“Content Craftsmen has worked with Murphy Bros. for the past year. We are repeatedly impressed by their creative design and flawless execution of the most demanding custom remodeling projects. Plus, John Murphy, Cherie Poissant, Aaron Lenz and Dan Flaherty are simply good people. Congratulations to them on winning the 2013 NARI Contractor of the Year Award for best kitchen over $120K in the Minneapolis market. Well deserved.”

“My husband and I have worked with Samantha Grose for the past 1-1/2 years during a whole house remodel plus addition. We both highly recommend her as someone who is very responsive, pleasant and knowledgeable in many areas and just an absolute gem to work with. She takes the time to get to know your personal sense of style, likes and dislikes and guides you in decisions without imposing her own will on you. She is just plain helpful when you are faced with what could be a daunting task. It takes talented, goal-oriented leadership with a proven plan to complete a remodel project on time. JP&Co follows what for them is almost a “cookie cutter” process that moves the project along at a comfortable pace…delivering the remodeled home back to the owners when promised. It takes skilled artisans and craftsmen who, taking pride in their work, produce a completed remodel project that is almost breath- taking, for the home owners. The JP&Co team delivered what they promised--“A beautiful, high quality remodeled home we will be proud of.” We are. Their team works together well and are trained professionals. Our investment represents a good value. ”

“John and the rest of the crew at Gordon James have helped me get my current house ready to sell and have guided me through the design of my new home. They are always available, offer sound advice, and are on time/budget. July 2015 Update: We have completed our build project with Gordon James. The project came in on budget and the quality exceeded our expectations. Right through to the very end they have been our advocate througout the process - helping us make decisions to keep our project on track.”

“Major remodel of lower floor of home. Totally professional company, from designer, to workmen, to interior designer. Attention to detail amazing. Every finish immaculate. Have nothing but the very highest praise for this group. They made our dream home a reality.”

“Sustainable 9 homes stand apart! They have a fresh appeal, often offering unexpected details. Even their spec homes have personality, and stay far afield from generic. Chad and Ryan definitely have a great sense of aesthetics, they are unafraid of using color. and we love being being part of their projects.”

“I would recommend Kroiss Development ANY time for building my home or remodeling my home. We've experienced both with them. Everything runs like a finely tuned operation - from the creativity in design and use of space and materials, to the knowledge of every component within the building process to the collaboration with us and the others with whom they work; it was a fluid and swiftly executed process. And, on time - and on budget; which was a big deal for us.”

“The experienced staff at Aulik Design Build is great to work with. Their attention to detail on traditional projects and their creativity on contemporary style is well known in the building industry. They provide a project environment that allows for the highest quality and it shows.”

“I can't say enough about how great it has been working with Rick and Amy on our home remodel. They know design and how to take an existing space and make it uniquely ours, what details are important and where best to spend our money. As a result, the final product is better than I had imagined. I will choose Hendel Homes on all future remodeling or building needs our family has. Thank you Rick and Amy!”

“Fantastic Job. Matt Houston built our home in Monticello, MN. We sold our home quickly in the Spring of 2016. My wife and I meet with Matt and shortly after new that he was the right builder for us. Matt walked us through each step of the process, and built a superior home in comparison to what others where building in the neighborhood. Could not be happier with the attention to detail, and follow up. Matt was consistently available on email, phone or text. There were many days that my wife and I made changes, some of these over holidays, and we would send Matt a text and he would respond within minuets. Talk about a fantastic experience. I would not hesitate to use Matt in the future, for builds or remodels.”

“We hired NorSon to design and build our vacation home in the lakes area of northern Minnesota and couldn't be happier. We had admired some of their projects featured in area publications and were impressed by a number of projects we saw (via their lawn signs) while driving around the area. We had heard stories from friends and acquaintances who had hired other area contractors only to find that they (or their subs) would go fishing or snowmobiling when the weather was good, despite promises to meet certain deadlines. But everything we heard about NorSon was good. Also influencing our decision to choose NorSon was the fact that I'm a design junkie who's concerned about design details, and we would be building our year-round lake home from a distance. With my husband and I both working full-time-plus and having 2 active boys, it was going to be impossible to make the two hour drive on a frequent basis, mid-week, for site inspections. Hence, we wanted to work with a reputable contractor known for having a good design eye, who doesn't cut corners, delivers on their promises, has enough clout to get the subs to show up on time, and takes pride in paying attention to every detail. NorSon fit the bill! We love our lake home! We've now spent many weekends there for 11 years, year-round, and it still looks like new--despite our sons running in and out as young kids with muddy feet and in wet swimsuits and, later, as teenagers and college students visiting with tons of friends in tow. Perhaps the best sign of our confidence in NorSon is the fact that we have since hired them three times to complete additional projects. They've designed and built a front stoop outside our main entrance in 2005, and finished our lower level in 2006 by adding 2 more bedrooms, a bath and rec room (all previously cut for budget purposes). And this past winter (January 2012), we hired NorSon, again, to build a detached double garage with overhead sleeping loft--strategically planned (by me) as a future attraction for our college boys, their (hopeful) future spouses and grandkids. If anyone's looking for a quality builder in the north/central Minnesota lakes area, we unconditionally recommend NorSon. They may be a little more expensive than other contractors, but it is WELL worth the investment! PS: My father and sister are both architects. Each time they visit our lake place they admire some of the interesting finish details, the quality of construction (top-notch), and the energy saving products and techniques NorSon employed. PSS: Ignore the furniture in the photos--just about all hand-me-downs. That's our next project! PSSS: My exterior photos of the cabin and detached garage (shown unfinished) are horrible! They were shot for insurance purposes in early spring (dead grass and no leaves on trees) with no outdoor furnishings or landscape. Yuck. They are motivating me to take some nice shots this summer!”
