He replied " We dont its already built into the price and We dont do nooks" What?! Your a shower and bath company! Then I asked how much for what YOU want to do to this shower? Get ready. He said 20. I said 20 bucks? He said No $20,000. For a 32"x32" basic shower! I worked in the trades my whole life and Im now a home inspector this just blew me away! This shower should cost between $5,000 & $7000 with demo included. This company needs good luck with salesmen like this!

It has been my pleasure to have worked with clients who have contracted with Scholl Construction to…read morehave their custom home built. As an interior designer, I help my clients select and design every exterior and interior finish for their new home. Working with my clients it is evident Peter Scholl pays attention to all details in the entire scope of building a project from the ground up. Today it takes a small army of professionals to have a home built. Scholl's work begins long before a any shovel enters the ground on a project. Peter listens intently to his clients to learn exactly how they want their home to function and look. These meeting also include in depth conversations about budget. Working closely with the architect, all aspect of the project are mapped out. Scholl has great knowledge of each municipalities required codes and makes certain all codes are met. There is always open communication between Scholl Construction and the clients. Trade professionals are scheduled and often rescheduled due to things like weather, adjustments for time conflicts and normal construction issues.

Finding Scholl Construction for our dream house was a true blessing. Pete and his team made this…read morecustom house project less stressful but more fun and memorable. We are forever grateful with Pete's professional and honest advice throughout the project. It is also worth mentioning that even our bank was impressed with Pete's responsiveness to their calls and queries. They said, "it's always a good sign when you can talk directly to the owner and not given the runaround". Our experience was a little unique since part of our build timeline was in the beginning of the pandemic, when everything shutdown except for the essential workers. Despite the challenges, Scholl construction was able to complete the project as scheduled without compromising the safety of the tradespeople. As a healthcare worker, I admired Pete's dedication to ensure everyone's health and safety. Besides Scholl construction's trustworthiness and reliability, their workmanship is topnotch! I wish I can share more pictures It has been a little over a year since we moved in, yet we still continue to fall in love with this little abode each day. More power to Scholl Construction!!!!

When I bought my place I knew I would have to remodel my bathrooms at some point. They were…read moredownright hideous! Seriously, who uses counter-top laminate in the shower!?! When it got time for me to get the bathrooms done I had the tough task of finding someone I could trust to do the work; as a single girl in the city I didn't want to get taken advantage of. Luckily, my handyman got me in touch with Tim at LA Remodel. Tim and his partner Mike are great. They came out, we talked about what I needed done and gave me an estimate. The work they did was excellent and completed quickly. Since they knew I was on a budget they consulted any time something unexpected came up that would cost more or let me know if there were ways I could save some money, which is why I decided to paint the bathrooms myself and save some cash. I felt like Tim was psychic, I told him what type of look I was going for and all of the samples he brought for me to choose from were spot on. He even picked the faucets that I would've chosen myself. They were also really neat and clean; you get to one bathroom through my bedroom and you could hardly tell they'd been there they cleaned up so well on a daily basis; my rug was cleaner than it was before they started! Tim even called so he could return my cat's favorite toy, which they accidentally took when finishing the job. I thanked him from avoiding a potential crisis since watching her diligently search for it was pretty sad. You almost forget she easily has about 50 other toys she could play with. Tim and his partner also did some work for my parents. They too were thrilled with the quality of work they did for him. As my mom said, their estimates may not be the lowest, but they're spot on - so no surprises. Bottom line: Tim and his partner Mike do great, quality work. I trust them immensely, plus they're insured and bonded.

Steve was…read morevery helpful in explaining where to order parts, as well as where to save money and where to invest in top notch materials. As a side note, he also brought in his painting partners, who did a great job in both the remodel area as well as painting much of the remainder of the house.

We will definitely bring Taurus back when additional work is needed.

We had an amazing experience with Schafer for our kitchen remodel. It was very expensive, but you…read moreget what you pay for and they made the entire process not only painless, but actually pleasant! We didn't have to worry about a thing; if an issue came up (as is normal with this scope of work), it was handled right away. Communication was top notch and we couldn't love the final result more! Because of that, we didn't think twice about contracting them when we wanted our garage painted, the floor epoxied, and a cabinet installed in our dining room. If this had been our first experience, it would have been our last. Frankly, we wouldn't even had made it past the quoting process. Communication was terrible and it took far too long (especially compared to the first project that was MUCH more involved). Erik was our carpenter for the kitchen remodel and is not only top notch at his craft, but is such a genuinely nice person that we requested him for this project. Thank goodness because he saved the day numerous times! He also communicated our issues to Jeff, who jumped right on to fixing whatever he could and trying to make everything right. Everything turned out beautifully (thank you, Erik), but if it hadn't been for the two of them and our previous positive encounter, this would be a two star review.

Schafer Brothers just completed a complete bathroom remodel for us. The whole process went…read moreflawlessly right from the beginning. Amy was our sells rep and helped us through the process and selection of all the materials and choices. Never felt any pressure from her at all. Erick was the lead and did most of the remodeling. His skills were outstanding and he takes pride in his work and customer satisfaction. We added a built in cabinet which opened in the master bedroom and bumped into unused space in a wall in the bathroom. We were quoted a reasonable price and Erik custom built, stained, and installed the unit on site. His skills as a carpenter really shows and my wife is ecstatic with the removable shelves and the new storage space. Thanks to his skills the bathroom came out perfectly. Schafer Brothers are not cheap but the quality of both the work and the processes make the cost worthwhile. We now have a bathroom for my son that will last, that he loves, and my wife has the extra storage space she has been wanting.

Patryk is awesome! I'm so happy I found him and I've already recommended him to my family for work…read moreon their homes. So of course, I would recommend him to you Yelpers as well. My situation involved a leak that was coming down into my living room ceiling. I wasn't sure where it was coming from but assumed it was the fireplace. I contacted another company that had done work on my home previously. Long story short, they were super dishonest and wanted me to do way more work than needed, quoting a very high price. We contacted Patryk after seeing his truck in the neighborhood, and he communicated very nicely. He came over, popped up on the roof for an inspection, and saw that the siding needed replacing. He pointed out that the other stuff quoted by the previous company wasn't necessary. Honesty is what we got here with Always Quality Construction. As for the work, it was perfection. He got a great color match, the work looks fantastic, and everything was clean when he left. I have more projects planned and will continue to work with them. They are now my go-to for all siding, roofing, and anything else they'll do! Highly recommend!

I don't believe you will find a better small business in McHenry County to do exterior work. Our…read moreexperience was with LP Smartside Diamondkote siding and soffits. It was obvious from the get go that Patryk was very knowledgeable about the product and spent a lot of time with us before presenting his quote. His price was competitive but he also stood out because of his communication skills and attention to detail. We chose to go with him above three other quotes/contractors. This proved itself to be the case throughout thr process: He kept in constant communication with us and his craftsmanship was impeccable. Do not start a siding job without meeting with Patryk first.
