About us

D. S. Bahr Construction, Inc is a growing company that stresses high quality workmanship with a personal touch. We specialize in roofing, siding, deck construction and most facets of exterior remodeling. We handle siding replacement in the twin cities, roofing in the twin cities, as well as all twin cities deck construction. We also perform other types of construction and remodeling for the entire twin cities metro area. When i started D. S. Bahr Construction, Inc in 1990, I decided that there were two important standards that I would maintain for my company: high quality & excellent communication. We use only the highest quality roofing, siding and deck materials backed by strong manufacturers. My Minneapolis roofing contractors know that every job must pass my high standards for quality work. You won't find a deck builder in the twin cities that takes more pride in their quality workmanship. Communication - as a home owner myself, i understand that there's nothing more frustrating than waiting for answers and call backs from companies i need service from. At D. S. Bahr Construction, we guarantee that we'll answer all your questions in a timely fashion. No more waiting indefinitely for a call back to get a bid for decks in St. Paul or roofing in Minneapolis. No more playing "phone tag" when you need answers about house siding in the twin cities. As president of D. S. Bahr Construction, I'm still hands-on and in the field. If you contract us to handle your remodeling and construction needs, you'll always have a link to the owner and president of the company. Please include a contact phone number when emailing for estimates. Award winning.

Dave was always in contact with me with cell phone calls and email. The roof was patched with the existing shingles. Came by on his way home at about 6:30 and got the job done before dark.
Description of Work: Dave spent his time with us on our home after the wind damage in October of 2010. Came out and did the repairs in a timely fashion and did a very nice job. Also did some touch up work on the roof that was not quoted as a courtesy.

They were great. I would rate them high overall. I can look out of one of my window at the gutters and they look great. They called me head of time and they showed up on time so they were very punctual. I would use them again the future.
Description of Work: I used D S Bahr Construction Inc in the end of May. They checked the roof and they took the leaves off and cleaned the gutters. They also sealed around the chimney.

When it comes to roofing, Dave Bahr is the one that I trust. Almost every year, I've asked Dave to inspect the roof on our house and advise on whether it needed repairs or replacing -- and Dave has candidly and honestly advised each year that we could get by without major repairs or a new roof for another winter and spring. Even this year, although Dave noted that the roof was nearing the point where it should be replaced, Dave did not find it was absolutely necessary, but I thought it was time and wanted the better appearance. So we got a new roof this year. Dave Bahr's work is always professionally-done, with a solid warranty against any problems, and with the highest quality materials -- it may not be the cheapest (although the price is well within reasonableness), but it's the best. Everything went smoothly. And even afterward, Dave wasn't pleased with the look the flashing near one window, so even though it was doing the job just fine, he sent the crew back to add further flashing and tailor it to that area so that it looks better. Again, I would go back to Dave Bahr for anything involving roofing, decks, etc.
Description of Work: New roof, with tear-off of old shingles, replacement of sheathing as necessary, flashing, new life-time warranty shingles, color-matching venting, etc.

Dave arrived on the agreed upon date and 15 minutes early. After reviewing the roof and the problem area, Dave said that he saw where the roof was leaking, what the problem was, and said that he could fix it right away. Dave immediately repaired the problem area on the roof and said the charge would be $100.00. I was expecting the repair estimate to be much more when I originally called to set an appointment and I am very pleased with the work. Dave was prompt, professional and very reasonably priced. I did not get any other estimates for the job. I would certainly recommend Dave to others who need roof work completed.

Used The Big Deal service and felt that I got my moneys worth. Dave called in advace to say when he would be in the area and then sent an email the day of the service as well as leaving a written note at the house. He followed up promptly to my emailed questions about the maintenace that was done. He also suggested a repair that was not covered, but that I could do myself.

I think they have a special now. I would recommend him anytime. He’s one of the few people I’ve known who does his job really well. He’s a very good leader. His prices are reasonable. He’s always quick to respond. He’s very personable and very trustworthy. I would use him again in the future if need be.

This was a rather small job, but was very important to us. I'm 60 years old, and I was pushing my luck taking down the top of the chaise myself, and I didn't want to tempt fate any further. Dave's crew (3 of them) arrived on time and finished in one day. They cleaned up everything, including sweeping the deck, and hauled the debri away. You can't tell that a chimney was ever there; the roof matches perfectly.
Description of Work: We were changing from a wood fireplace to a gas fireplace and no longer needed our chimney chaise. Our chaise was a 2x4 framed structure with hardboard siding. I took down much of it myself, but hired Dave to take down the rest of it, which included a saddle behind the chaise. He then replaced/filled in the roof with plywood and an ice shield and then re-roofed that area. The debri was hauled away and the area cleaned up.

This job was bid in November but we wanted to wait until spring to do it. David's bid was about 15% less than a prior bid from another contractor. I contacted David in March. He came to our house within a few days and we selected the color of shingles and reviewed the total project. He stayed with the original 3 month old quote. The work was scheduled to begin the following week. The first scheduled day was cancelled due to rain. The next 3 days went great and the job was finished. The crew worked hard and did a great job. They were responsive to my questions even when I pointed out something that had been forgotten. David was here to inspect the project several times. His crew pointed out that several places that did not have flashing should have it. New flashing was installed at no additional charge. We could not have asked for a better experience with a job like this.
Description of Work: Remove all existing roofing down to sheathing including 26 roof vents. Install ice and water shield 6' from eaves and in valleys and along walls. Install roofers felt over all other sheath. Install new roof vents and plumbing stacks to match new shingles. Flash walls and chimney. Clean and remove debris related to work. Get permit.

It went fine. Choosing a company to use was the hardest part, but I think I made the right choice.
Description of Work: My old roof needed to be replaced. I did a lot of research and decided exactly what I wanted, and how I wanted it done. I talked to 5 roofing companies, all highly rated on Angie's list. Dave from DS Bahr gave me the best price and inspired the most confidence. His price for architectural shingles was lower then the other companies' price for 3 tab shingles. His crew did everything I asked, and they did it well. I would use them again for another roof, but I hopefully won't ever need another roof.

It went well. I wish I had done it sooner. We'll ask Dave to come back to install the footings.
Description of Work: Our 3 season porch was heaving in the center from ground swell, putting a great deal of stress on the structure. Dave and crew removed several inches from the supports to level the porch, until we can install better footing this spring.

It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. We would recommend them to anyone!
Description of Work: We hired DS Bahr to replace a portion of siding on the back of our house that was damaged in a storm. Miles came out and wrote up an estimate and fit us in to the schedule easily despite the subzero temperatures. The work took a few days due to the weather, but was completed in a timely fashion. They even told us that if we notice an excessive amount of nails and debris in the yard after the snow melts to call them and they will come clean it up again.

The quote we received from DS Bahr was reasonable compared to the other two companies from which we received quotes. Dave Bahr seemed very knowledgeable about the nature of the work and was not simply a sales person. The work started almost exactly when he estimated (about 5 weeks out) and was finished on time as well. We received about 18 inches of snow in the middle of our project, which covered some of the completed work before we had a chance to inspect it. After the snow melted (two months later), we noticed a few minor fixes that needed to be done to the work. Dave and his workman were out that day to inspect the problem areas and the problem areas were fixed to our satisfaction the very next day. We would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: DS Bahr replaced the house's gutters, soffits, fascia, and aluminum window/door wrap.

Seamless. I called Dave when my insurance co. had estimated there was considerable hail damage on my roof. Dave was very helpful in getting the job done. The roof looks great and I would recommend this company to anyone!
Description of Work: Dave and co. replaced my roof this past monty, mostly due to hail damage from September, 2010. The roof looks great! Today I emailed Dave that I thought there was a lot of roof debris both in my yard and in my neighbor's yard and that I hoped that his crew would clean it up. Within an hour, six of Dave's guys were in my yard and picked up, as far as I can see, every bit of roof debris that was left.

Dave came out to do an estimate for a job and ended up doing it right then and there are my request. It was wonderful to have a skilled, knowledgeable person come and take care of it as he said it was such a small job it wouldn't have made sense to come back. I was dealing with my Mom's house and would have had to make a trip in from another town to meet him-- Shows professionalism and does competent work.
Description of Work: I pointed out a few loose shingles that appeared to have been blown up by wind. He found that they had indeed come up. He cleaned out debris from this small area (approximately 12-18 inches) and put new edging down, tacked down the shingles, and did a quick look-over the rest of the area of the roof and said it was all in pretty good condition--did not find any other problems.

Great. The first thing that impressed me about Dave was that at the time he first looked at my roof he sat down in my kitchen and wrote out an estimate. From then on, Dave did exactly what he said he would, exactly when he said he would. I know my way around construction. My roof isn't easy. I inspected their work at every stage and it was was always good. Several other roofers wanted nothing to do with me, wouldn't even bid my job, and they are also highly rated at Angie's List. Dave never hesitated and he knew how to do the job right. Work was guaranteed. At one point some materials ended up costing more than expected. Dave just shrugged and said "its on me". Not only that, Dave bid my job in the fall, but the work started after the huge December snow fall. First thing his guys did was shovel two feet of snow off my big, low-pitched roof. Couldn't be happier. Would recommend them 100%. Only problem is too many other people know Dave.

It went really well from beginning to end. The experience was very satisfying and I am confident I would not hesitate to call them again.
Description of Work: We thought we had a leak in the roof. The company representative came right away. He was very punctual. He gave us a complete estimate based on the size of the roof but said he needed to come back with a roof rake to be sure the work was needed. When he came back he said there was no roof damage and that the leak was most likely condensation in the bathroom. He was so honest about it I would not hesitate to call him again if we need roof work done.

Dave responded to my initial phone call promptly. I interviewed and got estimates from 5 different roofers. All estimates were approximately the same. The big difference was Dave. He was knowledgeable and professional. The roof replacement took place approximately 4-5 weeks later as expected. Materials arrived promptly as did the crew. The crew worked diligently and kept our yard clean each day. Dave arrived promptly for the final inspection and spent some time going over the job and providing my husband and I clear and complete information. I would use Dave and his team again for roofing or other exterior jobs. They were fabulous.

They charged me about $8000 for the siding. I have used them more than two times. I trust them. They do a good job. They deliver what they promise. They are responsive. They treat my property with respect. They are competitive, price wise. They add value to the job. I first started with them couple of years ago when my daughter needed a roof. She and her husband asked me to consider some contractors. I then gave Bahr Construction a call along with 3 other contractors. I finally went with them and they did a good job. So I always include them in addition to a couple of other companies anytime I have got any type of work that falls in their area. They recognize me as a valuable customer because I had that experience with them and they also treat me as such. I would use their services in the future too.
Description of Work: Bahr Construction Inc redid my roof about 5 weeks ago and the siding about 3 weeks ago.

GREAT JOB--GREAT PEOPLE! Due to financial changes in our household, Dave (the owner) came out at least three and perhaps four times over a period of five years providing bids, until we were able to do the project. He was always most gracious about the situation. When the time came to do the work, they were prompt as well polite and very clean--laying down tarps and removing their shoes whenever they needed to enter our home and cleaning up exceedingly well afterwards. We anticipated a couple surprises and when we had them, the foreman on the job was most clear about our options and costs, specifying everything in writing and making the necessary changes quickly without lengthening the project. It looks great and we're very happy campers. If/when we do any other project, we'll undoubtedly be calling them for a bid.

D.S. Bahr was one of three firms that were highly rated in Angie's List from whom I requested a bid for a new roof. Dave was prompt in arriving to give me the estimate and clearly was well-informed. He provided the estimate right away. I ended up with three very similar estimates and finally decided to select another firm, but feel that D.S. Bahr would have done a good job for me, too.

Dave was very professional and was on time for appointments. Dave was very accommodating. I need him to remove the roof before the Insulators could do their job. He coordinated the schedule with the Insulator and his crew was there when he promised and the Insulator did their job. I found him to be very knowledgeable. His crew was friendly and did a good job cleaning up and respected my property
Description of Work: What a great experience. I had some hail damage this summer and I needed a new roof in addition to adding more insulation to my home. I contacted a couple of contractors from Angie’s list to get quotes. All of the contractors were professional and the quotes were close. I settled on D. S. Bahr because I had contracted him a couple years ago to re-roof my daughters and her family’s home. He did a good job for them and did everything he promised.
