Schleining Construction

Introduction: What I do: When I mention I can build anything you can dream up, let’s just say, I have yet to meet a project I couldn’t eventually figure out. How I work: It can be really fun to translate a concept into three-dimensional reality. Perhaps it’s the chest you’d like to have to protect grandma’s china; the sculpture that really needs a nice pedestal; the staircase you’d like to update; or the new appliances you’d like to install on your boat. Use your imagination. • How do I know I’ll get what I truly want when I might not be sure myself? • How much will it cost? • How long will it take to build? • What about incorporating glass, metal and stone? Lighting? Mechanical devices? Getting started: During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss the function and style of the project. It’s very helpful if you have sketches or photos of what you envision. Even if it’s a photo of something entirely unrelated, you might like the style of the piece or some detail, or perhaps just the color. Everything I do is subject to your prior approval. Depending on the complexity of what you have in mind, I start by sketching and then drawing it, perhaps even building a mock-up or two until we get it right. Along the way, we choose materials and finishes. Once we both understand the scope of the project, we agree on a cost proposal. You can start the process by collecting some photos and just thinking about why you respond to a particular style or color. I’ll take it from there. I am looking forward to meeting with you. - Lon Schleining
