Schmidt Construction

Repaired my concrete and did a great job! Thank you

This company provided excellent and professional service I had a bunch of rail road ties that needed to be removed from my old retaining wall they were falling apart and they came in and put a beautiful stone retaining wall fantastic work if I could give them a sixth star I would

They did a great job on our retaining wall and patio

Great place to do business with

Worked with them for a small project lining a walkway with timbers. Great to work with.

Mikiel is a great communicator and easy to work with. I have purchased timbers from him twice. Both transactions were fantastic.

Wow!! Mike, and Andrew and his crew, did a fabulous job on our retaining wall. It was done for a fair price and completed in a short time. We are extremely happy on how it turned out. They were very knowledgeable and listened to what we wanted and it showed when they were all done. Very very happy!!

Mike Schmidt and his team delivered a great kitchen and it wasn't easy to make our small 1940s kitchen an efficient clean and beautiful room. Mike Schmidt really is a talent and he went the extra mile solving any and all issues regarding the job. We chose a clean modern cabinet but i wanted to keep open glass doors on one side of the upper cabinets. Mike searched for a glass door that we wanted and matched the glossy finish perfectly which required some real effort. He also was great at seeing our vision and giving us choices while also being open about what in his experience will work and meet our expectations. The kitchen is fantastic and i am so impressed with the level of detail. Everything is straight and level which wasn't the case in our old kitchen prior to the renovation. We stayed on budget and his team was hardworking and professional. The whole thing took 2 to 3 weeks. Mr. Schmidt was on site daily to look at the progress and keep us aware of what was happening. We love our kitchen and were so lucky to have found Schmidt construction. Talented. professional, and honest. He made us feel important and got the job done right. Thank You

I had a great experience with Mike and his team. My husband and I had never done a big remodel before and Mike held our hands every step of the way. The kitchen was completely gutted and I could not be happier with the work that he did. Everything came out even better than anticipated and on budget too! It took about a week longer than expected, but only because the team was determined to get every last detail perfect.

Mike Schmidt and his crew were awesome to work with and they did a wonderful job making my kitchen ideas come to life. My house was built in 1953 and has never had any updating to speak of in the kitchen. When Mike came to my house to give me a bid, he was such an upbeat, positive person. He listened to all my ideas and always made me feel like my ideas had value. When they encountered hurdles, because my house is old, they would discuss the challenge with me in full, and brainstorm ideas with me of how to still make my ideas happen-in a way that would work. It was so helpful having them there brainstorming with me, like they could see into my head at what I was dreaming of. They truly worked on this job like it was their own house and project. Mike is a positive person and super easy to talk to. I don't think Mike every had a bad day. He seems to love life, the work he does, and customers he serves. Joe and Rick both have such expertise on the job. They quite obviously have had a lot of experience because everything they worked on turned out to be quality work. I have already recommended Mike, Joe, and Rick to a few of my friends who have been VERY happy with the work, and with the great referral. I will continue to use Schmidt Construction myself any time I need work done, and continue to recommend Schmidt Construction to my friends. I smile a big smile every time I walk into my new, beautiful IKEA Kitchen!! <ul> <li><p>Services Performed: <strong>Yes</strong></p> </li> </ul> <br> <br>

This review is woefully overdue.  Mike and his crew are the best!!  Joe and Rick have become like family.  I work from home, and my husband is retired, so we are around the house all day.  We have witnessed nothing but respectful, professional behavior and top-notch work.  Everyone is so easy to communicate with, and we have always been able to problem solve as needed.  You never know what you're going to find when you start tearing into an old house, and each challenge has been handled successfully and to our satisfaction.  I have always had strong opinions about what I think I want, but, I have to say, sometimes the guys have even better ideas.  I respect their experience and trust their judgment.  As a homeowner for 30+ years, I can say without hesitation that this is the best contractor and team I have ever worked with.  I would never think of hiring anyone else. 

Ran into difficulties not caused by the contractor.  This left the project unfinished for sometime and then it was hard to get them back to finish the project.  However, the quality of the finished project was completed as was agreed and specified. <br />

Footnotes if TLDR. Charged $10K for a ?top end custom bathroom?. Supposed to take a week, took almost two months, only worked 2 hours a day, if they bothered to show up at all. None of the walls are square and the floor isn?t level. Sloppy carpentry, ?sloppy tile, grout cracking and falling out, joints don?t meet. Did over $5k in damage to my house. Still waiting for a full refund of my $6000. Trying to charge the remaining $4000 for the original quote despite the act that the entire bathroom needs to be stripped back down to the frame. Also tried to tag on approximately $2000 in ?change requests?. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! This entire project was ?nightmare.? Tub was originally supposed to be completely refinished. Then Mike said they couldn't do a complete refinish but would fix the porcelain around the drain holes. Never completed the work. Tried to cover it up with plumbers putty and caulk. Reminded several times to retain the original hardwood moldings. They did not. Mike told me twice during the job that they had them all. Then when it was time to put them on they were gone. Mike refused to replace them with equivalent hardwood moldings, replacing them with bargain store pine and tried to stain to match the remaining doors and window frame. Trim is a splotchy disgusting mess that looks nothing like the existing wood. Got stain on brand new vanity $800.? The bathroom was torn down to the frame, but they made no attempt to plumb or square the reconstruction. The moldings sit approximately 3/8? away from the wall at the corners. I pointed this out andI was assured that it was in fact square and when it was finished that it would be fine. Later, after pressing the workers and Mike, they were totally aware that nothing was plumb or square and didn't fix it to save time assuming I wouldn?t notice when finished.? ?Mike claimed the tile guy was ?the best in Omaha". Tile looks like it was done by someone who didn?t watch enough youtube videos. The grout lines are completely uneven. Varying from 1/4? to 0? top to bottom. Grout started cracking within days. None of the tiles are cut squarely or cleanly, cut faces are out of square and jagged.chewed. All the holes for the fixtures were cut with wood hole saws, leaving an even worse chipped and generally destroyed appearance.? The walls were all supposed to be wainscoted, instead they were beadborded. But by this point I just wanted them out of my house so I go. They overcoat and mangled all the corner cuts, then to cover up the sloppy work they built the window and door moldings over the top of the mangled beadboard. So none of the door or window molding sit flat to the wall. I said that this all needed to be done over correctly, refused, solution a tube of caulk.? The back wall behind the vanity is so crooked the crown molding won?t sit flush despite a nail every inch. Refused fix, solution, a tube of caulk.? They didn?t measure the outlet locations correctly. They were measured out for a frameless door, not 3? frames. So the switch is up against the door frame. Then when they caulked the door (not flat against wall) they didn't remove the switch surround. So the caulk stops and you can see into the wall around the switch outlet.? The floor under the toilet isn?t level. Another tube of caulk to try to hide it. But couldn?t be bothered to caulk all the way around the toilet, left the back undone. The floor tiles aren't set right and poke you in the feet it you are barefoot, the baseboards don't meet the floor, the floor isn?t level, door frames don?t go to floor, wall so crooked the vanity nor the medicine cabinet will sit flush against it, solution for everything, bright white caulk despite the fact that all the grout is grey. Supposed to install a moisture sensing automatic fan, vented to the exterior of house. Instead installed a cheap combination ceiling light/fan, without approving the swap. They said that they routed it to a roof vent. Just another lie. It?s vented straight into my attic. My attic has an exposed brick fireplace in it. Once it got cold, the moisture condensed on the fireplace and ran down inside the wall destroying plaster in my office. $2500 repair.? The workers put their foot through the kitchen ceiling when redoing the bathroom floor joists, the patch job they did is laughably bad and they refuse to redo it. $800 repair. The workers busted the water main shutoff when they cut the water to do the plumbing, refused to own up to it, cost $135 to fix.? Busted the backyard water spigot when using my hose to cut tile. This dumped water into my electrical box flooding it. Put a new washer in the spigot, refused to do anything about the electrical box $1035 to fix.? They used my front porch to store material and cut wood. Busted out the ends of two boards in the porch and then rigged them back in place so I wouldn?t notice until after they cleared out. $1200 repair.? I have waited for 4 months for my full refund of the $6000 down payment. ? Mike swears "No-one in Omaha could possibly deliver more. You judge.

It was fine.  The crew was very professional and the job was done in a prompt manner as it was promised.  I would use them again for any kind of brick laying that I would need in the future. <br />

Quit reading and call Mike - he'll do you right.? The price was competitive - no dickering needed.? The quality of the work was outstanding - any issues were promptly addressed and resolved.? The team was more than just responsive, they were proactive about potential issues and making suggestions that turned out wonderful.

GREAT <br />

<p>A huge improvement.</p> <br />

Mike and his crew were great!  When the weather cleared, they built a solid wooden 90 degree angle retaining wall rising from over 6 foot in the corner, and flowing down and following the terrain for 45 feet in both directions.  They anchored it well, and filled the cavity with gravel to allow good drainage.  The wall isn't going anywhere!  It took a little over 2 days to complete, but the quality was outstanding.  I wouldn't hesitate using Schmidt Construction again. <br />

UPDATE: Our project has been completed and the work is excellent! A crew of 6-8 guys worked for about 10 days (due to some heavy rains) and were able to tear out the mess that was our backyard and rebuilt a 4.5 foot tie wall. It looks beautiful! Mike and the crew had to access the wall through our neighbors' backyard. The crew was very respectful and communicated well with the neighbors. As the wall is holding up our property we don't get the benefit of viewing the new wall, but our neighbors are extremely happy with the finished product as are we. People in the neighborhood have inquired about the builder as it looks so good! Schmidt construction built the wall with good drainage, a couple of feet of compacted fill rock, and pre-treated wood. We did have to increase the height of the wall from the original 3 foot on the bid to 4.5 feet to accommodate the slope of our yard. Mike was very thoughtful when talking with us about the adjustment. It did not come as a surprise to us because other companies had bid a 4 foot wall so we knew it might need to be higher. We appreciated that Mike was not trying to up-sell us, but was trying to give us the best final result. We are on a tight budget for the remodeling that needed to take place and would not have agreed to the change order unless it was the best long term solution. The driveway had several concrete slabs jacked up and completely redone. The new areas look wonderful and our drainage issues have been resolved! Perfect! We have called on Schmidt Construction for other needs around the house as we have been tackling our fixer upper. I stand by my original posting that Mike is a great guy who will do right by you! <br /> <br />ORIGINAL POST:My husband and I really enjoyed Mike when he came over to give us the bid for our work. He was very kind, honest and had a good balance of connecting with us on a personal level while staying focused on the job at hand.  I appreciated his opinion on what needed to be replaced and what was in good current condition.  It would be easy for a contractor to try and sell a whole new driveway, but Mike gave us honest feedback on where we needed to replace concrete slabs for proper drainage, where we could use a little mud-jacking to get the slabs more level, and what was in good condition. His bid for the retaining wall came in at a fair price for the extent of the work. His bid was the first and the best one we received. Mike suggested we get several bids, talk to other contractors, and get back to him if we chose to go with his company. Good advice from a good man. We are curently awaiting to be scheduled to have the work performed.  I will update my review in a couple of weeks (late October) when the work has been completed to give feedback on the quality of work and our experience once our property is being ripped up and put back together. <br /> <br />

It was good. The price was reasonable and they did a good job.

Everything went well, any issues with the job were communicated to us by Mike and we were able to ask any questions without any issues.

We immediately liked Mike Schmidt when we met him for the <br /> first time when he came to our house to talk to us on how we wanted to remodel <br /> our kitchen and give an estimate.  Mike is a positive person who is a <br /> great listener, very approachable, easy to talk to and always in a great <br /> mood.  I can not emphasize enough what a great listener he was to our <br /> ideas for our kitchen. Other contractors we had contacted before Mike for <br /> estimates had said they only do this option or this option and that was it and <br /> would not listen to our ideas and were rude.  My wife had very specific <br /> ideas of things she wanted in the new kitchen along with several custom made <br /> things that would be unique in our kitchen.  Mike was always polite and <br /> said Joe and his crew could do all of those things.  He wrote down all of <br /> her ideas.  My wife also gave him a photograph of an industrial type steel <br /> railing she saw on Pinterest and wanted that railing custom made along with a <br /> gate to match to stop our grandchild from going downstairs and also for our <br /> dogs. She also wanted a feature wall where the entire wall would have old <br /> barnwood on it and a custom made pantry screen door with old barn wood on it <br /> also. Joe built and installed all these things.  Mike would bring pieces <br /> of barn wood to see what we thought of it and sent pictures of wood.  Mike <br /> and Joe always asked and listened to my wife's ideas and made great suggestions <br /> too on things that sounded like what she was looking for. Mike always answers <br /> his phone and is very willing to answer questions. <br /> Joe takes great pride in his work and everything he works with turns out <br /> awesome.  He also is a great listener and is in a great mood.  Mike <br /> and Joe and crew were always on time and did a great job of cleaning before <br /> they left each day.  We are so amazed at how beautiful the railing and <br /> gate are that Joe created, welded together and installed. <br /> Mike and Joe truly represent what a contractor should be.  They showed the <br /> following: <br /> Listens well, are in great moods, can talk to them on ideas and/or changes, <br /> friendly, creates a positive environment, enjoys their work, communicates well <br /> with talking, sending a text, answering the phone, and sending e-mails <br /> including suggestion photos and ideas, extremely hard working, great pride in <br /> their work and have a great price for remodeling. <br /> Mike is the best contractor I have ever worked with. Joe is amazing and can <br /> create and install anything the customer would like.  Joe told my wife how <br /> he was so looking forward to creating our railing and gate. Joe loves his job. <br /> This is the best contractor experience we have ever had. I have already <br /> recommended Mike and Joe to all our friends and will contact them again for any <br /> future remodeling.  <br />  Everything in our kitchen is exactly how we pictured it in our minds, We love it, <br /> are very happy and are totally satisfied!! Thank you Mike and Joe!! <br />

Mike was great to work with! We have an old house, and whenever we do anything to it, we find things we don't expect. I explained that to Mike and he did an absolutely amazing job remodeling my bath. He brought in at the bid rate even though once again we found things we did not expect! I have worked with Mike before and would recommend him he really goes above and beyond the call of duty when working for you. I have some great people I would only work with. Mike is one of those. Thanks for the lovely bathroom! It makes a huge difference!
