I had a great experience working with David. He just completed my kitchen and bathroom. Both look incredible and just as I hoped they would. David was very honest about timeline and how much everything was going to cost. Throughout the project, he stands behind everything that is done on the project and is very detail oriented, which included keeping worksite tidy each night. Finally, David’s communication was always very timely, direct and respectful, which I never knew I would appreciate so much, as there are always so many decisions to consider and surprises that come up in old houses especially. Thanks!

The only negative thing I can say is that our bathroom is the nicest room in the house and I want to spend all my time in there! Beautiful, thoughtful craftsmanship. Worked with us to stay on budget while still responding to the inevitable surprises that pop up when working on a 100+ year old home. Great communicator and very responsive. Highly recommend!

David replaced my roof after a hail storm. He handled all the insurance work and did an excellent job of walking me through the insurance process and set clear expectation of how the job
would proceed with time lines and was very good with communication, so I always knew where we stood and what to expect next. When the roof was complete David's crew did an excellent job of cleaning up.
Every time I called he was quick to get back to me, and even did a small chore for me a couple of weeks after the installation
no questions asked.
I would definitely recommend U Name it to anyone who asked,
and gladly use him again.

David and his team completed a roofing job for us after a hailstorm. The process was easy and they did a great job, they were able to do our house and garage roof in 1 day. The work was excellent and they did a great job on clean up afterwards. David was also able to help us navigate all the claim paperwork with our insurance company. I would highly recommend them!

We had U Name It Construction complete a fairly significant remodel of our 1925 bungalow. The project consisted of gutting and replacing an upstairs bathroom and adding a finished room in the basement to serve as a family room or an overflow area for a gathering. Throughout the process, David Lincoln, U Name It Construction's owner, communicated well with us - we had a good idea of what was coming next and when and kept us thoroughly informed of both project milestones and hiccups due
to things like supply chain issues. As one might expect in an older home which has seen many ad hoc changes and weird construction techniques over the years (and has rarely been visited by a building inspector), there were some surprises, not always pleasant. David was very good about explaining options for addressing issues and their costs as well as the extent to which he would be able to correct problems. He actually gave us as homeowners quite a lot of agency in the project and in setting its direction, so we were on the same page just about all the time. Unexpected change orders are never fun, but every one that we had on the project was due to the state of the house and not an arbitrary choice of the contractor coming out of nowhere. David's communication and transparency were excellent throughout the project.

David is meticulous in his work and expects his subs to be equally conscientious. The construction was uniformly of very high quality. He is also by the book - a stickler for code compliance but allowing for wiggle room inherent in an older building. His project transparency extends to inspectors; he discusses unusual situations with them ahead of time, so the work stays on the right side of the code, and the homeowner has no unpleasant follow up from the city.

David has a strong design sense. We had pretty strong design ideas as well, but he was helpful in helping us to refine them and steered us to good materials choices when there were questions.

Projects like this take a while. U Name It does not do quick and dirty construction (and we were informed of this up front). David respected that we would be living in a construction zone for four-plus months and made every effort to keep the rest of the house clean and in good condition.

There was a long lead time before starting - over a year. This was clear from the get go - the wait ebbed and flowed a bit because of the happenings in remodeling projects ahead of us in U Name It's queue. David checked in with us, to keep us apprised of schedule, and in the end the wait was totally worth it.

David did a great job on replacing our roof after a recent hail storm. It was not a simple process dealing with insurance, but David understood how to navigate it as easy as possible. The roof installation went smoothly and they had a good attention to detail. Definitely recommend David!

We experienced hail damage to our home last May. The insurance assessor examined the roof and declared that 52 shingles needed replacement. The surrounding homes were all having complete replacements. We had noticed that U Name it was doing a lot of roofing in the area and contacted David Lincoln. He began to document the condition of the roof providing conclusive evidence that the roof needed replacement. The insurance company found the data to be convincing and commissioned the replacement of the roof for home and garage. Without David’s involvement I don’t believe our roof would have been replace by our insurance company. Thank you David!

David Lincoln remodeled our master bathroom and also completed numerous other things we needed to have done. His workmanship was outstanding. We could not be more pleased with the way things turned out. David is very knowledgeable and professional. My wife and I would highly recommend U Name It Construction.

David & his team at U Name It Construction did a fabulous job for my hail claim. David took the the time to explain options and worked with my insurance to get the job done in a timely fashion. He was also very communicative throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this company and would likely use them for future home improvement projects in the future.

We appreciated his thorough answers to all our questions and how easy he made the insurance process.

David did a great job helping us with our hail claim. He was excellent with my insurance company and made the process easy to complete. His attention to detail is amazing and makes sure you understand all the aspects of the work. I have also used U Name It Construction for interior work, and would recommend them hands down.

David and U Name It Construction re-roofed our home in the Fall of 2022, after it was damaged in a hail storm. David was very professional in walking us through the claim process and how he anticipated the project coming together. Our project went according to plan and was done with much quality and professionalism.

There are not enough superlatives for the work David did in gutting and remodeling our 70-year-old, en suite bathroom. Although the footprint/layout didn't change, it seems bigger and is brighter.

Everything other reviewers have said is true: David is a perfectionist, maybe a little OCD, but that's a good thing! He noticed and fixed potential problems and made good suggestions about different options. He was fastidious; protecting the wood floors in other rooms and the bedroom furniture and cleaning up at the end of each day.

During part of the project, I was out of town. I trusted him completely and he did a great job of staying in touch via texts or phone calls so I knew exactly how things were progressing. Such a treat to return home and see the completed project. My favorite feature is one you can't see: heated floor! Just blissful.

I worked with David and U Name It Construction to get a new roof on our house. David was incredible to work with. He worked quickly while being thorough and always clearly communicating what was going on. I would definitely recommend David to others seeking help with a construction project.

David and U Name It Construction recently put a new roof on our house. David was great to work with. He was professional, kind, thorough, knowledgable and had great communication. I would definitely recommend him to others seeking the construction services he provides.

David did great work in our house. We ran into a number of hitches to our plan, and David did a good job of presenting us options to keep the project moving.

Small details don't escape David and it shows. the craftsmanship is beautiful and thoughtful. We are very pleased with our new kitchen and bathroom.

I also really appreciated how he cleaned up and kept our home tidy at the end of each day.

As others have mentioned, his pricing was reasonable as well.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience when it came to getting my roof redone from hail damage. David is professional, cordial and always on-time. He dealt with our insurance company in a way where our lives were basically stress free. I will only ever recommend U Name It for contractor needs in the Twin Cities!

David Lincoln performed the remodeling of our bathroom, and it was by far the best experience we’ve ever had on this sort of project. David was thorough, professional, meticulous, honest, creative and personable. It’s plain to see he cares about every detail of his work. He consulted with us on every aspect of the job and didn’t stop until the project was a complete success. We would use him again in a heartbeat.

Marcia Meredith

Our project was a complete remodel plus adding a dormer to the upstairs of our 100 year old home. David's work is extremely high quality. He is not only great at construction but is an excellent carpenter as well. All the work he did was fabulous. I also appreciated how well he communicated with us and included us in the decisions and design of the project.

We hired U Name It Construction to install gutters and repair a leak in our roof that two other contractors had not been able to fix. Gutters were installed and leak was repaired in a timely manner. David was great to work with, professional and enjoyable. There was a minor issue with the water flow in one of the gutters and David quickly fixed it. Highly recommend.

Sarah Hewitt

David and his crews have done several projects for us, including gutter replacements, replacing our backyard walkway, and some general home repair jobs. David is always easy to work with, upfront about possible issues, and reasonable with costs. We have been so happy with his work that we keep hiring him to do more, and we strongly recommend him.

We recently worked with David on replacing our front door and basement windows. Not only did David do a fantastic job, but he was knowledgeable and honest with both projects. He let us know all of our options, and what he thought the best plan was for each project. Despite running into (expected) ‘old house’ problems, David kept us in the loop with each problem and the best way to solve them which we appreciated. We throughly enjoyed working with David and already have a few other projects in mind for him down the road. I can’t recommend U Name It Construction enough!

We chose U Name It Construction for our kitchen remodel after reading several online reviews and meeting with David in person. David worked with our design to create an amazing kitchen we will enjoy for years to come. His craftmanship and attention to detail is what sets him above the rest. He removed the wall between our dining room and kitchen which involved every aspect of kitchen construction. From scraping our popcorn ceilings to flawless tile installation, the project went about as smooth as it could have during a pandemic. David stands by his work and the work of his subcontractors, fixing every issue along the way to ensure we were happy with the result. His work was tidy - he vacuumed and cleaned up every day. David had great suggestions and takes a practical approach when answering the many questions we had for him. Don't hesitate to hire U Name It Construction! Looking forward to working with David again.

David was recommended to us by a neighbor. He was polite, friendly and professional. He installed a new front entry door and screen door. He made sure to fix the existing problem first, before he put the door on. He communicated the issues and how he was going to solve them. I gladly will give him more work around our house! He took care of the whole project, from ordering items, installing and cleaning up.

David at U Name It Construction has great communication skills! U Name It Construction helped us with an insurance claim. We needed repairs to our kitchen and two bathrooms. They were professional and thoroughly explained the work. The work was completed skillfully in a timely fashion with attention to detail.

David remodeled our kitchen and it looks beautiful. He does a lot of the work himself and that saves money and time. His subs were also extremely professional. I highly recommend U Name it Construction for its careful work and reasonable cost.

David did two separate jobs for us. A roofing project and an interior ice dam repair. I really appreciate his insight and ability to problem solve and talk through a project and give you his honest opinion of how to approach it. He is the only contractor of several we have used to finish a project ahead of schedule.

David Lincoln provided a competitive project cost. He completely renovated our 20 year old bathroom to a modern beautifully remodeled bathroom.
He is meticulous in attention to detail. No cost overruns.
Very happy with the final product. Recommended highly.

David was referred to us from a friend who had good experiences on past projects. Everything we heard was confirmed with the experience on our remodel project. We would (and do) recommend David's company to anyone interested in any home remodeling projects. Ours was a kitchen and it turned out wonderful. The one very minor glitch (not David's) was a measuring error on a portion of the cabinets and that was corrected promptly and to our satisfaction. This was the smoothest construction project we've ever had and the results will be enjoyed for years to come. Thank You David!

David did an amazing job finishing our basement. With any older home comes challenges and David handled things smoothly and always let us know that they would get done right. He communicates clearly and always kept us in the loop. He has great attention to detail and holds those that work for or with him to the same standards. Our basement is beautiful and we could not be happier with the outcome.

Susan Jones

In our experience, David and U Name It did the job right for a fair price. David renovated our master bathroom in a 1929 home, providing modern updates while being sensitive to historical concerns. Yes, he is very professional, communicates well, and is a perfectionist about the details. But he goes beyond that: he's not easily stymied by the unforeseen challenges of working on restoration in an older home; he's a problem solver. We love the results and would recommend David and his company to anyone.

Seth Weeks

David Lincoln, Owner, is a brilliant, knowledgeable General Contractor. He and his fellow subcontractors thoroughly assessed my Garage and sidewalk needs. He and crew showed up when he said they would and stayed until the job was finished. They also did a fantastic clean up job.
This kind of caliber of worker and workmanship is hard to find these days.

I am a Real Estate Broker and would highly recommend him to my clients for any work they were contemplating.

We chose David’s company for a total exterior remodel (new windows, doors, siding, insulation, chimney rebuild, entry overhang, roofing, etc.) and are thrilled with the result. David’s attention to detail and consistent communication made for a very smooth project. The craftsmanship was exceptional, and we have received many complements on our old home’s new look in an historic neighborhood.
It was a pleasure working with David and his skilled subcontractors. U-Name-It Construction will be our first call for our next project. Thanks again, David!

He was very professional and personable, and he kept me well informed at each step of the process. His price was reasonable, and the quality of his work was excellent. I highly recommend David and his company.

U Name It Construction replaced siding and roof on our house. David helped us decide on the scope of the projects and choose appropriate products. He is knowledgeable and worked with us so we would make decisions that met our desires and budget. We were kept informed of progress. The city inspector commented on the good job done on the siding. The work area was cleaned up really well. We would use U Name It Construction for another project.
