WOW! What a house. I went there with my partner to check out the latest Schaefer built home, and we were not disappointed. The level of craftsmanship that went into every detail was very impressive. This company is on my list for when we decide to move forward with our own project in the future as they consistently do amazing work.

Erich is the best custom home builder you can find around here. He is a hands-on kind of contractor who really knows construction, not just a pencil pusher. Problems can come up with any construction project but Erich is a skilled problem solver, one who keeps up on the latest technique’s and will catch it if a subs work is not up to par. He is someone who can be diplomatic when dealing with difficult City officials, and know when a requirement is truly necessary or not. And he is a man of good character, after all is said and done you will still want to hang out with him!
