We hired Iron River to finish our basement. This was a simple walls, ceiling, HVAC and electrical project. They certainly were not the cheapest, but based on their positive reviews, we decided to sign a contract with them. We worked with a new (to Iron River) contractor. The Iron River employee crews (framing) were fantastic. They showed up early and stayed all day to get as much done as possible. I was impressed! The wheels started to fall off the bus with the drywall. Whole DAYS would go by with no one on site and no communication about what was happening. We had to reach out to the GC to get information. Things got worse when the painting started. These painters were new to IR and what was supposed to be a 3 day job took 3 WEEKS! The GC kept excusing the work saying we would finish on time. We did not. We had carpet scheduled from another vendor (because IR price was 2x as much) and they were not finished. When the paint FINALLY finished , the GC told us over text that IR was done and everything should be great! it was a mess. There were missed places, spills and splatter all over the woodwork and drips on doors, moldings and vents. We had to once again contact the GC and put tape on what we wanted fixed. The basement was covered with tape! Also, we were never given an option for paint type. It was finished in flat... that is a horrible solution for a family with kids. In the end, IR "fired" the painters after our project because of their performance on our project, yet we were not offered any consultation for the experience. In addition, the outside of our new egress window a mess. We asked him several times about excess dirt removal and the unsightly finish job. His solution was to spray paint the insulation. The paint job looked horrible and there was over spray onto the metal window well. Eventually he fixed it as he should have 7 weeks earlier! In the end everything that we asked for got fixed... but not until we said things needed to be fixed. I would expect that the GC would go through and make sure everything was up to IR standards before telling us they are done. Unfortunately, based on the experience, I would not recommend Iron River.

We recently completed a kitchen remodel in our 1980’s split style home. This was our first experience with any type of remodel project (except for those small DIY around the house) and we were not sure where to even start! We met with several teams to determine who would be the right fit and when we sat down with Rick, we knew almost immediately that we would be able to work with him – and he would listen to us and put up with us throughout the process. The step by step nature that Iron River takes you through (planning, design and scheduling process) makes it easy to understand. We were very eager to get started and felt like things moved a bit slow in the beginning, but by the end understood why! Everything in due time! And no matter what, it does not happen as fast as it does on TV! By the end, we (animals included) were all ready to have our house back to ourselves. We still walk into our kitchen and are amazed by the transformation! We enjoy cooking and hanging out and are no longer tripping over each other. Of course we’re happy with all of our new granite, tile, cabinets, etc. However, the key was the new flow. While we didn’t change the footprint of the kitchen, moving key appliances around and changing the space where the “traffic” areas are made a huge difference. During the remodel we knew it was a good decision, now that we’re actually using the kitchen, we know it was the RIGHT decision.

Iron River did a basement finish with exercise area, social area with dry bar, bath and steam shower. Kitchen update with new counter tops, back splash, fresh paint throughout, Deck replacement. Repaired water damage (and cause) in garage ceiling. The project was on time and on budget. Great communication with Rick, the project manager - very easy to work with but also responsive to any concerns. They are very selective on their choice of subcontractors, and the designer consultant (Jessica) was superb, giving me answers to questions I should have asked but didnt. My project included a Paver Patio, Iron River referred me to Corey of Mustard Seed which delivered a spectacular result. I was really nervous going into this project as there a re a lot of horror stories working with contractors, but Iron River delivered a quality project. I would not hesitate to recommend this company

I have already recommended Iron River to a couple friends for their projects.They took a simple screen porch rebuild and brought imagination, creativity and a super can-do work ethic to make it fabulous. Everyone from the Project Manager to the subs were on-time, communicative and professional. The estimate respected my budget, and the PM smoothened out a few unexpected permitting issues with the City of Mpls to keep the project on track, on budget, and on time. In the end, there were no loose ends to get tied up--they executed the final punch list promptly and clean up was good. I will be calling Iron River again for the next project.

I watched one of workers closely all day long because he was such a skilled carpenter. He knew what he was doing, and he must have been doing this for quite a while because all his cuts of wood fit perfectly. I am amazed by our smooth-looking roof. If one had not watched how quickly and skillfully this had been done, one wouldnt be particularly impressed with the roof. But watching how it was done was impressive. I held my breath, fearing that a window would get damaged--or something--but this didnt happen. Plus, the guys were all very pleasant. Im very pleased with everything.

We hired Iron River to lay tile in our two bedrooms and the laundry area in our condo. Alex came out and looked at the condo. He wasnt able to give an estimate immediately, as he needed to talk to a tile person. The job that the crew did was amazing. We are very happy with the results. Unfortunately, we later found out from our realtor that we were given a steep price and that we could have found someone else to do the same job, with the same quality for cheaper (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). We had the place painted and now the tile really stands out.

We had some siding and soffit that needed to be finished after an addition to our house. Iron River came in and did a fantastic job of completing this work, but what stood above all the others was their professionalism and communication. They showed up when they said they would, completed when they said they would, and the completed project looks awesome. Best of all they left the job clean as if they werent even there. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have any type of project done. Thanks John and crew. Excellent job.

We have worked with Iron River on three projects: basement room addition, bathroom remodel and new windows and doors. Each time they have been professional, on time and always available if I had questions. We had never done any sort of home remodeling before hiring Iron River so we needed a lot of hand holding in the beginning. They were excellent at communicating what steps were involved with each project, costs and how the construction may affect us. Highly recommend!
