Scott has been involved in several of our home projects over the last 10+ years. Theyâ ve included a complete bathroom remodel (new flooring, lighting and fan fixtures, vanity installation, replaced wall tile), installing hallway/stairway wall moulding, interior painting, garage floor epoxy coating (looked great, will have him do again in our new home) and needed household repairs and maintenance (drywall repair (flawless), replaced smoke detectors and a door lock set) Projects are discussed thoroughly before work begins and we appreciate his input and opinions regarding our ideas. If he doesnâ t handle certain work (rarely) Scott is able to recommend someone who can get the job done. Scott does professional work at a reasonable price and is easy to deal with throughout the process. We initially used him as a painter but have since learned his home improvement skills are many. We will continue to hire him for our future home projects.

Scott painted the interior of our home. He also removed some kitchen cabinets. He was on time each day, cleaned up and made sure to cover all floors and furniture. We used him in the past to paint the exterior of our home and he always does a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend him as your painter! AND, we have 2 big dogs and they loved him too!

Scott was highly professional, meticulous, and cleaned up after himself daily. In addition to painting our entire home interior, he also installed trim for us, painted our front porch, installed new interior doors and hardware, and updated a railing with new wrought iron balusters. All of the work that he did was very high in quality.

Had to figure out how to cover gap in ceiling and cabinet . I used duct tape!
Response from S.M.S. Decorating Service
"Added rigid plastic 4" diameter PVC pipe to a existing dryer vent location, that was working inadequately . I removed the flexible vent work that had lint completely blocking the pipe. I ended up shortening the system by 8' . The builder ran the setup and wasn't even connected to the exterior vent. The Gap in the ceiling was in a added access panel and needed to be there based on usefulness of access panel. I believe owner was concerned about spiders from ceiling space."

Scott recaulked a tub and replaced caulk around bathroom and kitchen counters. I called him again when I needed a drain plug installed and toilets adjusted. He did beautiful work and even emailed me updates on the work while I was out of the country. I have recommended him to my friends and will call him again when I need expert work done!

Scott showed up on time and did the repairs in a very timely manner. He has to tear up and replace rotted wood under a toilet. He repaired the ceiling that the toilet was leaking in to. He had to return the next day to do additional work and again he showed up on time. I will be using him to do additional work,
Response from S.M.S. Decorating Service
"Flooring beneath toilet and ceiling below was completely rotted away. Removed multiple layers of flooring and ply wood, then reinforced area and replaced plywood and framing. Plaster in closet below was removed and replaced with drywall and retaped. I will be returning in a month to replace existing bathroom flooring with a completely new wood vinyl planking, replaced toilet."

For the replacement of long boards above the garage door, Scott should have had a helper to assist him in installing the new boards.
Response from S.M.S. Decorating Service
"The job went off without a hitch. There was no need for additional help in this situation. The boards covered a span of a two garage and measured 12' ea. I don't understand why he thought I should have had a helper. Yes, it would have been easier but completed the task with no problems or complaints."

Scott did a great job removing old and installing new shutters on the front of our home. He was quick to respond to our search for a handyman, quick to visit to see what was in store, and quick to schedule the job and get it done. Looks great and the cost was very reasonable. We've already discussed having Scott do some new projects in the next couple of months.
