to tear off a 4 x 4" section of Mr. Bahr's work to see if it had been performed to code.. My wife objected and instead offered to have the inspector return to examine Mr. Bahr's work from the inside out when we had our third floor gutted for renovation. Mr. Bahr and his company "dodged a bullet" and did not have to tear off and re-do their 2013 work only because we undertook substantial work on our third floor in 2015 with a reputable contractor. At no time did Mr. Bahr acknowledge any of the tremendous stress he put us through.
Response from D S Bahr Construction Inc
"It is true that the final inspection was not performed, due to our honest oversight. As soon as we where made aware of the situation the homeowner and my company contacted the inspector made arrangements, and after two 30 minute meetings with the inspector the permit was finalized. There where no excuses given. The owner fails to mention that the workmanship is nearly flawless, was completed on time and on budget. The owner also fails to mention their attempt to extort money from my company in return for not posting their review. It is unfortunate that some dishonest people would use Angie's List as a weapon to receive financial gains. This action may make people defending them selves appear "cocky and arrogant" as the owner described Mr. Bahr. A copy of the letter explains it all:[hyperlink removed]"

We are very happy with the work on our new deck.  Dave Bahr worked with us over a 2 year period as we weren't ready to have the deck repaired after our initial quote.  He called us back 6 months later like we asked and was very patient with us.  When we were finally ready Dave was at our house early that morning so we could pick materials.  The crew was ready to start that day.  A dumpster was delivered and the old decking was torn down that same day.  The crew was early every day and were extremely nice to my children as they watched and waved during the days of construction.  The foreman (Myles) was extremely helpful in answering questions.  There were a couple of changes from the original bid and he was quick to quote us a price, which he came in under each time.  At the end of the project the crew cleaned up their mess as well as could be expected with the snow on the ground.  I would highly recommend this company.

David was right on time and he performed a complete analysis of my current deck to assess its condition and age.  David found that the current deck I had was still in good condition and did not need to be replaced.  David recommended that I just clean the deck and apply new stain to help maintain it.  These were services that David did not offer so it was nice to get an honest opinion.

I did still ask for possible designs and estimates if I were to want to replace to the deck which David was more than happy to discuss some of the options I had been considering and discussed pro's and con's to those designs.  I did not get a formal estimate since there was not going to be any work performed at this time but the high level estimates provided were very reasonable.

If I choose to do anything with this deck in the future I would certainly reach out to DS Bahr Construction at that time.

I got estimates from 3 contractors, DS Bahr Construction was the middle one with regard to price and was the only contractor that followed up with me to see if I had any questions, etc..  David was extremely professional, as was his crew.  The work was completed in a very timely manner and the craftsmanship was excellent.  Everyone who looks at my house comments on how good it looks.   I highly recommend DS Bahr Construction.
