Schoeman Construction

The project was done exactly within the timetable originally set. Each day any mess created was cleaned up well; including the dust from the tile demo. They created two shelves in the shower using the travertine, and a "footrest" that turned out beautifully! Hennie took the time to find and install a special second "hand held" shower fixture that I requested and the end result was perfect. The final phase of the installation of the glass wall (in place of shower doors) was done smoothly and professionally. We will use Schoeman Ent. when we are ready to redo our second bath.

These gentlemen are the utmost professionals. The demolition of the old shower went extremely smoothly (Abel was very careful to make sure nothing was tracked through the house) and went down to the studs and through the shower floor to the earth below. The excavation of the concrete was required because, as they predicted, the builder never put in a drain pan when he constructed the original shower. Breaking out the old concrete revealed that the water was seeping through the grout and concrete into the dirt below and forming mold. The mold traveled the same path in reverse up to the shower floor. The installation was exacting, and the final result was dazzling, but that's not where this good-news story ends. About 2 years later (Fall 2010), our shower drain developed an odor of sewage each time the water was running (and only while the water ran). After spending hundreds on the theories of various plumbers without success, one suggested that the weep holes in the shower drain were likely clogged. These holes are how water on the floor of the shower passes into the drain once it seeps through the grout and concrete into the drain pain and over to the drain. When I heard this, I called Hennie. He responded quickly and tried to unclog the holes via a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and vinegar that he forced into the weep holes by stopping up the drain below them. He charged nothing for the visit, and we hoped for the best. Unfortunately, it didn't work in the long run. So, Abel came over to examine the weep holes. To determine if the weep holes are clogged required excavating the drain by removing the tile in a 1' x 1.5' area around the drain and gently (to avoid piercing the drain pan) removing the concrete surrounding the drain until the holes are visible. Overall, it took more than 2 hours. Abel did a fantastic job of excavating the material around the weep holes and discovered they were not at all clogged. Again, no charge was assessed. Plus, Hennie told me that once we found and fixed the problem, they would come back and rebuild the excavated area for no charge. We did finally find a plumber who solved the problem--although he and we are unsure how he did--and Abel came back and restored the shower beautifully to the way it looked before the excavation. Although Hennie insisted no money was required for the repairs, I told him I wanted to pay him since the weep-hole theory was invalid and therefore their installation was not at fault. As you can imagine, I would eagerly recommend this company to anyone both for their highly professional workmanship and incredible ethic of customer service!

We were extremely happy with Hennie and Abel. They are complete professionals and became part of our family while they were on site. In fact, while we were glad the work was done, it was sad not interacting with them on a daily / weekly basis. We look forward to our continued friendship and future renovations. We shopped around for months and interviewed several contractors from Angie's List and knew from the 1st visit that Schoeman Ent were a fit for us. Most contractors came out and tried to push their vision on us... they just didnt get it. Hennie LISTENs and WRITEs things down, so there are no communcation issues. Also, they are not condescending and do not always try and do things that will be easy for them. However, they do provide design assistance and common sense advice, which helps tremendously when trying to navigate the complexities of an end-to-end project. Any subs they used... painting, plumbing, cabinetry, electric have been completely vetted by them. You can be assured that anyone walking into your home will do the job well, be courteous, professional, and cleans-up after a day's work. Their attention to detail is what you would expect from professional craftsmen. Anyone can do demo work, but it takes a true artist to do all the little things to make your master bathroom a masterpiece.

When we moved to the Tampa area nearly two years ago, we intended to buy a move-in-ready home. We had recently done a major renovation on our old home, and did not want the hassle of another renovation. But -- the home we found was in its 1991 original condition. When it came time to look for a contractor to renovate the kitchen, 3 baths, and flooring, one of the interviews was with a contractor recommended by a vendor. Professional, experienced and innovative, we chose Schoeman Enterprises, Inc., over the others. The renovations went smoothly, because this family knows what they are doing, and make sure they understand what their client wants. Professional and Experienced -- The projects (divided into two phases) came in on time and on budget. Innovative -- The kitchen and mster bath were reconfigured to remove design flaws from their original condition. You just cannot go wrong wtih Schoeman Enterprises, Inc. If you wonder about this statement, take a look at the photos on their website: www.SchoemanConstruction.com

After comparing several estimates and meeting with multiple contractors, we settled on Hennie Schoeman. We felt that he had a good sense of what we were looking for in our new bathroom. He had provided us with a clear and very detailed quote for both the labor costs and for the estimated cost of materials. In addition, we felt comfortable leaving him and his crew at home alone while both my wife and I were at work. We had wanted to be involved in selecting tiles, hardware, tub, etc. Hennie gave us full reign there and incorporated all features we requested - with helpful hints of what to chose and what to avoid. While the entire project took a bit longer than we had hoped, we ended up with a very beautiful and well-designed bathroom that came as close as we could have hoped to our wishes. I would definitely recommend Hennie and his crew to anyone taking on a major remodeling job.

I have a "very" small bathroom that was 30 years old! I was looking for a company I could trust and Schoeman Enterprises was that company. Their ad said they don't do "cheap" work so I emailed Hennie Schoeman and said I wanted quality work as "inexpensively as possible"! Hennie and "company" were amazing. I trusted them in my home while I was at work (rare for me), I was informed of each step of the work and Hennie was always available by email or phone. The hand made vanity and cabinet are exactly what I wanted. The lighting and bath fixtures are beautiful and match perfect. Hennie worked with me and my budget every step of the way. He was very professional, made suggestions I would not have thought of and answered all my "silly woman questions"! My next project will be my kitchen and Schoeman Enterlprises is the company I will call.

I was referred to Mr Hennie by the manager of the building and had a good impression on the first meeting and after the estimate was submitted and we met again, I decided to use his company's services. The team of Schoeman Enterprises was very polite and did their work with utmost professionalism. The job was done within the desired time frame and went without any interruptions even though I lived out of state and would travel to Tampa every couple of weeks to meet with Hennie Schoeman. I was kept updated every few days with pictures of the progress. Daily progress reports via telephone took a lot of pressure off me. My renovation project was totally stress free and the confidence I placed in Schoeman Enterprises abilities was well rewarded. Should I ever need the services of a contractor I will certainly be contacting Mr Schoeman again.

The work area involved is very small with awkward partitions so only one person could occupy the space at a time. Amir, however, did the job of three men quickly demolishing the existing tile, removing debris and cleaning up every day. He corrected many structural problems that showed up when the walls were opened saving us grief years from now. Amir also installed our new tile and proved to be a true craftsman/artist. He offered many suggestions to elaborate on the design theme we had selected and we are impressed with his creativeness. The job went a few days longer than expected but the final result was worth it.

Very professional work from every member of the team. I was given a comprehensive estimate at the beginning which was adjusted when changes were made, but the pricing was closely adheared to. There was a definite schedule for all work done and if there were a delay or question, I was promptly informed. There were no long delays, and they were careful to make sure that things were kept as tidy as possible while the work was going on. All of my questions were answered within a twenty-four hour period on a regular basis. I never had a difficult time contacting Hennie or his son Able if I had a question or concern. Renovations of an existing home are always difficult when you remain living in the home, but this company made it as good experience as it could possibly be. As I recall it was about a six month process, as we had a few months' break between bathroom renovations and completion of other projects so I could have some relief from all of the dust etc. I would be very comfortable in recommending their services to anyone, and I actually already have.

Schoeman Enterprises is a one of a kind contractor. It has truly been a pleasure to work with Hennie and his family on several projects.They are very professional and organized starting with the estimates down to the finished project and cleanup. And workers always showed up when they said they would!!!! The fact that we never hesitate to recommend Schoeman Enterprises to our family and friends lets you know how much confidence we have in their company.

Everything went great with them. We have contacted them afterwards to get some estimates on some other jobs, but didn’t carry on with those.

Terrible. The subcontractors (granite countertops and floor tiling) were great. However, my husband had to help them figure out how to install the new toilet & had to install the toilet seat himself. The walls had to be patched after mirrors were removed. They just put drywall compound on & didn't even sand it. The walls are plastered & have a texture. They don't do that, but they didn't even offer who could fix the walls. They were just going to install the new wall cabinets & leave the walls as is, so it was our problem to take care of the walls. They said I didn't ask about the wall texturing. I thought I could rely on them to look at the whole project to make sure it would all be taken care of. I was sorely disappointed that I had to think of every detail then keep hearing "We don't do that". The quarter-round from the baseboard was removed to install the toilet. They said they don't re-install it. That wasn't specified on the proposal. They were supposed to reinstall the faucets in the master bath sink. But they threw them out, so my husband had to go shopping for new faucets. My husband said he had to constantly supervise. It was as if they'd never done this before. It was a terrible experience. I finally told them to just forget it. My husband & I finished the work ourselves. We were doing a lot of it anyway!

He hasn't started the work yet. That will start on the 14th of March. They've been negotiations for probably about a month now and the last thing he wrote me was an email. He is very good about communicating. I haven't had the work done yet so it's really hard for me to say, but up until now I felt confident. I've been in touch with some of the other people he has done work for and they seemed pleased. He is very good about communication and professionalism. So far every meeting, he's been on time.

The quote was kind of high and we got the work done elsewhere for quite a bit less. He was very professional and he was on time. We were doing it for my 75-year-old aunt who was on a limited budget and it didn't fit in her budget. We got the work done for less money. He did everything that I asked him to do; I just decided not to use him.

Were very professional and respectful of our decision to go with someone else. Our mistake.

Our renovation has just been completed. Schoeman has worked during the past year (in 2 phases) to make our 1990 house into a very updated home. They, with their handpicked technicians, transformed every room of our 4-bed, 3-bath home. From the floors to the ceiling and all spaces in between, Hennie, Abel, and Almir were always there, very creatively mixing all of our ideas to give us "easy to live in" spaces. When the Schoemans say they want to take the pain out of your renovation experience, they really mean it. They kept to the schedule, or called. They made sure we weren't stressed about anything. They did it right the first time. Hennie found wonderful examples of the latest in cabinetry, granite, travertine, porcelain tile, and tumbled marble, saving us from the hassle of going store to store to find what was needed. Abel and Almir came up with ways to give us three bathrooms and a kitchen, which are functional, unique, well-designed and well executed, as well as beautiful. They are true professionals in every sense. Just take a look at our bathrooms and kitchen on their website and you will see the photos from our renovations (as well as other clients). These examples show the kind of work you can expect when you use Schoeman Enterprises Inc., as we did, for your renovations- one room or multiple rooms.

Excellent. Very responsive, timely, excellent craftsmanship. easy to work with and very accomodating. Would definitely recommed.

Very professional; very please with results; helpful advice offered; no pressure; wonderful workers. If one is looking for a new look this is the place to go.

He is wonderful, but very expensive. He would be my first choice, but he is not affordable at the moment. Of all the people I called, he is the most expensive. He is incredibly professional and detailed. He knows he is going to do the job and he tells that he is not going to be the cheapest. He has a great website with all kinds of examples of his work. He responds immediately to emails and phone calls.

Overall this was an excellent process. Henni, the owner, was very responsive, always on time, and very accessible. He was also on site almost everyday. The oversight was exceptional. It was clearly his priority to see that were happy with the process from the estimate to completion. This is a very fair, honest, and trustworthy organization.

Hennie came out and gave me an estimate. Although I can't find any fault with him or his company, the estimate was more than I was prepared to spend. He asked me to give him an idea of what I wanted to spend and I just couldn't do that. The amount I had budgeted was significantly less and I was not going to ask someone with his reputation to take less.

Everything went very well. The one major delay was due to a crack in one of the tub walls that had to be ordered and all work was delayed until that came in. The wait was well worth it because the end product was absolutely beautiful. I am delighted with the look of my new bathroom. The people I worked with were polite, professional, and always had a positive attitude.

Hennie Schoeman and his son Abel did a wonderful job. The new bathroom is beautiful. I highly recommend them. I had estimates from 2 other companies. Hennie's was right in the middle on price, but I felt FAR more confident in his abilities than the other companies I talked to. Hennie and his sons are very professional, skilled, and of the highest integrity. It was so refreshing to meet people of such high character. Abel did most of the work himself. He was on time every day and cleaned up every evening. He even made sure I had a path through the area so I could walk through to the adjoining closet - very thoughtful! (I fully expected to be kicked out of my closet for a month and that did not happen for even a day!) Abel is very skilled at tiling and offered great suggestions to improve the look. The project took 3 full weeks of daily work, plus about 5 days spread out over the next 2 weeks to finish up (due to waiting for granite and shower doors, etc.). I even left town for a week and didn't worry once about how the work was progressing. There were no problems at all and I plan to use them again for my next remodeling project.

we found Hennie Schoeman on Angie's list, he came out right away listened carefully to what we wanted and came back within one week with an estimate, Hennie was the fourth company we spoke with. Hennie had a few suggestions for us, we had not thought of,. we negotiated the final price, he gave us a budget and suggested companies whose quality he was comfortable with to choose our Travertine and granite from. we purchased our own cabinetry. Hennie provided everything else. My wife and I both work, so we gave a Key to our home to Hennie and felt very comfortable doing so. He had three main workers whom he introduced to us. and work began on the day he said it would January 4th 2010, each day when we returned home from work the house was as we left it, and the bathroom was in different stages of development, when something required more than previously thought Hennie called immediately and gave us an estimate ie: the bathroom pipes needed replacing, the cost was minimal and the work needed. old items were left for our inspection, Hennie called nightly to check how we felt it was going and if we felt anything was missed or needed. he finished when he said he would and the transformation is remarkable, our friends and family are impressed and so are we. he took a 55 yr old bathroom and transformed it into exactly what we envisioned. We are very happy we found Hennie on Angie's list. While he wasn't the cheapest he was certainly the best.

I started to write a long detailed account but decided to delete it and simply cut to the chase. Hennie Schoeman is a man without peer in the construction industry. If you are in the market for someone to work in your home, you can end your search here and now. Hire Schoeman Enterprises. Any job that is of the scope of the work that Schoeman Enterprises performed in my home will undoubtedly have some issues and this job was no different. It is in the handling of the issues that the true character of a contractor is revealed. This job revealed that Hennie Schoeman is a man of unquestionable character, a man of his word, and a man who truly cares about those he does business with. The end result of the work that Schoeman Enterprises did in our home is in a word "breathtaking". The transformation is unbelievable and our house is now the envy of the neighborhood and we owe it all to Hennie Schoeman. Thank you Hennie!
