Proof of Performance

The most outstanding qualities that Shoe has demonstrated are integrity, honesty, problem solving, people skills, and dedication… He is a self starter and worked whatever hours were required to get the job done, meaning late nights and long weekends. He can be trusted completely in whatever task is assigned to him.”

The best decision you can make for your project is to engage with a knowledgeable, professional and passionate consultant. I am confident in saying that no one fits that bill more to a T than Michael “Shoe” Schuster

— Erin Stephenson, Co-Owner, Atticus Hotel


Shoe turned my project completely around and from a potentially disastrous situation he created the Energy Trust of Oregon’s Top Performing Renovation of 2016… I am incredibly proud to walk into the building and my dream would simply have not become a reality without Shoe.

— Chris Calerco, Owner of the Breathe Building


I was very touched when I visited with your representatives, Ev Galloni and Mike Schuster. They demonstrated beautiful team spirit, company pride and integrity. It is clear that this would never have resulted were it not for cost consciousness (without compromising quality) throughout the project.”

— Christina L. Friedhoff, President St. Mary’s
