Shettler Construction Company, Inc.

This is my updated review for Shettler Contruction. This is my opinion of the building process and the final product. At the time of writing this we have been in the home for about 8 months. Janet and Dennis Shettler were very difficult to deal with everything had to be a big ordeal with his wife. It was very difficult to get anything from her. In fact, we still don't have a copy of the signed contract from the start of the project. We don't have a finalized itemized bill for the build. We were just presented with a final number that they demanded we pay before we even had a final occupancy. Janet made it a point to tell me I was not allowed to talk to any of her contractors. She always wants to talk on the phone and not do any business over text or email, for what I can only assume so nothing is written down. We got very little input into the design of our kitchen. When we wanted to change some things, it turned into a large ordeal. We were forced to use stone specialist counter tops. We wanted to use another local company to get exactly what we wanted at a significant savings. Again, this tuned into a huge ordeal. Stone specialist botched the install of the kitchen countertops. They were replaced after the fact with much headache. The tile work is atrocious in the kitchen and on the fireplace. We picked out some large format 24X48 tile for the fireplace. They were cut with an angle grinder and the cuts were not cleaned up with a diamond pad to make the cut look clean. If they were unable to install the tile, I would have picked out something else. But I was told they would figure it out. The kitchen backsplash the ground lines are uneven. Again, if they were uncomfortable with the tile, I would have picked something else out. Now the fireplace and the backsplash tile are going to have to be replaced. The home was left extremely dirty. I spent about 6-8 hours scraping drywall mud off the garage and basement floor. We have to replace two exterior door frames from a botched lockset installation. Most of the doors in the house have inconstant gaps and don't close properly. None of the doors have the same key we were just left a large pile of keys in a drawer with the garage door openers that were not programmed. All the paperwork for the house was just left in a large pile. The front door was left without a deadbolt on it. When I asked about this, Janet replied I thought you were putting something fancy on it, so we didn't order one. We never discussed this, and we incurred another charge because we had to purchase the dead bolt and install. We have damaged flooring from where they taped down floor covering and pulled the tape off. The first night were in the home we wanted to use the fireplace. We turned it one and didn't realize the blower controller was not plugged in. The face of the tile got so hot it cracked a 24X48 tile in two spots. We never got a final walkthrough with the builder to look at things or point

We hired Shettler Construction to build our home in Grand Blanc, MI in 2018. They had been highly recommended by a friend in the construction business. We met with Dennis and Janet and immediately got a good feeling that these were people we could work with, and more importantly, trust. Initially, we had a set of architecturally designed plans that we weren't thrilled with. Janet worked with us tirelessly (and patiently) for weeks to basically redesign the entire home. We broke ground in May, 2018. Then Dennis, John, and Chuck brought Janet's ideas (including a fabulous kitchen) to life. They helped us make decisions and selections on EVERYTHING as we went along. (Janet probably had to do more hand holding than usual... Sorry Janet!) We moved into our beautifully built "lodge style" home in January, 2019. The entire Shettler team and all of the subcontractors who came out were very professional and great to work with throughout. I really can't say enough good stuff and we couldn't be happier with the house! Truly Great People!

Very experienced builder with high quality custom work. They can do about anything! Easy to work with and very responsive to other trades needs during the custom builds. Every house is unique and it takes a great builder like Shettler Construction to make it look easy.

Shelter construction has don't amazing work for me. I have hired them to finish a closet, design and build a b beautiful custom home and full commercial build outs. You will not find a more trustworthy group to work with. They do not cut corners and will take pride in everything they build, as if it were there own. They are fair and honest, and extremely talented. Hire shelter construction for all of you construction needs, you will not be disappointed.
