I cannot recommend APK Restoration (Ashley and Phil) highly enough. 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.

If you're dealing with an insurance claim, they're definitely worth considering as they fight to give the best results to return your home to the way it was or better. This can be a long process but Advance Companies stays on top of it. Sometimes they'll need help from the homeowner as with insurance, homeowners are their customers and will be more responsive to pushing the claim process along; the same for fighting for what the homeowner wants for a complete repairs as insurance companies do their best to give just the super minimum to be able to do a complete restoration of homes.. The same goes with the remodel side. They give realistic estimates to what they need to complete your home project.

I hired Storm Group back in 2016 (yes, I'm very late in writing a review) to remove an old 2nd…read morestory deck from my house and install new gutters and downspouts on the back of the house. Their bid was higher than the other bid I had gotten, but the sales guy I talked to seemed to know a lot about old houses so I hired Storm Group thinking they would do a good job and be able to deal with any old house issues that might come up. Nobody showed up the first two times they told me they were coming. The third time, one guy showed up by himself to remove the deck and patch the siding around it. I don't think he had much construction experience and he didn't speak much English. He was also supposed to install a railing in front of the door to the deck. The sales guy had told me they needed to this for liability reasons so nobody could fall out the door after the deck was removed. I told him the door had been walled over on the inside of the house, so I wasn't at all concerned about this, but I said it was fine to add a railing if he felt it was needed. The "railing" ended up being 3 2x6's. It looked awful and wasn't even treated wood. What kind of company uses raw wood on the exterior of a house? The were also holes left where the siding hadn't been fully patched. I complained about the "railing" and holes. Storm Group agreed to fix the siding and replace the railing with an actual railing, which would be painted grey to match the house. The same guy came out again to install the new railing, again by himself. I wasn't told in advance when he would be coming, so I was leaving for work as he arrived and wasn't around while he did the work. The new railing wasn't great, it looked like a pretty hasty carpentry job. It was at least painted, although the paint did not match the house and had large drips in places. I had been told that the new railing would be the same size as the old and the same screw holes made in the house for the first railing would be reused. This was not the case. The screw holes from the first railing were left completely open and uncovered. There was also a crack in the siding below the railing where a tool appeared to have been dropped. Storm Group then sent me a bill for for the deck removal and gutter installation. I told them they needed to actually install the gutters before I would pay for that. They seemed surprised to learn that the gutter installation hadn't been done. They gutters were installed the next day, but I wasn't told in advance, so I wasn't home at the time. They were supposed to replace the two gutters on the back of the house, one on the second story roof and one on the back porch. Instead, they replaced one of the gutters on the front of the house and the second story gutter in the back. There are two gutters on the front of the house that had matched before Storm Group. Now they are close, but if you look carefully, they are not the same. The downspout from the back second story gutter was placed so that it emptied onto the back porch roof. I has very specifically told the sales guy that the downspout could not go there because it was a low slope roof that was not in the best condition, and putting a lot of water there was a bad idea. At this point, I was fed up with Storm Group. I proposed that they could keep the half down I had already paid but that I didn't want them to do anymore work on the house and I wouldn't pay the remaining balance since the work had not been completed successfully. They agreed to this. I really should have asked for money back since I think they did more damage than actual work, but I just wanted to be done. The best part was after all this, when I went to move the downspout from the second story gutter to a better location myself. When I removed the downspout, I noticed that it was really dirty inside and had screw holes in a couple of places where there were no screws. And then I realized that it was part of the old downspout that had been on the house before and it had been cut up and reused. I suspect they ran out of materials since they replaced the wrong gutter and part of the downspout in the front of the house. They had charged me by the foot for all new materials for the downspouts, so I was not impressed to find that the old downspout had been reused. Surely somebody must have known that something was wrong at the point where they were cutting up the old downspouts and reattaching them to my house, but nobody from Storm Group ever said a word about any of this to me (and I didn't complain because at that point I just didn't want to deal with them anymore). I would give negative stars if I could.

Had to have Levi redo the quote with more detail. 2) Contract signed at a set price. Final invoice showed $650 more than contract with no change in contract. This was not paid. 3) Good luck getting Lien waivers from the owner Nick H. He will send a Storm Group lien waiver stating liens are satisfied.After several weeks, I got one from the labor contractor. Suggest getting all the contractors listed on your contract before signing- with a statement stating unlisted contractors would be roofer responsibility. 4) Biggest issue - Part of roof did not adhere to the base. It appears the install done in below 40 F temps. Owner claims winds blew off roof. But the pics tell a different story. Don't expect Storm Group to resolve any issues you may have. Will have to replace my entire roof again at twice the cost. Note- If you wish to sail on the Titanic, Storm Group would be your roofer.
