Scott Reid Thompson Construction

Scott has done several projects for us, but the big one was the deck on the side of our house. It was very challenging — lots of dirt had to be removed and a challenging design had to be formulated. Scott did a fantastic job in meeting the site challenges and he finished it out very professionally. Very happy with our new deck and the job Scott did. I would recommend him to anyone who asks. Honest and shows up on time… communicates well. And highly skilled. All the things you want in a contractor.

After a few San Diego rainy days, we noticed that our carport roof was leaking. And, after we learned that soggy wood was like cheesecake to termites, we set out to find someone to replace our roof. As we started making calls in early March, we realized we had another job that was lingering and needed to be done: our back and side fences needed to be painted.
Instead of hiring a painter and a roofer, we opted to look for a General Contractor who could help us take care of the whole thing. So, I reached out to Scott. He was able to swing by later that day to take a look at the job and he provided his bid within a day for his portion of the work (Scott would do all the fence painting as well as the demo and some of the prep for the roof; the new roof would be a subcontract).
Scott was able to refer us to a roofing company that he had worked with in the past. He made all the arrangements for the roofers to place their bid. They gave us a competitive price and were able to squeeze us in to complete the job quickly. We absolutely loved them and were so glad that Scott recommended them. Scott then worked closely with the roofing company to seamlessly remove and replace the carport roof within a day of the start of the job. He stayed on site until the roofers were finished, even though they ran a little late that day.
Scott also painted our fence himself, including taping off the metal bars on the sliding gate and the metal posts. His attention to detail made sure that we were happy with the result. He also noticed that our gate lock was getting stuck and filed it down so that it closes much easier!
I love how Scott works on a time and materials basis. His estimates/​bids are easy to understand and he provided us final receipts as well with everything broken down. He’s extremely easy to communicate with via email, text and phone.
We’re extremely happy with Scott for the final products, his timeliness (the project was completed within 7 days of us selecting Scott to do the work) and the way he handled the job (especially with the roofers as a subcontract).
We’ll be contacting him first with any other jobs that come up at our house.

Scott was Amazing! Professional, Detailed, and thoughtful! And, the job was finished when he said it would be! I will continue to use his Company for mine and my Family’s projects. As a Realtor, I expect to recommend Scott and his Company to all of my Clients as well.

Scott has done three projects for us and I can easily say he is the best carpenter I know, hands down. He made a beautiful custom pergola and deck for us, in addition to a custom gate. There’s really nothing he can’t do: carpentry, cement, plumbing, you name it. Everything about working with Scott was a pleasure. He was very skilled and finished the job on time and under budget.
We have used other contractors who seemed cheaper at first, but we got burned in the end with change orders, poor labor, and poor communication between laborers and project manager. Scott works on a time and materials basis and ended up being half the price of the other «bargain» contractors in the end. He controls every step in the process and he knows how to make things look good. His work is brand new, but still fits right in with our 1920 Craftsman home.
There’s no job too big or two small and we’ll be calling Scott to put a second story on our house one day, I have no doubt. I love bragging to my neighbors that the same guy who built our pergola built the interiors of Sycamore Den, Sea and Smoke, and other stunning restaurants!

Scott has done work at my home on a couple of occasions, both times doing excellent work and reasonably priced. His most resent job was to build a new section of fence for me. I gave him a few necessary guild lines and then let him figure the rest out. He built an amazing fence that is solid and looks great. I just called him again a few days ago for more work. He is great for small jobs and big ones.
