I CAN'T RECOMMEND RICK HALVORSON CONSTRUCTION ENOUGH!!!! IN A TIME WHEN IT IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO…read moreFIND AND TRUST A CONTRACTOR TO DO A JOB RIGHT, ON BUDGET, AND TO BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED THEM, RICK HALVORSON CONSTRUCTION IS THE ONLY ONE TO CALL!! Recently, my family and I decided to renovate our basement instead of moving to a new home. This is something we've never been a part of and were frankly pretty nervous about. After being in our home for 11 years, we'd built enough equity to get a loan, and remodel, but we had a very specific limit on how much we could spend. So when it came time to find a contractor we wanted to make sure we picked someone who was trustworthy first and foremost, reputable, and knowledgeable. We had worked with Rick before on some improvements to windows, doors, siding, etc, through the City of Fargo Renaissance program, and so naturally he was on our short list of contractors to obtain bids from. Rick's bid was the best of the 3 that we received, and given our history with him and his business, we felt best going with him. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS DECISION WAS! The work done by Rick's crew, most notably Ryan Schuette, was so much better than we could have hoped it would be. Anytime a decision needed to be made on how to best do a particular job, it was always done the right way and not the cheapest way. There was never a concern about keeping it cheap, only doing what was best for the house, and for the client. And I can't thank them enough. Add to them their subcontractors, JDP Electric, and Magnell Plumbing. Scott from JDP was awesome, and listened to all my request for power outlet positioning, light switches, smurf tube, data lines, phone lines, everything down to the color temperature in the ceiling lights, and he made sure it was done just right. Mike Magnell from Magnell plumbing went so far above and beyond that I don't even know what to say. Example: he recognized the fact that at some point in the future we might get a fridge with water, and ice maker etc... and noticed that once the bathroom ceiling was in we'd never get a water line in, so he just ran a water line, even though it wasn't part of the bid, and that's just one of the many extra value's he provided. Rick and his team of workers, and subs are thoughtful, courteous, thorough, accurate, and precise with the work they do. Their is no notch higher than them, they are THE TOP NOTCH when it comes to this work! DO NOT hesitate to call them!

Being in an older home, you accept the challenges of upgrades and necessary repairs that come as…read morethe years go by. As far as sewer repairs go, that's completely out of my wheelhouse. Since we moved in to our home, we've had a couple sewer backups that were finally solved by using 1 ply toilet paper. Not the most comfortable, but it's better than clearing out a clog every six months. Any way, we had a routine checkup and saw there was a tree root that had collapsed the pipe. I asked the drain guys who they work with and they recommended Key Contracting. I gave them a call and talked to a couple different people, but they quickly came out and assessed the situation. The cost numbers that were thrown out were a bit much, but winter was coming really soon and we figured once it's taken care of, we'd be better off. Clint was the man in charge and he gave us all the scenarios, if they had to dig into just our yard, or into the cul-de-sac. Now here's where I was impressed with their being upfront about my options. Rather than give me the doom and gloom option of only having to dig into the cul-de-sac and costing way more than we budgeted for, as well as get the city involved, he saw a more affordable option. It was to dig under our driveway (leaving it intact) and boring into a manhole. The only caveat was that the city wasn't too keen on doing that anymore, but they said they'd make some calls and let us know. Nice to know that there are companies out there that won't just screw you over with the most expensive option. Inside of a week, we had flags and spray paint on the lawn indicating where the utilities were and the proposed dig sites. My wife and I were excited to see one was by the manhole, but the other led into the center of the cul-de-sac, the more expensive option, yikes! A couple days later, my wife noticed their trucks and equipment outside, and they were coming toward the house with a mini-excavator. I went out and asked what was going on and apparently they were ready to start work before I had a written estimate! (I'll explain their reasoning later) I had them hold off until I heard from their boss (roughly 20 minutes later on the phone), who explained that they were going to bore into the manhole instead of the cul-de-sac so we were happy about that. I just wanted it done, so I gave the go ahead. After a day and a half of work, Clint flagged me down and gave me the fantastic news that hooking up our new pipe to the existing pipe in the cul-de-sac was going to work out just fine, they just couldn't see beyond the tree root so they thought they'd have to go another way. This meant not having to bore into the manhole, thus saving us a couple thousand dollars! I was ecstatic because usually when the foreman flags you down, it's not good news, but this time, we lucked out. All in all, the work took a couple days and my yard is a mess with tread tracks and some filled in holes, but it was explained very clearly that was going to be the case. Having this done in October, they were able to beat the snowfall, so that was preferable for them. Another plus, was they took out some dead bushes for me since they were so close to were they were digging, my wife was excited about that. In the end, there really was just one hiccup along the way, which was not being notified they were going to start prior to getting an estimate. When I inquired about the estimate, rather than a traditional one, I was given a hard number that they wouldn't exceed. Sure that sounds bad, but it was the same number the foreman had guesstimated the cost would be around. The really good news, the grand total was about 1/3 less the hard number. Ultimately, I'm sure there are other contractors out there, but I'm glad I went with these guys. They're local, honest, and up front about the process so you feel included every step of the way.

They promised the entire job -- roof and gutters -- would be completed within a few days. The roof itself looks good, but they removed the old gutters and never returned to install the new ones. After being paid in full, they said they would come back and install the gutters later (even offering to do it for free afterwards), but they still never showed up. They now ignore calls and won't return messages. My mom has been left without gutters, despite paying for a complete job. While the roof was finished, the gutters were never done, and their failure to honor their word makes them untrustworthy and unprofessional. If you're considering hiring them, be aware of how they treated us.
