Schoeman Construction

The whole project went extremely well. My Schoeman is a real professional who knows his work. The plan and the product were both very well executed. The workmanship was very professional.

We met with Hennie Schoeman who not only listened to our ideas, but who also had some great ideas of his own which we adopted. Hennie's two sons let the work crew. They are two wonderful young men who are extremely polite and respectful. They cleaned up after each days work so we could continue living in the house. They were always timely. The work was done in a professional manner. We had two issues with Delta faucets that were discovered to be defective. Hennie had a representative from Delta come to inspect and had the faucets replaced. They company is one hundred percent reliable and they stand behind their work. The bathroom and fireplace they rebuild are outstanding. Upon completion of our work, our daughter hired them to do a complete renovation of her master bathroom. I would use them again and have done so and would highly recommend them to others.

Hennie & company showed up as promised at the exact promised date and time. Demolition of the old kitchen (walls, cabinets, old tiles, carpeting, etc.) was completed very quickly. Care was taken to place plastic dropcloths to lessen the dust from the demolition. Clean-up was very good as it was at the end of each day during the reconstruction. Hennie recommended the tile and granite companies, which were very easy to work with as well as being very helpful with our selections. Before the start of the entire process, we selected the style and color of the cabinets with the suggested layouts regarding the most functional placing of drawers and cabinets as well as a perfect island layout. The final results are beautiful and rich in color. Hennie Jr. did a fantastic job managing the day-to-day details and kept constant contact with us throughout the project. He also installed all of the tiles and the backsplash tiles. The results are amazing, and we are extremely happy with the new look! The additional attention to detail was great, such as suggesting we use leftover marble for new window sills, which looks so great, and they trimmed the vertical blinds to fit with the new sills. All the appliances were installed without any issues. Hennie also helped us order additional floor tile, with delivery, so they can install it later this year to match our new kitchen floor tile. Couldn't have asked for a better experience from beginning to end as they were extremely professional, trustworthy and skilled.

Estimate: First, I met the elder Mr. Schoeman for a quote for repairs/ remodel to our master bath vanity area. They also gave us a quote for other projects we were interested in doing at some other time. There was never any pressure to do more than what we asked. We had other people give us quotes, as well, and this quote was the highest. However, looking over their portfolio, testimonials and our initial experience with the owner, made us feel they were the best choice. Visits for picking materials: Mr. Schoeman met with us about the cabinet options in our price range. He was very attentive and patient with my indecision of color and helped us match something like our furniture. We picked up the tile we wanted from HD and the faucets and light fixtures. This gave us the time we needed to choose what we wanted without the pressure of someone hovering and on our time schedule, which was really great for us. Another gentleman came form their granite contractor to pick out the granite and the sink design/ color. He was also very professional and kind. He was unable to make the first scheduled appointment and called 15 minutes before to let me know of the conflict. He rescheduled for the next day and was on time. My husband and I both wanted different things so, we went back and forth about this, as well. A week later- the day I was told they were to cut the granite i called last minute to change! I felt terrible but this was an expensive decision and we only would get this one shot. The man was very understanding and switched the granite choice -luckily- just before they were to cut it. Once the job began: They were punctual and very attentive. The gentleman who did our work was very deferring to any request and made sure he didn't damage or dirty our floors. Everyday he came and when we got home from work, it was like he was never there (except more was done on the job)! Anyone who has had to live with a remodel knows how important this is to your frame of mind. remodeling can be stressful and this was as smooth as it could have been. Overall: The job was done on time and well within budget. The price was the highest but I really felt that -by comparison- we were given the most for our money and have a beautiful vanity and floor to show for it that will improve the value of our home. Also, there was constant communication from start to finish. He let me know how things were going every step of the way (when he ordered the cabinets, when they came in and how they looked, when the granite person would be by, a follow up call to be sure it was ok the granite guy couldn't make it, after I met with the granite guy to be sure I was happy with the experience... every every step). Mr. Schoeman has been more than your average contractor. He shows a genuine interest in you and your family from start to finish, often asking about my children, relatives and even putting up with my crazy English Bulldog with ease and a smile. You have a lot of choices... but honestly, you won't find a better contractor out there. We plan to use him again when we are ready for the other projects in our home. In the end, we are very pleased. You will be, too.

Hennie was on time efficient and very nice. His estimate was in line with others I got. We chose yo use another because we added to the scope of the work that could not be provided by Hennie.

We did not use this provider because quote was to high. Also this provider was not responsive to my ideas.

From the initial consultation, to the demo, to the cabinet and granite install, to the final painting, the renovations to my kitchen and bathrooms were perfect in every way. All craftsman were courteous, trustworthy, detailed and professional in every execution. Absolutely would call Schoeman Enterprises again for other projects.

Everything happened on schedule. Hennie coordinated everything - all I had to do was pick out what I wanted. The guys who did the tear-down were tidy and when they found construction issues that needed attention, they let me and the other guys know. Abel (Hennie's son) and Almir did most of the work leading up to the cabinet and tile installation and took really good care of those construction issues. The cabinets went in nicely and look great. I had asked the cabinet guys to build a matching free-standing little shelf stand, and that came out beautifully. Rob, the man who works with the granite, is very skilled and the granite looks great! When he has to put in a seam, you have to really look for it to find it. The tile, along with the new drywall behind it, was installed by Almir, Abel, and Hennie's other son Hennie Jr. They were excited to work with my tile design and encouraged whatever creative ideas I had. When they needed to tell me that an idea may not or would not work well, they were very tactful in telling me that. The tile work came out exactly as I imagined. Hennie handled scheduling the shower door guy to come out and measure the space and then put in the custom shower door. This is a family business, and they treated my home like they would treat their own home. Any mistakes that were made were minor and were fixed promptly. Hennie told me to call anytime if I ever find anything that doesn't look right, and they will take care of it. Regarding pricing, I payed them more than I would have payed another company that did an estimate, but this other company did not have nearly the same number of choices. Overall, I think they charge a fair price for what they do and what they offer. There were no surprises on the bill. They were very friendly and sociable. Hennie Jr taught me how to solve a rubix cube, and now I'm teaching my 6y/o daughter, who was little upset that when the job was over they weren't going to be coming back.

Hennie made several visits to our home during the planning and design process. I had very specific ideas and he and his cabinet maker worked to make sure that I got exactly what I wanted. Though the start date was pushed back a week, after that everything went very smoothly. I spoke with Hennie almost daily and he was quick to respond with a call or visit if I had a question or concern. Believe it or not the project finished a few days early and a little bit under budget. He made sure that all of the work done was precisely as I wanted it even if it meant last minute changes. I have an amazing kitchen thanks to Hennie and his family.

The job went extremely well. We had to schedule pretty far in advance because he is a small, generally family business, quite popular and booked up (for good reason). I interviewed three other contractors but none clicked like Hennie. We came in with a pretty good idea about what we wanted to do. Hennie offered many suggestions and improvements to our original thoughts. He worked very well with us on selection of faucets and tile. His sons do outstanding work. They quickly followed up on some minor paint drips left by the painter. They worked well with our interior designer. The work took a fair amount of time but was very much in line with what he said. They did a good job of cleaning up inside the house every day. Also, he and his sons are very trustworthy and we had no hesitation in giving him a key to the house while we were at work. Hennie is not the cheapest contractor out there - and in fact was the most expensive of the people I seriously considered, but you get what you pay for. The work was outstanding; the communication throughout the project was very good and they were always did what they said they would do and were here when they promised. Overall, I was so pleased that just had him out to look at our remaining two bathrooms!

Great job, very pleased with the workmanship

I live in Houston,Tx, but the work was done in my home in Tampa, FL. I was therefore reluctant in finding a reputable, honest contractor who would perform a thorough job. I found Hennie Schoemann on Angies list and I must say I was very impressed with his services. Hennie was quick in responding to my needs, was able to give me some suggestions as to cutting costs without compromising quality. He was honest. Workmanship was of the highest quality! Services were completed in a timely manner. The staff was professional, flexible and always on time! I would highly reccomend the Scheomann Team!

OVERALL: under promised, OVER DELIVERED every step of the way. Work to be performed was complete retile of stand up shower enclosure (no tub) remove framed enclosure, and install glass frameless enclosure. Initially contacted company on phone in October, Hennie advised he would most likely not be able to start a new job until December/January time frame. We scheduled estimate, Hennie called ahead and asked if it would be ok if he arrived 30 minutes early. Hennie came out, and a couple days later he emailed me a detailed quote. Work was scheduled to begin on Jan 14. I received a call the week before to ask if they could start on the 10th. Of Course! Chris did all the tile work. He was very respectful of our home, and keeping the work area clean and neat as possible. Despite how small our job was, he seemed genuinely interested in every detail, and even offered suggestions & asked for our input throughout the process. Hennie's son Abel did the fixtures. In addition to the work that was requested, we also had a water pressure issue in our house. Abel took apart all of the faucets in our house, in our helped us identify what the problem was. This was outside the scope of the work we requested, and Abel seemed genuinely concerned in identifying the issue, and solving our problem. Tile work was finished on the 21st. Hennie advised it would take up to 2 weeks for enclosure to arrive. Enclosure was installed, and work was completed on January 29th. So only 1 week later. I thought the $6909 seemed like a high price to pay for this job, but a significant part of that was made up of the custom glass frameless enclosure. Hennie suggested a tiered % payment plan, where we paid as the work was performed, and we didn't have to send final payment until after the work was completed. I did get cheaper quotes for this job, but I am confident that If I would I have selected one of those businesses, the work would not have been completed as smoothly as with Schoeman. I will do business with Schoeman again, and have already referred them to friends.

As stated above, all went extremely well and we are completely satisfied with the work performed by hennie Schoeman and sons.

We met with Hennie and were instantly impressed with his knowledge and experience. He gave us a book of his past jobs and several references, who were more than willing to allow us to come to their homes to look at his work. Each one we looked at was exceptional and the homeowners were effusive in their praise. One told us she really did extensive research on him and came up with only good things. We met with him several times and when we had detailed drawings and the contract in hand we gave him a deposit and agreed to the draw schedule. At that point he ordered the cabinets and when a delivery date was scheduled, he began removing the old kitchen based on their delivery date. Hennie actually removed and saved the old cabinetry for donation to a church that was building a home for a needy family. Unfortunately, the cabinet company did not complete the order as expected and we had no kitchen to use for an extra week. But we had decided to start knowing about the delay so he could take out and begin installation of the new floor. The rest went relatively smoothly because he always had the right crew members available to do their part on the kitchen. The end result was spectacular and everything my wife was wanting in her dream kitchen.

Outstanding experience. Hennie is genuine and stands by his quote even if a small detail comes up that was unforeseen. Hennie and his team did were professional from start to finish. They did all the virtual design work communication was excellent throughout the project and time line was met. We are considering a major bathroom remodel next year and would not think of using anyone else. Our kitchen was built in 1992 and was very dated and worn out. Hennie and his team brought it into the 21st century and increased our storage space. We could not be happier.

Hennie provided my with an estimate and we scheduled a date to begin the project. His son, Abel, did the bulk of the actual work with some assistance from subcontractors. They were prompt, professional and exhibited the skill of master craftsmen. They kept me well informed of the progress and what to expect in the upcoming days. I would recommend them to anyone and will use them again when it comes time to remodel the bathrooms!

Hennie was prompt and punctual at our meeting. Very friendly and professional! Talked about out options and was able to work with our budget. He sent his estimate via email within a good time frame. We ended up going with a contractor friend of a friend, but with his professional manner, experience and fantastic estimate price, I wouldn't hesitate to call and use his services in the future.

Hennie did a great job. Kitchen turned out even better than we hoped for.

It was a great experience working with Hennie and Almir the installer - they were punctual, courteous, honest and professional. We were shown everything that was being done each step of the way and the quality of the work was outstanding. Hennie was a great resource on where to go find tile. The estimate that we were given was spot on and even though there were a few unexpected surprises, the cost was not deflected to us. They stayed both on budget and schedule and we highly recommend their services!

They were absolutely fantastic. The workmanship and follow up was superb. They made our modeling project a delight!

He communicates well. He responds to emails and phone calls in a reasonable amount of time. He sticks to his quote. The time frame he gave me was pretty accurate. He personally comes to the project site to make sure the work is done right.

Hennie came out and gave us a quote, very detailed and we were able to remove anything we decided was not needed (and he recommended a good tile store to pick out tiles from). We decided to pick up most of the supplies that they needed to re-do our shower from the ground up. They were not the cheapest but no doubt were well worth the money. They were on time everyday, were able to work around our schedule, and were very trustworthy. We felt no worries about leaving them at the house alone. They cleaned up everyday and were pleasant people to have in our home. The work they did was fabulous. The shower looks wonderful and we are already planning another bathroom to be re-done and the kitchen eventually also. They finished the job a day early and remained on budget with their estimate. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to do bathroom renovations!!

Schoeman Enterprises did a beautiful job from start to finish! Of the various estimates, they were the most responsive, rapid, and flexible and also came in with a competitive price. Hennie is an absolute pleasure to work with - courteous, knowledgeable, communicative, and a highly effective planner and manager of a complex process. They have long-standing relationships with each of the various workers - electrician, cabinet maker, painter, etc., and good communication about the sequencing of the work. The timetable and price were followed exactly, the quality of the work was excellent, and the process was made as painless as possible. For example, we had the demolition done the week we went on vacation and were able to come back to a very tidy, empty shell. Every day there was clean-up after their work so that the rest of the house remained liveable. Hennie and/or Abel (who directly managed our project) called us or was on-site every day to keep track of what was happening and to be available to answer questions. Every worker was pleasant and courteous. We had a few special items that we wanted - a special cabinet behind the sink, some display boxes and changes to the pantry. Of the various people I spoke to, Hennie was most able to understand the request accurately and devise a satisfying solution. He was always accomodating. Even in cases where the solution required ingenuity or there was a need to re-work a minor element of the plan, they were able to achieve the desired result. I was very impressed with how every item (both those specified at the onset and those which were added as the process went along) was checked off the list satisfactorily. An added bonus for us is that we have had some additional work done by some of his people (the painter and glass door folks) and have Schoeman Enterprises to thank for the good referral. People comment positively on the finished job all the time. We've already referred a friend of ours to them and my friend reports Hennie is doing a beautiful job with her kitchen and baths, too! My overall recommendation is that these folks are fantastic - if you have the chance, hire them!

Work began Jan. 10, 2011 and one bathroom was worked on at a time. This helped with the convenience factor! Everyone involved worked very hard to keep in communication with us and whenever someone might be late, we got a call. We had one workman in the house the whole time and he was very careful to keep his work space tidy at the end of the day. We were very happy with the level of craftsmanship shown. Remodeling can be a stressful experience, but I must say Hennie and crew did a great job working with us and giving us new bathrooms we are very happy to call ours!
