Custom Staircase
Recently we remodeled our home. It was an absolute pleasure to have Schauland Construction work on our spiral staircase. They were creative, responsive and focused on quality. The craftsmanship was extraordinary. Any follow up was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Guests in our home are impressed with their design and quality. We are proud to say Schauland Construction did our home. We love it.

Custom Woodwork
This letter is to recommend Eliot Schauland of Schauland Construction, who did the finish carpentry in our home. He is truly an artisan and highly skilled craftsman. Eliot created a timeless masterpiece in our home, with his expertise in wood finishing. He put his heart and soul into our project, as if it were his own home. He is an inspiring young man who has the honesty, integrity and hand skills of the fine artisan type craftsman of old. The warm and elegant end product he created in our home from raw materials is absolutely stunning.
We completed our 8400 square foot retirement dream home, “Mountain Elegance” in the prestigious community of High Forest Ranch on July 31, 2014 and placed the home in the famous Colorado Springs Parade of Homes. Over the next 11 days approximately 10,000 people toured our home. Without exception, every person who viewed the home was awe struck, inspired and completely mesmerized by the craftsmanship of the exceptional wood work in our home. The wood features in our home are what set it apart from all the “other homes they have seen”, some of them stating over the past 30 years of touring “Parade Homes” in Colorado Springs.
The wood work in this home includes paneling on the walls and ceiling in the entry, the beautiful paneling on the curved staircase, the arched ceiling barrel vaults under the stairs, the paneled entry and pass through into the kitchen, the beautiful trim on the north wall of windows, the paneling rising 34 feet on the natural stone fireplace, the 7 ¼” base, the 4 ¼” trim on all the flat arched windows, the luxurious cabinetry, the paneled arched entries from the bedrooms into their individual bathrooms, the handmade stair case balusters, the intricate, detailed, wood, octagon platforms installed at the ridge of all cathedral ceilings, from which to hang the chandeliers, and, the three, massive, amazing timber frame beams in the great room constructed to appear as authentic timber framing, down to the detail of the oak pegs. All of this highly intricate wood detail was hand crafted. All of the wood work was constructed of solid Alder 1 x lumber, Alder moldings and Alder veneered plywood, finely sanded, stained and clear coated. Every seam, every joint, often requiring steaming and bending of the moldings and other materials is absolutely perfect. Eliot made sure of that, down to the finest detail.
Even more impressive than his undisputed skills as a craftsman in wood, is Eliot’s personal code of ethics. He is a wonderful young man who is completely honest and you can always rest assured that he has your best interest at heart and every cut, every nail, every brad, every joint; every step of the project will be perfect. It is a matter of personal pride with him as well as his personal integrity.
If you are searching for the finest in finish carpentry or any type of construction from wood, I would strongly urge you to look no further than Eliot Schauland and Schauland Construction. You will be awe struck with the end result and glad you made that choice.
We will be ever grateful for the magnificent masterpiece in wood that Elliott created for us.
Sincerely,
Dr. Charles M. Pullen

Remodel
"I love my kitchen! Trust me, not so long ago I
couldn't have said that. The cabinets were dark and ugly and the counter tops were dingy and worn with burn marks, which always made them
appear to be dirty. Even the butcher-block portion was stained and dull
looking. It was time for a remodel.
I had heard about Eliot so I asked him to come over and give me an estimate on a remodel. We agreed on a price and he got right to work. Although there was so much to do he was able to quickly make things happen so that he met the promised deadline. He always was cognizant of my wishes regarding the costs accrued while still helping me to realize my dream of an efficient and beautiful outcome. It has been a couple of years since the remodel but I am still impressed with Eliot's time management on this project and his professionalism in seeing that it got done in an appropriate time with great results. I would recommend him to anyone who wants the best remodel and wants it done on time. It was a great experience and this kitchen just keeps on giving."
