Upon finding Scott on this link, he was very prompt in replying, and coming to the house to assess the necessary work, and provided a quote within 48 hours. WOW. We've been in touch with other contractors, some of which took 5 months to provide a quote.
The fact that Scott is adept in all points of renovations work - plumbing, electrical, construction, etc., made him our choice to do the job.
Scott and his team were very courteous, and took great care not to disrupt the rest of the house during renovations. He worked diligently, putting in full honest days, and always cleaned up after each day. The scope of the work was completed in 2/3 the time we estimated.
If I had any questions, he took the time to explain things in detail, which showed his knowledge and expertise in his line of work.
Now we have 4 brand new bathrooms; shower, vanity, and toilet beautifully installed, along with new lighting, tiles, and paint, giving each bathroom a warm and inviting look.
Looking forward, if we decide to renovate any other areas around the house, Scott will be the first, and only, person we will contact.
After all of the stories you hear about contractors not showing up, not completing the job, etc., my husband and I felt we really lucked out when we found Scott. My husband found SG Design and Renovation on this website. We read all of his reviews and felt that the two critical ones were a result of a lack of communication to the contractor from the client about what they wanted and the fact that he cannot read minds. We think it is very important to communicate what you want to your contractor when he is there and not after the fact. We felt that if we did not agree with Scott's vision, we told him what we thought and we all had a discussion of the pros and cons and went from there. As Scott is the professional and this is his career and we are hiring him because we are not the pro, we learned why some of our choices were not necessarily the best ones thanks to his professional advice.
We hired SG Design and Renovation to renovate both of our bathrooms. Scott did an amazing job and we will enjoy these bathrooms for many years to come. Scott quoted us a time frame to complete the work and ended up finishing the project within his stated time frame. He quoted us a price and completed his work within this budget. He showed up faithfully every day and put in a full day's work. He did his best to keep everything clean and tidy. Scott was always very approachable with any questions we had and we learned a lot from him. Scott is trustworthy and reliable.
We would hire him again without hesitation for any future renovations we may undertake.
Sincerely,
Blair and Sandra
Superb craftsmanship - the experience is very obvious, from the thorough yet speedy work. It's hard to find someone who does finishing work so well. I am more than pleased with the finished product.
SG Renovation did a great job on my flooring . It was difficult to put in, as it is a click high grade vinyl. He was on time with everything , arriving and finishing . The mouldings were done after, and it looked perfect . Everyone complements on what a nice job!
Scott was great start to finish. Answered our call and provided an estimate in a timely fashion. Took the time to answer our questions about the product he was installing. He started the work when he said he would and he completed it on time. Very professional and knowledgeable individual. Would definitely recommend hiring him!
When Scott came to build our deck we were quite impressed. He built a beautiful large deck, cleaned up all his mess and was very professional. Which is why were very surprised when we discovered a year later that the deck wasn't built to National Building Code (which was part of the deal). When we spoke to Scott about it he said "...that's bullshit...it is to code...", and since we are not professional builders (the reason we hired him to begin with). We looked further into this and were given excerpts from the National Building Code that our deck did not meet.
We forwarded this information into a lengthy email to Scott and asked him to correct the 2-3 issues that were sighted. Scott's response was quite defensive which I could understand given the circumstances, but he basically told us he wasn't going to do anything about it. When we responded back that we weren't asking for any refund simply that he fix the issues ( to meet the building code) I waited a full week and he did not respond in any way. We are now having to pay someone to fix the problems even though we paid thousand of dollars to Scott to have it built properly to begin with. His promises of fixing any issues in the beginning are clearly empty....
In regards to the above, a year later, when I first met the client, it was made very clear to the client that they are responsible for the permit (which was never pulled by them because of size restrictions and they also said they will deal with it later if it comes up), check with their municipality in regards to the size of deck they could build, they are responsible to ensure that all gas lines, sewer/water lines, hydro lines are to be clearly marked. They had stated in FACT that they wanted the deck that I built for them (as was mentioned above and my other contractor that was working with me will verify) because they entertain a lot. As for code, it was built to code as are all of my decks. The "code" they mention is the municipality would not allow them to have this size as they only allowed a deck size 10X16. They were aware of this in the beginning ( they told me personally) and now that they allegedly want to move ( as per our phone conversation), the municipality is saying/telling them they have to remove the deck and build another one. A very important detail that was left out of their comments. As for not doing anything for them, I clearly told them that I could rebuild it to the municipalities requirement (10X16) which they decided against in the beginning but it would be at their cost. They did not want this but appears that they are doing it anyway.
When looking for contractor this company is the best, Scott is very professional and trustworthy he renovated my bathroom and the job was perfect , Scott is exceptional to detail and clearly knows what he is doing.he picked out all my colors , tiles, vanity , taps and lighting as I live in the Cayman islands and was not there to do this I had all my trust in him and he proof truly to be the right person.when hiring someone for your work you definitely need to go with this company you will not be disappointed. I have a few more jobs in the future and scott will be the first on the list.thanks Scott for the wonderful job. Tropical regards Audrey
We appreciate what S&G Design and Renovations has done for us. Scott was here on the day he said he would start and has been here everyday since unlike some contractors that don't show up nearly every day. Scott is very friendly and easy to get along with. I often feel overwhelmed when strangers are in the house but I did not feel like that with Scott. He went about his business while we went about ours, while at the same time not ignoring us completely. Even the kids liked him. When we wanted something done Scott did not give up until he found a way, example: we wanted a door build into the Car Garage from our house but because of the structure and layout of our house it seemed impossible, after hitting a dead end a couple of times he found a way. No more hauling groceries through a snowstorm. Thanks Scott. Scott would also go beyond his duty and do extra things for us, example Jake mentioned he wanted to move the garage door opener switch to the new door and Scott did it, this is only one of the things Scott went out of his way to do. All the crews Scott brought out to do work were really friendly too. Scott does quality work and gets it done. When he says something we can depend on it. He communicates well and makes sure we know the what's and whys of things. The project was done in the time frame he said it would be. His estimate was accurate. I plan to hire Scott again for our next project. And Yes that second picture is the same house after Scott was done.
YOU GET WAHT YOU PAY FOR LESSON LERNED..well Scott came of as a nice guy and he came in to redo our shower that a reptutile company messed up on. All i can say is we put our trust in scott and what we got i am speechless from messed up tile cuts to grouting not completed to the drywall being banged up around the shower. Also our shower niche ended up looking like a dogs breakfast. And when my wife asked questions about not being happy with certain aspects of the job it was always once the grout is in it will look fantastic. Well it is far from fantastic Scott, and on emailing him about my impression of putting are trust in him there was no reply to even defend his view point on what he had done. I honestly believe that we were taken advantage of and we trusted this guy to do things right and this is not the case and not the results we got. and when my wife asked about him doing things he was supposed to it was just put some silicone on the places, like this is not what we paid for but at the end of the day do ur homework on ppl and make calls. Lesson learned. Now we can't use this shower at all and we do not have the money to replace what was done. Very disappointed and sad over this experience. and the fact that what he said he was going to do with the floor is relevel it none of this was done and now are shower floor feels squishy in spots like its giving way, So not sure how we will deal with this now or how we can ever fix it!!! I will be further submitting pics of the floor siliconed down tiles if they let me..... giving this job any stars is a major mistake
In response to Clive & Joanna. As for messed up tile cuts, grouting not completed, it was all completed. The drywall being banged up was very little due to having to remove the tile edging that was originally install incorrectly, and Clive told me that he was going to look after the little touch ups as he wanted to. The shower niche was discussed and with no metal edging that the client was to provide, we agreed that just meeting the tiles would be suffice and that grout would hide any issues. His wife had NEVER said anything to me about not being happy with any aspects of the job! In regards to emailing me and not replying,Clive sent me the email at 12:38 a.m. Tuesday morning, I did not read my emails till the evening as I was busy working during the day and only had time to read them in the evening. By 11;30 Tuesday morning he decided to post the above review. Therefore, he did not even give me a chance to reply to him at all. Furthermore, if this was such a serious issue, I would like to think that he would have called and discussed it immediately. I received NO call to this date. His wife had never asked about things as I barely saw her at all and the only place that required silicone was on the outside of the shower on the floor of the bathroom. When I finished the job late Sunday afternoon, Joanna had paid me, said thank you for the great job, gave me a hug and that was that. In closing, the total lack of respect from Clive in not calling me immediately to discuss his concerns or not giving me a chance to respond to his email and posting a very hasty negative review wanting to ":bad mouth" me speaks volumes. If you have concerns and wanted them corrected, a simple call would have alleviated any and all issues and corrective measures would have been taken.
We are so very pleased with the work that Scott did for us. He really went above and beyond with the bathroom renovation, which ended up being almost a complete tear down and rebuild. He did a fantastic job on everything. He was always friendly and courteous and respected our home as if it were his own. We would definitely recommend him and will be sure to have him do any work we need done in the future.
