Do you enjoy setting your own money on fire? If so, hire Scott!
This guy did half the job of remodeling my mother's house before she fired him because his subcontractors literally set the HVAC unit on fire. They probably did this because he doesn't pay them; he just takes your money and lies to the subcontractors by saying you didn't pay him. My mother found this out the hard way when his subcontractors started putting liens on her house because they thought she owed them money when she'd been paying Scott, her general contractor, all along.
When I visited her house in the winter while he was still working on it, no one had properly covered the open roof and there was literally water just raining directly into the house. The subcontractors left actual diarrhea in her toilet in the basement even though they themselves had been the ones to turn off the plumbing. There was also a literal child working on her roof. The subcontractor tried to say it was okay because he was just showing him the ropes. That's only what I saw myself when I visited that winter -- when there was even someone working at the house; seemed like no one was working the majority of the time.
It's been several years. My mother had to hire multiple people on her own to fix his work, including an electrician who basically had to redo everything she'd paid Scott to do. She went through a whole lawsuit to get the liens off the house, too. What a waste of money.
Today, a piece of siding Scott's subcontractors put up randomly fell off the house. When I looked at it, there was barely any glue or plaster or whatever it is that connects it to the house. We're just waiting for more siding to fall off now... read more
