We have completed projects with Ron in charge for over 12 years. He has always been amazing at listening to our wishes, understanding our vision and finding innovative solutions! He is very kind and professional in all his communication. Ron also ensures that the projects are executed in a timely fashion. We give Ron our warmest recommendations! **Comment from Scott Christopher Homes:** > Thank you so much for the kind words and for trusting us with your home projects over the years, Patrik! It's been a pleasure! **★★★★★ — h linnebjerg, Oct. 2016** > We completely rebuilt our lakeside home using a combination of Via Design and Scott-Christopher builders. Scott-Christopher Homes got involved from the design process onwards giving invaluable insights and advice. We then had a comprehensive contemporary but deliverable design. The job was estimated. Once work commenced Craig, our project manager, marshaled all the trades in military precision. The project was delivered ahead of time and under budget. The quality of the work was exceptional, such that the home was featured on Via website and in the parade of homes. We could not have expected more from this company. Since the re-build the follow up has been fantastic and we have gone back to this company many times for other jobs. **★★★★ — Karyn Wolschleger, Aug. 2016** > This was our first experience in building a home and the Scott Christopher Homes crew made it enjoyable. Drew Terwee was our main force and had every contractor lined up and ready to go right on schedule. Not only was the work completed by the promised date, but we were moved in and enjoying our new home ahead of schedule. The crew that they hired were very professional, worked well in conjunction with other contractors and to this day, we have called on some to do other projects we have had come up. > > We would certainly recommend Scott Christopher Homes for their organization, ability to hire top notch contractors, providing a good working relationship with the client and their contractors and creating a very enjoyable experience. **★★★★★ — carol3182, Aug. 2016** > SCOTT CHRISTOPHER HOMES built a new home for us. The team was respectful of our wishes and built a stunning home. The quality is superb and attention to details made this home a showpiece! We interviewed a few builders before we selected Scott Christoper and we are so pleased and know that we made the right decision. Everyone worked together and made this process smooth! We would highly recommend this builder! **★★★★★ — Jenny Peterson, Aug. 2016** > Over the past year, we have made updates to a house we purchased last summer. Scott Christopher Homes (SCH) built this gorgeous house 5 years ago so it was great to use them as they knew the ins and outs of the house. Craig and his crew followed a schedule perfectly and we moved in as planned. Six months later we are using SCH to put on an addition to our home. They patiently waited for our project to get approval from the association and have moved quickly to get started as soon possible. They have become like family and I can't think of anyone else we'd want our home built by! Thank you SCH for your dedication to our projects! **★★★★★ — Troy Haney, Aug. 2016** > We worked with Scott Christopher Homes on our home renovation project and had a wonderful experience!! They operate with a level of craftsmanship, integrity and professionalism that is unsurpassed. Their outstanding customer service has exceeded our expectations and we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone thinking about building a new home or remodeling an existing home. They are simply terrific!! > > Troy and Lorrie Haney **★★★★★ — Via Design, Sept. 2015** > We have worked with SCH on many large scale projects over the years. Not only are they an honest, hardworking crew, but they're craftsmanship is unparalleled in the industry. There is never a doubt that Scott Christopher Homes can meet and exceed expectations! The results are always magical! **★★★★★ — Lisa Perdue, Aug. 2015** > Simply Incredible! I have friends who have worked with this organization and have been more than pleased with the overall results of their project. The attention to detail and amazing work shine through in every way. **★★★★★ — cprichard, May 2014** > I have hired Surpass Renovations several times for maintenance issues with my home and would recommend them without hesitation. They have fixed my leaking roof, replaced a couple of doors and hardware, replaced my water heater and well pump, and even cleared nearly 4 feet of snow off my roof. Each time the men have been prompt, friendly, and incredibly tidy. They were great at explaining the issues found and what my options were to correct the problems. **★★★★★ — J Visser Design, March 2014** > We have been working with SCH for many years and have always had a great experience. We always know the project will be executed with quality craftsmanship and accuracy down to the smallest detail. There is never a hesitation when recommending a client to SCH as we know they will enjoy the process and have a great experience. The value they bring to the project and willingness to meet any budget demands speaks volumes about their entire organization. **★★★★★ — Stephanie, March 2014** > We hired Scott Christopher Homes to remodel our house from the 1920's which was very outdated and they did a fantastic job. We wanted to keep the character of the house but renovations were quite extensive and they went above and beyond to work with us to accomplish exactly what we were looking for. They were very knowledgeable in helping us to find the resources we needed whether that involved materials or the qualified professionals that exceeded our expectations. **★★★★★ — tnorthway, Feb. 2014** > Scott Christopher, or more specifically his renovation company Surpass, did a spectacular job completely remodeling our 1946 Cape Cod lake house. Previously it had very limited views of the lake but today, with the addition of a new kitchen space and elimination of numerous walls, the lake is visible from virtually every room. While the house has clearly been modernized his cabinet makers and workmen preserved the traditional feel of our old house. > In addition, we signed on with a specific finish date in mind, December 24, giving them barely 4 months to complete. Although it frequently required weekend construction, which we lived through, they were done on the 20th. ## Selected projects - [Restful Homestead](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/restful-homestead-pj-vj~6425010) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - Description: Touches of modernism, simplistic lines and a textural palette define the spaces of this restful homestead.
