  Kuechle Construction Company

  What a professional group of guys. It was nice to come home to a cleaned work area, in the past work crews have left behind garbage, tools and scraps of work in the yard, it���s really a nice feeling to have people care as much about my home as I do.

  SHEP'S CONSTRUCTION

  Mark and his crew are very professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. Mark was very helpful in helping us to understand what needed to be done on the deck and entrance overhang and in explaining our options. Once we decided on a plan, the crew was here in about 2 weeks and worked on the project until it was done. They were also very careful to clean up the work areas every day. Everything came out perfectly and we would highly recommend Mark and his crew.

  The Legacy Building Co Inc

  Craig and Legacy did a great job on a highly complex project. His team designed a solution to reclaim the integrity of a structure that was peripheral to my main house (Two decks, a sunroom, and a screened-in porch). The structure was settling down the edge of a steep ravine slope. I solicited the help of many commercial and residential companies before I met Craig. None of them could solve the problem effectively. They were either prohibitively expensive or were intimidated by the difficulty of the job. Craig embraced the challenge from the outset. While not cheap, his pricing was fair, and he was always communicative and transparent. In a business where the customer often exists at the mercy of the contractor's honesty, I have no hesitation recommending Craig to friends and others.

  MONNENS CUSTOM BUILDERS INC

  It took them over a year to get everything done, and that is way too long. He walked off the job before it was done. The pipes in the faucets and shower were put in wrong so the cold water is on the hot side and the hot water is on the cold side. He hired a tile person that laid down cracked tiles. We had to hire a second tile person to take that up and replace them. He was supposed to hire an electrician to install humidifiers in the bathroom but he did it himself. He did the plumbing for the faucets himself instead of hiring a plumber. The work has never been inspected because he just walked off the job and I am worried about that when it comes time to sell the house. He was very argumentative the whole time and was never on time.

  VOEHL CONSTRUCTION INC

  We needed a new concrete driveway as our old one was cracked and unsightly.  We were also interested in getting a heated driveway as the driveway faced northwest and had ice on it every time it thawed during the winter.  After 15 years we were tired of the ice and decided to look into the new heated driveway systems.  I got three estimates for the concrete work from companies willing to work with a heated driveway.  Voehl was the best estimate and the easiest to work with. The owner was there working with the crew during the project.  He worked well with the electric contractor.  They re-sloped the driveway as the old driveway wasn't sloped quite right. They started the job when they were supposed to and finished on time.  The concrete looks great great and is sloped properly so water runs off like it's supposed to.  It still looks like new two seasons later.  The heated driveway works great too.  I would recommend them to do any concrete driveway.

  DIGIACOMO HOMES INC

  We had a warranty dispute with DiGiacomo Homes two years after the project's completion.  Several months after involving various local and state agencies, we were given a check by DiGiacomo to use to hire a roofer to entirely replace the roof put on by DiGiacomo that was failing.

  Avid Builders Inc

  During the last three decades my husband and I have worked with builders on both new construction and remodels 6 times. Lamont Steinwand of Avid Builders just completed a major remodeling project and is by far (and we mean by far) the best. On a scale of 1-5, Lamont is a 10. He is truly a trusted advisor. When we would offer a solution, he would quickly get to the problem we
  were trying to solve and offer alternatives and his recommendation.
  Lamont provided outstanding customer service.
  * He communicated frequently and always returned phone calls and emails almost immediately
  * He provided frequent updates on the status of our project, including time and costs.
  
  * When there were issues (the very few that there were), he resolved them to our complete satisfaction.
  * When they were done with the project the house was pristine.
  * He went above and beyond what was required for the project in ways far too numerous to mention.
  The quality of Avid���s work:
  * Avid���s attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship are evident.
  * Their subs are superb. The workmanship of our new master bath cabinets, for example, are better than any cabinets we���ve ever
  had.
  * They installed gorgeous wood floors throughout the house which were hand sealed with many coats and are spectacular.
  In sum, it���s been a pleasure to work with a truly competent builder who communicates effectively and is committed to quality. To say that we highly recommend them is an understatement. They���re the best!

  Serk Homes & Remodeling LLC

  I contacted Cameron after discovering damage to floors and ceiling due to a leaking dishwasher.  He responded right away.    He was prompt and professional and answered all my questions.  He provided a couple of different estimates and explained each step of every process of the construction.  He did his best to keep things affordable for us, and were lucky enough to be under the estimated budget.  He kept me apprised every step of the way.  The end result was better than we could have imagined.  I would recommend him to anyone!!

  LRS Construction Inc

  Lonnie came to our home on numerous occasions to talk about the foundation. We agreed (and paid for) poured concrete walls from Superior Walls. After the closing (and the money had been disbursed), I was told that, sorry, Superior Walls had gone out of business, and now we had to use cement block "at no extra cost." It just so happens that cement block is half the cost of poured concrete, so who was going to pocket that money? Not us, apparently. We notified Lonnie that we were terminating our contracts on Oct. 31. It is now Thanksgiving, and we have received not a dime of our $12,000, nor an accounting of where the money is. In fact, Lonnie no longer answers our phone calls.
  
  Update: It's now June 2012, and he still refuses to return the money. We're suing him and working with the Carver County Sheriff's Office to bring him to justice for stealing our money.

  Autumn Leaf Homes

  He seems like a very personable guy, but he ended up stealing from our construction loan. He is a serial thief with well more than $100,000 of unpaid judgments against him across Minnesota. In our case, he made a huge mistake by, immediately after closing, he ordered a house for our lot without a survey or even walking off the lot. As a consequence, the house was too big for the lot -- more than 30 feet too big! He tried to blame the bank because the MLS listing for the lot was wrong, but a good builder will actually measure the lot before ordering a house. He tried to get the bank to pay for the extra costs (about $50K of having to build a two-story (which we had never wanted, as the house he ordered was a ranch), but it's not the bank's fault! We informed him on Oct. 31 that we were terminating our contracts with him and wanted our money back. It is now Thanksgiving, and we have yet to see a dime -- or even an accounting of where the money is. Now he is hiding from us and won't even answer our phone calls. We've been forced to spend more than $10,000 on attorney's fees and are taking our case to the sheriff's office.
  
  Update: We are going for a summary judgment against him next month. Now, he has done what he always does: change the name of his company so anyone doing research on him won't be able to track him back to his crimes. The new company name: Maple Leaf Modular Builder.
  
  Update, 8/3/2012:
  
  As we described above, this man embezzled money from our construction loan. He has changed the name of his business to his past can avoid detection by potential new homebuilders. I should also add that he does not have a contractors license with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry; he is ineligible. So, if he steals money from you, you can't recoup it through the state contractors fund.
