"The team educated me on my fireplace as I moved into a home where I have never had a real fire place before. It was super helpful to know how to properly use my fireplace and how to do so safely. Would recommend to a friend and would use again"

"Jerry and his crew were great! We foster a lot of rescue dogs so it was impossible to grow grass in our yard and we were tired of the mud pit every time it rained or snow melted. Turf was a great solution and the dogs love it. Jerry took his time explaining our options that would be best for dogs. They were courteous and fast with installation. Highly recommend them."

"In the end the work was excellent. The first technician did not do a complete cleaning of the fireplace. Although he vacuumed and cleaned the glass, he did not remove the logs nor did he remove the lava rocks. He also did not turn off the gas to check the pilot, etc. per manual instructions. And he did not vacuum the rug of some of the dirt from vacuum. I called the owner and explained the situation. He apologized and we rescheduled with the most experienced technician. I also asked if they would clean the refrigerator coils as an additional service. He said yes and would charge $59 for the fridge. Jesse and Chris did an complete fireplace cleaning, removed the lava rocks and replaced them with fireplace wool, reinstalled the logs, and checked the pilot light, etc. He also went over some of the fire place control operation. Additionally they vacuumed the rug before they went on to clean the fridge: vacuumed, air hosed, wiped floors, walls and all sides of fridge. I am pleased with their work and would highly recommend Jesse and Chris. I respectfully suggest the company does retraining with the first tech."

"Great job installing ceiling bathroom vent in a difficult area. Explained process whole way thru and did great job keeping work site clean. Knowledgeable and fair price for the work."

"We hired Absolute Masonry to repair our chimney that had been damaged by a falling tree branch. They were able to fit us into their schedule the day after I called which was great because the roofers were waiting for the chimney repair before replacing the roof that had also been damaged by the tree branch. They did an excellent job repairing the chimney and the cleanup was so good we could not tell that anyone had been there. There was no residue on the roof and no mess left in the yard. Our experience with Absolute Masonry was great and we would not hesitate to hire them again."

"Great company and installers were courteous and friendly"

"I had old shrubs and rocks pulled out. I needed a lot of soil as it has eroded around the house. They installed new window wells on the side. We kept the shrubs and plants on the side and in the back and added new plastic and rocks. They provided three yews in the front and I purchased the others at Bachman's. The team came and worked about three hours. They did a great job. I'm really happy. It's been in now almost six weeks. They also needed to add a couple of rows of sod in the front. I've received lots of compliments. Definitely would hire again."

"It was a pleasant experience having MN Grown Service do my kitchen vent hood installation. He plans ahead,, is organized and competent. Cleans up when done. Dan is a very nice man you can trust."

"We had a crumbling retaining wall for years. We found out our neighbor was replacing her driveway while we were getting quotes and Jamin came through with a competitive quote right away and he was able to schedule our replacement quickly. His team began work the next day and in several days we had a beautiful wall, skillfully installed with respect to our neighbors and us throughout the installation. No questions were left unanswered and we had no surprises along the wall. Now we have an awesome looking wall that will last for years. Thanks Jamin and team."
