Hired on Thumbtack
Tiled bathroom floor. Fixed sheetrock in garage and basement. Excellent workmanship. Showed up on time and worked for 2 and a half days. Cleaned up each day, positive personality, and did his best to satisfy my wife and I. Would definitely hire Mr. Scott again!
3 contractors came out and told me my pocket door could not happen without damaging the tiled wall on the other side. Ricky said the same thing, but, said he can open up the wall on the opposite side. And just like that I got my pocket door.
Details: Interior door, like a bedroom or closet door • 1 door • Sliding pocket • Wood • No, an opening needs to be created for the new door • No, I’ll purchase the door myself • Home
