Craftsmen Home Improvements, founded in 1991 is an award-winning contractor specializing in roofing, siding, windows, and decks. Craftsmen uses the highest quality materials, backed by the longest, most extensive product warranties available. Awarded the Angie's List Super Service Award every year since 2004. We offer James Hardie siding, and Vinyl siding, Owens Corning and GAF shingles, Andersen Windows, Marvin Windows, Hayfield Windows, Richlin Windows, Pella Windows. (We have a 5 window minimum) (Gutters only in conjunction with roof or siding), (We do not do roof, siding or window repairs)

"For a number of of years we deferred replacing the vinyl siding on our house that was poorly installed and had deteriorated horribly, but after our son and daughter-in-law had their home beautifully redone with Hardiboard siding installed by Craftsmen Home Improvements we knew it was our time. Based on my son’s experience and recommendation, we opted for CHI to install James Hardie siding and soffits and couldn’t be more satisfied with that decision. The work crew (Ray and Luis Nava) were fantastic in all ways; communication, skill and workmanship. They worked tirelessly and efficiently(even in some harsh winter temperatures) and always informed me of issues they encountered with our somewhat “wonky” house 😏 that they addressed with proper solutions. The end result is a stunning transformation of our house that only disappoints us that we didn’t do this sooner! Thank you CHI and especially Ray and his team!"

I own and operate my business myself with some part time help. I do all of the estimating and installing, so you deal with only one person the whole time. I DO NOT sub out any work. I also offer a 10% discount if you mention Angies list and sign up to do the work at the time of original estimate. I offer payment through Paypal (which accepts credit cards), check, or cash.

"It went very well. Brad was easy to connect with by phone. Very responsive related to scheduling. Very knowledgeable, and did a great job with the repair of my window."

Platinum Remodeling and Handyman Services was founded in February of 2005 when I bought out House Doctors-Southwest Metro. I had been the operations manager of House Doctors since it's inception in late 2002. I ran all of the day to day operations, estimated, scheduled, and managed all projects. When I started Platinum, I hired three of my previous co-workers and we never missed a beat! I have a degree in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Strategies from Iowa State University. This business degree paired with my experience and passion for residential remodeling made this venture a perfect fit. I am the third generation of Shonkwilers to own a construction company. I grew up in the remodeling and construction industry working for my father's company, Shonkwiler Brothers Construction. My father got started working with my grandfather and his company, Shonkwiler Construction. As of September 2007 my father has joined my team. I'm excited to bring his 32+ years in the residential construction industry, unmatched craftsmanship, integrity, and small town Iowa work ethic to the Twin Cities! I have acquired great employees with unique skill sets allowing us to complete a wide variety of projects. All employees are highly capable and take pride in a job well done. My employees are all "handy", but each has their own specialties and I use the employee that best suits your project. All employees have undergone background checks and drug tests. They are bonded and covered by workers compensation. I also have great subcontractors that I use on large projects and where licensed professionals (electricians, machinists, plumbers) are needed. We also use specialty subcontractors for things like large drywall projects, Cambria or stone countertops, floor refinishing, landscaping.....among many others. All of our work comes with a one year warranty on the labor, all materials carry the manufacturer's warranty. All subcontractors warrant their work as well. I have a Minnesota Residential Remodeler's license. The company is covered by liability insurance, worker's compensation and the employees are bonded.

"Platinum was excellent to work with. I have worked with them in the past as well. They are responsive, and the communications are both thorough and prompt. They always showed up when they said would, and they did what they said they would do. The project was completed quickly (but without shortcuts), and we actually came in under budget. I recommend them highly."

"old school" "traditional" "word of mouth" quality, attention to detail. although I do require 1/2 down payment upon start.

"He is amazing. He laid the tile out so that the veining looked as if it had been cut from a single slab (for the fireplace). The bathroom flooring was the same so visually it looked like continuous slabs of tile. The shower stall, back-splash , and tiled wall had little “dots” randomly placed for accent. As you might imagine a painstaking process. The areas were beautiful. Lex is talented with tile mechanics and also tile art. He is very collaborative and it was fun to work with him on these projects. The pricing might seem high at first, but he is such a good and efficient worker that it pays off in the long run. You will end up with a space that looks like one of those pictures in Houzz ."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals can install decorative or colored glass block patterns for a unique look.

Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.

Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.

Glass block windows last about 15 to 30 years, which is the same amount of time, if not slightly less, than standard windows. Standard windows last 20 to 50 years. You can extend the life of your glass block windows by resealing them every few years. Hiring a pro for installation is also key to windows that will function properly for years to come.

Installing glass block windows has benefits and disadvantages, as with most materials. The pros and cons can vary depending on the type of glass block and the window location.

Pros

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair
