Initially we planned to take our terrible experience with Sunflake Electrical as a "life lesson" as…read morefirst time homeowners. After sharing our experience with other contractors & employees of Home Depot (just to ensure our dissatisfaction was warranted) they recommend we make our negative experience public so others don't go through the same thing. After researching on Home Advisor & seeing many positive reviews we decided to hire Sunflake Electrical to perform some basic electrical work around our home. · Main issues: o Exhaust Fan - installed but the hole was cut too large for the new fan. The electrician admitted to cutting a hole despite strategically purchasing the new fan based on existing opening size. o Kitchen Light - we did not purchase the correct light in advance & told the electrician not to proceed with installation. While at Home Depot getting other supplies he proceeded to install a non-approved light fixture, leaving us with an off centered light fixture. As the icing on the cake, we are also left with a jagged opening next to the off centered light fixture we did not choose. o Lastly, if the installation of other services would have gone smoothly, it would have also been easier to look past the mess we were left to clean up. · We shared the photos with the owner and he felt the electrical work had been done properly, and would be happy with the work in his own home. SEE PHOTOS. · We gave the owner multiple opportunities to "make this right" but his solution was for us to pay another one of his employees a flat rate of $250 to fix the two jagged holes. We are left with a jaded outlook on anyone coming to our home to complete repairs. Bottom line, avoid Sunflake Electrical! ADDITIONAL CONTEXT BASED ON OWNERS RESPONSE: Sunflake Owner: "Once the fan was completed, our electrician cleaned up the drop cloth that he had initially laid out and began cleaning the bathroom. The husband said he could clean the rest, so we proceeded to start the installation of the light." Response: Yes, the electrician laid a drop cloth on our bathroom floor that partially covered the floor (not the sink, vanity, toilet, etc.), and yes I offered to clean up the mess - the reason being, at this point the job had already taken longer than expected, and this was a matter of cost-savings. When replacing the kitchen light fixture, no drop cloth was used, and I was worried about all the debris falling into our garbage disposal, which luckily did not stop our garbage disposal from functioning properly. Sunflake Owner: "The customer asked to provide their own parts. We are totally fine with that at Sunflake." "If it had been a mistake on our part, we would have fixed the drywall no questions asked." Response: We are first time home owners, leaning on what we thought would be competent, trusted professionals to guide us in the right direction - not to receive an unfinished job and then be blamed for "our shortcomings." My wife ran to Home Depot mid-service to get additional parts for the duct work. The existing fan was already removed. She reviewed the previously purchased fan with the electrician at the start of the appointment but could have easily purchased another fan before installation. The light fixture installed was provided by Sunflake, because our two attempts to purchase something that work failed. My wife instructed the electrician to rehang the old fixture but he proceeded to install a light fixture he had on hand - which the owner also blames us for. Sunflake Owner: "Hopefully an intelligent consumer realizes the excellent value they received on this job and gives us a chance to earn their business." Response: The icing on the cake... not only does Sunflake Electrical perform an unfinished job, the owner then insults a paying customer by more or less calling us unintelligent. I truly hope that others steer clear of Sunflake Electrical, don't believe their higher ratings you see out on the internet.

I was chatting with the owner David for about a month trying to plan things out over chat because he gave me his cell number because he apparently doesn't have an office phone. I went with FireSide Hearth and Home and couldn't be happier with not using Blue Sky. In response to the owner Dave's response. First. The customer is always right. It's pathetic you're bad mouthing a customer online. Shows just who you are. 2nd Why on earth would I stalk you I found you're replacement in two minutes on google. Dave lied and said I was harassing him. I put a photo screenshot on this review of my chat with David and his response in case he deletes his to my review. I texted within business hours and everything. You can see that I didn't text him months ago and he texted back within a few weeks not months ago like he says then just went dark. Also you'll see that he just lied in this review to all you customers. You can see he didn't block me and in fact read the texts as iMessages says on the screenshot. He ignored all my questions and then lied about it. I wonder why considering I just gave Fireside $8000. Dave I call you a LIAR and a con man. I'm so lucky you showed me this without wasting a dime on you. And yes I will enjoy my new Heat N Glow gas fireplace and liner.

Energy Savers Insulation is the least professional, under qualified, grossly negligent company I…read morehave ever come across. Energy Savers was contracted through Crossroad construction via the Minneapolis Airport Commision to top up the insulation in our walls. Instead of inserting the insulation into our walls, they negligently filled our entire return air duct system with insulation. It is an utter disaster. To compound this already dreadful situation, the owner of Energy Saver Insulation, Steven, has been totally absent. He has not returned any of my phone calls nor e-mails. He has dragged his feet filing a claim with his insurance company. In fact, he had no intention of filing this disaster, it was my insurance company that had to make initial contact. He is unprofessional and extremely negligent. Beware! If you want to see the photos of this egregious act, go to next door.com and look up MAC filled my air ducts with insulation, as this is still ungoing. 9/8/18.

After working with Plekkenpol for over five years and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on…read moreat least three different projects, this is not a review we expected to write. We have referred them to family and friends--three of those referrals have resulted in projects--and until recently, trusted them without hesitation. Historically, price transparency was something they were willing to provide. Unfortunately, something has changed. Most recently, we were quoted $30-35K for a relatively straightforward mudroom remodel and back door installation. When the formal bid came in at a single lump sum number over $40K with some modest scope additions, we asked for additional transparency into that singular number to understand how much each part of the project was costing so we could determine where adjustments could be made. We were told that a further breakdown of the lump sum would not be provided. Over the next two weeks, we removed multiple significant items from the project scope, yet the total price barely changed in response. We asked repeatedly for greater transparency to understand what was still comprising the lump sum price we were being quoted and never received it. At a certain point, the math just did not add up, and it became increasingly difficult to reconcile the number we were being quoted by Plekkenpol with the project scope. When we expressed frustration with the lack of clarity, the response was dismissive and unhelpful. We were told that regardless of project size--even on significantly larger projects--additional price transparency would not be shared and that we should trust them that we are getting the best price. To be clear, this was not about the money--it was about transparency and partnership. We simply wanted to know what we were being charged for. Because Plekkenpol would not tell us how they arrived at their lump sum price, we ultimately chose to end our long-standing relationship and move on. We recently recommended to another family that they consider Plekkenpol, but after this experience, feel obligated to advise them not to proceed due to Plekkenpol's unwillingness to provide transparency in pricing.

We had Prominent Roofing complete a major exterior project on our duplex in St. Louis Park,…read moreincluding new vinyl siding and windows throughout the entire property, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. From start to finish, the team was great to work with. Communication was clear and consistent, the project was completed on time, and they did a great job keeping everything moving without sacrificing the quality of the work. The difference in the property is night and day. The new siding and windows completely transformed the exterior, and everything looks beautiful. You can tell they take pride in the finished product and pay attention to the details. Overall, we had a great experience with Prominent and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for siding, windows, roofing, or other exterior work in the Twin Cities. Great communication, quality workmanship, and a finished product we're extremely happy with.

Nothing but the facts and no opinion!…read more Scheduled job to start work 3 months after first meeting. Roofing, siding, gutters and additional building. We were told the roofers would use an elevated collection bin for the roofing to avoid damaging the landscaping and surrounding area. Didn't happen. Roofing was completed, driveway and landscaping were damaged. Asked about the schedule for siding, gutters and additional building. No answer. Month later part of the side was done, the contractor loaded up the remaining new box of siding and left. Notified Prominent immediately what was happening but nothing was done. Hired a lawyer who sent a letter to Prominent but neither him or I received a response. My attorney said for me to "keep track of every call/text/email". Two months later the remaining wall was sided but not without damaging our water feature in the landscape. The gutters were to be completed just a couple days after the siding but didn't happen for another two months. We had seamless gutters and the replacement gutters were apparently seamless but used prefabricated corners which created seams. Not what we had. Took another month before addressing the additional building. Well over 50 text/emails and over 40 calls in order to get the job done. Lots of no answers, misinformation, and extreme frustration.
