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: Repair of trim on the front entrance of the house. It was a curved section which is very visible. Scheftel Construction took into consideration the detail of the house trim. The repair looks great.

Description of Work: Fixed a window frame on house and on garage, replaced a siding board on garage, secured a loose pole on house. He completed more work than I thought he would be able to do in the 4 hours, was agreeable, prompt, and helpful. I will probably contract with him again.

Description of Work: We have a 1911 bungalow and the wood from different soffits was rotting. The carpenter was able to reinforce the old wood without having to do a total redo of the wood itself. It is hard to find someone who knows how to work with older homes but it was clear that this carpenter had experience with it. I have already requested to use this company for other work on our home.

Description of Work: We purchased the 4 hours of carpentry labor for $149. Steve was hired to replace two porch posts in our entry and help with rebuilding the railing if there was time. He came a little early and got right to work. He stayed beyond his time frame to ensure the railing was completely installed also. I was able to assist him and he appreciated the extra hand. His amount of experience was evident in the way he was able to use timesavers I may not have thought about.

Description of Work: Scheftel Construction offered 4 hours of work for $149 for wood rot repair. We have not been able to connect to have the work done. I work and my husband travels. It was a constant game of phone tag. He showed up and left a card in the door without calling and didn't look around to see what work needs to be done. I asked for a refund and he told me to call Angie's List directly for the refund. Since then, I reached out to other companies through Angie's List to get the work done.

Description of Work: I bought the 2 hour handyman service deal. Steve installed a ceiling fan for me. While I was happy he finished the job, I was thinking it wouldn't take the full 2 hours as I was hoping he could get to a couple of other things as well. Overall, I am glad to have the fan in and Steve was a nice guy and easy to work with.
