My wife and I had our first home built by Donnay homes and have been very pleased. We've been…read moreliving there for approximately 7 months and have had only a handful of very minor problems (a single piece of siding fell off and for some reason our AC wasn't working properly the first time we tried it). In both cases Chad Donnay was extremely helpful and got the problems resolved in a very timely manner. Neither I nor my wife are very good at making many decisions all at once (which there are when building a new home) but the process was quite painless with the help of everyone at Donnay Homes. Overall we're very pleased with our home both inside and out, it's been a great first home and we would likely have them build us another if we move.

I never saw him, didn't hear a peep in the middle of the night, but in the morning my garage door was completely fixed, worked perfectly and there was a neat little bill left for me to find. He doesn't overcharge you at all like the big companies, he's fair, honest and does a great job!

He will take the restoration jobs that other companies would have torn up and replaced at much higher cost to you. I was quoted $1,200 by other companies for a tiny section of sidewalk that was sinking because they wanted to lay all new concrete, but Rich was able to lift it up and stabilize it for much cheaper. Great guy and great value.

Driveway could have been completed in June but we asked if driveway can be delayed till August/2023, we had a whole bunch of landscaping needed to be finished first. He said ok call him when I'm ready. We were scheduled to plant 16 Maple trees down our driveway when we found out the property stake was incorrect we were on our neighbor's lot (empty at the time) and according to our city ordinances you have to be 10ft away from our neighbor's property line. We now have to move the driveway, can't plant trees can't put irrigations driveway is lay with class5 rocks it had to be dig out. (All conversations posted on Yelp) long story short driveway was moved, driveway went in first week of September, two weeks later got an email balance needed to collect for driveway. (Loan closed driveway included) First email from Tiffany, an invoice for rebasing/digout/weeds. Second email from Justin, billing not for those reasons. Here comes the ugly side of Justin when I said I will not pay. You should never call your customer "dishonest" how are you going to bill me after my loan has closed. Yes we have talked about a bigger driveway which I was never quoted for, no change order was signed off by me like all previous upgrades. 1 year warranty was approaching I emailed over the list and this was the response I got (email Oct/23 MUST READ) they responded quick when I reminded them of state requirements. (Nov/4 email) Took awhile for everything to be scheduled. Jan/2024 I was still waiting for paint, emailed couple time no response. Finally received a email saying all warranty required by the State of Minnesota has been completed. Pay the $1200 and we will come finish the job. (In other words Feb/8/2024 email) I would never recommend TJB to anyone. A builder supposedly been around for so many years would be this petty over $1200 over mistake they made themselves is mind boggling! I would've just finished the job and move on to the next! Last few photos are how they left my home looking after they sanded down ceilings and filled in the wall cracks. The audacity for leaving a 2 million house looking like this. TJB "Luxury home builder" this is what luxury finishes looks like! I only wish I did more research and homework. We love our home and our neighbors, too bad we ended with a shitty builder. Not a reputable company in our neighborhood will continue to warn others!

Follow up was wonderful. Building the house was also great. Good product and right on timeread more

Patrick and his team were amazing. This is the second job he has done for me as he installed new…read moreconcrete steps for me in 2024. He just installed a new sidewalk and patio in my yard and I could not be happier with the result. He and his crew were on time, professional, gave me many options to choose from and took the time to make sure everything was just the way I wanted it. They were clean and efficent with Patrick on site daily overseeing my job. I have done many home improvements in the last few years and this was by far the best experience I have ever had with a contractor. I highly recommend Patrick and will definitely be using him again for a future project.

We originally wanted to work with them because the business is local and we have common connections. We expected good work based on feedback from friends who also hired him. What we got instead was excellent quality that exceeded our expectations. The team was quick, thorough, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was as we wished, even staying late and coming back, at our request.

**Public Service Announcement** We hired Dan Kurth, owner of…read moreCastle Gate Construction LLC, to build a brand new semi-custom home for us this year. It was the worst experience we have ever had with a service provider. Don't let his kind demeanor fool you, if you speak up and question the lack of communication or workmanship during the build process he will turn on you. We caught numerous errors (incorrect siding, items painted instead of stained, attempted double charging for items already included on the purchase agreement, ignoring materials/communications sent months in advance for installs, etc.). We shrugged most of it off assuming it was a normal part of the process, however, right near the end when flooring went in (it was cut far short & looked like whomever laid it had been drunk) we expressed frustration and Dan called a meeting at the house. We walked in to find him, his two children, two floor layers, and the realtor standing in the kitchen. Instead of the professional conversation we were expecting, we were verbally attacked and berated. He said we were the worst clients he's ever had & he could not believe we were questioning his quality. He said we should be grateful and thank him and that we didn't know how hard it had been for him to find contractors due to COVID. He proceeded to tell us that he didn't need us in order to finish the build, he could sell it without us, and that we could take our earnest money and walk. He wrote the check and that is ultimately what we did. Heartbroken and only 3 weeks away from closing we had to tell our little children that our new home was no longer ours. We actually had to buy back our old house thanks to Dan's realtor, Daryl B with KW Realty. Beware if you choose to use the dual agent realtor, he will side more with Dan, the builder, than you. He didn't even speak up when while we were being scathed. Now we have to see our custom house with everything we designed and chose for sale on the open market. Overall we lost our home, a good interest rate, and had to pay someone to stay in our old home. It was an absolutely horrible experience and we're still broken up about it. If we could leave zero stars we would.
