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.
When they came out to give me the estimate, he was able to give me a quote right there on the spot, I didn't have to wait until he figured it out and mailed it to me a week later or whatever. Another thing that I really liked is when I told him what I wanted he listened to me and did exactly what I wanted. It took them about a week to complete the work. The final price was exactly what I was quoted in the beginning. It turned out very, very nice.
Description of Work: I used D S Bahr Construction to tear down my old deck and put on a new one.

We worked directly with the owner of the company. He came out and gave us an estimate and stayed with the initial bid. He was very professional and was easy to talk to and work with. We had a delay on our side and he was willing to work with us there and came back when we could have it done.

Very impressed with Dave's professionalism. It took longer to get the work done than we had hoped but Dave was proactive in communicating the reasons (material supply). In addition, we could clearly trust Dave in his initial assessment and options. While his quote was a tad higher than others, it wasn't by much and the trust we had with Dave was the deciding factor. He went as far as to tell us that our roof didn't have that much damage and we could hold off on doing it. He promptly answered all our questions along the way. I would recommend DS Bahr to anyone.

Company handled the process from start to finish very well. A detailed quote was provided. The project started about 2 months after the agreement was made. The time from demolition to completion of deck was about one week. The contractor handled all relationships with the city. The area was cleaned up well.
Description of Work: Removed existing deck and built a new deck of about double the size.

Dave has done good work for me before, so I knew I was going to use him for this work as long as his estimate was close to my insurance payout. I had only two problems. First, the crew didn't come back on Saturday to finish putting on my downspouts, which was a major concern to me with rain in the forecast (I have no sump or drain tile). Second, the installation of the downspouts didn't initially match what I had requested (I think this is because the crew wasn't quite as detail focused as they should have been). However, Dave's foreman responded quickly to my concerns and took care of everything on Monday. I am happy with the end result and I would use D.S. Bahr again for other jobs.
Description of Work: Replaced roof, gutters and downspouts due to hail damage. Cost shown is for 30-year Landmark architectural shingles (not 3-tab) with aluminum gutters and 4" downspouts. There was also some extra work discovered on site - all of the way around my house, the fascia was not properly sealed (there was a 2" gap under the old gutters), so they repaired that before putting on the new gutters.

After a hail storm, I invited D S Bahr construction to bid on the project. Dave Bahr inspected the roof and prepared a bid. While I ultimately chose a different contractor because of their slightly lower price and more immediate availability, I as greatly impressed with Dave. He was punctual, professional and got down to business. He quickly prepared a very complete estimate very respectful of both his time and mine. He was also very forthright about this availability, not something I found in all the contractors I interviewed. While I didn t select Bahr for this project, I will definitely be considering them for future projects.

The work has not been done yet, but this is the company we chose out of the six estimates we received. We chose this company because we liked dealing with David, his estimate fell in the middle of those we received, and he had a good rep on Angie's List. We hired David to do the work on 09/05. At that time he told us it would likely happen in about 6 weeks, which was fine with us. We received a letter from David a couple of weeks after hiring him that jobs were being delayed a little due to a shortage in product availability. We appreciated this proactive stance on his part- it was nice to just know ahead of time that there would be a delay. Now, the work is scheduled to happen in two or three weeks, which is about two weeks behind the original schedule. We contacted him two different times with questions. One time he answered the phone immediately, and answered our questions on the spot. The other time we left a voicemail, and he responded to it the same day. He has been helpful and informative, and we have faith that the project will go smoothly based on our interactions with David thus far, and the professionalism he has already shown. Also, he offers a 5% discount, up to $500 for Angie's List customers.
Description of Work: We got an estimate for the tear-off and replacement of the house and garage roofs. We will likely need some sheathing repaired or replaced as well.

Dave Bahr is very professional and punctual. When called, he calls right back. This is the second time we have used Dave's company. In both instances his bids have been lower than expected considering the quality of the materials used. We are very happy with our new siding.

This has been a very frustrating experience with a vendor that was highly rated by this service.
Description of Work: Contractor supplied bid for work 5/23/08. Work was scheduled to begin the last week of August or first week of September. Contractor was contacted on 8/28/08 (voice message left) asking if we were on schedule for the next week. Received a very curt message over the weekend (left on work voice mail) that he said he had indicated that he would contact me the week before he would start. Contacted contractor again at the end of September and was told that I was getting to the top of his list. David Bahr indicated that he would contact me on October 9th or 10th and that work would start the next week. As of today the contractor has yet to contact me or commence work. This has also impacted to other contractors who have been unable to do their work until Bahr Construction had completed there work.

Dave was there when the insurance agent came out and did a great job in making sure all damages were noted. The storms in the area made for the final date being pushed back some, but once his crew came out the work was done quickly and very professionally. We are very happy with the final results. We recommended his company to two of our neighbors and D.S. Bahr is doing both of their roofs.

No work done, but happy with my interaction with the company.
Description of Work: Our deck is heaving and a rep from D S Bahr came out to take a look at it. The guy seemed very honest, he felt that a redesign of the deck would be necessary to guarantee that it wouldn't heave anymore. This let to a much greater cost than I was willing to pay (and he had to add some extra cost in as they are in the south end of the metro & I'm in the NW end). Still, seemed like a good company.

Everything was good, they were complete in what they wanted to do and they kept me informed with any schedule delays. He had it done pretty quick. He explained why we should go a different way or why I was getting a different thing than I expected, and explained to me why another option would work better for everyone. All the workers he had were great. I expressed questions about using legal workers and he provided me with satisfactory information and answers.

Amazing. Dave's crew was incredible. My yard is all garden, patio and paths with only a 3 foot wide area of lawn around the garden beds in the front yard. I didn't believe that this project could be done without major damage to my garden, but all I lost were a couple of stems on two plants! I couldn't believe it. Not only did they have to rip off all of the old shingles, but the underlayment too, and toss it down. Manuel and his crew were great; very friendly and skilled.
Description of Work: We had hail damage to our roof this summer and DS Bahr replaced our roof in July. We didn't know the condition of the underlayment before work began, but I was given a quote on what it would cost if it was necessary to replace it, and it was. I could see from the ground that it was necessary. The old roof was on the house when we bought it, so there was no way to know what was under it.

I left a message requesting a quote and Dave called back very quickly, and was able to come out the following week - I wasn't expecting anyone to get out to my place so soon as there had been several storms, and a lot of damage around the metro area, which was keeping contractors pretty busy. After I decided to hire this company, Dave was again prompt about coming out with roof color choices. He said due to all the other jobs, it would probably be a couple weeks before my roof could be done, which was fine. They were actually out a little sooner than that. The tear-off and new roof were all done in one day. The workers were still on the job when I got home that afternoon, and they were pleasant, businesslike, and cleaned up the debris before they left. Also, about a week or so after this was finished, I noticed a piece of trim on the north side of my house (I don't get to that side of the house very often, obviously). Dave checked on it the same day to make sure it wasn't from my roof, and called back to let me know that it was apparently from the neighbor's house. Overall, the project went very smoothly.

They were the third of three estimates I received. They came in at the lowest price and were the highest rated on Angie's List. It took about 3 weeks from estimate to job start-up. It went very well, took about 3 days from start to finish. They did a good job with the clean-up as it's quite a messy job.
Description of Work: They tore off the existing shingles, tar paper, etc. from our house and shed. Our gutters and downspouts were also removed. They then re-shingled with a free upgrade to a 30 year shingle. They also included a ridge vent free of charge. New gutters and downspouts were installed following the re-roof.

I got Dave Bahr's name from Angie's list. He was prompt (early) for all appointments to estimate and sign contracts. He answers his calls promptly. His bid was lower (slightly in one case and significantly in another case) than other roofing contractors we contacted. His bid was VERY complete and detailed. His estimated time for scheduling the work was within a week, which we consider to be outstanding in the world of home construction, and during a busy storm repair season. As far as I can tell, all roofing crews are subcontracted. The men Bahr sent were good. Dave also came out to check on the job himself, and was readily available and responsive by cell phone. The roofers were hard working, conscientious, courteous and did not play the radio (unusual). Roof replacement is a messy job, and they were reasonably tidy, especially at final clean-up. Materials were delivered in a timely fashion and the dumpster was picked up promptly. I had asked for leaf screens on the new gutters, and this did not get detailed into the written estimate, but Dave sent a man back to install them within a day when I asked again. There were no surprises, and I would use D.S. Bahr again and recommend him readily.
Description of Work: Stripped and re-roofed cedar shake roof, installed new gutters with leaf screens.
