What Clients Say
Stan guided me patiently and with integrity. I had not renovated a home before — Stan quickly got to know my style and respected my budget. I never felt "out of the loop." Stan uses his strength of industry knowledge and human nature to reassure at all phases. I continue to love the renovation and will definitely hire Stan again.
We were highly satisfied with the outcome and the process. Throughout the project, we felt that Stan was thorough, communicative and responsive and his follow through to completion was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to use Schachne Architects and Builders again.
