About us

Welcome to Scheftel Construction! Scheftel Construction is a small but full-service construction company located in south Minneapolis. We provide skilled craftsmanship and reliable service for projects ranging from home repair and remodeling to commercial projects. We specialize in vintage home maintenance and remodeling. Whether you want to create an addition or a deck, remodel a bathroom or a kitchen, or need help with outdoor trim or roof repairs, patching a ceiling, or any of those many things that always need fixing in an older house, we can help you. Our wood shop can create custom woodworking and millwork to match your existing trim and woodwork, and our portable sawmill provides custom-cut local wood ā€” wood from the urban forest ā€” that can be used for trim, custom built-ins, wooden counters, furniture and other special projects. Wood from the urban forest means lumber sawn from trees in the metro area that are dead or have been downed by storms, or trees that have been cut by tree services ā€” wood that might otherwise go to waste or be chipped or sold for firewood. There is an amazing variety of wood growing in and around the Twin Cities. In addition to standbys like red oak, white oak and ash, we offer unusual ā€” and more dramatic ā€” woods, like black walnut, red elm, cherry, honey locust, spalted maple, clear spruce and more. Thank you for considering Scheftel Construction and we look forward to impressing you!

I wanted a fancy railing so he had to do some fine carpentry. Work was bid, highly competent and professional - personable. Would recommend. Barbara Steinberg

I was very pleased with the responsiveness and results. Steve was the only contractor to have the courtesy to call me back for this small job (less than a day). He came up with a design for the bracket which was both functional and decorative. He was able to come on site just a few weeks after giving me the estimate.

The first time we hired Scheftel, the owner came himself and re-plastered two spots on ceilings with water damage. He responded quickly and did a nice job, so we hired Scheftel again to do a few things in our kitchen. This time an employee came and told us he couldn't do what we wanted (remove some chair rails and a section of baseboard that had been painted) because he could never match the wood. (Actually, available at Menard's.) Guess it was just too small a job. He did a couple other small things and left two unsatisfied customers.

Good job doing the drywall, had to come out again and send a different person as screws popped and didn't mud and smooth terribly well.

I called Angies List and they said I would have a 149.00 credit to my account to be used on something else. I am currently trying to apply that amount to some plumbing work. I would never recommend this guy. He has a serious problem - may do very good work when he's straight. But twice he was not sober for me.

Everything went fine from my end - I don't know about the carpenter. Actually I did ask Steve to send his guy back out to replace 1 more piece of wood I thought was a little mushy. He came out and replaced the board I sent a check. I have used Steve Scheftel 2 other times. this was the only time I asked him to come back and redo something. He did it no questions asked - no additional billing. I believe the mark of a good company is how they handle a customer complaint. I will call Steve again - with reservation.

I have an older home and the front porch was sinking since it was just sitting on bricks. The company installed timber supports sunk to the correct depth reinforced the frame and redid the floor joists. Excellent work, very professional and most importantly they new what they were doing.

It looked very good at first, but when it was time to paint I noticed that areas were uneven and sanding was incomplete.

I wasn't contacted for three weeks after paying for the offer, so I called to follow-up. Calls were returned promptly and we scheduled within a week of contact. Work completed uninterrupted and mostly as expected. Sanding could not be fully completed as material was not completely dry.

Talked to Steve Scheftel and had the work scheduled within 1 week of signing up for it. Steve had Jane come out to do the work. She was friendly, professional, fast working, and knew what she was doing. She also offered several tips about finishing the project to save a little money. The project was done within the two hours, no additional charge. Would definitely request her, and/or call Scheftel again.

It went very well. They covered up the TV with a plastic sheet and went to work applying the numerous plaster/drywall coats over the patch, flattening the final layer again and again to get it just right when an imperfection arose from materials. Very well done.
