Response from Minneapolis/St Paul Garage Construction/Builders
The process to build was completely hindered by the owners - two vacations they took right in the middle of the project and insisted that no work be completed while they were gone. Then - they lied to us that the framing inspection was complete and we hurried to finish the siding before they left town (again) and completed all of the remaining work in the two days. We did get in trouble with the city of St Paul for siding the garage without the inspection and had to backtrack at our own expense without an apology from the homeowners - nice folks there. Yes -the inspector was greatly impressed by our work but not happy we proceeded without his signature which the homeowner suspiciously had the paperwork in the house instead of the garage so we couldn't double check before starting. As it turned out - he hadn't been there yet and we covered the firewalls so had to take down the drywall in order to show the framing of the garage - yes - that took longer and to be frank - we expected an apology but some folks have no concept of decency.
