Took about three months. The granite counter-top was incorrectly measured, as well as late, so the dishwasher would not fit, and a low wall had to be demolished and a new one built to accommodate the change. Quality of the reconstruction was poor. The old cabinets were repainted. The finished quality was indifferent. Several doors were incorrectly reattached, and remain so to this day. At one point we were washing our dishes for over a week with a hose under a tree. The dishwasher has never been installed correctly. Covid-19 precautions were usually non-existent. The workmen were friendly enough. The owner claimed they did not have to repaint the lower lever inner cabinets and charged us more for that. Much of the paint was abandoned in open cans oin the Florida Room. They started chasing us for the balance payments within a few weeks. I didn't even know the job was done. It didn't seem finished to me. When I tried to voice or text the owner, he did not respond; rather he ignored us, but he sure responded when I didn't finish the payments; he started calling every day! There was no supervisor on or off site, no one to discuss issues with except one carpenter. I had to show one of the workers how to fit a cabinet, as he had installed most of them upside down. The company fought with the granite company. It was at certain times a disorganized mess. The finished product was not to a professional standard. I say this as a former Licenced Florida Building contractor (retired). I will need to hire workers to set the problems right. I have asked in an email and a text for compensation, but no answer has been received to this request.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We understand you were unhappy with some of our work and we were happy to come out and do whatever was needed to remedy the situation. You decided against that and we accepted that. We appreciate the chance to reflect on our work and improve on it. Thanks again.

This was the worst contractor we have ever hired!! We hired Stephen to power wash our home & decks. Also, they were to be stained!! Two workers were sent out and they didn't start working till noon and ended at 4. Our house was left with major streaking all over the place; the decks unfinished!! I put a call in to Stephen that night and asked him to please come out the next day so that he could see the awful work that was performed! Stephen informed me he did not need to come out. I could not believe this. I told him the house and the decks needed to be redone he explained to me he did not know when that could be done. I had to keep calling him until he finally sent out one of the workers who did redo the house, but not the decks! The next thing I know, I get a bill from Stephen telling me that work was performed at that time. I told him I will pay him for the house seeing someone came back out for that and I will pay him half for the decks because half the job was done. I've fired him and he was not concerned at all of the improper work that was performed! One of the workers popped siding off the house and screens were popping off. They also broke a bush in front of my house and knocked all of my landscaping bricks out. I had to get him to put my siding back and the rest he just left. Stephen was totally unconcerned with all of this. He explained to me until I paid him, his workers couldn't get paid. How awful is that? Do not believe anything that Stephen tells you about his quality work!!!

Very responsive to initial call for estimate. Estimate was within a couple of dollars of others. Used Stephen before so used again. Initial estimate was kicked to my junk folder but after that mix up all went well. Good quality work. Will use in the future for other jobs.

I was very pleased with Stephen's work. Stephen gave me a detailed written estimate prior to the work. He was courteous and the work was done in a timely manner. He was also flexible in his payment arrangements. I could not pay the full amount at the time of service. He allowed me to make two payments. I would highly recommend Stephen for any household work.

Never followed through on any of the estimates. Sidewalk repair was started then the guy left and I never heard from him or Scott. Stove vent was checked out and planned but I could never get in touch with the person doing the work so I had someone else do the job. Never got an estimate for the deck.

I'm giving this fellow C's not for any defect in his workmanship -- there was no work done. But rather for a lack of communication. He arrived promptly to look at the job and was pleasant to talk to. He said he'd have someone come to take measurements. So far; so good. However, there was no call back and no estimate done. This may not be all that unusual, but it seems to me, that it's only common courtesy to tell someone that its not a job they can take.

I had Stephen Scott come out to estimate my bathroom remodel. He barely let me talk and express what I wanted done, instead HE TOLD ME what I wanted. This was my first time dealing with a contractor, since I usually do all the remodeling work myself, and I already saw this was going to be a horrible experience. I originally wanted a quote for some electrical work, a shower pan, and some walls and doors moved, he left they're thinking he was getting the whole remodel job! I also wanted a lot more work done throughout the house, including more electrical and a kitchen remodel, but after we left the bathroom area I just wanted him out the door! When he asked how soon I wanted the work done, he made a comment "I have about 30 bids on my desk I have to do". Needless to say, I never heard back from him, not that I would have gone forth with his services anyway.

Mr. Scott was very responsive to my initial inquiry and all follow-up contacts. He was very professional and provided a reasonable estimate in a timely manner. Once I approved the estimate, the work started quickly and was completed quickly and accurately. The replacement of the hot and cold valves for the washing machine was not as complicated as was anticipated, and Mr. Scott reduced the cost accordingly. All work was done to my expectation, and I was completely satisfied. I'll definitely work with him again.

Overall, it went quite well. But, the quality of the work depended quite a bit upon the employee who came. Some of the craftsmen who work for House Doctors do excellent work. Some of them, however, seem to overlook very important details like centering a light fixture or ensuring that the light box is on straight. So, overall, I recommend them, but I also recommend checking their work closely and providing feedback each day.

Estimates were provided promptly and service was completed professionally and on time.
Description of Work: We have had multiple services provided by Stephen Scott Quality Services at various times over the past six (more or less) years. The price and date (approximate) shown above was for removing a fluorescent fixture recessed in the ceiling, patching, plastering, painting and installing two chandeliers. At various other times we have also had additional under-cabinet lights installed, exterior T-111 repairs, exterior painting and installation of Hardie siding on three sides of the house. We have always been pleased with the quality of the work performed and have found the prices to be competitive.

We called Quality Services and Stephen came out the next day. He looked at the room and dropped off the estimate the following day (handwritten and very specific). We were in a hurry - guests were coming, so they were kind enough to fit us in quickly. The work took about two weeks. They were very professional - these guys have been doing this for a long time. They put paper down so they wouldn't track dirt in our house (like my house was clean, right?). They even got along with the dogs.( This was our second good experience with this company - they fixed our porch for us about 10 years ago.) The guy who did the paint and trim was a wizard. They completed the work on time and the room looks GREAT. Our guests used it last weekend. Yahoo!!!!!!

The power went out in a couple of rooms. We called Quality Service Stephen Scott to track down the problem. He came out within a couple of hours and took care of everything. He is a handyman who works in our area. He was very reasonably priced for what he did. Our experience with him was very good.
