Dear customers and friends,

As many of you are aware, I’ve retired and sold the business and have also completed my initial consulting work for the new owner. Thank you for the pleasure of working with you. It’ll be 40 years in 2024 that I founded Schnarr Craftsmen. I’m very proud of the beautiful results we achieved together.

Now, I take great pleasure in introducing the new owner Mark Conrad.

Mark is taking the business to new heights which includes rebranding the business as Schnarr Legacy Craftsmen. During the past year, Mark and I completed a number of great projects together. His craftsmanship and attention to detail were an exact match. Mark is committed to uphold the standard you have grown to expect.

With over 20 years in the industry, Mark’s knowledge is vast, his success and enjoyment come from the relationships he’s fostered over these years. He is excited to enhance the relationships with you and discuss upcoming projects you have. As well, he looks forward to building new relationships with any referrals you may have.

You’re assured of the same care and trust that has been our winning combination for 40 years.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating YOU and Schnarr Legacy Craftsmen (SLC) and the next 40 years!

Our old garage was original to the house, so circa 1934. It was small, barely one car wide, and almost unusable. My attempts to repair it during our past 30 years at the house were not all that successful.We didn't want to move, but I dreamed of a solidly built, well insulated, clean, dry, warm and usable garage. Greg and Schnarr Craftsmen prepared a design that incorporated; my ideas, all the considerations necessary to meet local building codes, setback and offset restrictions, all while maintaining the character of our neighbourhood, and still providing for a backyard and greenery. Marguerite and I were completely impressed with all the tradespeople involved in the construction. Their quality and professionalism was apparent through every step. Peter and the Schnarr Craftsmen team were first class to the point that we missed them when they completed everything and were no longer on site. Building a new structure in an old and established neighbourhood can be a special challenge. Schnarr Craftsmen met the challenge, kept to a tight schedule with work progressing on a daily basis. Our completed project has received many favourable comments from folks throughout the neighbourhood. My dream garage is now a reality thanks to Greg and the Schnarr Craftsmen team.
