EMT construction and Mike has been a great company to deal with. They are very understanding in terms of dealing with insurance jobs so if you have any issues with the property that has to do with insurance, they are great to work with. Additionally, they also do very good work and I have a great working relationship with them. Randy Reese2024-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a real estate agent and I'm getting a listing ready to sell and I saw signs of moisture in the upper cabinet. I called EMT construction who had installed the new roof and siding on this home. They were out and diagnosed the problem in less than an hour. They came back the next day and fixed the issue. I have to give them A+ on customer service especially in a time where service isn't the norm. Thanks again! Brittanie Houston2024-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My neighbor recommended EMT to me after they were pleased with the work they had done. Mike did a great job handling the insurance company and getting what I needed for my roof and siding. Both jobs were done in a timely manner and I couldn't be happier with the end results! It was also nice that they had a contracted electrician to install all new lights at the end. Highly recommend EMT! Patricia Rodel2024-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with EMT Construction Services for the replacement of the roof and siding on our house, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service was exemplary. Navigating an insurance claim is not easy, fortunately, Mike and his team at EMT Construction Services worked with our insurance company to get full replacement for both the room and the siding. Having the opportunity to select a new siding color was exciting and Mike was able to provide multiple color samples based on what we wanted for the final look. He also helped us better visualize the final look with a mock-up of our house with the color we chose. I cannot give enough compliments to the crew that came to do the work. Their professionalism and attention to detail resulted in a job well done and we could not be more happy with the final results. If you are looking to update your siding/shingles, I would 100% recommend EMT Construction Services. You will not be disappointed with the final look of your house when they are done. Joe Nelson2024-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and his Team at EMT Construction services did an amazing job on my Investment property in Minneapolis. It was damaged during a recent hail storm. Mike worked diligently with with our insurance company to make sure we got a new roof and siding. He also convinced them of extra work that needed to be done to meet the local building codes. They were also very patient with the process of the payments and worked with me to keep that all up to date. I will certainly use them again if needed, and highly recommend them for your residential construction needs. John Bartunek2024-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great work done by a great crew when promised at the quoted price.
