SCHMIDT & ASSOCIATES

I saw a report by someone who experienced shoddy plumbing through Schmidt. We experienced the exact same thing. They installed a shower head through uninsulated attic space. The pipes froze long after Schmidt disappeared. Although we paid for high end products - they chose the cheapest option available. It was a constant effort to try and stay ahead of their poor choices. Could not pin them down for the final punch list. In some cases we had to find other contractors to finish the work. Constant demand for payments which never seemed to get passed on to the sub contractors. Some of the subs rang our doorbell to get paid after we had already paid Schmidt for their work. Bernie Schmidt has several companies running under different names so be careful!! One of which is Pure Energy Alternatives. I believe he is still building energy efficient homes in the area. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUILDER AND BERNIE SCHMIDT AT ALL COSTS.

THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN BARRED FROM DOING BUSINESS IN WILMETTE AND GLENVIEW, BUT SOMEHOW IS STILL BUILDING HOMES. TRY TO AVOID THEM.

THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS ATTENTION. CALL EARLY AND OFTEN. QUALITY IS GOOD, BUT FOLLOW UP IS TERRIBLE.
