    I Hire Scott Ruth in a good faith to replace windows on my property. After signing up a legal contract for the Job and paid him $10000 for the New Windows and $8000 for installation. He took the Money and Ran Away. I am not able to locate him and he has not replied back. His address is a post office location with no real address. He deceived me of a large sum of Money.

    Rob and Scott were amazing ... they responded to my call for help within a few hours, and scheduled an appointment the next day. They completed their inspection and had an estimate to us within 24 hours. The work was scheduled and completed on time, within budget, and with a minimum of inconvenience.

    I cannot say enough bad about Scott Ruth and his company. I never knew that the man is apparently retiring and no longer doing contracting when I hired him. We hired him in August of 2017 to do a fairly simple kitchen remodel. The only complication required removing a wall and installing a header. I would say the total job was about 50 man-hours of work start to finish. Scott Ruth is the essence of a "PAPER CONTRACTOR". If you hire Scott, you will get a part-time purchasing agent. There is almost 0 attention to detail...he delegates everything to his subs and spends very little if any time managing your project. It took him 7 months to complete a 50 hour job! His sub-contractors left trash all over my front yard, my back yard and my house. My wife had to interface with the sub-contractors and explain things to them herself since Scott never did. I had to haul away loads of trash myself. A simple under the counter Legrand wiring took 3 months for him to figure out because he never kept a red-lined electrical plan at the job-site and explained things properly to the electrician. Mostly he never did his homework. The wiring wasn't even done the way I wanted it to be done. The man spent most of the 7 months taking vacations (spending my money) whenever we came up on a critical point in our project. The only reason why the project ever got done was my wife and I had to hold Scott's feet to the fire to finish. If you can, find a contractor that does most of the work him/herself and avoid Scott Ruth. The project came out OK, but it took way longer than it should have. A real contractor could have done it in 2 months after all the parts were in.

    Response from Company:

    Karl, As you know, we had many issues with the electrical on this project due to the wrong Legrand parts being ordered by your designer. I am sorry you feel this way. We had many great conversations and you or your wife never brought up these feelings with me during the process. In addition we added many change orders to the job which added extensive time to the job: I would love to sit down with you and deal with these complaints in person instead of blindsiding me and my company with these false accusations. My door is open to you 1. Change of electrical panel 2. Fireplace stone 3. waterproofing your leaking windows installed by others incorrectly 4. installing a complicated tile backsplash on your beverage center that took 4 weeks to get (which you ordered)

    Ruth's team was very professional. Customer focused. They took care of my kitchen from start to finish. They helped me buy required materials or tools from home depot and cleaned the dust. They were punctual, clean and stress-free. I will hire them for the future floor and other projects.

    Scott always was very prompt in returning calls, texts, or emails. If we had an issue or concern, he was very attentive to listening to us.

    Scott was very responsive to our needs and got the parts ordered and problem solved.

    Scott always returned texts or phone calls promptly. I agree with the other reviewers that he listened well, asked questions and tried to thoroughly understand what I wanted. He offered suggestions if he thought they might be useful. When there were unanticipated problems, he worked hard to remedy them quickly. I always felt we were on the same page. I would recommend him enthusiastically.
