Scott replaced our old mailbox and post quickly and to our neighborhood specifications, and we couldn’t be more pleased with how good everything looks and works! Would definitely use him again!

Scott designed and installed a beautiful bookshelf/cabinets unit in my study. He made it so it fit in perfectly with the already present cabinetry. We met maybe twice at the beginning to discuss the plans and he returned just when he said he would to install the unit. Everything was painted before installation so when he left the job was complete and beautifully done.

Scott Adams has done exceptional work for us. He is a true master in the art of woodworking. He remade our open shelving into gorgeous paneling as well as taking on the challenge of a 18x24 roof top lattice railing with its complicated chinoiserie design. Scott was able to replicate the original design perfectly.
Scotts attention to detail is extraordinary. To do the roof project he took both measurements and photos and then went to work on it in his shop. We did not see him until he had remade all the railing and was ready to install them. Not only was the work perfect, he actually completed the demolition of the existing railings and installation of the new ones in a weeks time. There was no downtime or delay whatsoever from start to finish.

Scott is a person of admirable character. He actually does what he says he is going to do! He is a good listener and speaks honestly with you about the scope of your project so you understand what it entails and its cost. He then presents a very detailed estimate. In both our projects, the estimate was actually the final bill without any surprise additions.
Scott is incredibly meticulous and it is evident in his work habits. At the completion of each days work, the job site was completely clean. There was not a trace left of his daily activity. He brought in and took away everything used or removed everyday leaving the area where he worked pristine.

Scott is an 11 on scale of 1 to 10. He is a master crafts man and a person who will make your experience extremely positive while giving you exceptional results!

Scott has completed numerous projects on our home so far including building gorgeous built ins for our living room, painting kitchen cabinets, fixing wood rot on sliders, installing beadboard, double ovens and creating a display shelf with brass railing in the kitchen. His attention to detail, ability to take design concepts and translate into a finished product, care with which he approaches each project, timeliness to complete a requested project and finish work is exceptional. He genuinely cares about ensuring complete satisfaction and is extremely knowledgeable about each project I've presented. I highly recommend Scott Adams for any home projects.

Excellent online reviews led us to choose Adams Home Improvement to replace our front deck steps and a few rotted posts and handrails. We are thoroughly pleased with his work and attitude; and plan to use Scott again real soon with another project. Very professional and easy to communicate with and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

We hired Adam's Home Improvement to prepare drawings, build, and complete the install of a large wall of built in bookcases. Scott presented ideas I had not considered and also solutions to potential problems I did not recognize! We love the finished product which completely transformed our main floor with the built-ins as new focal point! We would hire Scott again!

Scott was involved in our project from beginning to end. He helped us improve our design. He sourced materials in creative ways that achieved our desired aesthetic. He counseled us on where to save so that we used our budget strategically. He was professional, dependable, and a pleasure to work with.

Scott repaired rotten wood surrounding several of the windows on our house. The quality of his work is unparalleled - it looks great. Even more important to me, though, is that Scott is fair, honest, clear, and easy to work with. You never have to worry if you are getting taken advantage of and you know the end product will be high quality and at a reasonable cost. What more could you ask for?

Scott Adams constructed a new fence and gate for our backyard and it is wonderful. He was very courteous, extremely professional, and always did what he said he would do. In fact, it was a pleasure having him around for a couple of days. I would hire him again for such a job without hesitation.

My husband and I have been extremely pleased with all work done by Scott Adams. His attention to all details of a project are very important; from construction to completion. We are pleased with a closet refitting and sewing room cabinets, shelves and table top to hold sewing machine and serger. This man is dedicated to delivering a very good product.

Scott Adams painted our kitchen cabinets. He is extremely reliable and careful in his work. For other projects like under cabinet lighting he suggested solutions that were perfect. It was a pleasure to work with him.

Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
