To Whom It May Concern: I have had the opportunity to work with Kuhl Contracting on multiple occasions over the past 20 years. Steve Kuhl is truly the Cedar Shake Guru. I first met him on an insurance claim in 1998 when he confirmed to my satisfaction that I did not have any damage after a recent hail storm. He was the only estimator willing to actually go up on my steep pitch shake roof for a complete examination. Afterward, he took the time to educate me on what I needed to know and do to protect my cedar shake roofing into the future. Fortunately, I followed his advice. Every few years Steve has come back for an inspection that has helped me maintain my cedar and get the maximum life out of my roof. Other houses in my neighborhood have not done the maintenance Steve recommended and they are in need of a full replacement at this time. Their roofs are deteriorating and leaking. According to a recent inspection, I anticipate at least 8 more years before having to consider replacing my roof. The time and cost for maintenance with Kuhl has been well worth it. I believe any other contractor would have pushed for the opportunity to replace my very expensive roof at the earliest opportunity instead of teaching me how to take care of it and get the maximum lifetime possible out of these materials. I found Steve to be honest and sincere in his advice and willingness to help. In the process, Kuhl's Contracting has done a variety of small repairs and other work in addition to maintenance. That includes replacing cracked roof vents and fixing a leaky garage heater exhaust vent that had been improperly installed by the original contractor. Kuhl installed a copper chimney cap in 2011 that is like a piece of artwork. Beautiful from the beginning, it now has a nice patina that complements both the house and roof. On additional projects I have found over these years that Kuhl's pricing is very reasonable and they are great at providing customer service. I am able to communicate with his office staff and get prompt responses. I have Steve Kuhl's direct email and cell phone if I need to talk with the boss. He typically answers and returns his own calls. A year ago I called him with a request that I anticipated paying for. Instead, he sent a crew to power wash an area of stucco that was stained and did not charge for it. I've never seen another contractor do actual work for free. I highly recommend Steve Kuhl, Kuhl's Contracting, and Kuhl Design & Build for any house remodeling and or roofing project. They have been dependable and done great work for me over these past 20 years. Sincerely, Ken Askew Eden Prairie Homeowner read more

I'm giving up. 3/28/2019: The Office Manager emails Steve and I to say that they can get me on the schedule, but they don't actually have a crew that can connect the 3 ducts in my attic to outside vents. 3/26/2019: Eric sends additional followup email regarding rescheduling no-showed appointment. Steve responds that he's on spring break in Florida, and to contact him when he returns in April. 3/19/2019: Eric sends another followup email to Steve and his contractor regarding reschedule appointment they no-showed. No response ever received. 2/20/2019: Steve's contact responds: "We are still going strong and looking like no slow down anytime soon with the snow and temperature changes. I will keep you posted" As of 3/31/2019, still no response. 2/19/2019: I followed up with Steve's specific contact Kuhl Contracting on rescheduling. 2/14/2019: Steve Kuhl contacted me about my experience, and is working with me to reschedule. Steve provides a specific contractor to work with, as Steve is overseas. 2/13/2019: Last week I scheduled an appointment with them to come at 9:00 this morning and do some minor bathroom ventilation work. At 11:30 this morning, I called them to ask when the person will be arriving. It turns out they totally forgot about me, and might be able to call me back as early as next week to reschedule. Good thing I didn't go into the office today. read more

Could not be happier with the work Ben and Carlos did cleaning my moss filled cedar roof. They arrived promptly, meticulously covered outdoor furniture, AC and shrubs near the house before they began to clean. Once both were on the roof I was struck by the level of detail they gave each shingle they cleaned. No wonder it took them all day to clean it.. Their clean up did not disappoint and they left it in better shape then when they arrived. They exceeded all expectations and we are so pleased with the job they did. My 12 year old roof looks newly transformed. As an aside, Steve Kuhl was the only contractor to actually walk my roof before giving me a quote. The other three 'roof experts' that I received quotes from stood in my front yard, looked up for 5 minutes at the roof of my large two story home and gave me a quote within 15 minutes. Steve's proposal came thoughtfully prepared with pictures and suggestions. You really get what you paid for. Will not trust my roof with anyone other than the team at Kuhl Contracting. read more

We discovered a roof leak and Kohl's was recommended by builder contacts we knew. Paul, one of their technicians, came out and did a thorough inspection and laid out a repair project to deal with the leak and to deal with poor initial construction. Paul was also the one to come back to do the repair. He was always on time, professional, took time to explain everything he was doing and cleaned the entire site after every work day. We'd have Paul back anytime to work on our roof. The Kuhl office staff was also very polite, helpful and attentive to our needs. We will be doing more work with them in the future. Mike L read more

Had used Kuhl's to replace a cedar shake roof years ago and was delighted with their work. Called recently due to rotting wood on upper portion of home, also several holes in siding where critters were entering. Tavo arrived, took control of the entire situation, worked tirelessly and professionally and was overall perfect. Would not hesitate to call this company for any issue they could deal with, am very pleased with their work. read more

Working with Steve Kuhl and his team was a pleasure. I got my cedar roof inspected and needed some repairs. Really professional and responded promptly every time I had to reach him. I was told by multiple real estate agents that Steve is THE expert in twin cities area on roofing, esp. the ones with cedar shakes, and they were right. He is very knowledgeable and it was a hassle free experience. I will recommend him highly. read more

Dennis and his crew from Kuhl did a very professional and timely job cleaning our shake roof, making necessary repairs, and also making useful suggestions how to avoid problems that could impact the useful life of our 16 yr old roof. By its nature, the job is messy but they took good care to protect the work area leaving it in very good shape. Their cost seemed reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

Kuhl's team of Ben and Apol did a fabulous job cleaning and sealing our cedar roof. Steve and the scheduling team were very responsive in getting us on the schedule.

Highly recommend! read more

Kuhl Construction sent out Ben and Greg to replace roughly 120 cedar shingles on our roof. Kuhl was easy to work with and had knowledgeable staff on the job. Definitely a company I will keep in my rolladex for not just roof repairs, but any home project that is out of my comfort zone. Thank you Ben and Greg for outstanding work.
