Scott Remodeling LLC

Every remodel project is stressful and usually takes longer to complete than originally estimated. Those are just the facts of construction. Paul remodeled my 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in 2017. I thought it might we worth sharing what his work is like 5 years later. All of the work Paul did has held up well. The hardwood floors he installed look as good today as they did when first installed. The bathrooms were a total gut job and Paul totally transformed them. They are 1000% better than the original bathrooms. The changes and updates he made to the kitchen still serve us well. Most reviews are written immediately following completion of a project and I hope it is helpful to hear from someone who’s project was completed a few years ago and who continues to be pleased with Paul’s work.

Paul and his team did a great job, they arrived timely, communicated issues, and left the work area clean each evening. Obviously in this industry contractors have several jobs going at any time. Paul did a great job balancing projects and keeping us informed of what aspect would be next and who would be coming. They referred me to a shower glass door company and a granite company, both of which were excellent.

Buyer beware, you get what you pay for (and sometimes you do not even get that) In our circumstance, we scheduled with Paul Scott 8 months prior to the start of our project, and he had 3 months to complete the project. He did not start the build out until the last week of the 3 months, then asked for 2 more additional weeks (we had to relocate paying renters). Some work was not started or done because he had never scheduled with the subcontractors. When something was not done properly and addressed, Paul would never admit it was not correct, and would try and talk his out of it. Paul contacted us when he said he was done (we live out of state and had to leave due to how far past scheduling he was) and demanded payment in full. He was leaving for vacation and said, if we did not pay him in full, he did not have the money to pay the subcontractors and they would go without money during the holidays (this was 4 days before Christmas). We FedEx'd him a check for payment in full, then found out the next day when our cleaning person walked in, that they had not finished construction, there were toilets in the living room, and the unit was filled with construction debris, garbage cans, etc. We contacted Paul and his response was, he did not appreciate our frustration with him. There was damage to the unit (carpets) that he just never would reply to and never fixed, and he took items (2 sink backsplashes, that he was going to have reduced because they installed the sinks w/o properly measuring for the backsplash...and then tried to tell us that we did not need them) that he never returned with. When we contacted him about them, he response was...I cannot find them. We went with Scott Remodeling because the bid was less than the other contractors, but we found out through the process that Paul Scott does not stand behind his work or his word.

After a 1 minute estimate on site a deal was reached. We would purchase fixtures, lights, vanity and tile and contractor would supply the rest. Once permits were were issued a two week time frame was given. Weeks went by and work was not started even though the permit was waiting at town hall. A meeting between the contractor and the the building manager was not kept by contractor. A dirty work site was constantly issue with the building management. Bathtub was chipped during job and contractor only agreed to use touch up paint for repair. Work took months instead of weeks. Lies as to contractors whereabouts via phone. On one occasion I stumbled upon contractor on another job and he said it was an emergency job. When job was finally completed several items needed to be put on a punch list for repair. Contractor would send workers to fix items and they would constantly ask if their work was good enough for being considered completed. I began referring to the company as "good enough contracting". Payment was made in full and I never publicly complained till now. A year after the job was completed. Cracking grout, leaking tub drain, loose fixtures are just a few complaints. I have all documentation and dates of all my accusations for review. Homeowner beware!

Great job. The crew is efficient and the work is well done!

It went really well, the team was professional, efficient, courteous, and did a great job. I would hire them again.

Paul did a fantastic job! He and his crew were extremely detail oriented, stayed on schedule and were on hand for punch list items after completion. I have just hired them again for an upcoming renovation.

The project went extremely well, although patience was needed at times because of the amount of work that needed to be done.

Paul is awesome to work with. It's not our primary home, so a lot of decisions were done by phone or text--a new experience for me. Finished product is great!!! He is completely trustworthy with excellent workmanship.

Great! Paul was great to work with. Made great suggestions. Started and finished the work on schedule. Great follow up with a few items we decided to change. Highly recommend.

The condo was built in 1972 and not much had been done to our unit since, so a complete gut of the unit down to the studs was required. We removed walls, replaced flooring, all plumbing, appliances and completely replaced the kitchen including cabinets and counter tops. This project required electrical, plumbing, tiling, carpentry and AC work. Paul and his team were very competent in every phase of the project and the detail on the finished product is outstanding.

Terrible, horrible, not worth the money or time it took to do this job.

.

It went very well. A couple of last minute delays but all is good. I would highly recommend.

During the consultation (June 2014) Scott provided excellent description of services and told me it would be approximately 1 month before start date. He explained that during the demolition process all areas would be covered and protected from the debris. Unfortunately, nothing was covered and every physical surface was covered in airborne debris.. He sent cleaners in twice to try to rectify the situation to no avail. Next, there was a coupon offered on Angie's list that he would not honor. His comment: "That is still up There?" In his estimate, he told me that some of the line items would be adjusted accordingly to match the actual costs. He did not adjust the inspector fee as promised and I was overcharged $130 and he double charged me for the corner seat ($100) in the master shower. When I called Scott on this descrepancy, he said he provided "extras". I have yet to find any extras and he refused to reimburse me. Let's move on to the time it took to complete the job: he left one man to complete the job and after I called Scott several times complaining about the slow progress, he assured me that his "man" was making up time by working through the weekend. I was there the whole weekend cleaning up the mess, but no workman was there making up time. When I called Scott on Monday morning, it seems his 'MAN" walked off the job and stole some of my very expensive tile. Since, I have found additional items missing from my home, i.e. extension cord $20. And who knows what else. Scott was able to recover some items, but not all. I am still missing over half of my accent tile in my guest bath which adds to the $$ owed to mean additional $150. He tells me he has the cord and he will return it, but I am still waiting. I asked for reimbursement for the above listed items, he told me to call his MAN directly. Paul Scott did not take responsibility for his own employee's theft. Now for the final comments, after his MAN abandoned the job, he said he would be sending his "A TEAM" to complete the job which is funny because I would have thought his whole team was the "A" TEAM. Well, his A Team installed the shower faucet backwards so hot is cold and cold is hot. And left grout gaps in the tile where a trail of ants were coming in and out of the wall. I would hope in good faith and to salvage his reputation, he would submit the approximate $400 owed me, especially since he did not honor the 10% coupon offered on Angie's List which would be significantly more money.

He never returned my phone call.

1st review: Paul Scott was great to work with. We made most of the plans by phone and then he took it from there, making great suggestions. Everything went well, was finished on time as promised and looks beautiful. He works in beach condos often and knows the best ways to make things work in tight spaces. Highly recommend!! Update: Before paying, be vigilant about checking every single thing, otherwise, it will NOT be corrected. Unfortunately, it was discovered that both sink faucets were incorrectly installed (handles not centered over holes, no plumbing putty used, water supply lines kinked resulting in no water pressure) - after saying the plumber would fix it, I then heard that the plumber said the faucets were "cheap" (they were not), and then the delays began, and then no answers at all. It has not been fixed so I will have a competent plumber fix this problem at my expense. Very sorry to say I will NOT be using Scott Remodeling for an upcoming kitchen remodel.

Paul Scott and his workers were wonderful. From the beginning to end. The first thing is they always showed up on time and if for some reason where not going to make it on time Paul either called or emailed me. I was informed every step of they way. They paid attention to every detail and made suggestions to make things better. Paul helped me find things that worked for my budget and never pushed anything price wise. The house looks great and the bathrooms came out better than expected.Then I started looking around the house for things he could do. He ended up painting the entire house in a week . Also fixed my garage ceiling. I would hire Paul to do anything. He is a real nice and honest person.

Paul did everthing asked of him in a professional manor.

He gave me an estimate and I accepted. He showed up and applied the coating to the roof, quickly and efficiently.

Paul Scott, very professional. Working on proposal. Would definitely recommend Paul Scott.

Scott Remodeling LLC was a nice guy. He gave me a quote and he was super nice on the phone.

Paul Scott of Scott Remodeling, LLC was a superb find in New Smyrna Beach to remodel our 2BR/2Ba condo. We had a limited time to interview contractors, the last week in November, but Paul came right over and gave us a comprehensive estimate the next day. We contacted 4 contractors in total, 1 never showed up, it took the second 3 weeks to give us an initial bid and and the 3rd never sent a bid at all. I grew up in NSB and we are planning on returning as a partial retirement place. We live in New Jersey and the prospect of a long-distance renovation made us really anxious. Paul finalized the estimate, after contacting us to see if we had any questions. We had the option of ordering things ourselves and having them delivered or he would get them for us. Ordering online gave us a larger selection but mis-deliveries and wrong order fulfillment were things that we discovered, but Paul rolled with the punches. He's up on the latest technologies and we got almost daily texts and I-phone pics from him. It was actually better than being on-site the whole time. He said he appreciated that we were so responsive with this questions. If he had any question, we got a text and a pic. My wife and I are both designers and really fussy about things most folks don't even notice, but Paul put up with our many questions. He doesn't hesitate to make suggestions or tell us when he thought our decision wasn't wise, with the reasons. work began the first week of January and he was finished by the second week in February. We had a less than 2% over-run due to the vanities we ordered not having exact specs for the plumbers to rough-in and they arrived later than expected. His tile work is unbelievable, a true artist works for him. Simply said, he does what he says he will do, when he says he will do it and for what he told you it will cost...and with a sense of humor.

We'll see. Be back in touch in February or March of 2013.

Great! Paul Scott and his helper Dave did a fantastic job. The tile guy they used was not as meticulous and a lot of his work had to be redone.
