I absolutely LOVE how my chimney turned out! I'm sending pictures and recommending Guardian to everyone I know, including a contractor I talked to the other day! Guardian rebuilt my chimney from the roofline up. I was so nervous because of several bad remodeling experiences in the past, but not this time! Guardian is the absolute best! Everything went so smoothly! Talking to Joseph, the owner, over the phone, from the very start, was a very pleasant experience. I was able to send him pictures of my chimney, via my cell phone, and he got back to me within the hour with an estimate, and then he assured me that if the job went over the estimate, for any reason, he would pay for it out of his own pocket. Amazing! This was a one-day job. Joseph, came to the door at the start of the job to introduce himself. His team arrived on time, worked very hard all day long, and were very cheerful, polite, and respectful. The crew is a top-notch team. I'm still amazed at how well they matched the color and pattern of the brick to the lower part of my chimney - even the mortar matches perfectly! And there wasn't one piece of debris left in my yard! Those guys are priceless! Joseph, You run your company like no one else I know! This is the first positive experience I've ever had when having to hire someone to do construction on my home! Start to Finish, top-class experience! Thank you so much

I was very happy with the professionalism and the fact that they use their own crews instead of subcontractors. I got the impression that they did everything right, not quick and dirty.

Craftsman?s Choice is the best contractor I have ever worked with. My wife an I had the pleasure of working with Ben throughout our project. From start to finish Ben demonstrated his honesty, professionalism, and commitment to our project. The end result is amazing, the James Hardie product is beautiful, professionally installed and will last a lifetime. Out project consisted of removing original shake siding and brickwork on our St Louis Park house and garage. The Craftsman's Choice crew then replaced the siding with James Hardie lap and shake siding as well as added stonework to the front of the house. This was no small task, as expected with any projects, minor issues arose. Ben and his team went way above and beyond to address any issue that came up. This is the true test of any contractor, Craftsman?s Choice honestly impressed us every step of the way. I have never worked with a contractor with more integrity. When having James Hardie installed, it was important to us to have the project complete by a contractor who only installs Hardie. We made the right choice out of the few contractors serving the Twin Cities. If you are looking for a contractor who will do great work, on time, for a reasonable cost, on budget, with high integrity and professionalism ? hire Craftsman?s Choice

CCI was great to work with. They know their stuff and the work is quality. We love our new home exterior. They were in the middle of the pack for quotes, and I arranged for the masonry and plumbing work, but they arranged everything else. No monetary overage occurred. Jeff is an amazing project manager. He is the definition of "Git r Done." I will say that I had to project manage a few times to push for dates and updates, but all in all, it all got done and it got done well. Do not hesitate; use CCI

We selected Craftsman's Choice based upon reviews on the James Hardie WEB site and reviews on Angie's List. We contacted the company and Ben came to our home to discuss the project and give us a quote. Ben was very personable and explained the work and answered all of our questions to our satisfaction. Ben gave us a list of customers in our area and we looked at several of the homes to evaluate the work appearance and quality. The work was started as scheduled and took a little longer than planned due to weather issues. A project manager (Chris) was assigned to our job and he was knowledgeable and professional. A 3 person crew was assigned to do the siding, soffit, fascia, door and window wrap work. The same crew (Eric, Rick and Bennie) worked dally until the work was done (about 3 weeks). We were impressed with their work and their professional skills. They answered all of our questions that arose during the work process in a direct and pleasant manner. The stone work was performed in 1 day by a separate crew from a subcontractor. The stone work was done to our satisfaction and looks very nice. The painting was performed about a week after the siding completion (to allow for the caulking to cure) in one day by a crew of 3 people. Ben had noted that there was some rotting wood around 4 of our windows and said that when the siding was torn off that they would evaluate what needed to be done. It was determined that the windows needed to be removed to repair the damage. Ben did not pressure us but proposed replacing the windows rather than reinstalling the old (20 year old) windows. We chose to replace the windows and that was done after they arrived in 1 day by a crew of 3. This crew was different that those that did the siding but were also very knowledgeable and professional. Overall, the house looks great and we are very pleased with the results of the work performed by Craftsman's Choice. We believe that they gave us a fair price and just took care of a number of minor things that came up during the process without charging us for each and every item. Everyone that worked on our home was personable, highly skilled, and professional. We enjoyed interacting with them as the work progressed. We would have liked to have a little more pro-active communication from them during the various work steps to keep us informed about pending deliveries and starting dates for the various work steps. We discussed this concern with Ben (one of the company owners) during a follow-up visit and he said they were growing rapidly as a company and planned to improve on this communication work. Everyone (neighbors, friends, and relatives) that has seen our home has commented on how nice it looks and our neighbors were particularly impressed with the crew's daily clean-up to keep the home as neat and tidy as possible during the work process. We would highly recommend Craftsman's Choice to anyone that wanted siding and related work performed on their home

Our old garage was literally sinking into the ground, so we new we needed to replace it. We shopped around for years and ultimately got a bid from Craftsman because they had done such great work with other window and woodworking projects we've had. They came in at about the same price as two of our other lowest estimates, but with higher quality materials (HardiePlank instead of vinyl siding, etc) and we knew that they take pride in their work and were easy to work with. So we went with them. They tore down the old garage, laid the new foundation and framed it up in 2 weeks--it was lighting fast. After that, there was a bit of a delay in getting the siding up and finishing the project, but overall it was inordinately fast, about 4-5 weeks until final inspection, and all of our neighbors were surprised by the speed, quality and professionalism of the crew. The final product is beautiful, they are one of the best companies in the country for installing HardiePlank, the garage is extra tall, with an 8 foot tall door, 2x6 construction, plenty of storage room, and everything that we wanted. We had a fence that connected to the old garage and Craftsman even took care of moving the door and a panel to make it work with the new garage (larger footprint), as well as removing a bush to make a new path along side the garage. They took care of all the little details and didn't nickel-and-dime us, they just looked at it as one project that they wanted to do to our complete satisfaction, and they did so. We will definitely keep using them for any project they'll do and strongly recommend them. We have used a lot of contractors over the years to work on our old house, and they are the best in terms of a combination of quality/professionalism/price

We met with Mike (sales person) at our home. Mike was very professional and attentive. We had a list of questions, and also gave him several 13" x 19" computer renderings of exactly what we wanted to have done. We were very prepared. Mike answered all of our questions. Craftsman's Choice also has some nice features such as having your project in the cloud so you can just check on when different segments of your job is being scheduled. They also provide you with a very detailed bid. We received Mike's bid via an email. We had originally started out with three businesses all chosen from a very extensive and detailed search of many sites including Angie's List. One of the businesses we eliminated because they would not email a bid, but wanted a face-to-face meeting to present the bid, which we did not want. Both remaining businesses (Craftsman's Choice and one other) were extremely competitive in their bids. We (my wife and I) finally made a 12 category questionnaire in which we could grade each business between a 1 and a 10. Both businesses came out exactly the same average points. Better in some areas, worse in others. We finally went with the other firm only because of several Angie's List reviews that indicated a similar problem with Craftsman's Choice, but this was minor. We emailed Mike informing him we had chosen another firm. Mike emailed us back and was very professional and even asked how he could improve his presentation. We are very sure that we would have been pleased with the work if we had chosen Craftsman's Choice. But in the end you have to choose one business. Both were extremely competitive in pricing and professional in their presentation. And if the other business (which did not have those few negative reviews) did not exist, we would have gone with Craftsman's Choice without hesitation. In the end it was a "gut decision" and one which was hard for us to make

What's the saying? All is well that ends well? That does a pretty good job summing up our experience with CC. I can recommend them without hesitation and plan on future business. There were problems that came up, some were quite significant, but it's not so much there were challenges but more of an issue of how CC handled those issues. While the idea of residing our house was something discussed, we had ugly EIFS (aka - fake stucco) and equally noxious vinyl siding, we didn't have that push to undertake a whole-home residing project. Until, that is, we found evidence of water intrusion. The moisture found was under a window located on the main floor. And my-oh-my was there damage. All framing directly underneath this window was completely rotten. Blackened framing that looked horrible. The cause was improper flashing on a brick row which funneled water directly into the wall ? 14 years of damage, BAD. This was the first sign of trouble and what got us to move on this project. Knowing the reputation of EIFS and with the damage discovered under the window we decided it was time to get some work done. Contacted CC and other contractors to solicit a bid for the job. Keith from CC was our initial contact. We made arrangements to meet and discuss our needs and get a quote for the work to be done. The scope of the project was fairly large: - Reside house - Repair framing / insulation / vapor barrier / drywall under window due to water intrusion - Replace window - Remove top level of bricks and install a masonry cap with proper pitch When we first met Keith we were impressed with his readiness and demeanor ? I would describe it as quietly reassuring. We showed him the damaged framing and window, discussed our initial ideas on siding and what we'd like to achieve once the job was all done. With that Keith departed and informed us it would be approximately 1 week to pull together the needed information and provide us with a cost estimate. This all occurred during the Christmas holiday period so we were impressed with his attentiveness during a busy time for everyone. The cost estimate was emailed to us and provided exact detail on everything outlined. Trust me when I say, you will have few questions about the scope of their work. We reviewed their ?Siding Proposal Details? which clearly outlines what they will (and won't) do including details on what they will and won't repair should it be damaged during the siding installation process (this was relevant in our case). At this point we were reasonably confident that CC would be our choice and after a couple of back-and-forths with Keith on what our ColorPlus color choice would be we gave the green light and got things rolling. Approximately 5 weeks passed and was then notified all material were ready and CC got started. Job commenced and a crew of about 6 laborers arrived. The project manager, Jeff, made a routine appearance but otherwise the crew-lead, Chris, was the daily go-to for anything. Was told the job would take approximately 4 weeks and despite some thoroughly rotten spring weather they were true to their word. Now there were some problems along the way ? it's a big job so no surprise there. The first issue was how the crew sided a bump-out. The renderings Keith had done showed the whole of the bump-out sided in shingles. The first attempt at siding this area was not going to work ? it looked nothing like shown in renderings so we asked them to do it over. The problem was Jeff, the project manager, was not receptive to the idea. In fact he was rather obstinate. He made it clear that the job needed to get finished up and at this late stage a redo wasn't going to work. From our perspective: wrong answer. We made it clear that was not acceptable and made it clear to him. Well, perhaps we caught Jeff at a bad time, everyone has a bad day, but Chris surfaced the issue and made it clear that they'll do what they need to do to fix it. Which they did. Removed the siding as originally installed and on the second try got it spot on. Excellent. The only other issue, and this was a big one, had to do with some damage done to a whole-home generator that sits adjacent to our home. There wasn't any damage done to the generator itself ? it was the wiring within the wall near the generator. These generators are about the size of small refrigerator lying on its side. They kick on when the current cuts-out. It was discovered, while CC was installing siding near the generator, that the generator was not starting for its weekly exercise ? yes, that's what they call it, exercise. I contacted the electrician that did the installation and to make a long story short it was discovered (after a LOT of time diagnosing the problem) a nail had missed its mark, the framing stud, and pierced the wiring conduit holding the power lines running from the generator to the sub-panel - OUCH. This caused a short which prevented the generator from starting. Not good. I was informed by the electrician that none of his time was covered under the generator's warranty which meant we were on the hook for his time. And that time is EXPENSIVE. It was a BIG bill. This wasn't a pierced AC freon line. This was MANY hours of an electrician's time. I asked the electrician to directly invoice CC and informed both Keith and Jeff of what happened and our expectation that they will cover this cost. Without hesitation they informed me they would cover the cost and were fine with the direct billing by the electrician. After some back-and-forth with the electrician and CC we finally got things ironed out between the two parties and the electrician was paid for his time. All is well that ends well. Now, it should be said that one of the reason we were very enthusiastic about hiring CC is they explicitly state in their ?Siding Proposal Details? the following: CC fixes any damage to your wiring or AC-lines caused by the siding installation at no additional charge. Believe me, lots can go wrong on these jobs and this is a perfect example. At a previous home we had reside by a different contractor and with damage to our AC lines we understood the importance of having a contractor that will repair those things they damage. This is a perfect example of something that can go horribly wrong for both customer and contractor but did not because of how CC chose to deal with the issue: they were true to their word. Priceless! Strengths: - Easy to work with ? everyone, from Keith to the siding crew - Attentive and responsive - Leaves work site in good condition - Stand behind their work Would I hire CC again? Absolutely

We selected Craftsman's Choice on the strong recommendation of our perfectionist neighbor, who was satisfied with their work. During the project, I had numerous others stop by to tell me that they had used Craftsman's Choice, too, and were pleased with the service. We had extensive work done--a complete redo of the exterior of our home, which is now one of the best-looking houses in the neighborhood. I was completely satisfied with the work quality, professionalism, and particularly the character of Ben Juncker, who worked with us closely throughout the process. Ben understood that we lead busy lives and that he would have to take charge not only of his responsibilities of the project (employees, scheduling, etc.), but that he would have to be persistent in helping guide us through our decisions and to make it easy for us to do our part to keep the project moving along. In short, Ben was able to manage us as well as his employees. I had enough confidence in Ben's character and attention to detail to let him make certain selections, and we were not disappointed by doing so. In sum, I would hire Craftsman's Choice again, and have plans to do so for another project next spring

"Robert came out and explained what it would take to do the work. Also suggested alternatives. He followed up with a voicemail. I will all contractors were this responsive and professional!"
I started in the Masonry business in 1976 and have been working ever since. I started my business in 1980 and incorporated in 1986. We are a small company with an experienced crew. They've all worked with me for the last 20 years. Experienced with working with condo associations and large building tuck pointing, brickwork, and stone work
"Roger, the owner, is very knowledgeable and flexible. He was willing to extra spend time with me as we jointly decided what design would be best for the top of the chimney. As a bonus, he gave me the option (which I took) to use some high quality brick that he had left over from a previous project for a discount. Replacing all of the brick and the flue at the chimney base without having tons of brick above it collapse, destroying the house, is advanced masonry work. I had contacted other highly rated masons from Angie's List also. They all returned my calls and said that they would give me quotes, but didn't even though I contacted them multiple times. They didn't say why they wouldn't give me a quote, but my educated guess is that they hadn't replaced the entire base of an existing chimney. Curt, Chris and Pete were the masons that worked on our chimney. Their work was very well done and they were friendly. Our roof is moderately steep, so they set up scaffolding from the ground with a bridge then going to the chimney. Because masons are not allowed by St Paul city code to replace the chimney liner, I pulled a permit and replaced it myself. After I did this, Curt from Rogers Masonry, kindly came back and installed brick around the opening in the basement where the liner exits the chimney going to the boiler. I presumed that I would have to do this, so this was a pleasant surprise. Chris cleaned up the original clean out door, that was cast in St Paul, at the bottom of the chimney so that it could be reinstalled... a classy touch. Because most masons were unwilling to bid on this project, it is difficult to tell how competitive Rogers Masonry bid was. The bid that I received from Rogers was not inflated. However, the 'B' rating for cost represents the small number of masons willing to bid on the work... which isn't Rogers Masonry fault. For the quality and expertise of work done by Rogers Masonry, it would be mistake not obtain a bid from them on your masonry project. I'm very pleased with the company, the employees and the work performed. The work that Rogers performed looks much nicer than the quality of brick laying that was originally done over 100 years ago. I strongly recommend them without reservation. The included images are all of the base of chimney in the basement. Note that the mortar is all tooled (the originals were not) and the courses are neatly layed... even though it's in a basement where it doesn't matter. FYI: The mortar around the chimney liner in one of the images is a darker because those bricks were just installed... filling the opening that was left so that I could install the liner.

"We have been getting bids for the last four years for a deck. Finally we found a vendor who was amazing. Their honesty, workmanship, reliability, and project management went above and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend Dupont for your construction needs.

"Shawn and his crew did a fantastic job on this project. I have had a number of contractors pour concrete for me in the past and he is by far the best I have dealt with. His attention to detail is second to none and wants to make sure things are done right for the best looking and longest lasting slab as possible. He was very reachable by phone and email and was very punctual when it came to the project as a whole. He was willing to spend time with me when I had questions which I really appreciated. Compared to the other buildings around me this is by far the nicest slab. I would highly recommend Shawn and his team for any project.
