"I look forward to working with Paape in the future"

Jeff Louks | CHFM | Owatonna Hospital Facilities Manager

“I’ve been working with Paape Security since 2008 for all of our access control and security camera needs.  I have found them to very knowledgeable and responsive to any changes or additions we have made to our system.  When we have had a question or needed some assistance, Brian has always been more than willing to help, from guidance over the phone to rearranging his schedule so he could stop in and help us out.  I look forward to working with Paape in the future for maintaining all of our security systems or adding new as our security needs change.”

"I can assure you Paape Companies will be a valued partner of ours"

Tod Rogers | Facility Manager | The Place | Boys & Girls Club | Head Start

“Over the past 21 years as an employee of Rochester Public Schools I had the honor and privilege of working with many great people from Paape Companies. My first exposure to Paape was with their boiler repair staff who repaired boiler controls, adjusted boiler efficiencies, or made major welding repairs to the structure of the boiler vessel. It was not long after that initial exposure that I became heavily involved with the building automation system at RPS known as Andover Controls that Paape Companies sold, installed, and fully supported. Over that 21 year time frame we converted the building automation system at 28+ buildings from AC256 to Continuum, upgraded our intrusion security system to Continuum, upgraded our controlled building access (card access) to Continuum, and added secured controlled entries at 17 RPS sites using Continuum. The Continuum system became the most beneficial tool I had at my disposal to address HVAC issues, security issues, or card access. Whether at my desk, in my vehicle, at home, or on vacation I could handle any problem that came my way thanks to the staff at Paape. One feature of Continuum that I know saved many dollars and headaches was the ability to do critical alarming of systems at RPS that needed to be functioning 24-7.

Through these many years of upgrading the staff from Paape were truly the very best at customer service. Their knowledge, understanding, patience, can do/will do attitude, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty set the standard for the other vendors who worked for me at RPS. Whenever asked or given the opportunity, I highly recommend Paape Companies as their support, service, and professionalism is the very best in the industry.

As I start my new position with the Boys & Girls Club of Rochester I can assure you Paape Companies will be a valued partner of ours.”

"What’s nice is if we have a problem, our system can be accessed remotely"

Arl Weinrebe | Murray County Medical Center | Director of Plant Operations

“We have used them for replacing burner fronts on the original 1949 Kewanee fire tube boilers when the City of Slayton received natural gas in town at that time we switched them to duel source fronts to coincide with state requirements.  When we decided to upgrade our boilers in the early 2000’s Paape Co. won the bid and installed and re-plumbed the boiler room for a new set of Hot Water Boilers and related pumps.

They installed a Building Automation System (BAS) Andover when we did our Surgical Suite addition on our Hospital.  A year later they did an add to the system when we remodeled our clinic and constructed an outreach area. In 2012 we did a remodel/addition of 34,000+ Sq Ft in addition to our existing 35,616 Sq Ft and place the complete building on the BAS.

All of our RTU’s, both plants and room temperature sensors are all controlled by Andover.  What is nice is if we have a problem and cannot figure it our system can be accessed remotely and we don’t have to wait for someone to drive to our facility.”

"We are extremely happy"

Ray Samson General Manager | Coordinator & Sales | Rochester International Event Center

“The products and services Paape Companies has provided is second to none. We are extremely happy with our camera systems and the quality of the equipment they chose for our particular facility. They are never more than a call away to answer any questions we have. I look forward to our next project with them in the future.”
