Excellent in every respect. I’d hire Scott again and I will as soon as the dust settles. Oh, I don’t mean to suggest Scott didn’t clean up. In fact, he left the place spotless and that’s saying something working with drywall repair.
Description of Work: Drywall, electrical and a little creative carpentry to fix a design flaw in the bathroom. He filled open space between bedroom and bathroom and added a door. Who would build a bathroom without a door? Don’t know but Scott fixes it.

Scott did a great job of planning work so that we were only without the use of the room for 8 hours. His finish details were faultless. He is very competent.

Scott gave us a prompt quote on the flooring, which we were very happy with. He and Scottie began working in the basement, removing old carpet from the floor and the stairs. They installed beautiful, waterproof vinyl planks. It was a transformation, to say the least! They did an amazing job! Next, they began working on the main floor, removing old laminate and carpet. They discovered water damage to the sub-floor, due to water coming in under an improperly sealed front door. Scott and Scottie removed the damaged plywood and replaced it. At this point, we decided to go ahead and get new tile around our fireplace and also had them do the electrical work required so that we could have a larger TV on the wall above our fireplace. The new Pergo flooring is so beautiful, and their tile work around the fireplace is gorgeous beyond my expectations! They expertly installed our new TV, too. Scott and Scottie are very pleasant to work with, they cleaned everything up at the end of each day, and their work is of the highest quality, with great attention to detail! In talking with them, I discovered they do a wide range of home improvement projects, and we'll be getting quotes from them for additional projects in the future. Whether your job is big or small, give Scott a call, you won't be disappointed!
Description of Work: We needed all of the flooring replaced in the basement and on the main level of our home. We also decided to get new tile around our fireplace, and some electrical work done to enable us to have a larger TV mounted on the wall above the fireplace.

Scott Kinsey is a man of integrity. Not only is a very nice, honest person, he does outstanding work at a fair price. Very flexible in working with the granite people, tile people, glass people, etc in adjusting his schedule to ours. in fact, at one point Scott was on another job while waiting for our shower glass to be installed and made a special trip from northern indiana just to finish up some work in time for the glass person.

Scott and Scottie worked me into their schedule right away, and showed up right on time at the appointed hour. Their work was excellent and they cleaned the area up afterwards. What I really liked was their willingness to do the small extra things like touch-up paint that made the replaced material fit right in. Work was provided at the quoted price, which was very reasonable. I would most definitely use this company in the future.

We just had the job completed. He came once in November then we had to order some materials and he came back just yesterday and finished it all up and he did a beautiful job. He showed up when he was supposed to show up which was amazing and he was very professional, very skilled and very detailed and cleaned up after himself and he was just awesome. We would highly recommend him. The doors matched exactly with the other ones in our home. We had some other estimates and he came in with the best rate. We have recommended him to some of our neighbors already.
Description of Work: He put a door where there wasn't a door. He made a hole in a wall and made us a doorway and then he put up a double door in another spot in the room. He ordered the doors. He painted them. He did the trim. He did some work with our hardwood floor and fixed that for us.

Very satisfied with the work. Arrived on time. He needed to expand the cutout because the new sink I purchased, though the same size as my old sink (33x22), didn't fit in the existing cutout. Verified the new sink (Swanstone granite) required silcone rather than plumbers putty on the drain baskets. The new plumbing underneath is a lot neater than what was there. Returned the next day in the evening to fix a separate plumbing issue. Scott has performend several other projects around our house (replace siding, replace hose spigots and intall shut off valves, install interior doors) and we've been satisifed with the quality/cost. Have recommended to others and received positive feedback. Will hire again in future.

I started out as doing this project myself. When it came down to it, I just didn't have the time or skills needed. Scott came out for the free estimate and was great. His estimate was less than any other we had. Then I started changing my mind about what I wanted done. He was patient and responsive as I asked tons of questions. He gave great advice on types of materials to use. When I finally knew what I really wanted done, he came out for a second free estimate which was less than the first due simpler material installation. Scott worked hard and finished the job in less time than he estimated. He left the house clean each day and was careful about walking on the carpets, etc. Scott did a wonderful job, and I know we will have him back again.
Description of Work: Scott removed sub-floor. He put down new subfloor, 1/4" plywood , vinyl flooring, and baseboard in our bathroom. He installed "Denshield" backer board and "flexstone" wall surround in our shower with 4 corner shelves. He repaired drywall and textured ceiling bulkhead.

See above details. All work was performed as per expectation. He was at the worksite at an agreed upon time, performed the work very efficiently and expertly. and left the site as clean as it was before work began. Would definitely recommend Scott for carpentry work and handy-man type tasks. Very pleasant to work with. His office assistant (his wife) was very efficient at conveying information about work times and dates and making sure Scott got the information.
Description of Work: Scott removed and replaced the existing screen wire on an outside porch. He also replaced some of the trim work and installed a screen door. Did an excellent job.

They were excellent to work with. He was prompt, conscientious about his work and did an excellent job overall. The painting work was top-notch and we are very happy with the other repairs he helped with. Scheduling was within a reasonable time frame and he was much more responsive than other contractors I've worked with in the past. I will definitely be calling him again in the future if we have need of repairs or painting.
Description of Work: He rebuilt a step in our basement, rehung some siding which had come loose, fixed the island countertop in our kitchen, recaulked/repaired a window ledge and painted 3 rooms of our house.

Scott came to the house within a week of our initial conversation, went with us to the fixture store to pick out what we wanted, and went to work. Everything was done within a couple days.
Description of Work: Scott Kinsey redid an upstairs bathroom for us. He pulled out all the existing fixtures (completely gutted it) and put in all new fixtures - including shower/tub, new floor and new paint. We are very pleased with the work and timeliness of the work. We will definitely use Scott again!

Scott, the owner, came out to do an estimate. Throughout the estimate, he made lots of suggestions on alternate methods to do something that we hadn't even thought about, and all of them were less expensive than what we were thinking originally. He was always on-time and professional. I can't say enough good things about his work. He even came over on a Saturday to finish something because he knew we were on a deadline. I will definitely use Scott again.
Description of Work: This list of things that Scott did for us is expansive, and everything he did was perfect. He really is a jack of all trades and a super guy to have on speed dial. Here are the highlights. - We had a problem with the toilet ring in our downstairs bath which then caused a pretty significant leak underneath the flooring. Scott helped us figure out the most cost effective solution which ultimately ended up being moving the floor from the laundry room and then laying ceramic tile in the laundry room. It looks awesome and was significantly less than replacing all of the floor in the house. - He replaced one of our Cedar boards on the outside of the house, including priming and painting. - Scott replaced two areas of drywall in the ceiling and textured it perfectly to match the existing. - He replaced the flooring in our master bath. - Scott replaced the fan in a bathroom and fixed the exhaust to make it work properly. - He replaced roof vents. When he was on the roof, he noticed our gutters needed cleaned and even did that for us, since he was already up there. - He laid a row of tile above our vanity to hide a couple of imperfections in the way the original work was done. - Scott even painted our entire downstairs. He really can do anything.
