We have used Alloway on all of our projects. They communicate well and do amazing work.
Customer service oriented, creative, nice and fun to work with!
My deck turned out great! I have received several compliments. My dogs and I love it!
As the owner of a house built in 1923 the expertise of Alloway Construction & Restoration (previously Schulte Restoration) who has done work on the house for the past thirty years I would never have any other contractor.
We had a total renovation of our house. The interactions with the Alloway team were always honest and professional. The team is very experienced, and the work was excellent quality. We are very happy with the workmanship and outcome.
I would highly recommend Alloway Construction. Their team is knowledgable, efficient and respectful.
We had a wonderful experience with everyone at Alloway. They took care of our home as if it were their own. We couldn’t be happier with our kitchen remodel. Lou provided comfort and expertise. David made sure he left all aspects of our home better than he found it. And Lydia was always available to answer questions and offer support. We’re so grateful to the team!
We will recommend Alloway Construction & Restoration head and shoulders over any other contractor.
We found Lou Alloway to be extremely responsive to our needs and concerns. He is an excellent communicator and cares deeply about the quality of his team's work. He was incredibly supportive throughout the many months it took to renovate the kitchen and bathroom in our
100-year-old home. Crooked walls...slanting floors .....broken pipes ....cracked ceilings....the problems seemed endless to us. But Lou, Mike and James stood by us through all of it, and we will never forget the security we felt in having these men on our side.
Awesome professionals!!! Would strongly recommend, which I'm only hesitant to say from a purely selfish perspective because I want to be able to have them available when I reach out again.😀
Working with Schulte was everything I had hoped for and more. They are thoughtful and compassionate people who made me feel that I was joining their work family. They respected my historic home—very important to me—, listened to what I envisioned, but applied their expertise. It was great and I hope I have an opportunity to work with them again.
Very professional and friendly, manage the project from start to finish and the results are wonderful. They go out of their way to make sure you are 100% satisfied.
Without a doubt I would recommend them and would definitely work with them again for any construction project. They were very responsive, have great employees with amazing attention to detail, and completed the work on time. Very happy with their work.
We loved working with Schulte! They were very accommodating throughout the whole process, especially during the toughest parts of the pandemic. We were in constant communication for the duration of the project and any questions we had were answered right away. They took as many safety precautions as they could which was very reassuring. Our kitchen turned out beautifully and the project overall seemed very quick. We would absolutely work with them again on any future projects.
We have worked with several building companies over the years. Schulte Restorations has done excellent work for us.
Additional Comments - We were very happy with the finished product and would happily recommend Schulte Restorations. Furthermore, we would reach out to Schulte for any further additions to our home in the future. A special shout out to Lou Alloway, our direct contact, who we worked closely with throughout the entire project. He addressed any concerns we brought to his attention quickly and with kindness and professionalism. His attention to detail is unparalleled and his commitment to his client is unmatched. We would be remiss if we did not mention Thomas Warren, our project manager. Thomas was here every day and was a complete pleasure to have around. He is incredibly capable and attended to every task with diligence and excellence. We could not have asked for a better team and made what is typically a stressful process relatively painless. Thank you Schulte Restorations!

Additional Comments - Outstanding in every regard!

Likely To Recommend - Their professionalism and knowledge of work won them the job.
Additional Comments - Kurt went way beyond duty to meet with and communicate with my problematic insurance company, costing him (and me!!) a sizable amount of time.
Additional Comments - We have used Schulte Restorations on several major projects and some minor ones too. They have always come through for us, there are no surprises regarding cost, the work is always top-grade, the workers know what they're doing, don't cut corners, are pleasant and keep their work site clean. I would recommend them highly and without reservation.
Additional Comments - Thank you for taking a project gone awry and getting it back on track. David Liang is an exceptional craftsman and clearly takes great pride in his work product. He and everyone affilitated with Schulte Restoration went above and beyond to help us finish our kitchen restoration and were a pleasure to work with.
Likely To Recommend - I am particularly grateful for all the helpful advice and guidance in project details large and small from Kurt, Mike and David! Thank you!!

Additional Comments - Kurt Schulte and his team showed incredible professionalism and showed a lot of attention to detail from the beginning to the very last detail of our bathroom renovation. They were very communicative about the progress of the job. The team is very well organized, left the jobsite very clean after every workday and have been very respectful while working here at our house. I would definitely recommend Kurt and his team and would absolutely use them again!

Additional Comments - Schulte Restorations did a 2-part project on our 100-year-old home. Challenges arose as the work progressed, but Kurt, Mike and George diligently worked through each problem and found the best solution each and every time. These men were a pleasure to work with---always on time, always organized, always communicating with us, and always with a can-do attitude---and we will long remember their excellence and their absolute integrity.
Additional Comments - All in all, we could not be more satisfied. We found everyone from Schulte's staff to be incredibly skilled, creative, communicative, respectful, and kind. When problems arose, they were addressed immediately and our input was solicited. There was a true understanding that our budget was not unlimited and, when necessary, cost-effective solutions were proposed, even when that meant that another vendor (like Katie's Closets) would benefit instead of Schulte Restorations. The weekly meetings were super helpful in keeping us on track in terms of making decisions and explaining to us where we were along the way. Any questions we asked were addressed in detail and in a way that fully answered us without condescension or frustration at any lack of knowledge on our part. We always felt safe, both in terms of construction and having Schulte staff in our home, and any subcontractors were always supervised by our project manager. When making structural decisions, we were able to count on the experience and expertise of the Schulte team. No detail was left unattended, and the quality of work from the foundation and literal bricks & mortar to the trim and careful cabinet installation (and SO much more) was impeccable. We got some excellent suggestions on how to make small changes (like molding around the entry way between the dining room and living room, removal of track lighting, and installation of overhead lighting in the dining room) to improve the aesthetics of the house. And there was a general sense of calm that pervaded the experience so that we never felt nervous or hysterical, despite the normal chaos that accompanies this kind of work. We are very grateful to have had such a lovely group of people build out our beautiful home. Thank you.
Additional Comments - Kurt and the several staff members with whom we interacted were extremely competent, courteous, responsive, and well organized ! It has been a pleasure to work with each of them !
Additional Comments - Dear Kurt, Taufi and I would like to express our sincere gratitude for all you did in making our ‘dream kitchen idea’ come to life. From the moment we met you, we felt confident in Schulte Restorations ability to advise, guide and install our new kitchen. You listened to our needs, understood our ‘wants’ and didn’t let us down! As we swayed back and forth over design options, you gave us your thoughtful opinions and talked us through them, based on years of experience. You made time to join us at meetings with the architect, structural engineer and cabinet designer, providing continuity between us all at every step of the process. For clients who don’t live in the world of construction or renovation, this alone was incredibly important to us and once again made us feel confident in your approach to the ‘job’. At our pre-start meeting, you introduced Taufi and I to the Project Manager and Lead Carpenter. Two very professional and considerate men, who couldn’t do enough for us whenever they were working on-site. Whenever I had a question, they would stop working and take the time to answer fully. They were considerate of construction debris, parking, noise, safe access across the house for our children, the list goes on! We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. To top it all, when I happened to mention an issue completely unrelated to the kitchen renovation, you took it upon yourself to remedy the problem with the least amount of fuss. Thank you Kurt and please pass on our heartfelt thanks to Tom Endress, Mike Feskany and all the contracted help who provided the skill and craftsmanship we hoped for. Yours Sincerely, Sean and Taufi Ryder
Additional Comments - Schulte Restorations makes construction as easy and painless as it can be.
Additional Comments - Very professional group. Knowledgable. High standards.
Communication - We enjoyed working with Jim. He was informative and kept us in the loop with what he was doing and why. He always listened carefully to our concerns and thoughts, and worked to accommodate and trouble shoot with us. He was a comfortable addition to our home for the three months he was here.
Easier Than Expected - Kurt spent a lot of time with us before we ever signed a contract. He went over all aspects of the project in a manner that led us to believe that we knew who we would be working with. We felt that communication was a key, and that we would be getting that with Schulte. So, the answer is "no" because Schulte followed through as easily as expected.
Additional Comments - A high level of professional standards stretched from management to the building team, but even more appreciated was the level of flexibility extended during the 4 month process as we requested certain accommodations due to holiday visits, etc.We Thank the entire team !
Additional Comments - The chief reason we have continued to work with Schulte Restorations is that Kurt takes the time to understand all aspects of a project, no matter how challenging, and arrive at a solution that meets our needs.
Additional Comments - We would highly recommend Schulte Restorations without hesitation, and they will be my first call for my next project. They were very easy to work with, from the initial proposal process through completion of the project. Everyone in the Schulte organization was courteous, attentive and helpful. We are very pleased with their craftmanship and our finished project. They were a pleasure to work with. Many thanks to Kurt, Mike and especially Thomas, who was at the job site every day not just following the construction plans but providing us with useful suggestions along with his great work.
Additional Comments - We have been very pleased with all the work done by Schulte Restorations. They keep to the schedule outlined as best they can (meaning the workmen are here in all kinds of weather), they are unobtrusive, and always professional. The quality of the work is outstanding. We wish we had found them years ago.
Additional Comments - We went into this project having never done any renovations to our house. The project felt daunting. Schulte Restorations guided us through the entire project and responded to our questions and concerns. We felt well taken care of and our lead carpenter ultimately felt like a member of our family. We love our renovations and would recommend Schulte Restorations to anyone doing a home project.
Additional Comments - I am overjoyed with the work done by Schulte Restorations - based on the quality of work, professionalism and integrity of the staff, and my overall experience - on my house on Library Place, and I was very happy with the work they did on my previous house on Parkside Drive. I would be happy to write a letter of recommendation. I have forwarded this survey to my wife so she can also answer the questions. Chris Rice
Additional Comments - Wonderful experience working with Kurt, Chris, Mike etc. Excellent group of people, very professional.
