around chimney and insulation blown into crawl space. New footings were installed under existing deck because the old ones rose up and complete bathroom remodel (very nice job). Finally, we had the over existing deck roof extended over deck to accommodate new foyer (we built) The pricing was good for the amount of work performed, but when asked to price foyer addition the price was extremely high (7500 - this was additional work after initial estimate) given they were there already doing the other work (thought was they were there shouldn?t be that much more for an 8X8 addition (three walls, two windows, one door - roof already installed). Responsiveness was good, but being on the job was not always good. Example some days the men would not show for work when then day before they said they would be back. We received no call telling us they would not be in (we had to initiate the call asking where they were and when they would be back). The young carpenter (Adam) was great. Very professional and skilled craftsmen?s. I would have him back to work on my house again.

I had to explain the dried, drip-like, red stuff was from glueing and screwing down the floor boards. Second, he told me that my modular home (stick built 2x6, indoor constructed home) was nothing but a "Glorified Mobile Home". Third, he said that no-one would pay extra for an attached and heated three car garage nor would they pay extra for a brand new steel pole building, therefore, he applied no value on the $40,000.00 pole building and only a 1/3 value on the completely finished and heated three car garage. Fourth, he said there was no value in a Ground Source Heat Pump and using ICF forms for our walk-out basement (10' Walls). I found him unknowledgable in construction and definately not professional.

For example, turn the building (for future barn he was preparing pad for) this way to blend with the site better, back your boat in with more ease, cause less soil to have to be removed and hauled in (we're on a hill), to be seen less from Lake Superior and for a more aesthetic appearance. I think some of his reluctance to quote job costs is that as he gets into a job, unknowns dictate a change. In our case, we hit rock and water not very far down and after Joe's recommendation changed the orientation slightly and I got another retaining wall to fill with pretty plantings. Working with Joe and Barbara Mecklin is great. They also know everyone and are helpful with suggestions for other services and people that newcomers need to know about. Also, as we asked other people for recommendations for sources of rock, sand, excavating, landscaping etc., Joe's name kept coming up.

I usually do not write reviews but when it comes to Trinity they deserve one. As with many others, when looking for someone to do your concrete work, you call and call to get someone who will actually call back which are one or two out of a dozen. In my case, I had lined someone up in January...

Rising S Bunkers offers the best underground steel shelters, bomb shelters, safe rooms & blast doors on the market. We lead the industry in quality and we have the highest standards for craftsmanship in underground bunkers and other emergency shelters. The Rising S standard of quality is unmatched by any other bunker company on the market today. Additionally, every project is completely customizable. Many customization's are available at no additional cost.
"Not even sure where to begin with this nightmare which I will now need to spend more money in legal just to get my money back if I'm lucky. It all started back in 2022 when a respectful salesperson Gary sold me on an underground bunker. Still to this day, he answers the phone for me, and he doesn't even work at Rising S company anymore. To keep a long story shorter, I paid over $100K for my unit after being pushed to make payments to 'keep it on the assembly line'. It has been paid in full since August of 2023 (just about 15 months for anyone counting). I received a response (finally) earlier this year in March that there is new ownership of the company, and the man in charge is Brad Dancer. After trying to contact for quite awhile, I did finally get him on the phone. He apologized and explained to me that he's in over his head. Even though I believe I have been more than patient, I agreed to give him some time to finish and deliver my unit. We agreed that August of this year (2024) I would have it. I checked in by email in June to ask if we were still on track. I received a response that we were indeed on track. Now fast forward to today (10/25/24), I have been completely ghosted by email, phone, and text. No responses at all by ANY form of communication. At this point, I realize I have been robbed of over $100K. And after reading many other consumers reviews on different platforms, it appears I'm not the only one. I will now begin my journey with the Attorney General and Legal process. I'll update my status here so anyone can see what happens. At least people can get answers some way. It is not a good feeling to not be able to get a company to call you, especially after they've taken over $100k. You can't even leave a message on the office line ( which no one has EVER answered by the way). I don't understand how a company like this could still be in business. My recommendation to anyone reading this.....I hope it's not too late for you."

FAQs for concrete wall construction projects in Esko, 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.
