TESTIMONIALS

Dear Bob,
A heartfelt thank you from Bev and me. I had very high expectations, and you surpassed them. Bravo!

Thank you for validating my choice of you as our contractor.

Thank you for being so responsive to our priorities and respectful of our decisions. Most of all, thank you for your integrity, for being you. You have earned our respect and gratitude.

I will make it my mission to spread the word about you.
With deep appreciation,

- John and Bev

Hi Bob,
Happy New Year! I hope that you and your family enjoyed the holidays and that 2016 will be a great year for all of you. I also wanted to send you a long overdue testimonial.

I think we have finally finished the house, basement and garage projects (although there will always be something that needs attention somewhere), and I could not be happier with the work that you and your team completed for us. I was sitting in front of the fire the other night reflecting on what a great experience it was to work with you, Paul, Kurt and all of your subcontractors. Everyone was so professional but, at the same time, shared our enthusiasm for the project and our satisfaction with the results.
I am so happy that we were able to renovate a 1939 house in the right way. The attention to detail, the craftsmanship and the expertise are evident throughout the house. The project finished on time and on budget and the follow-up work has been great as well. We love living there, and the decision to remodel was one of the best decisions I have ever made (if not the best). My mom is still able to get over on the weekends to spend time there (at 91), so I am blessed that she has been able to enjoy the house too.

We are always available to recommend you, and/or show the house to prospective clients. Just let us know what you need.

Thanks Bob. Always our best

Dear Bob,
John and I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you and your team for the great job you have done on our remodel project. The things that have most impressed us are the quality of your contractors and the work they do, the fact that the timeline we agreed on was stuck to, and in fact the project went even quicker than we expected, and lastly the fact that any issues that came up were dealt with expediently and with consistent attention from you.

I believe we are almost 'there' relative to the difficulty we have had with the new water heaters. The fact that you and Tom have consistently suggested options for addressing the problem, and followed through on the steps you said you'd take means a lot to us. We never felt like we had to hound you, in fact you were quick to follow up with us to see how things were progressing. And despite the frustration we all felt, you and Tom stayed positive throughout.

You also handled the floor heating issue very professionally. Again, although we are 99% through with the remodel, your attention to getting this issue resolved has never lessened. I have the utmost confidence that until we are satisfied, you and your team will continue to work on the problem with no nudging from us.

In summary, the quality of your work, the adherence to the schedule, and the prompt and effective attention toward the few issues that we experienced is all to be commended. We highly recommend Flynn Construction to any future customers.

Thanks again,

-John and Kate

Dear Bob,
Now that Mike and I have had time to live in our "new" kitchen, we just want to express our gratitude to you and your team for making such a warm and special space for us. It's changed everything! We really do love it.

I'm so thankful that you recommended that we work with Bonnie for the design elements of the project. As you know, I had worked with several designers before, and always ended up a bit frustrated. I thought my Southern taste just couldn't become reality in Minnesota. Bonnie was different. She was able to listen to what I said as well as what I wasn't saying. She was perceptive and intuitive and seemed to read my mind and understand my vision for the space. In past years, I grudgingly paid for design work, feeling like I was paying just to find out I didn't like the designer's ideas. When bills from Ramsey-Engler began to arrive, I surprised myself by thinking "this is so worth it" Mike was supportive of investing in the design aspect. As an engineer, he knows the value and necessity of a good plan. It's so much easier to make changes on paper than with the real thing. Our project seemed to be different than most, because we weren't starting over. As I think you said, it was like doing surgery. It was all about carefully adding details to enhance what was already there. And the mission was accomplished! I know I can't begin to appreciate all the technical aspects of what was done, but what I do know is that it turned out to be more than I anticipated. And when there were glitches along the way, i.e. the granite mismatch, the ceiling texture, the too-heavy gel stain on the island, there was no 'drama', no debating; the problems were simply solved.

I appreciated Chris's supervision of the project. He was always a step ahead of me. When those things turned up wrong, he'd say, "I don't think she's going to like it" He communicated that getting it right and having me happy with the outcome was the goal.

In a strange sort of way, the whole process was a personal journey for me. I felt heard, I gained confidence in my choices, and I saw that with the right help, what I'd envisioned could become reality. The whole experience was positive for me. So whether I'm in my kitchen making a meal for my family or having friends over, or just standing back and enjoying the warmth of the space, I feel at home there now. I don't know how to say it any better than, I love my kitchen!

Thanks Bob, for taking such good care of us,

- Candi, for all of us.

John was not going to leave any stone unturned. It’s his business as a forensic psychologist.  He not only thoroughly investigated Flynn Construction but all of the trades as well.

Bob-
It’s been a pleasure to work with you, Chris, and the broader teams on our project. We are both very happy. We are eager to have you over in 2022 to celebrate completion with some good wine. Thank you for your patience with us and our crazy ideas, especially at the beginning. We really enjoyed working with you and Chris. Looking forward to doing our kitchen in a couple of years.

To the rock star remodeling team:
We want to express our gratitude and thanks for the wonderful job you all did on our second (Stephan would say first) story.

We love it - it's so pretty and functional! I got my tub and Stephan got his accent wall - perfect! We couldn't have done it without you. You are true professionals and fun to work with. You don't always find that.

Cheers and all the best!

Good morning,
All was merry and bright here when Rick and I hosted the Maple Road holiday gathering Friday night. Forty plus (!) neighbors were here and they all fit in the kitchen! Everyone loved the house with special oohs and aahs for: the staircase, dropped ceiling, upstairs peekaboo windows.

Thank you so much; we're loving the house every day.
Merry Christmas. Miss you guys.

Good morning,
Dear Bob,
Here are some thoughts on the process we're just completing. A major remodel is an arduous process. But for me, the experience was primarily about the tradesmen who actually did the work. These people brought their skill, craft and dedication to the project. The results are a tribute to them. My home is infused with their excellent effort and skill. I appreciate it very much and I'm very happy with the outcome.

Bob,
I want to thank you & George ... it was 6 years ago yesterday that George pounded his last nail, packed his truck with his tools, walked out of our beautiful remodel and were finished. It seems hard to believe it was that long ago but it was.

We SO love our new house and have you two to thank. Please tell George thanks as well.

Hi Bob and Chris,
We had a very successful day yesterday. The deck looks so beautiful! Thank you for getting the vent and door taken care of as well, Chris.  I love the sleek look on the side of the house with the flush vents. We so appreciate the incredible workmanship on our home by all of you.

Thank you!

Just wanted to express how wonderful our first floor looks! Realize there's a few little details left, but want Kurt and Bob to know how much we appreciate the hard work to get us to this point.

It looks really good - fresh and new - but maintains its 1930's charm.

Best regards,

- Linda

Bob,
Things are moving along nicely here. Getting used to plastic and dust and trying to stay focused on the beauty to come! I wanted to mention again how hard-working Aaron was during our time away. He did a fabulous job and went over the top by unloading our dishwasher! He wanted to be very accommodating to our needs when we returned. A truly pleasant young man to have around. That really rings true with all the crews who are here. It certainly makes this stage so much more enjoyable.

Thanks so much, Bob.

Merry Christmas Bob!
John and I feel so lucky to have met you and so happy you worked on our house. You and George are very talented people!

Thank you.

Hi Bob,
I just want to thank you for working so hard on our project. My neighbor sent me a photo of the deck. And Chris sent one of the kitchen. Wow! We are so very grateful for all of you. Thank you so much. I hope all is going well with you and your family.

Hi Bob,
We want to thank you again for the support and excellence this year. You helped us feel great about this house, and will enjoy the holidays so much more because of it. Best wishes to you and your family for a great holiday.

May you be blessed with happiness.

Just saying hi, and "see our pretty freshly painted house!!!" Chris and crew (Steve and CC) did a great job!

Cheers,

Bob and Kurt,
Thanks for the good pictures. Yes, ok, I guess you two have also earned a late evening drink after desert and coffee when we meet for dinner early next year. The cupola and the rest of the project look great, fantastic actually! Other than Bob showing off on top of the mountain, I especially like the picture of the house from the heights of the garage roof.

Thanks for all you have done,

- Joth

Hi Bob,
I wanted to send my own thank you to you and Chris for everything you did for our move-in on Saturday. I know you guys were here until very early in the morning of Saturday and I couldn't believe all of the details that you completed for us when I walked in! Everything is very much appreciated and it has been very relaxing and enjoyable wothking with you and Chris (and Lloyd, Mark, Esteban, everyone else that makes this project happen!).

Thanks Bob,

Dear Bob:

We just wanted you to know how much we are enjoying our beautiful new bathrooms! Before, I didn't realize all the details that were involved. Now, I speak from some happy experience.

When we first planned the re-do, all that we thought of was the layout of the fixtures, their design, and the color of the paint and tiles. But between that mental picture and the actual sight of the finished rooms, was the construction phase. The old walls had to be demolished and the new rooms built step-by-step. The electricians ran wires and junction boxes, the plumbers ran new pipes, the cabinet makers took measurements, the insulator shot in foam, the carpenters set in new windows and re-sided the exterior, the painter sanded and painted, and much more, as you well knew.

That period can be unsettling to the owners-- the loss of the bathrooms, the sawing and drilling and dust, and the strangers tramping in and out. But, NOT to us. Since I was home all day, I heard and saw it all. I saw that each of your workers was skillful AND respectful of our home. And I mean all of them. I credit you, Bob, with selecting such high quality tradesmen and for planning efficiently.

I credit your construction manager, Kurt Smith, with supervising them, and hewing to the details of the plan as it moved along so that no mistakes were made. Any questions we had, he addressed promptly and to our complete satisfaction. And a beautiful result! What more could we ask?

Thank You, Bob, and all the Flynn Construction folks!

Bob,
Karen and I want to thank you for the great job you did in our house. We are enjoying every bit of the new space, and we couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out. It was an enjoyable process and we both enjoyed working with you. We certainly appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail. I know it made for a smoother process. Please extend a special thanks to Kevin and George and crews. They were great, as was everyone who worked on the project. Enclosed is a small token of our appreciation. Please enjoy it. We’ve been to Campiello in Eden Prairie and on Lake St. and both are good. Good luck with your current projects. We’re always here as references.

Thanks again!

Dear Bob,

Enclosed please find my check for the final payment of our contract.

I want to thank you again for all the great work that you and your sub-contractors have done on my home. I have read and heard countless times that home remodeling is a stressful process, but the end result is what makes it all worthwhile. Not only am I thrilled with the end result, but (with a few minor exceptions) I actually enjoyed the process! This, I think, is largely due to your hands-on management of the project, and your wizardry with scheduling, so that the necessary subcontractors were there at the right time. I always saw progress being made, which made it much easier to live with the mess of remodeling.

Another good sign of whether or not a homeowner is happy with the contractor is if the homeowner would hire the contractor again. I’ll be calling you when I have my deck or patio plan figured out!

Again, thank you for your excellent work.

Thanks,

- Dorthea

Dear Bob:

Enclosed please find my check in payment for the punch list items, as per our agreement.

Thank you for all the great work that you and your sub-contractors have done to date – I do truly appreciate it. It makes me happy every time I come home. (Just think how happy I’ll be when the stucco is done!) In fact, when the job is done, I hope that you will feel free to use me as a reference for any of your prospective clients. I’d enjoy the opportunity to show off the what is now a “new” house.
