Jim started the business in 1984 primarily focusing on single phase contracting. He was proficient handling projects such as roofing, siding, decking and framing since he had grown up working for his father, a successful home builder. In 1986, framing became his focus as Jim built a 10 crew framing business, a phase of construction that is still one of the pillars of Schneider Construction today. In 1992 he built his first full home and the professional growth for Jim and his business continued to evolve. In 2003, after successfully building many homes in the Northeast, Jim and his wife Sue moved both the business and their family to Virginia. Schneider Construction serves all of Southeastern Virginia including the Eastern Shore, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach. For many years, Jim has worked with architects and designers to build many beautiful vacation and retirement homes along the Chesapeake Bay on the quaint and beautiful Eastern Shore. Jim enjoys an excellent reputation among the Shore locals and continues to build there today. Jim is a very personable, down to earth guy. An excellent communicator, especially on the listening side, his clients enjoy a close working relationship with him and his team. It is not unusual for those relationships to continue long after the projects are complete. He is a true perfectionist and his reputation reflects that. Jim and Schneider Construction are truly one and the same. ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - Bathroom Remodeling - Kitchen Remodeling - General Contracting - Home Additions - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Home Extensions - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Outdoor Kitchen Construction - Pool House Design & Construction - Porch Design & Construction - Green Building - Attic Conversion - Home Gym Design & Construction - Custom Cabinets - Remodeling ### Areas Served - Virginia Beach - Chesapeake - Norfolk - Eastern Shore ### Typical Job Cost $200,000 - 3.5 million Custom Home Builder General Contractor, Luxury Home Remodeling, Kitchens and Baths in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Cape Charles, Virginia ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Schneider Construction, LLC | | Address | 223 East City Hall Avenue, Suite 408, Norfolk, Virginia 23510, United States | | Phone | (757) 678-6551 | | Website | http://www.SchneiderConstructionVa.com | | License Number | 2705173827 | | Followers on Houzz | 146 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/SchneiderConstructionVa - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/SchneiderConVA - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/schneiderconstructionva/ - Blog — https://schneiderconstructionva.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Schneider Construction, LLC](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/schneider-construction-llc-pfvwus-pf~1417971685) - **Website:** http://www.SchneiderConstructionVa.com - **Phone:** (757) 678-6551 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - • Certified Aging in Place Specialist - • Certified Graduate Builder - • Graduate Master Builder - • Master Certified Green Building Professional - • Best of Houzz - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2017–2018), for Service. **Affiliations** - [National Association of Home Builders](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-association-of-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~562065019) - [Coastal Virginia Building Industry Association](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/coastal-virginia-building-industry-association-pfvwus-pf~848216970) - [NAHB Certified Green Professional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/schools-and-organizations/nahb-certified-green-professional-pfvwus-pf~1100930283) - [NAHB Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/schools-and-organizations/nahb-certified-aging-in-place-specialist-pfvwus-pf~471784673) - [NAHB Certified Graduate Builder](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/schools-and-organizations/nahb-certified-graduate-builder-pfvwus-pf~27188443) - [NAHB Graduate Master Builder](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/schools-and-organizations/nahb-graduate-master-builder-pfvwus-pf~186571986) - [NAHB Master Certified Green Professional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/schools-and-organizations/nahb-master-certified-green-professional-pfvwus-pf~941546691) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 17 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Willie Downs, Jan. 2022** > We were very pleased with Schneider Construction. Technically, we renovated a beach house but really it was torn down and rebuilt from scratch. The whole Schneider team from design, to planning to construction did an outstanding job. Their follow up on some minor touch ups even several months after the project was completed and paid for was superb. **★★★★★ — Monica Johnson, Nov. 2020** > Jim Schneider built our custom home in the East Beach neighborhood in Norfolk, Virginia. Jim cares deeply about the construction quality, materials that live well and enhance longevity -- especially in our coastal climate -- communication, and helping to realize the vision of the client and architect. He stands behind his work and is a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Jane Ibeawuchi, Aug. 2018** > I have worked with Schneider Custom Builders on many projects over the last few years. Schneider Custom Builders is one of the most organized builders I have worked with. Jim and his entire team communicate well and are a pleasure to work with. They all make you feel like you are also a part of the team! I love the opportunity to work on his many unique and diverse projects. **★★★★★ — User, June 2017** > Jim has built several homes that I have designed and each time I have been impressed with the quality of his work and the professionalism with which he approaches both his projects and his business. He even maintains an extensive showroom of materials and finishes and an in house interior designer to help clients select materials and finishes for their home. He strives to maintain a friendly, flexible and cooperative relationship with his clients and is not satisfied until they are. I Highly recommend Jim **★★★★★ — Amy Lorvidhaya, May 2017** > Jim went above and beyond before the project was even approved, offering to attend my HOA's architectural review board meeting with me to answer any questions they had. We needed multiple iterations of drawings, and they were always completed quickly and changed exactly how we specified. The timeline they provided was mostly stuck to (unless it was something that was not their fault), and overall the work was done in a more timely fashion than other contractors I've worked with. There was excellent communication along the way, and any time I raised a concern, it was addressed promptly and satisfactorily. The finished project looks amazing--I have gotten so many compliments, and it's not just the appearance, but also the craftsmanship, that is truly impressive. I highly recommend Jim, Jeff (the foreman on our project), Jaime and Jenna (the designers), and the whole Schenider team! I will be using them for any future projects without hesitation. **★★★★★ — laurenconner39, Feb. 2017** > Jim and Jaime did a terrific job updating two bathrooms and a laundry room in my home. I could not have been more pleased. Appreciated the guidance on selecting the thickness of the shower doors, the perfect floating sink for the space and the new material that keeps soap from building up on the glass door. Thumbs up for Schneider Custom Builders. **★★★★★ — Ervin Jones, Oct. 2016** > Jim and his staff exceeded our expectations. Jim built our home on a sand dune above the Chesapeake Bay. From day one, Jim and his staff were communicative and patiently worked with us to design our home. We knew what we wanted, but Jim and his staff helped us to get there by pointing out flaws and offering suggestions. He knows what he is doing, particularly with to framing and and structure. In the end, we ended up with a home that we are truly proud of. We encountered none of the horror stories out there as pertains to building projects. Jim was very easy to work with and followup has been wonderful. Jim is a quality builder. Not only would I recommend him to a friend, I would recommend him to a family member. Need I say more. **★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2016** > This was our first time building a custom home; Jim and his professional team made it an enjoyable experience. If we had to build another house we would have no hesitation in hiring Schneider Custom Builders. We found the staff to be very knowledgable and very helpful during the house build and post construction support has been stellar. We know we are in good hands with Schneider Custom Builders. Our house was completed in March 2015. **★★★★★ — Dave B, Sept. 2016** > Jim is a highly skilled professional. He and his crew built a home for our family on the beach. The materials used, the craftsmanship, and the attention to detail were exemplary. The collaborative "team" atmosphere that Jim maintained during the planning and construction phases resulted in a level of personalization that is appreciated by our family each day. After living in the house for a while, we requested a few additional features that he built to fit in as if they were always there. We are glad to know Jim, and aside from having our business, he has our trust. **★★★★★ — Dennis Grabulis, Sept. 2016** > Jim Schneider was the perfect builder. His interaction and dialogue with us throughout the process ended with the perfect home. After the fact, the follow up has been outstanding as well -- any issue or question we have has had has been dealt with in a timely fashion and without question. We are very pleased and highly recommend Jim to anyone building a new home of doing modifications to an existing residence. **★★★★★ — HU-812695, Sept. 2016** > Excellent all around! No complaints or concerns whatsoever. I had the front of my house redone and Jim was very involved and helpful from day one to the end of the project. My house looks AMAZING and is exactly what I was envisioning. I never had problems with delays or communicating with him. Should I have any future projects, he will be my first person to call. I give him my highest recommendation. Thanks Jim! **★★★★★ — nelson thomas, Sept. 2016** > Professional staff,project follow through and tracking.Most competive during bid process.Made target dates and costs.Post completion follow up/support.Built great custom home for involved customer. ## Selected projects -
