Specialty Contractors in Orono.

“I love our Weather Queen Shades! Ever since the day they were installed in early June we haven't missed a night sleeping in our porch (and it's now October in Minnesota!). My favorite nights are the rainy ones when the shades are down. Those nights it feels like we are miles away from home sleeping in a tent, a yurt, or a Japanese tea house. It's cozy, private, dry and beautiful in there. Buying Weather Queen Shades is the best thing we've ever done for our house, second only to building the screen porch. The shades are of the highest quality. You can tell they were designed with not only functionality in mind, but also beauty and quality. Working with Carla and her team was just great. They are honest, hard working, ethical people who really know what they are doing. I recommend these shades to anyone who has a screen porch. It will change the way you live in your porch.”

“This company was such a pleasure to work with. They were here in the wintertime to install my glass carriage doors on my barn when no one else would.. They really listen to you . They offer Affordable quality work with great communication through out the project. I am having them finish the rest of my barn project this spring .”

“We had another deck company build our previous deck a few years ago. The build ultimately ended up being absolutely terrible. Eventually the deck became unstable and basically unusable. We searched for a good company to complete our project. Ultimately, we choose Stumpy's. They had great ratings and their people were incredibly professional. We are so thankful that we did choose Stumpy's. The replacement deck they built for us is a 100% improvement. In fact, the city inspectors told us it was one of the nicest decks they have seen built. Stumpy's did a great job. We definitely recommend Stumpy's. In fact, we have recommended them to family for other projects. Their team was excellent, professional, and genuinely nice. They really seemed to care about us.”

“XL Outdoor Living offers superior design and craftsmanship for any project. We consulted with XL to build a sunroom on the back of our home and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. In addition, we utilized XL Outdoor to remove our exterior stucco and re-side our entire home with beautiful James Hardie siding. We continue to receive compliments on the beautiful transformation of our home by all our neighbors. Not only does this company offer fair and reasonable pricing, but Peter and his team deliver superior work quality and hands-on experience. We highly recommend this company!”

“We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Modern Design LLC on several projects recently. They are creative, responsive, fair, and their cabinetry is of the highest quality. Our carpenters and job superintendents also love working with Modern Design because of their customer service. Everyone from the top down is always accessible, which is of utmost importance to us and our clients. We look forward to working on many more projects with Modern Design in the future, and I give them my highest recommendation. - John R. Kraemer ”

“We have worked with Doug on multiple residential whole home projects. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail impeccable. The thorough planning in the design phase provided all of the answers necessary for rough in and installation. Any time that I am asked for input regarding cabinets by clients, architects or designers, I put Steven Cabinets on the table as an option.”

“Dan Ashmann with Twin Cities Trimming does beautiful work. He recently installed new base trim, all door casings, and new Walnut staircase. His craftsmanship shows great attention to detail and he is very easy to work with. I highly recommend TCT . I will post pictures once painted.”

“Everything was great! Before the process began, Tim sat down with my husband and I to discuss our needs and the look we were hoping for in the finished product. Tim's expertise and knowledge led us to our final decision to use buckskin stone for our project. It is a beautiful stone, and able to withstand the weight we need it to support, considering that the tall wall has our patio / deck situated above it. Tim arrived early (but not too early) each morning and worked long days in order to maximize his time and accomplish as much as he could each day. He was respectful, and kept the work area safe, especially when he left each evening. We have three small children, so that was very important to us. The demo was quick, and Tim disposed of the old timbers and other "junk" that was once part of our retaining walls and got to work leveling out the dirt and prepping for placement of the new blocks. Watching the walls come together was fun for us. It went much faster than we anticipated, and the project was ultimately completed in a couple of weeks. We went with a variation of stone sizes on our smaller (shorter), terraced walls in order to add some dimension and pizzazz to an otherwise boring wall. Tim took extra caution to ensure his safety and the safety of our family during the project. Especially when he left each day, and needed to leave large blocks or fill (gravel) in our street for use the following day. We had to remove a panel of our fence in order for the bobcat to fit through, but it was easy to re-attach when the project was completed. (Added bonus: our kids loved watching the tractor work). We are thrilled with the completed product! We have received compliments from family, friends, and complete strangers as they walk past our home. Ultimately those compliments are directed back to Colonial Stone. Their work is fantastic and well worth the investment. I cannot say enough great things about this business! I would trust them to take on any future project I may have, as well as refer them to my friends and family.”

“Thomas Decks, LLC loves Decks Direct! We order materials from them on a regular basis....post caps lights, hardware, etc. We are always updated throughout the process, and are notified when our items have shipped. They carry hard to find products, and that aren't readily available in our area. Great service, prices and products!”
