+ -1 moreI saw a report by someone who experienced shoddy plumbing through Schmidt. We experienced the exact same thing. They installed a shower head through uninsulated attic space. The pipes froze long after Schmidt disappeared. Although we paid for high end products - they chose the cheapest option available. It was a constant effort to try and stay ahead of their poor choices. Could not pin them down for the final punch list. In some cases we had to find other contractors to finish the work. Constant demand for payments which never seemed to get passed on to the sub contractors. Some of the subs rang our doorbell to get paid after we had already paid Schmidt for their work. Bernie Schmidt has several companies running under different names so be careful!! One of which is Pure Energy Alternatives. I believe he is still building energy efficient homes in the area. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUILDER AND BERNIE SCHMIDT AT ALL COSTS.
Description of Work: New home building and renovation/ remodeling.

+ -1 moreTHIS COMPANY HAS BEEN BARRED FROM DOING BUSINESS IN WILMETTE AND GLENVIEW, BUT SOMEHOW IS STILL BUILDING HOMES. TRY TO AVOID THEM.
Description of Work: WE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE FROM THEM. CONSTRUCTION QUALITY SEEMS MOSTLY GOOD, ALTHOUGH PLUMBING IS SOMEWHAT SHODDY. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED BECAUSE PUNCHLIST ITEMS WERE NOT COMPLETED. ALSO, THEY EMPTIED AN ESCROW ACCOUNT WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF OUR MONEY BEFORE ALL THE PUNCHLIST ITEMS WERE COMPLETED. THEY NEVER COMPLETED ALL THE ITEMS, AND I SPENT A YEAR AND A HALF PURSUING THEM TO COMPLETE NECESSARY WORK. IT WAS HELL. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND HIRED SOMEONE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. OVERALL, THIS IS NOT A PLEASANT OR HONEST COMPANY TO DEAL WITH. I ALSO RECEIVED NUMEROUS REPORTS THAT SUBCONTRACTORS WERE NOT PAID ON TIME. THE SUBCONTRACTOR WHO BUILT MY ROOF SEEMS TO BE OUT OF BUSINESS, AND MY ROOF, WHICH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, IS LEAKING. THIS, AND THE PLUMBING, MAKES ME QUESTION THE QUALITY OF SUBS USED.
