Everything went professionally well…read more Not a major renovation, really, just some bathroom and hallway closet stuff for more room, bigger shower stall, that sort. They came, measured everywhere, scoured blueprints, suggested this material and that, quoted a price and time estimate. All sounded on the up. Green lighted it. Work completed as promised. Room now for all my linens, got a cozier shower stall. The floor's even still even. Would recommend and would use again, should I have another project.

My older Excelsior area home was in need of repairs and more usable space. With so many home…read moreremodelers and builders to choose from, I didn't know where to start. I had seen Danberry Building/Excelsior Design signs in the Minnetonka area for years and within minutes of meeting Jeff and his contracting team in person, I knew I liked them and that my project would be in good hands. Jeff and his team were extremely knowledgeable and insightful discussing my vision to expand my 1920's home with the goal of making the indoor and outdoor space more useable while maintaining its character that I loved so much. Now that the project is complete, I have 3 beautiful new rooms that look like they've always belonged there (a spacious formal entry, living room with custom fireplace & beamed ceiling, and a stunning walk-in pantry). Jeff's team also transformed my steep hillside landscaping (that was once very uneven) to include an amazing stamped concrete patio. Throughout the process, Jeff was always readily available to answer questions, stopped by to ensure things were getting done on time, and most importantly - he made sure that I was happy with how things were progressing. I was extremely impressed with his talented crew who worked non-stop all winter (and during one of the snowiest seasons on record in MN), not only did they do an incredible job with the new additions, but they were also so helpful with decisions, very kind, and always kept me informed of next steps. I am so happy to have chosen Danberry Building Corp and would definitely recommend his team. ~ Gabrielle (Galpin Lake area)

I would give 2.5 stars to better reflect my experience with TC. It was a toss-up on any given day…read morewhether the work would be done well & correctly or poorly and in need of being redone. I had a lot of trust in D when I first met him, but by the end of the second project with TC, I wish I had hired another company. It ended with attorneys and many expensive re-dos of his work for me. It is infuriating to recall all the broken promises made to correct shoddy work, the gaslighting tactics used to avoid corrections, and being told to work out problems with the workmen myself. Both projects shared many of the same problems. While demolition was quick, which was great, the work lagged for 3/4 of a year each & STILL, all of the loose ends were never finished by final inspection or after, as promised. D had great ideas that often came to him after the contract was signed, but he would not write all of them up as a Change Order, which led to many misunderstandings, unauthorized work, and unexpected high costs. D provided guesstimates for time & materials that were shockingly way off. D said many times that if he wrote everything into the contract at the start, people would never sign with him. After the first contract, I told him not to do that to me again with the second contract, but he did. In fact, he never gave me a complete and signed contract for the second remodel. Between the two projects, I have been left with a nightmare of corrections/repairs/replacements ahead. The under-the-cabinet outlet strips supplied by TC have faulty factory wiring, per his own electrician. D was in the rm when this was discovered. I have to use my countertop appliances in two different rooms of the house + the garage. The city devalued my house by 5% due to the electrical problems with the outlets. My step-in tub, needed for my disability, was left with necessary work remaining to be safe and functioning properly. After D refused, a plumber arranged by the tub manufacturer helped me. However, there is a remaining leak problem under the tub into the kitchen. This was a result of poor design on D's part during the installation process. A large gap along the bottom of the tub allows water to run underneath & onto the kitchen ceiling. In another bathrm, a shower was installed. I told them I needed the threshold to be as low as possible. D said it would be 3 in. high. I said great. What I got was a threshold 3 in. on one side & 6 in. on the other. The first time in the shower, I caught my foot on the uneven threshold and hit the floor hard, barely avoiding hitting my head on the countertop edge. D forgot to reinforce the wall, so there is no bar to help me with my stability getting in & out of the shower. I have not been in that shower since. It is unsafe for me. TC was the wrong company for the bathroom work to ensure age-in-place safety. Lights flicker in one bathrm, an entryway, & in the kitchen. There are delays in some light & fan switches turning on. The electrician stated that it was odd, but did nothing to correct it. Five electricians from one company worked on the remodel, and the one who did most of the work refused to correct the others' work. D would do nothing to get the electricians to align. The vinyl kitchen tiles had a directional design, but the tiles were installed every which way. As if that wasn't bad enough, after D said there would be no need for grout because the space between the floor tiles would be so tight as to be virtually invisible, I was left with tiles with large gaps that collect dirt & make the floor look awful. Three men did that job, who were not professional flooring installers & the results sorely reflects that. They would not correct how the tiles were laid, but promised to fill all the gaps, then reneged. Come to find out, they were going to use caulk, not proper vinyl grout, so it was a loss for me either way. There were so many unnecessary & ugly times that should never have happened. Rectangular door handle plates are installed at an angle. Sealant is smeared around the outside vents. A shelf & dryer vent fell down within months of installation & I was charged again for the re-do. The driveway was damaged. The furnace was damaged. A toilet was damaged. A hot water heater was damaged. A ladder was damaged. Yelling & cursing at me, by disgruntled men. The blown insulation behind the tub is sloppy & uneven to bare spots + with no drywall reinstalled behind the tub, the room is very cold, requiring 2 space heaters. They removed a tile surround on an FP, then refused to install the tile I wanted, after seeing a sample & approving it months earlier. However, they would install a size of tile they usually used. I heard that often; This is the way we usually do it or this is what we usually use. This was MY remodel, not TC's. The takeaway is that all the problems turned into ugly battles over several months, with some issues resolved but most unresolved.

Dennis very patiently helped design a new kitchen / dining room / living room with expert advice…read more He put together an excellent floor plan with extensive remodeling that included removing a load-bearing wall that hid all the support beams. He went above and beyond when it came to helping to get ready for the project. He uses materials and cabinets that are of the highest quality and yet are cost effective.

No sprinkler heads in the middle of the back yard water so our sod is dying after a months worth of emails begging Lennar to address the problem. A couple sprinklers in the far back and front yard work; the Lennar selected yard service runs them 15 minutes each per week. Help! Lennar says this is a priority but does not address our dysfunctional sprinkler systems and is not watering of our yards to help our sod grow together. Lennar or the HOA should be coming out to water the yard as part of our agreement, and they are not responsive to emails from our Minnetonka Country Club Villa Home neighborhood.

Lennar was able work with me to help bring my vision to life. While we do live in a track home community, it is incredible how everyone's home looks different and fits their personality. I don't feel like I live in a cookie cutter home. Of course, with any home build or construction, issues did come up. But Nicole and Randy worked closely with us to fix. They also are quick to fix things that happen as the house settles. The best part is the location and the people. The neighborhood is filled with families and kids range from infants to middle school aged. Our toddler already has made "best friends" and we often have get togethers with the neighbors. And being within biking distance to downtown Excelsior is a huge plus. Moving back to MN from CA, I wanted to be close to a town for the community, events, restaurants etc. We can't wait for the weather to warm up to truly take advantage of the outdoor space!

They were flexible with our decisions, and they allow you to truly design a customized home. We even got to pick a lot that wasn't in one of their developments.

They were also right on schedule. We recommend them to any of our friends looking for houses.

We came to them needing help revising a floor plan from another builder that would have been too big and costly to build. We were completely transparent about how much we wanted to spend on this property and were advised by LCB what size and features could be changed to bring us within that budget. We spent 4 months and tens of thousands of dollars with them only to be presented with a revised design that was the size they suggested but 45% OVER what they had told us they could build it for. Their explanation was that they don't control material costs. But they recommended the size and drew the plan so *that* was entirely within their control. No accountability. No apology for wasting our time and money. We walked away with only a design of a house we could not build. In retrospect, my advice for others would be to negotiate into the Design Agreement that the plan you pay to have created, must meet your budget within 5% (or whatever) or your design fees are refunded.
