Help for those affected by local remodeler closing

Minnesota Rusco is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) as a residential remodeler.

Homeowners who have suffered an out-of-pocket loss due to the closing of Minnesota Rusco may be able to receive reimbursement through DLI's Contractor Recovery Fund. The fund can pay up to $550,000 on behalf of one licensed residential building contractor or remodeler, with a separate limit of $100,000 per consumer.

Important information about the Contractor Recovery Fund process

Before submitting an application to the Contractor Recovery Fund, the homeowner must obtain a final judgment against the licensed residential contractor. A judgment is the result of filing a successful lawsuit or the filing of a settlement agreement reached through mediation.

After obtaining your judgment you must "docket" and formally "enter" your judgment in District Court. This makes the judgment a legally collectable document. Contact the clerk of the District Court of the county in which you obtained your judgment for instructions.
