Our home sustained smoke damage from last years Holiday Farm Fire. Pemco insurance recommended Pete VanderBogart from Michael Scnear Contracting to assist us with these repairs. From the very first call Pete has been professional and responsive, overseeing the cleanup of our attic, heat and air ducts (and still to be done garage). The workers and services he arranged have been prompt, courteous and great to work with and Pete always followed up to be sure we were satisfied. Pete also went above and beyond and offered to provide much needed barn doors for my studio - a 'wish list' item but very necessary to my work. Pete arranged to have doors custom made by McClusky Cabinets. Michael Scnear came out to measure and shortly thereafter Pete, Michael and crew delivered and installed these beautiful applewood barn doors. Though there was an issue with the install I felt completely comfortable discussing these details with Pete. We were touched by the very personal and thorough service we received and are thankful we had someone like Pete to oversee these projects. Great service we highly recommend!

As a real estate broker, it is essential that efficiency, quality and attention to detail is performed. This company exceeded my expectations. I recommend them for my clients when they are in a pinch to make improvements to list to sell. They cleaned up our home from the fire and built my new office to match our home. -- Thank You very much Pete! -- Judy Casad, Broker with Windermere Real Estate - Lane County

I have used Scnear Contracting on 2 occasions. The first was after the recent fires in my area. Luckily my house survived, but, needed a great deal of cleaning and some repairs. Peter handled all the cleaning scheduling, dealt with the cleaning companies, repair contractors and the insurance company making the process easy and stress free. Everything was done quickly and efficiently. Peter was at the house to meet every contractor and make sure everyone was preforming to his standards. Other houses on my street that had less damage and started clean up sooner are still being worked on. (6 months later). The other project was after the fire. I had Scnear built a studio for my wife’s office/art room. Again, I was very impressed with Micheal, Peter and their crew. They showed up as scheduled, work efficiently and did very good work. I believe they did a very good job, more importantly, my wife thinks they a great job.
