Description of Work: In the end we got a good garage. Inspectors and other that have seen it say that it is good work. The workers all seemed to care about doing quality work. They were helpful in helping us decide what features we wanted in the garage. For example my wife was worried about getting two cars into a garage with a 16 foot door and they suggested a 18 foot door. Unfortunately communication within the company and between the company and us was poor. We had multiple people asking us about things we had already spoken to someone else about. It took a whole lot longer than it should have and many times they did not show up when they were supposed to and did not call. As a result of how long it took we were unable to get a new driveway laid before fall. They lost record of one of our payments and sent the final bill before finishing. In summary we like the garage but the process was a hassle.

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.

Description of Work: Tore down and built new garage. The end product makes me happy but.. Had I known they weren't going to finish off the access door I wouldn't have paid extra for it. didn't clean up after themselves very well. But the biggest complaint I have is they are not very good about setting expectations. Had I been told in July I'd be using the garage by Christmas they would have set and made my expectations but not giving me a time frame left me to set my own expectations which they didn't meet. I do really like the end product though.

Response from Minneapolis/St Paul Garage Construction/Builders
The project was confirmed in July and the repeal ruling in Mpls on reverse corner lots didn't got through until October so we waited to the clients benefit or we'd have to build 5' from the property line as opposed to the 1' that she/we wanted to build as that is where her old garage was. It's unfortunate that people don't fill in the whole story - we completed her garage on November 16th not Xmas as she indicated - not sure where that came from. As she indicated - the quality of the garage is very good - timing was what we had to work with.

Description of Work: Joe was the first builder I consulted with this year as I began my quest for a contractor. He was prompt, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. I had Joe bid on two different size detached garages. The smaller was geared towards the maximum allowed by the city without requiring a variance. The second (24'x36') was sized to comfortably store three vehicles and yard equipment. Joe was not your typical salesman. I didn't feel pressured during any part of our meeting. He was very easy going, and even offered to attend the city council meetings with me if a variance was required. His bids were provided within a day of our meeting, and they were VERY competitive. I ultimately chose a different contractor that would build my detached garage and continue with other home improvement projects.

Description of Work: Minneapolis Garage Construction excavated (demolished) a backyard wood screen porch that had a cedar shingle roof, screen walls, and a wood deck floor. It was roughly the size of a single car garage. There was no access to the yard for a bobcat, so their demolition approach was to take it apart piece by piece and to manually remove the debris from the yard. Their demolition approach was very good and thoughtful in terms of safety and avoiding inadvertent collapse. I needed to get this screen porch removed in order to proceed with a landscaping project. They provided a response to my request for a quote within a day and completed the job within about a week after I approved the contract proposal, which allowed me to proceed with landscaping. They did a great job removing and hauling away debris and cleanup. I was very happy with their responsiveness, great work and timely response.

We never met with this person. There are other builders that are listed on the Web as Mpls Garage Builders and have taken advantage of our name. I have stopped by this person's home twice and left a note to call to clear this up and he has not.

Joe and his team were great! The entire process of removing the old garage and building the new one was finished in 3 weeks. Joe was great to work with and was always helpful with advice. He would always call and see how my satisfaction was with the job. His billing system was very easy to read and understand. His crew was very friendly and clean- (there was never a nail laying around) I look forward to working with Minneapolis Garage Construction in the future.
Description of Work: I had an old single car garage, slab, and two stumps removed. Then Joe's team poured a new slab and built a 2.5 car garage in it's place in a matter of a couple of weeks.

We worked with Greg Reitan primarily, although we have also dealt with Joe Slavec in the past, and both are very responsive and easy to work with. Greg's bid for the job was very competitive, and he was willing to be flexible about how exactly the job got done, which was a priority of ours. The work was done promptly and well. The excellent workmanship made the rest of the addition easy to finish because we had a solid level foundation on which to begin building our structure. Overall an excellent experience.
Description of Work: The crawl-space foundation for an addition was excavated, including removal of a large tree stump, and a concrete block foundation was installed.
