I don't usually take time to post reviews but had to share the before and after photos along with the amazing experience that we had working with Schafer Woodworking to remodel our living room space. Keith and Nick were professional from the start, offering up ideas, and walking us through the process. They understood our vision and took time to confirm small details including having us select our beam, customizing our stain color, and going over all of the trim work details.
They confirmed measurements after the fireplace was moved to the center of the opening and communicated with our other contractors throughout the process. Their install team was efficient, clean, and very helpful. They went the extra mile by reinstalling our trim and heating register along with filling holes left in the flooring by the previous hearth. The price was reasonable for the scope of work and the quality of product used. We cannot recommend Schafer Woodworking more - we will definitely call them in the future for any custom project.

We have lived in our house for nearly 25 years. This year we pulled the trigger and made the decision to remodel our kitchen. After reading many reviews and meeting with several contractors, we went with Schafer Woodworking. Best decision ever! We are absolutely thrilled with the results and can't say enough about this talented group and their quality craftsmanship! They did an amazing job and can't thank them enough! Loved working with everyone we talked with at Schafer! Definitely will use them again in the future!

My wife and I decided after much debate on if we wanted to sell our home and build new or remodel. We decided to remodel and started with the kitchen. We worked with Schafer Woodworking and it was a great experience. Our kitchen turned out awesome! We worked closely with Keith on some unique features like the rack storage above the oven. Every step of the way, was great. They also supplied us with our new interior doors and trim and a great built-in. Thank you Keith and the team at Schafer Woodworking!

We purchased an older house that needed extensive remodeling to include a new kitchen, all new trim, new doors, bathroom and mud room cabinets. Schafer Woodworking was fantastic to work with from start to finish. They listened to what we wanted and provided great thoughts / ideas which improved the layout of the kitchen. We also loved the creative approach to trim all the windows, plus the added custom barn doors. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. Thank you, Schafer Woodworking, for helping make our house our home.
