Celebrating 20 Years with the Better Business Bureau: A Partnership Built on Trust
This week Evergreen Construction had the honor of attending the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota’s annual meeting, held at CHS Field in Saint Paul – home of the Saints. It was a memorable day for many reasons: inspiring speakers, an unforgettable keynote, and a very special milestone for our company.
The keynote speaker, Sheletta Brundidge, was nothing short of amazing. As an entrepreneur and comedian, she brought humor, energy, and real-world wisdom to the event. She had the entire crowd laughing while also inspiring us with her story — a perfect mix of fun and insight that set the tone for the day.
We were also celebrated as a 20-year member of the BBB and recognized as an Ethics Sponsor. For Evergreen Construction, this moment was more than a recognition of longevity – it was a celebration of shared values, community trust, and the relationships that have fueled our growth since 2003.

Why the BBB Matters for Homeowners
The Better Business Bureau has been a cornerstone for consumers for over a century, offering homeowners a reliable way to evaluate contractors and service providers. When families face important decisions – like who to trust with their roof, siding, windows, or gutters – the BBB provides clarity through its ratings, standards, and complaint resolution services.
For us, this isn’t abstract. We hear it all the time: “We checked with the BBB before calling you.” That trust has been central to Evergreen’s growth. The BBB helps homeowners feel confident they’re hiring companies that align with ethical business practices, stand behind their work, and treat customers with honesty and respect.
Evergreen Construction + BBB: 20 Years of Shared Values
From the very beginning, Evergreen Construction’s partnership with the BBB has shaped our reputation. Their commitment to ethics mirrors our own philosophy: “We haven’t done our job unless we’ve earned your referral™.”
The BBB’s emphasis on ethics and consumer protection has helped us reinforce those values, ensuring homeowners know they can count on us for:
-
Steel roofing solutions built to last a lifetime.
-
Impact-resistant shingles (Class 4 hail protection)
-
High-quality windows – vinyl, fiberglass, and wood options from brands like Marvin, Pella, and Andersen
-
James Hardie siding for beauty and durability
-
Custom gutter systems to portect homes year-round
We don’t just install products – we create peace of mind.
Local, Family-Owned, and Proudly Independent
The construction industry has changed dramatically in recent years. Many local exterior companies have been purchased by private equity groups, shifting their focus away from homeowners and toward financial statements.
At Evergreen Construction, we’ve taken a different path. We remain family-owned, locally operated, and independent, which means our only priority is the homeowner sitting across the table from us. That personal touch, combined with our BBB partnership, gives Minnesota homeowners something increasingly rare: a contractor who treats every project like it’s their own home.
We saw it clearly in 2022, as private equity consolidation accelerated: homeowners in Minnesota prefer to work with companies that are grounded in the community, rooted in relationships, and committed to long-term trust. That’s our competitive advantage, and it’s only growing stronger.
Looking Ahead
As Evergreen celebrates 22 years of serving Minnesota and 20 years of partnership with the BBB, we couldn’t be more excited about the future. Homeowners are demanding more than just a contractor – they want a partner they can trust, someone who will stand by their work for decades to come.
Our pledge is simple: to keep delivering the best value for the best price, to earn every referral, and to uphold the ethical standards that define both Evergreen and the BBB.
We are grateful for this recognition, for our loyal homeowners, and for a future filled with growth, trust, and community.
