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.
Description of Work: Provided excellent information concerning a future job I need to have done.

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.
Description of Work: Cleaned the siding and roof of my townhouse. Did 2 repairs I had asked for, and 3 others that he noticed and took the initiative to fix (at no additional cost).

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.
Description of Work: repaired floor-to-ceiling hole in drywall left after plumbing repairs were done

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.
Description of Work: Stephen completed a roof cleaning job that I had started but hadn't finished. He hand cleaned and pressure washed my house and screened in lanai.

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.
Description of Work: Stephen did a number of different things - 4 days of work, repaired ceilings in a pantry, bathroom and bedroom, repaired damage under the "overhang' of outside roof, installed new sump pump (that I purchased), prepared (lot of hard work) and repainted a concrete porch and large adjoining concrete area. Stephen is a very nice, polite, patient very knowledgeable and skilled person. It was a pleasure to have him in and around my house for several days. Everything was fixed the way I hoped it would be - and for less than I thought it would cost.

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......
Description of Work: Stephen has actually worked on our rental house twice in the last 60 days. He helped close up some entry points for little critters and also came out and installed a security light and fixed two windows.

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]!

The space was tight (behind lighting and between cabinets). He not only partially disassembled and reassembled the light, but replaced a bent clasp in the blind mechanism. He was on time and very capable.

Mr. Scott responded to my call for service by coming by to give an estimate for the work the same day I called. He sent an itemized email with details of the estimated price and an expected date for beginning the work. The evening before the day he was to start work, he called to let me know his scheduled delayed him by one day. He arrived with his helper at the stated time and did a thorough job of cleaning the house roof and sidewalk. He purchased and installed the 2 fluorescent bulbs for the garage and after checking the motion sensor light that was not working correctly, purchased a new one to replace it. He and his helper, Chris, were both accommodating of workmen who needed access to the garage while they were pressure washing the roof. Mr. Scott is attentive to detail and takes pride in his work. I would ask him again when I need work done.

Stephen is a kind, honest handy man.
Description of Work: Stephen painted our entire home. He painted the entire inside (walls, inside closets, trim), as well as the garage and exterior. I had ordered some new shutters online and he painted those and hung them too. Stephen is extremely fair in his pricing and does good work. He is also willing to come back and do touch-ups should you notice any areas that got missed. I would highly recommend Stephen Scott.

Everything went great. Mr. Scott was very prompt to arrive for work every day, took obvious pride in his workmanship, and did a wonderful job. He was very professional yet personable and was good with our dogs.
Description of Work: Mr. Scott removed all the leaves and debris from our roof, checked the roof to see if there were an obvious signs of leaks or damage that needed repaired and replaced one gutter guard that was dislodged. He power washed the patio and the area around the pool and very little debris ended up in the pool - I was amazed! He also powerwashed the front porch, walkway, and driveway. He painted the ceiling of our family room/breakfast area/kitchen as well as one of the bedrooms.
