Established in 1975, MIG Building Systems is a Rochester and Syracuse based contractor specializing in home insulation and various home improvement projects. Our services include installing gutters, fireplaces, shelving, shower doors, and bathroom hardware.
I should start with fact that I'm a building inspector. I see every level of workmanship... or lack thereof.
We bought a derelict house to fix up and help restore a neighborhood. We knew it would be an uphill battle. When we removed the drywall to insulate, it was apparent that every stud cavity dimension was different. Spray foam insulation wasn't in the budget, but it was the only viable solution. We obtained six quotes for the roof, walls, and band joists.
Derek Minscher(?) from MIG gave us a quote, plus great advice and helped obtain a grant to offset the emergency in our budget.
The crew they sent to apply the spray foam was amazing.
George (pretty sure it was really Jorge) and James got straight to work, protected every surface and made certain conditions were optimal for the application. James sprayed and George made sure that there was no spray anywhere but where it belonged. These guys worked hard and efficiently- every move was measured. They worked steadily, politely and without comment or complaint. They were a finely tuned machine.
I'm used to being underwhelmed lately, so getting this effort was a really big deal. After witnessing their professionalism, I had the same crew insulate an addition on my own home.
I recommend, without reservation, MIG for closed cell insulation.

Hello !
We recently had new gutters, downspouts and Gutter Helmets installed by MIG. It was a pleasure working with Derek from the sales team…he did a great job reviewing the options for our situation, was not pushy, always professional and was willing to answer any questions or concerns along the way…great guy!
We had Gutter Helmets installed on the back of our house almost 20 years ago and were in the process of also getting a new roof and needed them removed for the roofers to do their installation. John and Nate came to remove the helmets, did a great job, were quick and efficient, great guys!
I was always curious how effective the helmets performed over time and was pleasantly surprised to see the inside of the gutters we had removed were pretty much empty except for the usual gritty run off from the shingles over time.
This post is also a testament to the effectiveness of the Gutter Helmets as well…we had Leaf Filter installed on the front of our house and although they make a quality product, based on the track record we experienced with the Gutter Helmets for almost 20 years of use, I had MIG remove them and install Gutter Helmets on the front of the house as well!
We were fortunate to have John and Nate come back to re-install the Gutter Helmets, install the new ones and also install new gutters and downspouts as well…they work very well together, were clean, efficient and willing to answer any questions I had along the way…they do a great job at their trade!
I would not hesitate to call on MIG for any future home improvement needs and would highly recommend them to family and friends…great company to work with !!

I have no idea what happened to MIG they use to be great NOW not so great, we had new gutters put up a few years ago and the crew and office staff were wonderful, after this years storm we had a tree go down on the garage crushing the gutter I called MIG and John came out and gave us an estimate , we advised MIG that we are having the rest of the trees taken down and I wanted the new gutter up after the trees were cut down I wrote it on the contract I called and spoke with 2 people and guess what , they called the next day to schedule it for that week I asked them what part did you not understand after that I was not treated kindly by the office staff. I had to call John who apologized and advised the office to wait for my call. The tress came down a few weeks later and I called MIG to schedule the appointment and WAS told that I would receive a call the night before the install with a time , guess what no call, I again had to call John again and was promised that his crew would be at my home between 8 and 9 am , no one showed up I checked voice mail and the office called at 9:40am telling me "good news, the crew will be at my home at 11am" again I called John and was told they had a gutter emergency they had to do first, really ?? a gutter emergency , so I called the office and asked how come there was no call earlier or the night before , I was told I miss understood that they don't call till the day of installation , really I miss understood they call the day of install, how can customers plan their day if they don't call till the day of. Their gutters and install crew are the best but their Office and customer service is NOT
