We decided to use this company to repair our roofs after hail damage. The managers worked closely…read morewith our insurance company to make sure that all areas were covered as much as possible by our policies. Green Guard replaced siding and wrapped all of the trim on our old garage and did excellent finish work. On an old barn, they replaced the entire roof and underlay, as well as wrapping the trim. They also repaired the roof of our home. We were very impressed with their cleanup after leaving the site, as minimal debris was left behind, despite the large amount of materials that they removed. The representatives were quick to bring us samples and return communications. They kept the project running smoothly from start to finish, and kept us on track with insurance processes. If you are a busy person looking for a company that keeps in touch while working on your home, we recommend their supportive services in what can become a time-consuming process when dealing with insurance companies. They went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. Highly recommended.

I had an extensive hailstorm in May of 2022. I contacted Green Guard construction as they were…read morehighly recommended. I had the sales rep come out and indicate there was in fact damage, so I contacted my insurance company to have it assessed. Initially my insurance company claimed my roof was normal wear and tear with age. Green guard construction Immediately took action and requested a second look from my insurance. Upon a second look after Green Guard fighting my insurance for me, they had my roof approved. Communication was excellent throughout the process all the way until my roof was redone. Upon completion they cleaned up their mess very thoroughly and i am highly pleased with their quality of work, excellent customer service, and great communication. I would highly recommend Green guard Construction to anyone that needs a new roof, siding, gutters, windows, etc. I promise you will be in great hands!

I had several ongoing issues with this company. I was told several times the job was sufficient but…read morewhen I finally got a second person to come look at the gutter that was falling off after 3 months, I had him look at the windows. He said they looked like they were "wrapped by my 4 year old grandkid." There was a leak on my porch roof twice during and right after construction and was told to move the A/C out of that window. They had me work with a door installer who told me box store doors were cheap and he doesn't install them but when it came time to install the door they gave me a cheap one from Menards that wouldn't lock. The person who installed it told me to go buy a new spring and lock for it. They left the siding around the door cut unevenly and unpainted and said they would come back for that and to install a new lock. I gave up on arguing over the cheap door. They never came back. They left garbage on my lawn twice and killed a bunch of my plants that never grew back. I got one B.S. line after another. They did fix some things after I pushed but didn't follow through on the rest. Really disappointed.

Excel Exteriors says the 'most important part of a roof is the roof decking' (on their website…read moreunder FAQ: https://ineedroof.com/top-parts-of-a-roof/) However, in July 2024, Excel saw 1" gaps in my existing roof decking, yet ignored the City of St. Paul Code which says 'gaps in decking greater than 1/4" require plywood'. Excel installed new shingles on top of old decking with large 1"+ gaps. They should have installed plywood over the old decking, which my insurance would have paid them for. Excel wanted to make a quick buck and get done with the roof, rather than wait for my insurance to OK an $8000 plywood supplement payment. Excel lied to me when they told me 'your existing decking is fine, you don't need plywood'. The photos Excel sent to the permit department inspector office also showed large 1" gaps. The inspector told them they installed the roof wrong. That they need to install plywood. He wasn't going to ok their poor workmanship and close the permit, so the permit remains open=which means the roof was done wrong/doesn't meet code/and needs to be torn off and done right. Excel Exteriors ignored the inspectors phone call that they redo the roof. Then the inspector sent Excel a letter saying the roof was done wrong, redo it. Excel ignored his letter too. It's been 8 months since Excel Exteriors installed the roof, yet they've done nothing to correct the problem, nor if or when they would redo the roof. Now the DLI (Department of Labor and Industry) sent Excel several letters asking them 'what's your plan for redoing this roof?' Excel ignored the DLI department's letter for several weeks. When DLI called Excel, Excel said they wanted a second opinion--which was a stall tactic. Their request for a second opinion from the permit department has been denied. DLI is going to fine Excel for their failure to repair the roof with plywood. I'm going to sue Excel, get the DLI and St. Paul City inspector to testify Excel intentionally refused to fix their roof code violation. Then I'll use the judgement and get reimbursed by the 'Contractors Fund', a fund that all contractors pay into each year, to reimburse homeowners for faulty contractor workmanship. Excel intentionally did faulty roof workmanship. They thought they could get away because their work was hidden under shingles. They ignored the city inspector's demand they do it right and thought he'd 'go away', but he hasn't. In fact, Excel's faulty roof workmanship has caused major interior damage too. Immediately after they installed the faulty roof, I told them I saw water damage on the ceiling. Excel came out, looked and said 'let's wait and see what happens'. Well, a few weeks later A HUGE 9' X 9' INTERIOR CEILING FELL, ALL DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE FROM THE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED ROOF. Excels insurance company, Markel, offered me only $4,000 to fix my interior damage that was caused by Excel, but my damage is well over $80,000. All the ceilings upstairs have water damage, all the plaster walls have cracked from the top of the ceilings to the floor, antique furniture was crushed, all the linen and clothes are filled with dust and debris. Doors, trim, floors are all scratched. Windows are cracked and blinds are ruined. It's a disaster. Excel thought they could hide their poor workmanship, but when the ceilings fell, Excel's faulty work was exposed for everyone to see the 1" gaps in the decking, where nails are hanging in these spaces, not holding anything on. Therefore, the roof is not secure. That's why decking is the most important part of a roof'. DECKING IS MEANT TO HOLD THE SHINGLES ONTO THE ROOF. With Spring storms and gusts of winds, these shingles may fly off---they're not secured to anything. DON'T RISK HIRING EXCEL EXTERIORS TO DO A ROOF. THEY'RE REFUSING TO REDO MY ROOF WITH DECKING THAT'S NECESSARY TO CLOSE THE OPEN ROOF PERMIT. I CAN'T REDO THE INTERIOR DAMAGE UNTIL THE ROOF IS REDONE. EXCEL EXTERIORS REFUSING TO LET ME FILE A 'LABOR WARRANTY CLAIM' SO I CAN COLLECT ON THEIR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP. THEIR GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE, MARKEL, HAS ONLY OFFERED ME $4000. EXCEL'S OWNER, ALEX SHIKLINSKI; BRANCH MANAGER JORDAN EIGENHEER; PRODUCTION MANAGER JEREMY KUEHN AND HEATHER THOMPSON, SENIOR INSURANCE CLAIMS SPECIALIST FOR EXCEL EXTERIORS, ARE ALL REFUSING TO FIX THE ROOF OR HAVE THEIR INSURANCE INSURANCE PAY FOR THE DAMAGE. BUYER BEWARE.

Now onto the the actual work. I contacted them months ago for some estimates and Jim/Virgil was great to work with. He came out as requested and gave fair estimates for both drywall work, replacement stairs, and ceiling work. He even came out a second time to give an estimate for some replacement siding. The drywall crew consisted of two guys who spent a few days working on a small section in the basement, they made sure to make things look their best and did a decent job cleaning up each night. They were polite and always listening to my feedback. 5 stars there. The siding guy came out and replacement some cedar shakes on the side of the house that were missing from an old deck removal. He did a great job and cleaned up the worksite very nice. I was impressed with the speed. Again 5 stars. Jim himself came out for the ceiling work, he did a great job hooking up the electric and making sure the panels lined up to the existing grid. Again 5 stars. My only gripe was the billing, Their online system worked, but I think some deposits I made were just lost. Regardless they eventually took care of it... so updating my review to reflect this. Thank you, I for sure recommend them for contracting work, just double check the bills before paying. =)

I recommend Tradition Roofing and Exteriors whole heartedly. Their work is top-notch and their…read morepeople are knowledgeable and friendly. Before contacting Tradition, I received an estimate from one of "those" kind of roofing companies - You know the type, the ones that come by and leave a business card if your door and when you ask them to check out your roof they, of course, say you need and entirely new roof. When Scott Landa (who, in the interest of full disclosure, is the husband of a former coworker) came out to take a look at my roof he had an entirely different, and thankfully less expensive, opinion. After a quick repair, Scott was able to fix the area of my roof that I was concerned about. As he was leaving, I asked if I needed a new roof. Scott's answer was no. I not only appreciated Scott's professionalism, but also his honesty. I'm sure he would have loved to put an entirely new roof on my home, but it wasn't needed and he was able to accurately assess the situation and didn't rip me off. When the time comes that I do need a new roof, I'll be giving Tradition Roofing and Exteriors a call.
