Scheftel Construction

Handyman Services, Drywall, Finished Carpentry and Woodworking,

About us

Welcome to Scheftel Construction! Scheftel Construction is a small but full-service construction company located in south Minneapolis. We provide skilled craftsmanship and reliable service for projects ranging from home repair and remodeling to commercial projects. We specialize in vintage home maintenance and remodeling. Whether you want to create an addition or a deck, remodel a bathroom or a kitchen, or need help with outdoor trim or roof repairs, patching a ceiling, or any of those many things that always need fixing in an older house, we can help you. Our wood shop can create custom woodworking and millwork to match your existing trim and woodwork, and our portable sawmill provides custom-cut local wood — wood from the urban forest — that can be used for trim, custom built-ins, wooden counters, furniture and other special projects. Wood from the urban forest means lumber sawn from trees in the metro area that are dead or have been downed by storms, or trees that have been cut by tree services — wood that might otherwise go to waste or be chipped or sold for firewood. There is an amazing variety of wood growing in and around the Twin Cities. In addition to standbys like red oak, white oak and ash, we offer unusual — and more dramatic — woods, like black walnut, red elm, cherry, honey locust, spalted maple, clear spruce and more. Thank you for considering Scheftel Construction and we look forward to impressing you!

Description of Work: Steve Scheftel repaired two areas of sheetrock in two different rooms in our house. Because it was an extremely cold day and one wall was an outside wall the drying process took longer than he expected it would. He briefly left to allow it more time to dry, returned and finished the work. I expected to pay more as it took longer but he did not charge more. He was quiet, diligent and all around professional. I learned he does general contracting and woodworking and will definitely use him again in the future.

Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for dry rot repair. Initially, the repair looked to be okay. Although the rotted area was very small, I had to purchase supplies which cost $90 in addition to the cost of the Big Deal. But that said, I was satisfied. A few days later it rained and the repaired areas sagged and pulled away from the soffit. He cheerfully and promptly returned to redo the repair but I think it should have been done correctly the first time.

Description of Work: Mike was able to repair a wall patch that was opened for a plumbing issue. He worked quickly and professionally and did a great job. Time did not allow for multiple skim coats to be applied so I opted to do that portion myself. He did offer to come back in a few hours though. Very pleased with the repair.

Description of Work: 4 hours of handyman services. I had him replace 4 light fixture and remove 2 towel bars and patch the walls where they were removed. He did everything I asked and even though the time ran over some he did not charge me extra. If I was rating him for the light fixture replacements he would have had a straight A rating. He did remove the towel bars and patch the walls as I requested, but what I had to do after-the-fact is what dropped the rating. The patching was not dry when he left so I had to sand it down, which would normally not be a problem, but what he used to patch the walls was a problem. Before he left he told me that when I start sanding it will create a fine mist in the air, that will go everywhere, so I'll want to wear protective gear over my eyes and mouth and cover everything. What? I did just that, and I held up a vacuum as I was doing it, and I still had to wash every inch of the bathroom - the walls, floors, sink, toilet, tub, shower, doors, baseboards, and light fixture. I was not pleased. I would use him again, because I believe he is quite knowledgeable, but I don't know why he used what he used to patch a couple of spots on the wall.
