schwachter construction

Sam and his crew rebuilt a front chimney, which had been taken down by being beaten in on itself, on our 19th century Queen Anne Victorian. Our house has an extremely steep roof and is three stories high, making it a difficult roof to work on. It is evident that he and his entire crew are very knowledgable about their craft. Sam and his crew are very good at exterior work- masonry, roofing, trim, siding, gutter repair, and rough carpentry etc. (I have hired them since, and two of my other neighbors have also now hired him for work after seeing what they did for us.) He recreated the front chimney to exactly match the customized diamond pattern of our back chimney, ran a chimney liner down the flu to help reactivate a fireplace on the front of the house, and mounted three chimney pots on the top of it to match the architectural detail of the rest of our house and the neighborhood. The bricks that he used are an exact match to the brick on the back of the house. He has a crew of a couple of other guys that help him, but is on every project the whole time. His setup is bare bones which helps him to keep his costs down, but he takes a great deal of pride in his work. I had other estimates on this work, and his cost was by leaps and bounds the least expensive. I typically don't just take the lowest bid on a project, but I felt comfortable with him (and had a good recommendation for him from another friend he did work for) and I'm glad I did. I have used him for other work since, and he has stayed consistent with his level of quality and cost. We've had a lot of contractors work on our home in various capacities, but I'm telling people about Sam because I positively guarantee that this guy is by far the best value for any exterior work. Sam and his entire crew are also very easy to get along with and are extremely courteous. They did a good job with clean up after the job. I've been astounding- really exceedingly pleased with his overall work. AMAZING VALUE.
