HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS “Strangers have come up to us to say how nicely the addition blends in with the rest of the house and it truly looks like it was there all along. Our friends and family have been very impressed with the inside and it has definitely lived up to what we had envisioned.” — Kristin & Steve “Lilla and I are so grateful for our home. Solid, well built, and full of light. We absolutely love it. No exaggeration. So, hats off to you and your crew. Thanks again for creating with us the space we dreamed of.” — Dan O & Lilla “We have been working with Steve and Emily for almost 2 years. We started by purchasing a lot in a development that Schmidt Construction was building. From the start Steve and Emily were very responsive and helpful with the design of our custom dream home. They both answered texts and phone calls within minutes and always had the answers we needed. I am in construction myself, I know that things can go wrong sometimes, but I can honestly say that nothing did. Timelines were right on track, if there was a change in price everything was discussed before hand, if we wanted something changed it was changed. If you are building a home or remodeling your home, it would be a good idea to call Schmidt. Highly recommend!” — Cole Q. “Working with Schmidt Construction was a pleasure. Their designer gave us several options based on our conversation and we absolutely love our new kitchen. As with any project various issues arose and every time the project manager handled them perfectly. Every detail was handled as though it was his home and the outcome shows it. We would highly recommend Schmidt Construction!” — V. Lorang “They were helpful, efficient and courteous!” — Nancy R. “We want to thank you for making a dream come true for us in building our home. Ever since you remodeled our other house, we wanted a ‘Schmidt Home.’ Although we said it before, it bears repeating – integrity and quality are your hallmark and we wouldn’t have anyone else build for us. Thanks again to all of you for a great home.” — Rick & Jane N. “We want to thank you for the very fine job you and your men have given us…We feel very fortunate to have you do our work.” — Dick & Irene H. “Thank you guys and gals at Schmidt Construction for my beautiful remodeled home. It is greatly appreciated.” — Ellie S. “We bought a farm house, which was built in the late 1800’s. We knew we needed a firm that could deal with any surprises that might come up during construction. We had the best experience with Schmidt Homes. All of the subcontractors were professional and friendly and cleaned up after themselves. The job came in under budget and on time. The designer, Emily, gave us good direction and we love the results. We would highly recommend Schmidt Homes Remodeling.” — M. Wiechmann “This was a custom house design originated by owners, and the building site was challenging to say the least. Steve, Emily, and Schmidt Construction did a great job translating the ideas of owners into a workable blueprint, and were very creative in solving difficulties along the way. Both Steve and Emily listen very well to potential builders. While the project bid was slightly higher that we had hoped, we were willing to pay this to get the level of expertise we needed and the quality of build we wanted. AND Schmidt Construction stayed within the estimate! Steve has great attention to detail and made sure subs provided highest quality of work. Project ALMOST finished on time; delays largely due to weather and resultant compromised site access. Great group of people to work with and very professional. We are exceedingly pleased with the completed home. Thanks!” — Eric & Billie B. “I can’t say enough good things about Steve Schmidt Construction. Our custom home was finished ahead of schedule and under budget! The communication was outstanding; our questions were answered very promptly. Steve worked to seek out solutions to try to give us everything we wanted in our new home. Emily was amazing at changing the floorplan, laying out the cabinets and helping with design decisions. This was the third house that we have built, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Even after living in the house for over a year, our questions are still answered in a timely manner. I’ve been extremely well satisfied and would highly recommend Steve Schmidt Construction.” — Alice C. “Schmidt Homes Remodeling completed a large renovation on a 1886 farmhouse for a client of ours. From the very first meeting we were extremely impressed with Schmidt Homes high level of detail, prompt manner and detailed bid. The attention to detail and pride that Schmidt Homes take in their work is apparent in everything they do. They are thoughtful, meticulous and a true pleasure to work with! We would highly recommend them!” — Fluidesign Studio “We recently worked with Schmidt Homes on a full kitchen remodel and could not be happier with the result. They were very responsive and detail oriented. Also, their design services educated us on innovative approaches which were new to us but fit within our budget. We would highly recommend them and plan to use them for future projects.” — Matt M. “Your crew who installed the wall and door were top notch professionals! So kind, helpful, and cleaned up after themselves so well.” — Christine H. “After debating for 5 years about whether to build a “senior friendly” (wide doors and all necessities on the main floor) new home, we finally decided building was the best option as we near retirement. We had rented a beautiful home with a loft when we were on a vacation trip out West, and wanted our “dream home” patterned after that vacation home. We found a floor plan on a website that was similar to what we were looking for, and contacted several home builders to ask if they were able and interested in building this home for us. After meeting with each builder, reading reviews and talking to friends connected to the building trade, we chose Schmidt Homes to build our new house. Steve Schmidt is very patient, detailed and comprehensive in explaining cost, options, what to expect, and how many times we will meet to finalize decisions. This was our first (and probably only) new construction house, so we had a lot to learn. After we tweaked the floor plan, Steve sent it to his architect for the complete plan, and excavation was ready to begin. The Schmidt team started moving dirt in early December, and the final inspection and our final walk-thru was in early June – pretty much right on schedule! The four qualities that were important to us in the building of our home include: quality of products & workmanship; design that reflects our rural MN prairie site; functionality of all aspects of our home; and of course, staying within the budget we outlined. Steve and his team asked the questions to really understand who we are and what we wanted in our new home – and ensured that our new home reflected our needs and preferences. Steve, Emily, Sara and the Schmidt team were good communicators, keeping us informed on progress, and also on when we needed to make selection decisions on siding, lighting, plumbing, countertops, etc. They were detail-oriented, ensuring everything would look like it was designed to fit together. Did everything come together without a single problem? Of course not. In our experience, even a holiday dinner usually has an issue or two, so obviously a project with the magnitude of building a new house will have a few problems arise. Similar to working at a large company, you always want to have people with problem-solving skills on your team. And Steve, Emily (Designer), and the team are problem-solvers – if they don’t have the answer, they reach out to colleagues with specific expertise and get the answer. We love our new home. We get many compliments – and we expect that friends will politely say nice things. It really amazed me when a UPS delivery driver stopped recently, rang the doorbell as he dropped off our package, and quickly headed back to his truck. I opened our door, and called out a “thank you”. Even in his haste, the driver spun around and called back, “You have a beautiful home!” That warmed my heart. Thank you to Schmidt Homes!” — M.
