Nothing represents a community like the local newspaper. The Rochester Post-Bulletin has come to count on Knutson’s responsiveness and attention to detail in renovating their building. “I’m just a layman, so it’s super important to me that I can trust the builder with what’s going to be happening,” explained John Withers, Knutson’s contact at the newspaper.

Knutson has consistently come through for John and his colleagues at the Post-
Bulletin. Here’s an example: John called Knutson’s Sean Dols at 6:00 a.m. one July morning when their 100-horsepower motor burned out, meaning no air conditioning on a very hot and humid Minnesota summer day. “We sent to Minneapolis for a new fan, and Knutson had a crane, electrician, and three laborers waiting to get the 900-lb. unit up to the roof. They had to cut a hole in the side of our building to make it work. I was afraid we’d be without A.C. for a week, but Knutson had us cooled off by 3:00 that afternoon.”  The presses ran as planned, and the daily paper got out on time.
