I really enjoyed working with Greg Schmidt/Home Restoration Services. His company's work is thorough and very high quality. He expects the best from his sub-contractors and is on-site to make sure the work is completed and meets his (and my) standards. His attention to detail is very much appreciated. I feel like I can trust Greg and not have to second-guess him. And one more thing – he helped us catch a mouse, which clearly was beyond the call of duty

We have come to know Home Restoration Services via a project they completed for our neighbors. We think the work looks wonderful and know our neighbors are pleased with the results. We noted how considerate Home Restoration was during the construction. Not only were they polite and friendly, but always gave a wave and let the kids watch them work. They even paused to answer the children’s questions. Home Restoration Services was consistently on the job and seemed to be very considerate regarding equipment and parking. We think they should be considered if you are contemplating a remodeling project.

My wife and I have utilized Home Restoration Services on many occasions over the past ten years. We have an older home in South Minneapolis which is usually in need of some sort of repair or update. Greg is an expert at working with homes of this vintage. He is capable of handling both very small projects that others avoid as well as larger remodeling and renovation projects. In either of these situations he is an excellent resource who pays great attention to detail. We have always known him to produce a very high quality product at a reasonable price.

This is the 3rd project Greg has done for us. A basement finishing, a front porch addition and now a significant addition including a kitchen remodel/expansion and an additional bathroom. The house is approximately 100 years old. Throughout the project the house provided a few surprises, but Greg worked through them to assure the quality and character of the old home stayed intact while bringing in the modern conveniences of today. Our house has become a much more functional and welcoming home and we could not be happier with the result.Read More

We had a great experience with Greg and everyone at Home Restoration Services when we remodeled our bath. From the moment we met with the team we knew that this was a good group to work with. This was our only full bath and our first remodel so we were quite unsure with what we were getting into. The team understood our needs and came forward with creative solutions while making sure the work was done in a manner that was in keeping with the craftsmanship of the original home.
Honest, high quality, creative, and stands behind their work — this is what would get when you work with Home Restoration.
I would use them again in a heart beat.Read More

We can’t say enough good things about Greg at Home Restoration Services, Inc. Greg was recommended from a relative and it quickly became clear he was the right fit for our project! From the start he impressed us with his organized excel file, allowing us to get a very clear and transparent breakdown of cost. What really sealed our decision to work with him was the agreement to let us do any portion of the work ourselves, which was all prearranged from the beginning, of course. Living in South Minneapolis it was important our two story addition blended with the rest of our 1922 house style; being that we didn’t hire a designer, we really stretched Greg and he came through with great recommendations and collaborative ideas.
I must acknowledge that Greg is extremely giving of his time – often providing recommendations and answering our many clarifying questions as we finalize the inside work of the project ourselves. Just one example is that we needed specific insulation that would have required a long lead time. This came up in a passing conversation and Greg offered to go pick it up from a location only contractors have access to AND cut it to fit our measurements.
Greg is a good person and fantastic contractor. We have also been very happy with the work his subcontractors have done. We would work with him again in a second and will continue to recommend him to everyone we know.Read More

We hired Greg for a full kitchen and back porch remodel in our 1905 South Minneapolis home. His work product and communication skills are fantastic, and we would recommend him to anyone, especially those who love older homes.
When we ran into construction problems related to previous renovations, Greg was honest in his assessments, and his problem solving skills helped us figure out the best solutions. Greg's workmanship and attention to detail is fantastic, and he holds his excellent stable of subcontractors to the same high standards. Greg 's background in carpentry meant that he was able to re-use the existing trim to help blend the new kitchen into the rest of the house.
Best of all are Greg's communication skills - we always knew what was going on, and he was always available when we had questions, no matter how big or small.Read More

Home Restoration Services was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I knew Greg Schmidt long before my wife and I approached him with our dream for a front porch addition. Now I consider him a friend. Very early Greg introduced us to Architect, Lee Meyer. Lee listened and observed carefully, then planned and designed a space that exceeded our expectation. Greg partnered with subcontractors who expertly crafted Lee’s vision. Everyone shared the same responsiveness and concern for our complete satisfaction. The porch looks as though it’s always been part of the house. Its already a favorite place to sit at night with family and friends.Read More
