Customer Reviews

"New Life has been outstanding in all aspects of replacing our roof and in handling the insurance claim. James has been our main contact. He is one of the most energetic and responsive representatives we have worked with in any type of service industry. He has championed for us in the interactions with the insurance company. The roof replacement began within 10 days of insurance approval and was complete within two days at a very high level of quality and craftsmanship. We would recommend New Life Contracting to anyone and they will be the first company we will contact should we need roof services again."

- "Carl B. with New Life Contracting exceeded all of our expectations and is absolutely the best in the business. If we ever need to deal with storm damage claims again, New Life Contracting will be our go to. In April 2021 we noticed the dormer on our home was falling apart. Being first time homeowners we were shocked and at a loss for what to do next. After posting on a neighborhood Facebook page asking for neighbors' advice, Carl was at our door step within an hour on a Sunday afternoon. He diligently examined the damage and walked us through our next steps. Carl immediately and correctly identified asbestos siding on our 1923 home and advised that fixing the roof would require replacing the siding as it cannot be mismatched according to city code. That very day, I filed a claim with my insurance which began a very long and tedious process. After Carl’s initial visit, I contacted six other roofing contractors to get other opinions as per the advice of my insurance. I received different bids and recommendations but none of the others came close to being as knowledgeable and patient as Carl. No other company realized I had asbestos siding and some could not even identify the hail damage. When the insurance adjuster arrived to inspect the damages, Carl was also on site to assist and answer any questions about the roof which he had already inspected. New Life Contracting continued to work with me throughout the insurance process and assisted with getting the adjustments necessary to complete the work on my roof, gutters and siding. When construction began, Carl was consistently on site directing the crews. His attention to detail and urgency in addressing any of my concerns made it obvious that we made the right choice in roofing contractors. For example, he added a chimney cap on our tall chimney where a squirrel had entered the previous year. Carl with New Life Contracting set a new standard for going above and beyond. Now that the work on my home is complete, the house looks brand new and we consistently get compliments from neighbors and friends. We could not have asked for a better, more knowledgable and thorough contractor who truly cared about our home as though it was his own. Thanks again Carl and New Life Contracting!"
- "They are the most organized, professional and pleasant contractor in the Twin Cities."
- "HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company!!! They did our roof, facia, and gutters back in 09'. Told us that if we ever have our gutters clog up, contact them and they'd take care of it. Spoke with Lou Anne in the office and she scheduled Tony to come out. He did an AMAZING job. i love when companies stick by their work. They're so nice and professional....."
- "Our New Life contractor, Zach, was very responsive and dedicated to, not just getting the job done, but getting it done right and getting the right coverage from our insurance company. When the insurance company kept delaying, requesting more pictures and even initially denying there was proof of damage, Zach jumped in and worked closely with a variety of adjusters to ensure the full coverage cost was provided. Zach even went back to the original lifetime shingles we had and convinced the insurance company that they needed to base the estimate on 50 year shingles rather that the 30 year shingles they had in their original estimate ... for which the insurance company provided additional funds. We also had a potential storm on the day of the installation so New Life brought in 2 crews who worked steadily to put down the 45 squares of roofing along with improved ice dam considerations and a complete clean well in advance of the storm. We are extremely impressed with the efforts of Zach and New Life. We heartily recommend New Life Contracting to anyone considering replacing their roofs."
- "We had a new roof siding and gutters put on our house. We worked with Zach H and his communication was great the entire time from the first day I met him to the day everything was complete. Our roof siding and gutters were replaced due to hail damage. Zach did all the foot work with our insurance company and explained the whole process to us throughout the whole time. Zach always made sure we were happy throughout the whole process and answered all my questions. New Life Contracting was a great company to work with and I highly recommend them."
- "I had my roof replaced and Joe was extremely helpful from the beginning, dealing with the insurance company through final inspection. He was always openly communicating with me, answering my questions and all updates he had."
- "Working with New Life Contracting was a great and pleasant experience. Our project manager Zach did an outstanding job helping us through the entire process. Just for reference my wife and I had an insurance claim due to a hail storm that came through. During this claim we were able to get our roof, window wraps, and siding replaced. So they did a good amount of work with multiple site visits. Having that said, I want to highlight some key items that Zach and New Life Contracting did that made our housing improvement process such a wonderful experience. 1. Zach was available from the beginning of the project. He even offered to help talk to the claim representative. During our claim inspection, Zach showed up to point some key damage areas to our adjuster. He then worked directly with our adjuster to process the approval. 2. New Life Contracting took care of the entire clam process by talking directly with my insurance. They told me what was covered, what was not, and how much it may cost. They are very transparent in this and I later verify this with my insurance agent. 3. Zach was patient and helpful during our material selection process. He made great recommendations based on his experience and made multiple trips back and forth in order to get us our desire samples. 4. New Life Contracting always keep my wife and I updated on what was going on. They informed us of delays, who was coming to do the work, and how long it would take. So all in all I felt they did an excellent job. There weren’t any run arounds, aggressive tactics, or hidden cost. I would definitely recommend New Life Contracting for your housing needs."
- "We had hail and wind damage on our home and New Life Contracting took on the repair job. Joe did everything. He contacted the repairmen and our insurance company and everything went smoothly. My wife and I are very happy with the results and would not hesitate in contacting NLC if we are in need of construction work in the future."
- "Just a quick note to thank Ricky and the team at New Life Contracting for an amazing roofing experience! Because of the unique color of our house, we struggled with the shingle color. When I lamented to the woman who runs the office, she offered a sympathetic ear and kind tone, and encouraged us to take our time and not rush the decision. Along with a variety of samples, Ricky went out of his way to find addresses of existing homes so that we could see actual roofs to narrow down the options. Ricky also discovered that our insurance covered new gutters as well. He alleviated our concerns regarding the skylight replacement; calls were promptly followed up, and he was on-site ensuring that the work was professionally done and completed on time. The clean-up was absolutely pristine, with Ricky, personally, making sure any stray nails were found. His expertise made us feel secure and made the process flawless. New Life Contracting has done many, many homes in our area—their excellent reputation well earned. Our new roof and gutters look fantastic! Ricky is an all-around great guy and was a pleasure to work with."
- "We were very pleased with the way New Life Contracting took care of our claim following the storm damage we suffered this summer. From the very beginning, Zach was working on our behalf to satisfy our concerns with the replacement of our roof, screens, gutters and downspouts. He clearly explained the claims process and developed a good working relationship with our insurance adjuster to make sure the claim was processed accurately and expeditiously. The on-site crews that performed the repairs worked efficiently and fully cleaned up the work site once they were completed."
- "We had a very good experience with New Life Contracting for our recent roof repair. Being our first time dealing with roof damage, I was unsure how the process would go. Our neighbors recommended Zach Hinton after he worked on their roof, and he didn’t disappoint. He was available and on site to ensure things were accurate and went according to schedule. He communicated well by explaining the entire process and promptly answered any questions we had. Overall it was a relatively stress-free process."
- "We are so impressed with the ease of dealing with storm damage and needing a new roof. Joe made this experience very simple and quick. Helped us with all the steps involved to completion. We have already recommended them to friends and would highly recommend. We are so happy with the color selection and very impressed with how clean our yard was after they were done. Literally no clean up for us. Thank you."
