We have been TRYING to work with Kevin since the end of April to remodel a bathroom and bedroom for a group home to make it handicap accessible for a client. He had his architect come out (who was timely and VERY professional), but after that, Kevin was next to IMPOSSIBLE to get ahold of. He absolutely refused to call us back after giving us a bid. Over 10 times we were promised a call back to discuss a start date. We never received that call. We now have to start all over finding a new contractor. I dont recommend trying to work with him. This was a VERY DISAPPOINTING experience.

Very happy with Kevin and his crew constructing our insulated pole shed. Reasonably priced, worked through any problems that came up, great customer service. I would recommend TJ specialty construction to anyone looking for a crew who works hard and does great work.

TJ Specialty remodeled and added a huge addition/garage to our home in 2014 while we lived in it! We credit them with the ability to improve on features suggested by the architect and add their ideas to make our home suit us to a tee! During a very difficult winter and spring, they completed the project in a timely fashion and have done additional smaller jobs for us since that time. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing a quality constructed and finished home.

TJ Specialty did a wonderful job in the building of my house in Nisswa! They were responsive and always willing to explain the next step. I have referred them to many other people with the same results.

These guys are great to work with. They are timely and do a quality job. I have a beautiful lake home that I get compliments on all the time. I had saved pictures for years of how I wanted my dream home to look. Kevin is talented and was able to reproduce the look just by looking at the pictures. They really listen to what you want and make it happen. Love my home. I highly recommend TJs!

In 2012, we hired TJ Specialty to do a gut job on our home. It turned out better than we could have imagined. The work, customer service and timelines were outstanding! We have been so satisfied with our "new" home. In January 2019 after three weeks away, we came home to a house frozen solid and broken water pipes. We immediately called Kevin. With his vast experience, he guided us through this nightmare. Once again, the work, customer service and timelines were exceptional. We highly recommend TJ Specialty for any construction project and will definitely be using them for any future work on our
