Steve was professional from our very first communication. He was responsive, timely and knowledgeable. Even though he ran into some unexpected things, he stuck to his quote and made sure that the job was done to his exacting standards. He consulted with us while he worked to make sure that he was giving us the results we wanted. Not only did he fix the collapsed drain tile that he found, but also left us with extra sand for the patio pavers we were installing. We are thrilled with the work that was done and would definitely use his services in the future and recommend him to family and friends.

We have never worked in Springbrook, WI. It is 100 miles away from us , we do not travel that far to work. It had to be another contractor.

Description of Work: Schmidt & Sons put in a new sewer line for us in July. Then they came back in August and excavated for footings for our new addition. They also brought in fill to raise our addition and garage; dug a ditch for a wood boiler and a pad to put it on. They work well together, and are all hard workers and very good at what they do. We definitely recommend them.

The crew showed up on time and finished when they anticipated. They returned to finish as soon as the concrete crew were ready for back filling. They are a friendly crew and were a great reference source for do it yourselfers, making many pertinent suggestions.

We just built this house finishing in late March. 1st we needed a large turn around installed to get our equipment turned around at the top of our driveway. The driveway is about 200 ft long up hill. When I was recieving bids for this work the builders excavator had not been back to finish the driveways final excavating, and final grade. Steve had pointed out that the ditches needed to be installed, and the driveway raised at the bottom to divert water to the culvert, or the driveway would wash away. after the other excavator came back, and didn't do much but cover the temp driveway with gravel, it happened just as Steve had said. Our driveway was washing away so bad we almost didn't have one by July. After numerous attempts to get the builder out to fix the driveway, we finally decided to hire a proffesional(Schmitt and Sons) They were out within a week, and did a fabulous job. Not only do we not have a lake at the bottom of the driveway, the gravel remains where it is supposed to be, and the ditches are not washing away. The driveway is 1/2 as steep, and looks great as Schmitt and Sons did a great clean up job. After the turn around was done, the tires on our large truck sunk in. Steve came out immediatly, and found some junk the builder buried. he performed this service at no charge to get it right. Steve followed up after both services were complete. Schmitt and Sons is a very proffesional company.
Description of Work: Schmitt & Sons, has done a few things for us this year. First they installed a large cul-de-sac type turn around at the top of our long driveway. Later they came to excavate ditches, and fix the driveway the original excavator failed to do. Our driveway was washing away with every rainfall.
