"We stopped at the Hoffman Weber exhibit at the State Fair last year. We liked how nice and no-pressure everyone was. The beginning of September we met with Ryan Youngren from Hoffman Weber to take a look at our roof and gutters. He was knowledgeable about the products and what made sense for our house as well as their company philosophy. We decided to replace the roof, soffit and fascia, and gutters. He told us when the job was finished we would be happy with the results - customer satisfaction was very important to them. Shortly after our meeting we were contacted by Brian Thole, our project manager. He gave us a timeline for when the materials would start to arrive and when to expect the workers. He was friendly and reassured us that his goal was to for us to be happy customers when the work was completed. The roofing materials showed up promptly on October 1st as promised and the roofers the next day. Our brand new roof was done in one day! Brian came out to check on the workers and then to inspect the finished job. He asked if we had questions, which he answered, and if we were satisfied with the roof, which we were. Then things got a little dicey. The soffit and fascia arrived on October 3rd, as scheduled, and the two workers a few days later. We started to notice things that seemed off. The guys were working different ends of the house which ended up not matching. Also, these guys were subcontractors from down south and didn’t do things “Minnesota winter” style. Brian said he’d take care of it. The weather turned making it hard to work so now the timeline was stretching out further. Weather can’t be controlled but we were behind because of work having to be redone. HOWEVER, Hoffman Weber was true to their word. Brian worked with the guys until the job was done right, even chipping in to do some of the work and doing the finishing touches himself showing us he was committed to getting the job done right. He was at our house almost as much as we were, making sure we were satisfied! Even though he was managing other jobs, he was always patient, understanding, and generous with his time.. Once the soffit and fascia was done, the gutters and the gutter guys showed up, again on time. They attached our beautiful new gutters in a day. One more tweak to a downspout the next day and our gutters were done. Ryan came back on November 2nd, inspected the work, listened to our experiences - the good, bad and ugly - and made sure before he left that we felt good about the work. He gave us a nicely bound book with all our warranties. We were happy with the work and all the staff involved. They were great to deal with. All of the work, including the wintery weather and the extra time spent on the soffit and fascia, took one month to complete. We chose to write this review in the spring in order to see how our project wintered. Our roof looks great despite a terrible ice dam season, and hearing those new gutters flowing once the snow and ice started to melt was like music to our ears. We now get to go into summer with our house looking like new. Thank you, Hoffman Weber, for a great experience. Thank you, Ryan, for your expertise in pointing us in the right direction and especially, Brian, for being a wonderful problem solver and keeping things on track. We really appreciate the job you did and we will continue to recommend you to others"

"Very well, it was a complicated installation with the existing fireplace having to be cut out with a torch and with both natural gas and electric lines run to the fireplace. Everything got done on time and looks exactly as advertised despite the additional subcontractors required to do the job."

"We worked with Matt Roach/Sunset Construction the summer of 2007 and they were known as Remodel Specialty. They recommended by our Realtor. We got two other bids which came in significantly higher than RSI. Final bill came out to almost exactly what was estimated, although subcontractors bills varied (e.g. siding bill was 2x estimate, but other pieces were lower). Overall RSI s subcontractors seem to have done good work. The carpenters were especially good. RSI did a poor job of dealing with damage done to our driveway by other subcontractors. Work progressed at a steady pace although it took a month to wrap up the last few details. RSI rarely contacted us with progress updates; we had to contact them. Price = good, work = good, customer service = room for improvement."

"Chuck did a great job at explaining things in detail to me and did a thorough job. Very nice guy!"

"Trevor was amazing. Him and his team did high quality work and were very thorough in explaining details to us. They were on time and stayed in constant communication. There were a few minor issues but Trevor was prompt and quick to fix them and was extremely professional. I would highly recommend Trevor and his company Minnesota Construction and Property Management to anyone looking for high quality construction at a very reasonable price and excellent customer service."

"Justin's crew were very fast and completed the task in 2 half-days. Since it is so high up in my back yard, I will wait for nicer weather to give it my FULL inspection but from what I can see, they did a very nice job. I plan to hire them again for other items I still need done. Thanks Justin !"

"It's true: working with Hal is not like working with other contractors. With Hal, you are developing a relationship, not fulfilling the terms of a contract. For some that might be more than they want out of a contractor. For me, it was exactly what I needed. Example: I was talking with Hal about another matter when we both happened to notice some rotting boards on our deck. I thought it was unsightly, but nothing serious. Hal persuaded me that, without immediate attention, the rot would spread to the joists underneath, and what was a small problem now would be a big problem later. He replaced the deck boards on time and for the price he quoted. I can now rest assured I won't be plunging through the deck this summer. Along the way, Hal fixed some off-kilter gates in our yard, and also consulted with me about some stains on our stucco (thus managing to solve a problem that had stumped several other contractors). He's always on the end of the line when I have a home repair question. He's been there for me for some five years now. There's plenty of quality workers out there, but not many who will listen as well, contribute as much, and return as often as Hal Morris."

"Overall, it was a good job. I thought it was a bit pricey but didn't get another estimate. Cady hired a sub-contractor named J and M Services, who does remodeling projects."

"It took a long time - over 6 months. Part of that was because the plan kept evolving over time. Part because it was difficult to get subcontractors in when we were ready for them. Part because we had to wait sometimes for the Five Star guys to break away from another job. Part because as new things came up, we had to negotiate what we would do and what Five Star would do."

"I purchased a Big Deal from Angie's list for Gula. They were quite simply awesome. Dmitriy took the time to walk through my house and look at every project, estimate it out for how I could get the most for my Big Deal and then we started scheduling. The work happened over a period of time which was great for me. He was also available to answer my questions as I was deciding on which flooring to choose for the kitchen. All of the installers were professional and did great work. I get complimented by everyone who sees the floor. I would (will) choose them again for any work I need done around the house."
