Reviews of Ellefson Builders
"Mike is an example of quality and excellence in not only building, but in caring for his customers and tenants. He was responsive and attentive to details. You are good hands with Mike and Ellefson Builders. Thanks for everything, Mike. Your friends, Eric and Heather (now in the deep south!)."
"I've lived at Midwestern Apartments for going on two years and I definitely got lucky finding such a great first place to live on my own. I don't have much experience with landlords, but Mike has to be among the best. Any complaints I could have are either out of his control (lack of recycling on site) or things that he makes a priority to fix (an Asian beetle problem last fall resulted in Mike calling a company to spray the apartment). Any issues I've had he's personally taken care of as soon as possible. I was initially very surprised that you have to put such a large deposit down, but it must be successful in bringing in good people as I have never had an issue with any neighbors. Living on the second floor, it does get very warm very quickly in the summer (it'll be 80 in the apartment on a 70 degree sunny day) but fortunately there's heavy duty air conditioners in the living rooms and bedrooms and ceiling fans so as long as you don't mind paying for it it does the job just fine (although they're pretty noisy). The outside noise from the highway (there's virtually no neighbor noise) and lack of a dishwasher are really the only two negatives I have, but it's not enough to outweigh all the great things about living here. Snow removal could be a real pain in the butt, but Mike is about as accommodating as one could be and you have until 10 am to move your vehicle. Even then, there's another lot behind the apartments that will be plowed and you can just park there. I would recommend these apartments to anyone. The worst part about eventually moving out will definitely be the hard task of finding a place that's run as well as this one."
"I rented from Ellefson Builders, Inc. for just over a year and it was the best place I could have ever asked for, for a starting apartment after college. Very reasonably priced and Mike and his team responded to any needs in a prompt manner. This apartment had nice appliances, large bathroom, and spacious walk in and hallway closets. Only downside was the noise with the traffic off of highway 61. You wouldn't hear it when your window was closed, but on a nice spring/summer day, it made it difficult to open the window. As I stated above, I would recommend Mike and Ellefson Builders to anyone looking to rent. Him and his team are detailed and care for their tenants above anyone else in Winona."
"I have lived in the Kaylan Executive Apartments since it opened in 2013. Mike Ellefson of Ellefson Builders, Inc. built a quality apartment complex in a good neighborhood. I have been extremely happy with my apartment and Mike Ellefson is the best owner/landlord that I have ever had. The apartments are well-built with a beautiful kitchen and bathroom area as well as a laundry room complete with a washer and dryer. Mike is attentive to the needs of the renters. He is courteous, always available and takes time to answer questions and explain things. Kaylan Executive Apartments have a heated garage and there is outside parking as well. The common areas are clean and neat and the grounds are well-maintained. I have had an exceptionally positive experience living at Kaylan Executive Apartments and I would recommend these apartments or any other properties built by Ellefson Builders, Inc. I would also recommend Mike Ellefson as an exceptional landlord. I plan on living in Kaylan Executive Apartments for many years to come."
"I’ve been living here for almost a year, but am going to be moving for work. But the year I’ve had here has been wonderful. Mike has been nothing but courteous to me and I’ve had no issues with my apartment since moving in. I see someone left a pretty extreme review so I’m essentially just going to give my impressions for the apartment and Mike based off my experiences with the issues the other user discussed. The bottom piece of weather-stripping should probably be replaced on my door, but I just laid an old blanket there during the winter and didn’t have any issue. I’m confident if I would have texted Mike with a description or picture that he would have repaired it. There were a lot of box elder bugs outside during the fall. They’d land on the outside wall and try to come in the door when I’d open it. I just went to Target and got some pesticide to spray around the door and the then it wasn’t an issue. There’s a thermostat in each room… adjust it and the heat will turn on and off when you want it to. Granted they’re the cheap electric heat thermostat that just go from low to high, but it’s simple enough to figure out. Putting it dead-center kept my place between 68 and 70 all winter long. Laundry is expensive, no hiding that one. It’s $1.50 for wash and $1.00 for dry. The dryers are undersized so I usually have to split a washer load into two drier loads. But we’re paying for convenience. There’s a laundromat a mile or two down the road that I’m sure is cheaper. The apartments aren’t soundproof, but they used some pretty good sound deadening insulation. I could count the number of times I’ve heard my neighbors on one hand. There is a train track nearby, which would be apparent looking on google. You hear it, but it’s not going to wake you up or anything. Snowmobiles don’t really run late at night, but you certainly hear them during the day. The trail runs in the ditch across the parking lot probably. Traffic noise is not a problem at all. You can hear a bit of road noise but it is impressive how quiet the apartments are for being right off the highway thanks to the great job Mike and his team did while remodeling. It’s not dead silent like you’re in the middle of the woods, but we’re not… To get an appreciation for this, just open a window for a bit and then close it again. The difference is amazing. Keep your bedroom window shut while sleeping and you won't have a problem. As far as plowing, I’m not sure what the other reviewer wants. Mike comes by once early in the morning to plow the center part of the lot so we can get to work and school. He asks people to either be gone or move their cars to the back lot by 10 so he can clear the parking spots. If he needs to plow in the evening or afternoon, he’s always given at least an hour’s notice. If it isn’t obvious, I’ve had a great experience with Mike and the apartment in my year here. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet apartment off campus or out of town. Perfect size for a single person and there are a few couples living in the building as well. Neighbors are nice and the location is convenient. Thanks to Mike and his wife for their part in helping me have a great year in Winona."
