Not only did they do a great…read morejob replacing the roof/gutters of my rental property in Minnesota on the roof itself, but they were efficient, cleaned up after themselves, were respectful of our tenants (and did a great job communicating with the tenants about the process), and explained everything, every step of the way. But that's not all - I was in a protracted battle with my insurance company, which denied our claim. Phil was confident that we would win an appeal of the initial denial and explained the process to me, assisted with submitting all the required documentation, met with the insurance person and the neutral "arbitrator" handling our appeal to look at the roof, etc. And Phil was right! We won our appeal and, as a result, the insurance company had to pay for our new roof. Without Phil and Ashley's guidance, I wouldn't have even known how to handle that process. They knew WAY more than my own insurance agent and were so dedicated to helping me find a resolution. They were so ethical and transparent and reasonable throughout, and Ashley was so patient with me. They even helped me get our ceiling repaired due to the water damage that came through the roof. In short, I enthusiastically recommend APK Restoration. I don't think I've ever worked with a company in this industry (home improvement/general contracting) that I trust more than APK.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I honestly can't say enough about Ashley and Phil. They handled EVERYTHING -…read morefrom dealing with the adjuster (ABOVE & BEYOND) to walking me through the process.

And the work they do is wonderful. Most importantly, they have never tried to upsell me on anything. We had people come and look at our ratty garage and recommend heated floors, and more fancy stuff. CC said, "it doesn't look like you use your garage much. Why don't you focus on bringing some of the nice features of your house back to their original state and on things that you will notice more than your garage." They saw the beauty in our house and enhanced it rather than trying to talk us into turning the house into something it isn't -- and that we don't particularly want it to be.

We needed a window replaced while under warranty and it took FOREVER to get someone to come out. We were charged a trip fee of $200. The installer didn't have the correct tool to finish the installation and left with a plan to return "in the next few days". The window wasn't functional. He never returned and when we called again, we were charged another trip fee ($150 this time) for someone to come and correct the issue. When we got the bill in the mail, we were given 3 days to pay it. We were out of town at the time and received a follow up call stating if we don't pay the bill within 7 days they threatened to place a lien on our property. AWFUL customer service. We were patient with them but are beyond irritated that they threatened to place a lien on our property after the bill was unpaid for a short period of time.

SO FAR it's been almost 6 months since our…read morefirst meeting to reroof, replace a small portion of soffit, fix the ceiling in the bathroom and replace the siding on ONE side of the house (insurance claim from hail and wind damage). Only the bathroom ceiling (which was contracted out by someone who left a huge mess of ceiling texture behind) and the roof on the house is complete. After completing the roof on the house, they left a pile of shingles and materials in middle of my front yard for over a month (only removed after I called to complain), I spent an entire day waiting for someone to arrive for an appointment who never showed up, have been told several times I'd get a return call which didn't happen, requested a dumpster which never came after I was told it would, all the while, any time there's been any communication, it's been initiated by me. Six weeks went by between the time I was told they found a match for my siding and when I was told "I'll place the order next week." It's been another three weeks and still have no word if it's been ordered. Finally today I called and talked to the owner to put everything on the table. He was short with me and tried to shoot down as many points I was trying to make as possible and ignoring the rest. He interrupted me several times so I'd keep talking to finish then he'd say, "Can I talk now?" Their reason for not doing the garage roof initially was because the insurance claim didn't cover it. (perfectly reasonable). However, it's covered now, I received the check almost a month ago, told All-American as much, yet it still isn't done. Nor is the soffit or siding which was part of the original work to be done. After our initial meeting, which was pleasant, it's been horrible customer service since.

DOESN'T RECOMMEND!…read more A final judgment has been entered against this contractor in my favor. Publicly searchable at mncourtrecords.gov: Joseph Wayne Johnson, conciliation & transcript case 86-CO-25-1409 & 86-CV-26-2269. This review was originally posted on Facebook as "DOESN'T RECOMMEND." Within hrs it was chgd to "RECOMMENDS", w/out my knowledge. The same incident occurred on another customer's FB review, her written review clearly states "I DO NOT RECOMMEND," yet the selection displays as "RECOMMENDS." Within 4 days of posting my review/updating it to note the display change described above, the Entire Review Section was REMOVED from VPC's FB business page, eliminating all customer reviews & preventing future customers from accessing honest feedback about their experiences. BACKGROUND I hired VPC for ceiling repairs; bowing, staining & texture restoration following storm damage. The job was quoted 8-10 days, yet completed in 5, w/ late arrivals & early departures documented. ESTIMATE & PRICING: I was told knockdown texture was the same price as popcorn. 2 other companies confirmed otherwise & is documented I initially declined knockdown for that reason. I only agreed because Joseph told me pricing was the same. In court this was called a "misstatement," which he denied saying moments later. More significantly, the estimate included line items for all bowing repairs w/ associated costs alongside each item. I wasn't informed until the court hearing 10 mos later that those costs were never added to the total price. This was never disclosed prior. ADDT'L COSTS & UNDISCLOSED PRICING Day 1: 2 entryway landing ceilings discussed during the estimate were suddenly "not included." Joseph acknowledged he forgets to detail his estimates, then proposed an addt'l $600 on the spot. I agreed to $300 under the circumstances. DAMAGE CAUSED: Improper tape & poly sheeting removal caused significant upper wall paint damage in 6 rooms plus large entryway. I had painter's tape on the same paint for 4 mos, removed it, & had no damage. VPC's removal damaged every room they worked in, except 1. To repair the damage caused that existed solely as a result of VPC. I incurred approx $3k out of pocket for the entryway repaint alone. Professional estimates for the remaining affected areas totaled approx $6k, total estimated cost of damage caused by VPC to approx $9k. INCOMPLETE WORK: 4 ceiling areas remain visibly bowed & unrepaired. He drilled screws into 1 area trying to lift it, which confirms he was aware of the bowing from the start. Only after that attempt failed did he claim it was structural. In court he stated he was unaware of the bowing in the other areas, despite his own estimate listing repairs for all of them, plus photos, audio recordings, & emails documenting it throughout. Additionally, approx 1-2 mos post-job, Joseph claimed via email that I had been given 2 choices, repair the bowing or have the texture redone. This was false. No such offer was ever made or documented in any form at any point during or after the project. PROPOSED RESOLUTION: After mos of attempts, I proposed to repair the worst areas or refund $3.5k of $7.5k paid. His counter was to patch 1 small section, ignoring 3 other areas, w/ the condition I'd pay addt'l labor & materials if it failed. 2 independent contractors confirmed proper repair requires full ceiling correction, not a patch. I declined. LEGAL ACTION: I filed in small claims court & won. I submitted 65+ exhibits. He submitted zero documentary evidence. The judgment remains unpaid past the court deadline. Enforcement is ongoing. THE REAL COST: Despite significant personal health challenges, this situation demanded 11 mos of documentation, legal filings, & court process, an exhausting & overwhelming burden that extracted an enormous toll on my finances, time, mental energy, & peace of mind. No one should ever have to go through this. KEY CAUTIONS: Scope items listed but not included in total pricing Verbal representations not aligned w/ outcomes Incomplete execution of agreed work Addt'l costs added at job start Significant damage caused requiring costly repair Post-job proposed fixes contingent on addt'l payment for work already included in the original scope Lack of accountability & no resolution w/out legal intervention Negative FB customer reviews chgd from "Doesn't Recommend" to "Recommends" w/out reviewer knowledge or consent & entire review section subsequently removed -- documented w/ timestamped screenshots I do NOT recommend this contractor. Based on my experience I would strongly urge you to look elsewhere. If you do choose to move fwd, document everything - if something goes wrong, you will be on your own. This review reflects my documented personal experience as a customer supported by photos, emails, audio recordings, & court records.
