Stephen had a cancellation this so came within a few days after I called him to do the jobs. He works efficiently, cleaning after himself as he goes. He is a perfectionist and does thorough and precise work.

He came to my house, looked everything over (including crawling into the attic) in order to give some advice on what needs to be done.   It's a minor job, but I needed some advice on what he thought I should do.  He took time to answer all my questions and give his thoughts.  He did this on his own time and as a favor to me.  He is very busy at this time, but I will keep him in mind for in the future. A very nice man to talk with and one that will give all the time and help that he can.   I thank him for his advice.  A good man.

Stephen was very professional, and did an incredible job. My 2-story house was a challenge to wash, but Scott tackled it well and now it looks great. I would definitely recommend his services.

I requested a quote for tile repair. He explained that he was not accepting new clients until his current clients' needs were met. He responded within a few hours of my original email and I am thankful for his quick, professional response which allowed me to move forward with other vendors.

When I called, he was with a customer, so he called me back shortly, as promised.  He promptly came to look at the townhouse and give me a quote, which he emailed shortly thereafter. He did the work a couple of days later.  I had read his good reviews and saw that he was experienced. I soon found out that he is knowledgeable and has a strong work ethic. From start to finish, he was courteous, punctual, professional, and kept his word every step of the way. I was pleased with the excellent job he did, and I would recommend him and use him again.

He replied immediately to my call, gave me an estimate the same day, and did the work the following day. When he and his assistant started work he quickly identified another plumbing issue that needs to be fixed.  Instead of throwing up his hands and abandoning the job until we got the plumbing work done, he came up with a great solution:  patch most of the drywall, but also put in an access panel so that the plumbing repairs could be done easily in the future. The drywall patch was expertly done:  a very good match with the existing wall texture.  They obviously took a great deal of care with the job even though it's not in a highly visible location. Cleanup was thorough.  I'd definitely call them again.

Stephen and James did a fabulous job for me.  I am more than satisfied.  They cleaned off all the accumulated mold, mildew, moss, stains and just the  accumulated grunge from all surfaces on my house.  At job's completion, Stephen walked with me around the whole house making sure I was satisfied with his work.  It was a pleasure doing business with someone who is good to his word and  goes out of his way to make sure that you are happy.   Stephen will definitely go on my short list as a reputable handyman.

New HomeThe pressure washing job was extremely well done. Helping me move my washer & dryer inside was an extra I needed done. Stephen was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I will definitely use him again and recommend him to those who need a handyman.

  I showed Stephen all of the places i wanted something done, what I wanted and what he thought. He explained what he could do, usually with several options from which I could choose. After he finished he had me look it over and wanted to make sure that it was just what I wanted. Several times he offered to do some little additional thing - usually for no additional cost. Stephen was very quiet, did not talk much but was willing to explain what/why he was doing something a particular way. i have no hesitation about recommending Stephen.  He is good at what he does and I believe him to be a very trustworthy person.

Stephen went above and beyond to help me out knowing I was out-of-town and my daughter and her roommates needed help fast.  He went out to the house after hours and worked into the night to help me out and this from a handyman I had never worked with prior.  He is a good man and does very good work at a fair price.  I highly recommend Stephen......
Response from Stephen J. Scott Handyman Gainesville Florida

"When [Member name removed] contacted me and said his daughter and her roommates needed help, I immediately thought of my own daughter and how I would want someone to help her in a time of need. I am touched that [Member name removed] expressed such concern for his daughter in a day and age when so many fathers have totally abandoned their families and children. I count it a privilege to be called back to do additional work. [Member name removed] and his daughter were a pleasure to work for. You can tell they take pride in the ownership of their property and the safety of all their family, friends and fellow people. I believe I was able to save them a lot of money by providing a plug-in motion sensor light so that they would not have to pay full price for an electrician to "hard wire" a separate line. By contracting me to do the repairs, [Member name removed] was able to provide for his daughter’s well-being and allow him the free time from having to travel to Gainesville to take care of the needed repairs! Thank-You [Member name removed]!"

"[removed member name] and I have done several projects together over several years. I’ve always found him to be a consummate gentleman. [member name removed] and his wife were always a pleasure to work with. [member name removed] owned “The Palace”, a palatial property in a very prestigious neighborhood in the Gainesville area. [member name removed] took obvious pride in his property, and yet he is a very humble man. I found it refreshing to see [member name removed] and his wife go to lunch together often. I looked forward to working with [member name removed] and his wife and will miss them since they have moved out of town. Thank-You [member name removed] for allowing me to be of service to you and yours!"
