What Sets Us Apart

Helical Pier Footings

Helical Piers-1

At Schonhardt & Sons, we fortify our decks and porches by installing our own Helical Pier Footings. These can provide a sturdy, code-approved foundation for a raised backyard deck.

Hidfast Decking

The HIDfast system is a faster and more efficient deck fastening system.  Barely visible, the fasteners hold deck boards securely by diagonally nailing through one edge of the boards, and pinning the edge of the oncoming board.

Aluminum Railings

Aluminum railings are premium railing materials from both a performance and price standpoint. The railings we use come in up to 20-foot lengths, creating a long, continuous, and stronger top rail.

I have wanted an updated kitchen for years. Finally, my husband agreed to bite the bullet and we hired Schondart & Sons to do the job. We couldn't have made a better choice. Our "new" kitchen is beautiful, modern, exactly what we wanted.

Our new deck has become the to-go hang-out spot in our neighborhood. The quality of work is superb. If you are looking for a new deck or porch, I highly suggest Schonhardt and Sons More.

Schonhardt and Sons built my deck last summer.  They were very easy to work with and did a fantastic Job!  The high quality materials they used look great.

We reached out to S and S  in the fall of 2022 to quote a deck to be built the next spring. They were very easy to work with and pricing was competitive so we signed up.  They put the footings in before the ground froze so they could get started right away in the spring (2023).  The deck is sturdy and it looks very sharp.  We are very happy with our deck.

This is a family I have known for years now.  I worked with the Schonhardts and was very happy.  If you are looking for experience, reliability and attention to detail they can help you with your projects.

On time and under budget seems like an overused cliché but it applies perfectly for Mark and Dan.  We had a rather large basement build project last summer with tight deadlines.  Mark and Dan came through with flying colors.  They beat all deadlines and came in under budget and the basement looks great.  What more can a person ask for?  The project included an office, conference room, bathroom, kitchenette and storage area.

Overall the services provided exceeded our expectations in both appearances and quality of material for our deck.  We would certainly recommend Schonhardt and Sons for any inside and/or outside home construction work.

We hired Schonhardt and Sons to build a porch and deck.  They did a great job.  It was excellent detail and workmanship.  Mark and Dan are a great father son team.  The price was fair.  I would use them again.
