Rebuilt the floor of my old front porch. Night and day difference! The price was right and they were efficient and tidy. Connor, Zach and their crew were all a pleasure to work with.

Can’t say enough good things about this company and its employees. From the receptionist, to Ryan, Monica, John and Ben, our experience was amazing. Ryan and Monica came out and gave us ideas we never thought about. Ryan’s ideas for the layout of the kitchen, to Monica’s questions about colors and how we wanted the kitchen to feel, made us think. They gave us ideas to think over and time to decide. After a few meetings with Monica, and changes we made, we were ready to begin the project. John and Ben were our team. They came everyday, on time, and explained what they planned for the day. Before they would leave, they explained what they accomplished and what they planned for the next day. We were always kept informed. Ryan would stop by and oversee the project and ask if we had any concerns or questions. And John and Ben made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Job completed! And we couldn’t be happier. See you at our next project.

Our front porch project is finished. We want to tell you how impressed we were with both Sam and Eli and the work they did on the railing.. They did an exceptional job. They took care to make sure the railing was straight, mounted securely and made sure to tell us what they were doing. When finished the area was cleaned and before they left visited with us to make sure we were pleased with their work. They are an asset to your company. Please be sure and comp[liment them for us on their work. Frank and Pat Riggio

The installers had the window replacement job completed in just a few hours. Zach was great to work with and was price competitive. The process from measurements, placing the window order and installation was flawless.

J&RS has been terrific to work with on three different projects. Clean up and care of property are superb. They pay attention to the smallest details. They have been very responsive to any concerns or issues that may arrise, both during and after the project. They have even willingly consulted on home issues that were not a part of the project. Costs are competitive with other estimates, but material options have been of higher quality.

We had a front porch (8’ x 28’ open gable design) and a small tie-in roof (eyebrow) over the garage added to our home (tie-in roof was previously there however they removed, redesigned, and installed new). Our project manager was Conner and he was awesome (project ran into few snags but he was ready at every turn). Always a text or phone call away through the whole process. The individual (carpenter) assigned to work the project was best described as “attention to detail”. He coordinated with me numerous times on-site to verify he was on the same page as us for the small details. The end product looks amazing and I would hire J&RS again without question. If you want to see the end product contact J&RS.

On a whim I stopped into their office and met designer Nikki. She made me feel instantly Comfortable with the entire process for remodeling my bathroom. The experience w J&RS was top notch. Nikki was great helping me select the finishes. Bailey was a great communicator during the remodel and stopped by several times to assist with questions. And JB the contractor was so nice who does great finishing work! He worked every day (full days!) until the project was done. I can’t say enough about all of these professionals. I am absolutely going to hire them again to do another bathroom and kitchen. HIGHLY recommend!

Common Questions About Deck Restoration

If your deck has surface damage, splintering, or minor rot, it may only need refinishing or structural reinforcement. However, if you notice widespread rot, severe warping, or an unstable frame, a full replacement might be necessary. At J&RS, we offer a free deck assessment to help determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Common signs of deck damage include soft or rotting wood, loose or wobbly railings, warped or cracked boards, rusty or missing fasteners, and a sagging or uneven structure. If you notice any of these issues, it’s essential to address them promptly to maintain the safety and longevity of your deck.

Yes, we can! Mold, mildew, and discoloration are common issues, especially in Minnesota’s fluctuating weather conditions. We offer professional cleaning, sealing, and refinishing services to restore your deck’s appearance while also protecting it from future damage.

The timeframe for deck restoration depends on the extent of the repairs needed. Minor repairs and refinishing typically take a few days, while more extensive structural reinforcement or resurfacing may take a week or more. Our team works efficiently to complete the job while maintaining high-quality craftsmanship.

To keep your deck in great shape for years to come, regular maintenance is key. Cleaning it frequently, sealing or staining it every two to three years, checking for loose boards or railings, and ensuring proper drainage to keep water away will all help prevent deterioration. Taking these preventative steps will protect your investment and extend the lifespan of your deck.
