Buck Bros did an outstanding job. Much effort was put in to making our new room feel like it had always been there. Every detail matched our existing home, inside & out, Ron, the carpenter, was an “artist” who put great care into building. Joe, our project manager, was always willing to come over and carefully explain the work, making this a positive experience! We love our room!
Description of Work: A mudroom was built and a new entry to the house was made.

If you have an older home definitely hire Buck Brothers Construction. They know how to work on older homes. Their workmanship and quality are outstanding. What I appreciate most is how they stand behind their work and their particular attention to detail! It was a pleasure working with Buck Brother?s staff and their sub-contractors. The sub-contractors were professional and fun to work with. In a complex restoration of this magnitude problems did occur, but Buck Brothers met all the challenges that were presented. We are exceedingly happy with the remodel and would definitely use Buck Brothers again. Our 115-year old kitchen was in need of a total remodel due to age and other remodeling efforts that were done poorly in the past. The kitchen was gutted down to the studs which revealed structural problems that were caused by a previous remodel. Buck Brothers addressed this issue with flying colors and the lead carpenter was amazing in fixing the structural problem and all other aspects of rebuilding the kitchen. The cost of the project was higher than we anticipated but the final outcome was worth it and we definitely got our monies worth. It is hard to single out the most valuable sub-contractor; they were all top notch but I have to give special thanks to Tracy the project manager, Scott the carpenter, D&B Custom Woods ( beautiful cabinets and right on miter cuts), Paramount Granite (great quality and excellent installation). I must add that the electrician, plumber and heating contractors had their work cut out for them. The painters were meticulous, respectful, and very helpful with color selection and fun to work with.
Description of Work: Kitchen remodel, including tear down to the studs, new cabinets, counter tops, sheet rock, new floor, insulation, structural repair and painting/staining.

We are very pleased with the result of the remodeling. The main bath of our 88 year old home had not been greatly changed since the house was built, and there was much plumbing and electrical work to be done. Buck Brothers worked with us to design a much better layout for the room, and helped to modernize it while still keeping elements that made it fit with the design of the rest of the house. The subcontractors were all skilled and pleasant, and Tracy our project manager kept me up to date, answered all questions promptly, and helped with the choices I needed to make. We would be glad to work with Buck Brothers again!
Description of Work: Design and remodel a main bathroom in our older house, install new light fixtures in upper level, wall and ceiling repair, and painting parts of upper and lower level of the house including trim.

Before work started, Tracy, the project manager, gave me a schedule of what would be done when. The kitchen was totally gutted down to the studs. New wiring was installed, the heating vent moved, an exhaust fan venting thru the roof installed, insulation added to the walls, all new cabinets and marmoleum click flooring installed Tracy stopped by every day to check on things and keep me updated on the progress. She was great to work with. They have very good subcontractors. The area was cleaned up every day.

The service went well. There were different crews out for different parts of the project. They completed the job in about 2 months. We had to wait on the tile to be delivered. They were all very professional and punctual. I was very happy with the final product. They did a good job cleaning up after the project and I had no problem scheduling the service.

After living with the original and only bathroom in a 1914 Craftsman style home with a cracked and sagging floor, low water pressure for 20 years, we finally started looking for a contractor to help renovate the bathroom. I knew that the floor and plumbing were going to be an issue, and interviewed three different contractors after reviewing them on Angies List and the BBB. Owner Joe Buck came out to view the project, and immediately requested that he bring out his plumbing expert as he could see the same concerns that I had, Joe was able to put together a proposal and design with my intention looking back from the completed project that the bath looked like it had always been a part of our home. The 8 week project was exactly on schedule for 99% of the work. The quality and craftsmanship are amazing, and we could not be more pleased with the end result. Joe and his project manager Tracy communicated well and often, we were kept appraised of the status throughout the entire project and we knew we had a team taking good care of our home. Thank you to the entire team that helped turn the worst room in our home to one of the best!

Bob Buck and all the people who work for Buck Brothers were knowledgeable, professional and punctual. The original plan that we came up with wasn't going to work, but the project foreman, Joey, came up with an even better one. There were some delays due to weather that were beyond their control, but past that the project was on schedule. The electrician, carpenter, roofer and painters were all excellent. We would definitely hire them again.

Contacted Buck Brothers construction for a bid to remodel our 3rd floor bath. We tore it down to the studs, built a ceramic tile shower (frame-less glass enclosures), hex tile floor with supplemental radiant electric floor heat, double vanity with cambria top, and linen closet. They were professional, responsive, punctual, and great to work with. We ended up choosing a different building who was approximately $5K less expensive. I would certainly call Buck Brothers again and wouldn't hesitate to use them.

We are extremely happy with the remodel. We have an old house (102 years old) and the bathroom had some awkward architectural aspects to it. It was a rather awful little room; we suspect that previous owners had done a lot of DIY work. It was inconveniently organized and ugly. Buck Bros. came up with a neat new design that turned some of the architectural challenges into appealing features, and installed a large shower next to a large frosted window, as well as in-floor heating and custom cabinetry. With new tiles, lighting, and mirrors, it is a beautiful little room. We enjoyed working with the people of Buck Brothers. They kept to their schedule and communicated well throughout the project.

They were one of three contractors that our architect said he would work with and that’s why we consulted with them. I recall that they had the highest estimate. We were impressed with the person who represented Buck Brothers Construction. They were very thorough in their estimate they gave us. They were very professional and got the estimate to us quickly. My neighbor had worked with Buck Brothers Construction and she had only good things to say about them. She said they were very good and skilled. The difference in price was substantial and that’s why we didn’t go with Buck Brothers Construction. After the fact, we wished we had given them more consideration to Buck Brothers Construction even though their price was higher because we had a bad experience with the contractor we chose. The contractor we did choose low-balled the estimate.

It was really more of an exploratory process. They were very informative and descriptive in their estimate. We talked about a number of possibilities. They came and we learned a lot from them, but we wanted to hold off on the work until we made up our minds. We haven’t chosen any contractor for the job yet.

When they came out for the estimate, they were fine but they wanted to present the estimate in person. The guy was not available when were so it was inconvenient and we were going to have to wait a long time for the estimate. I’m sure we would have gotten good service, but they were just too expensive.

They were very prompt, very professional and quite responsive. Bob Buck and his company specialize in renovations in houses in the twin cities, St. Paul & South Minneapolis mostly. Their experience in this was evident in their knowledge of what to expect and how to work well with our house. (1938 Tudor style.) Our site supervisor Tracy was great and kept us well informed. All the subs were good to work with. We did have a bit of trouble with painting in kitchen where we specified a brand & type sub-contracter wasn't used too. They did a good job responding to correct some defects. We are very pleased with our new kitchen and we would happily use Buck Brothers again for any future project!
Description of Work: Complete remodel of our kitchen, but no expansion or major layout changes. Only thing re-used from old kitchen was the fridge. Added vent hood that vents to outside. They also re-finish floors & painted walls in dining & living rooms. Cabinets are "semi-custom" Mid-Continent brand. They are good quality maple. All cabinet doors are "soft close," a nice feature we picked out. Counters are solid granite, locally quarried. (Local did add some costs.)

The project exceeded my expectations. My kitchen had green linoleum, metal cabinets, and a crumbling ceiling from the 60s. I worked with Joe Buck. He was very responsive, gave lots of options, open to feedback and suggestion, and great at problem solving. I selected Buck Brothers based on their reviews on this site, their experience with green building, and their pricing. Joe was very good at working different scenarios of what we could do within my budget. Once the project started, it went very quickly. Every day there was someone here working on the kitchen. The sub-contractors were scheduled well so there were no hang ups or long periods of time when no work was going on. Joe and his crew provided excellent communication, Joe called almost everyday to tell me what progress had been made, if any problems were found and what was coming up next. Of course, when you open up the walls of a hundred year old house you find some surprises. Joe kept on top of the budget and the cost of change orders. The crew and sub-contractors were very professional. My husband works nights and they were very respectful to work without music in the early morning and keeping sound down as much as possible. They were also very organized and kept the space very clean. I put off remodeling the kitchen for so many years because of all the horror stories I had heard about working with contractors, but my project was a great experience. I would definitely hire Buck Brothers again. I love my new kitchen!
Description of Work: Buck Brothers managed my kitchen remodeling project - this included deconstruction, new plumbing, electrical, sheetrock, ceiling, refinishing wood floors, new cabinets & countertops, new windows & doors, lighting and build a deck.

Bob Buck was very good with all communication about the process. He was upfront about all the costs and very responsive to all of my change requests as I made many. The final product looks great. The wrong bathroom vanity top came in and he ordered the correct one without question. Overall, very satisfied with the work that was done.
Description of Work: Gutted the main bathroom and installed new tub, toilet, vanity, mirror and fixtures. Also tiled the tub area and tiled a new floor. Removed the popcorn ceiling and installed new ceiling fan. In the kitchen, moved plumbing into a new stack to make room for an island. Also put in new outlets and five new light fixtures. Coordinated the removal of popcorn ceilings on main level and hallways.

The Bucks are extremely good to work with. Their prices are not cheap, but they do first-rate work and they're worth every penny. They worked with us to find solutions for a number of large and small design issues, and their solutions worked -- in the three years since the new catwalk was installed, we've had no leaks.
Description of Work: We had worked with Buck Brothers years ago, then came back to them for a series of remodeling jobs, including: 1) the basement, with new lighting, a built-in television/bookcase/electric fireplace, a new carpet, etc.; 2) a small job in he kitchen involving eliminating a dropped ceiling and restoring an archway that had previously been hidden, and 3) this job, which involved redesigning and rebuilding the front wall of the house to eliminate leakage around the windows. The original design included an exterior catwalk for window washing, and the catwalk supports went through the wall and were attached inside. Unfortunately, water found its way through the wall as well. The Bucks designed a new catwalk supported on the outside -- it's handsome, functional, looks identical to the original, and it doesn't leak.
