Reviews homeowners left on his Thumbtack profile, quoted as written.
Ricky was prompt, professional and incredibly hard working! He put in long hours to finish my jobs on time and on budget. His many years of experience are evident in the quality of his work. I would recommend him to anyone for their home improvement needs. He moved my kitchen cabinets, installed a dishwasher with plumbing, extended my electricity outdoors for a hot tub, and built a gazebo for me. All the work was flawless.
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.
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!
I had an excellent experience working with Pocono Home Improvement. The team did an amazing job on my new bathroom renovation — the quality of work exceeded my expectations, with great attention to detail throughout the project. Everything was completed on schedule, and the process was handled with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend Pocono Home Improvement to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality home improvement services.
RICKY SCOTT DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB ON MY FRONT PORCH REPLACEMENT - HE DID A BOARDER AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE DECK BOARDS SO THAT THERE IS NO VISABLE ENDS SHOWING AND REATTACHED THE DECORATIVE TRIM TO THE NEW POSTS - THIS WAS A TOP RATED JOB - VERY GLAD I HIRED HIM.
Pocono home improvement painted ceiling walls and doors in six different rooms and different colors done an excellent job and short span of time well done
All workmanship was done in a high quality, professional manner. Thanks, Ricky!
