...Demolished the wall for Remediation.

...After remediation was complete, installed a temporary supportive wall, T-111 Siding, Caulked, new electrical outlet, window casing, baseboards, primed and painted the wall to match the rest of the room.

...Found a supporting post that was decaying and replaced it with my approval.

...Upon discovering the source of the leak [not roof], installed new flashing on exterior beam.

...Removed furniture in the room and moved it back in when  job was completed.  Window shudders were replaced.

...The cost included material purchased.

He is honest, professional, work was excellent and is a pleasant person to work with.

His price is reasonable compared to other estimates.

Neil did a professional job on everything, is very honest and wonderful to work with. 
 
Last year he installed a 160-foot Cedar Fence with a lattice front and it turned out great.

Neil made himself available on very short notice and worked several days, including the weekend, to help us with a raft of projects as we ready our house for sale. He is honest, hardworking, has a positive attitude and is willing to tackle a wide range of projects. Neil will work with the homeowner on projects-he and my husband laid the flooring a did several other tasks in tandem. We used him previously on an extensive remodel at our lake house and were very satisfied. He lives in Cokato but serves the Twin Cities.

This was a huge undertaking that was made more managable because we picked (thanks to Angies List) the right person for our job. We got bids from other companies with multiple employees for specified work at a specified price, but decided to go with Neil on an hourly basis so that we could be fluid about just what was done. As we moved along we/he discovered a lot of damage or substandard work that we choose to have him repair or replace. Strengths:Interest and ability to do a wide variety of tasks, pleasant,honest and of excellent character, open to help from the homeowner, huge assortment of tools and equiptment, has an on call electrician for complicated work. Not the cheapest or fastest, but does good work and offers value for money spent. Neil currently lives in Litchfield so prefers to work in the western suburbs or further toward home.

Neil is an incredibly honest person. He is trustworthy and at all times fun to be around. Neil's prices are very fair. I have no hesitation to hire him for any construction or remodeling work around my home.

THE FINISHED PROJECT WAS EXCEPTIONAL AND IT WAS AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. VERY HIGH STANDARDS - OUTSTANDING ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND A PERFECTIONIST. TRUSTWORTHY - WE WERE COMFORTABLE LEAVING THE HOUSE EVEN THOUGH HE WAS HERE WORKING. A VERY PLEASANT, NEAT AND PROFESSIONAL PERSON TO HAVE WORKING IN YOUR HOME. WE WERE EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING NEIL DID FOR US. NO TRAVEL CHARGE - PRICE WAS FAIR AND REALISTIC. WE WILL HIRE HIM AGAIN IN A HEART BEAT.
