"I highly recommend GGC. They helped me battle my insurance company to ensure I got my roof replaced. The work was done in a timely manner and the finished product is excellent. The crew did an incredible job, especially the cleanup."
"After the completion of a local search and calling of various roofing companies, I am so pleased with our decision to work with highly rated Gates General Contracting. Bruce was communicative, timely and very thorough. I can see why others have enjoyed working with them as well. We will definitely be calling Gates for our next project!"
"We hired Gates General Contractors to replace our roof and gutters after sustaining hail damage in August 2019. Bruce was very responsive and proved to be both patient and trustworthy as we moved through the process. This was the first time we had dealt with a major insurance claim, and Bruce really made the process straight-forward. When we were vetting contractors, the Gates reviews we read seemed almost too good to be true, but our experience turned out to be the same. His crew and sub-contractors took great care to do a quality job, protect landscaping, and look after all the details. At one point, Bruce personally intervened when there was a question about how to handle getting the materials to our roof because the truck driver had a policy to not stabilize his truck on a paver driveway. Bruce came up with a solution that worked for me, but that directly cost him money. We would hire Gates again in a second, and recommend them to anyone needing this type of work done."

- "Gates Construction just replaced the roof on our church, Lyndale Lutheran Church in Independence, MN. Bruce was very patient as we went through a long approval and financing process. He was patient and spent a lot of time to help us through the process. He even helped as we evaluated a hail claim. The roof is complete and we could not be more pleased. His team was even able to fix our bell! It is ringing again after being quiet for many years. Bruce and his team were terrific to work with!"
- "I called them to get my roof replaced, and I got a call back at the end of the day from Luis. I told them that my insurance approved the replacement of my roof and wanted to work with them. 1. He asked for the address to give me an estimate over email. All other contractors I talked to came in in person and and looked at the insurance estimates instead. These guys didn't bother meeting in person. 2. When I sent him the estimates, I never heard back from them. 3. I sent a follow up email, and Luis had automated reply that he was out office. There was another name in the response (Bruce), and I sent Bruce an email. He didn't reply to my email and didn't call until a week later and left a message. 4. Luis sent me an estimates of the roof almost two weeks later, and it was $35,000. The insurance estimates were $21,000. Huge difference. 5. He called a week after he sent the estimates and wanted to talk. I told him that his estimates were way high. He said my insurance company had wrong estimates (none of the other three contractors made that arguement and their estimates were even lower than my insurance's). 6. When I said I was going to go with a different contractor, he hang up on me. How RUDE! They say if you want to know the real face of someone, look at their behavior when they are mad. Also, half of the reviews below are from people who only had 1 review (the only review was here). None of these reviewers had a picture either. That raises a question of the integrity of these reviews and if there were real or not. Think about it! If they are unprofessional, unreliable, and untimely from the start, how do they expect others to trust and work with them? I am glad I decided to go a different route."
