Minneapolis Wheelchair Ramp Builders

Dave Bahr and his crew are awesome. We needed a 3 season porch tied to a wheelchair ramp. They took my initial design and improved it beyond my expectations. They kept me up to date on the schedule and the work started and ended when they said it would. Quality materials and craftsmanship. The wheelchair ramp was not trivial and Dave's team executed flawlessly. I was very impressed and we all enjoy the new porch. Thanks for a job well done!

CHRIS ELPERS IS A PROFESSIONAL IN ALL ASPECTS OF HIS WORK. A CRAFTSMAN IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. HAVING DEALT WITH MANY CONTRACTORS OVER 40 YEARS, I WOULD RANK HIM NEAR THE TOP. IN ADDITION, DURING THE WORK, WE MADE SOME DESIGN CHANGES TO THE DECK AND FOUND HIM VERY FLEXIBLE IN HIS WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH US. COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE PLEASANT OR COOPERATIVE.

CHRIS ARRIVED AS SCHEDULED AND WORKED EFFICIENTLY DESPITE A STEADY RAIN! HE CLEANED UP THE AREA AND HAULED AWAY THE DEBRIS. VERY EASY TO WORK WITH, HAD SUGGESTIONS AND WAS OPEN TO DISCUSSION OVER SOME MINOR DECISIONS. WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE HIM AGAIN.

Eric built an exquisite cedar deck with a graceful & functional wheelchair ramp in our backyard.(photos attached) The city Inspector was impressed & praised Eric's work, saying, "This is the full nine yards..this is beyond 100%" He walked around and said he knew it would be stable because he inspected the foundation as it was being built. But he hadn't seen the finished deck and said it was just beautiful and liked that the wood was of such high quality. He asked what I paid and when I told him, he said I got a really good deal. He said the wheelchair ramp would satisfy commercial code. I wasn't surprised because I have one friend that is an architect and another that is an engineer. Both expressed concern and advised me the ramp specifications had to be correct or I'd have trouble using the ramp safely. I gave them the dimensions Eric suggested and both agreed that his design was exactly what was needed. I told Eric I'd like him to replace my bedroom window with a sliding glass patio door which would open to a deck with a wheelchair to the backyard. Over the years, I've seen so many wheelchair ramps added to houses that were a real eyesore. I was willing to tolerate a large, akward structure if it meant I could get into my backyard. Eric really listened to my interests and described a deck he thought would be what I wanted.He said it would look really nice. I was surprised and delighted with the finished project. Eric is an excellent builder with an eye for design and attention to detail. The design and the joints and angles on the deck are like what i'm used to seeing in furniture, not an outdoor structure. He took the time to make sure the patio door threshold was smooth for me to use with my mobility scooter...and it is wonderful. Now I have a patio door which opens to a beautiful deck. Eric put accent lights on the deck and a ramp. The ramp to my yard looks like a graceful floating bridge like you see at a nature center. I love it. If you search the internet for "Eric Mortinson handyman" you will find a recent article where Eric is named one of America's Top Handyman and he was called a Handyman Hero.I agree 100%.

Very well, deck is exactly like I requested. I needed a wheel chair ramp instead of stairs and the ramp turned out perfect.

Justin (along with Scott Dunn, “Nicely Dunn Handyman Services”) provided the entire wheelchair ramp package - from design, city permit, materials, etc., and, after design completion and materials procurement, completed the ramp over two and a half days of installation work, in time for the "imposed" deadline. What was especially impressive, and critical to timing, was Justin’s pre-framing work at his home shop, allowing a head start for the actual final fabrication. Justin’s skills, work ethic and professionalism exceeded any expectations that I had. Actually, I was sad to see them both go when the job was done. This year, in 2010, I hope again to procure Justin’s services for some other work at our house. Finally, in this world where we often here of horror stories related to home contract services, abandoned jobs, etc., and this being sort of my first experience in the area, it was gratifying and refreshing to meet and interact with Justin. I definitely recommend his services!

My experience with Jim, the owner, and his crew of Chris, Cory and Mark was A+. Jim helped guide me with the solution that best fit my needs and budget. Chris, the job foreman, and his crew of Cory and Mark were outstanding and did a fantastic job. My expectations were exceeded. Jim and his crew were all professional, courteous, respectful and absolutely wonderful to work with. I would definitely hire them again! Linda Lange, Burnsville

I firstly met with Scott and we discussed the overall scope of the job, city permit needs and various concept possibilities and other aspects of the job. He explained that he was planning to bring in an associate (*Justin Monette - see submission on his role) for the wheelchair ramp portion, as this would be best done as a two person task. We three next met to finalize details of installation, design, city permit and payment. Upon completion of the design Scott obtained the city permit, and materials were also purchased. After some (critical to the timing aspect) home shop pre-framing work, Scott and Justin installed and completed the ramp over two and a half days, in time for the "imposed" deadline. All in all, it is a "functional work of art" - I couldn't be happier with it. Also, the bathroom upgrades, including a couple of "oops, I forgot this" items, were completed at the same time. Scott's skills, work ethic and professionalism exceeded any expectation that I had. Actually, I was sad to see them go when the job was done. This year, in 2010, I hope again to procure Scott's services for some other work at our house...."two thumbs up !"

The work was done promptly and on schedule and it looks great. This our second experience with this company and they are very professional and dependable

We would highly recommend DuPont Decks. They were very professional. They completed the project on time.

We just had Joe from Rosebud Construction build our new composite deck and my husband and I couldn't be more pleased! Joe is professional, courteous, was always willing to answer my questions and get back to us in a timely manner (which is very important to us). The quality of work is amazing and the price was great! When the work was finished, I was expecting to do some clean-up, but Marc and Aunders (the team that worked on my deck) had picked up everything! I will absolutely recommend Joe and his company for anyone who is looking to replace their deck!!

Having had a wood deck for more than 20 years, which was beautiful when it was young, I knew that when I replaced that deck, I would want something that didn't need to be stained or painted each year. After learning about the variety of products, I chose Azek because it is basically plastic, and wouldn't be affected by moisture. I could find just a few companies in the area that worked with Azek: one didn't return my call, one was very expensive, and then there was Outdoor Solutions. Mike came to my house as the salesman, and later, headed up the crew that actually installed the deck. He suggested color combinations, which was good for me because I don't have a good eye for design. The work took a week, including tear down of the old deck and construction of the new deck. The old deck was hauled away, and I liked that there was never a Dumpster on my driveway. Clean-up was pretty good but not perfect: I found several little cellophane wrappers in the lawn, as well as a hammer. I also found several screws in the garden beneath the deck. There was also very little notice between telling me when work would start and when it actually started - like a few hours. These little things, however, would not get in the way of considering Outdoor Solutions for future work. Mike did not respond to either of my texts after the work was done, addressing the hammer I found in the lawn and to find out whether he wanted to pick up the final check from me or mail it to the company.

Outstanding, Outstanding, Outstanding. Those words express how pleased we are with the planning, service, and professionalism of the people we dealt with at Outdoor solutions in creating our new deck. We expressed our concerns with our existing deck to Christy and Jim and they were able to provide solutions to our issues, including providing a barrier to keep raccoons out from under our new deck. An AZEK no maintenance deck was the answer. Amy, Marshall, Mike and Cheryl were the crew that installed the deck in a day and their professionalism and detail to their work was very assuring to us. WE could not be more pleased. Thanks to all.

Called Kraig one morning and left a message on his cell phone. Withing 1 hour he returned my call and made arrangements to look at the deck that afternoon. H e arrived right on time and provided us with an estimated cost which I accepted and arranged a date to have the work done. On the appointed date (there was no particular time involved) Kraig appeared ready to work. He completed the job in good time and his final cost was less than expected I think that is rare. The only evidence of him being here is the appearance of the new boards. Completely cleaned up the work site. Very good job.

We were thoroughly impressed with Randy's approach to providing us with a bid. He arrived with a complete package/brochure which included a letter of introduction and an unsolicited list of references of work completed within our local area. Randy was very patient with us in trying to decide whether to use cedar or pressurized wood to support the deck as well as our seasonal porch. On the first day of work, a three man crew arrived with Brandon as the lead team member. The crew was very professional, knowledgeable, and quiet as they worked for the next five days. They were extremely tidy in cleaning up during and after the work product was installed. We would definitely use their services again and recommend them to others. A job very WELL DONE!
