Amazing home builder! Very detailed and thorough.

Our project included extensive exterior renovations, including removal and replacement of exterior siding, decks, exterior stairway, exterior doors, concrete and pathway replacement, painting, new roof and gutters, surface treatment of decks, and more. We found Schaefer's expertise to be exemplary and their services and prompt response to customer inquiries and requests very satisfying. Owner and project manager met with us several times at the property to review progress and offer advice. Overall, a very satisfactory and worthwhile contractor experience.
