They did two roofs for us after a bad hailstorm here in Minneapolis. For one of these they replaced a skylight and we were very happy with the product they suggested. This firm is especially skilled at doing roofs on older Minneapolis houses. (Both of our properties are over 100 years old.) It is clear they have a lot of experience working in the inner city.

Thank you, Jeffrey, for the glowing review! Hail storm damage on older roofs is a specialty of ours, and we’re glad you trusted us with both projects. It was a pleasure replacing your skylight and helping protect your Minneapolis homes.

I got new siding and a new roof by Thompson last July, with final completion of a remaining task the following August. The workmanship was excellent, with detailed attention on the siding and trim. Peter and crew took extra time to make sure the porch (which was sinking since it was built in 1919) had stable footings, and they jacked it up to make it level with the house to complete the siding. It meant the doors and windows were now plum, whereas before they were tilted, hence the remaining task to fill in gaps of siding on the interior porch and at the door (all were unexpected to the original plan). I had some frustration with nailing timelines down and follow up: I had a limited window in which the work needed to happen (6 weeks) because I was otherwise away and I wanted to be there to oversee the work. The roof and siding were completed the morning I was leaving town, which was stressful, but it got done. In the end I would use them again because quality workmanship is more important to me than project management (and more rare), but know that they are less strong at organization and timelines/appointments. I experienced more on the fly follow up, texts and drop by questions (usually on evenings or Saturday) to get remaining insurance estimates, measurements, colors, payment etc. He seemed totally swamped, but I think this is just the way Peter rolls.

Ive started working with Thompson Exteriors for a few years now. I have worked with numerous contractors in the past and I have to say Peter Thompson is a very hounest and hard working owner and really does his best for the customers he serves. Hes honest and works hard to ensure his customers are taken cared of and that thier insurance companies pay for everything they are owed. I highly recommend Thompson Exteriors to anyone needed storm damage repairs or new windows or doors for there home.

Great experience with storm damage roofreplacement, looking forward to siding replacement. Peter came to the house to review the job & provided shingle samples including higher spec level that we would have had to pay additional cost above insurance settlement. No pressure to go with the higher spec/cost option, which we declined. Lead time quoted at the house was 3-4 weeks and the roof was replaced 4 weeks later. Building permit was pulled before starting the job. Roofing crew completed the house & garage in one day: tear-off, new shingles, thorough clean-up of yard, and waste trailer hauled away. Peter was personally on-site multiple times during the day to oversee the job. Overall wouldn't hesitate to hire them again, they lived up to my expectations based on a doing good work on a small <$1000 siding repair 8 years ago and being a 30+ year old family-owned local small business.
