Reviews frequently mention clear communication and a collaborative design process from early sketches through completion. Homeowners highlight flexibility for plan adjustments and practical solutions to site constraints. Workmanship and finish quality, including cabinetry and stone details, are recurring positives. Overall sentiment reflects organized project management and a professional, approachable team.

We recently built a home with Shultz Design & Construction in Graybill East. From the beginning of the process, the entire team was extremely helpful, communicative, and professional. They customized and made our home exactly what we wanted, from the layout of the floor plan to the design in each room. Shultz uses only the best quality material (e.g. custom/Amish made cabinets, high quality countertops, authentic exterior stone/materials, etc.). The design team is superb and brought every one of my ideas to life in a way that flows so seamlessly throughout the house. The entire Shultz team made sure that our home was built exactly how we wanted and perfect for our growing family. We could not recommend them more for building a custom and luxury home.

My family and I moved to Ohio following a career opportunity and were ready to build our forever home. We found Shultz and we are so thankful we did. From the beginning it has been a great experience. We worked with Don who hand-drew a layout for our home based on our wish list. The design process was not only organized but enjoyable! We worked with our amazing designer Rachel who became like family to us. Rachel helped transform our vision and desire for utility and design into a home we could be proud of. With every project there are some hiccups, but the Shultz team manages them with professionalism and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Our project was actually completed ahead of schedule and the quality is phenomenal. We can’t recommend this team enough!

Shultz D&C helped us design and then built a beautiful addition to our lake house. Access to the property presented several unique challenges to the project. The entire team worked diligently to come up with solutions to each issue. The quality of workmanship was top notch. It was indeed a pleasure working with Darren and the other team members. They listened to our input carefully and provided great ideas along the way to improve the final design. The entire project was completed on time and almost within the original budget. The project has no doubt improved the overall value of our property and we love the results. We highly recommend the company.

Susan Misconish on Shultz Design & Construction

I built with Shultz Design and Construction in 2018. I started the process looking at many builders and narrowed it down to three before I got serious. After several meetings, I chose Don Shultz. He worked with me on the design of the house, listened to what I wanted, tweaked things that didn't meet our expectation and came up with a great design that I love. He also made suggestions during the build that improved the design or made appropriate changes when something didn't quite work.

The build started in May and steadily progressed. Sarah, their designer, kept me moving on making all the choice decisions and helped when she felt I needed "more" to make the right decision. While it seemed to take a long time to all come together, the house was in constant change and work continued throughout the process.

The crews were very courteous when I stopped by and all of them were willing to work with me if needed.

I am very happy with the finished product. If I were to build again, Shultz Design and Construction would be my only choice for design and build.

Working with the Shultz team is like working with old friends. Not only was the quality of the work superior, but working collaboratively with them to come up with the "perfect design" was awesome. As the project got going, my wife and I wanted adjustments. Working to change the plan and get exactly what we wanted was easy. I would sum up things by saying, "If you want the highest quality work, great ideas and to be truly delighted with your project, trust Shultz Design and Construction!
