Scopus Marsh Contractors Inc.

This contractor will under-bid his competitors and have you sign a contract with timelines that he will not meet. Instead, he'll show up on occasional Fridays to muscle you for additional money so that he can pay his crew. Because he cuts corners, his materials are shoddy and his workmanship is poor. I had to call in another contractor to fix his work. He seldom shows up when he says he will. His crews work,with little supervision and usually leave after an hour or two when Brendan swears they will work all day. His "carpenters" have minimal carpentry skills. Unless you know exactly how the job is supposed to be done and can hold his feet to the fire at every stage of the project, don't hire this man. more

Hired Scopus Marsh Contractors for some fence work. Project was completed on time and on budget. Quality was excellent. Would highly recommend this company. more

I highly caution you from hiring this company. Expect long delays, poor workmanship, inferior materials, unprofessional service, shortcuts, trashed work area, and dissatisfaction with the final job (if it is ever finished). Beware of Brendan - he will talk your ear off and fail to produce anything but more talk. - He left a check with us to pay his workers, unprofessional at best. After paying the workers they took off the rest of they day citing other jobs they needed to do, after only 30 minutes at on the job. - The workers left the jobsite after less than a half day work over four times. Two of those times Brendan said they would return. Two times Brendan decided not to answer his phone until days later. - All waste was attempted to be left my lawn to include semi-burying extra concrete for fence footings. Nails and board pieces were thrown behind bushes an in neighbor's yards. - Jobs requested, promised, and paid for were never finished - level the bottom of the fence, remove old fenceposts (they just cut them at ground level), fix mistakes in pattern (pattern is off in 2 places), properly install latches (upside down and hammered bent to attempt to fit). - All fenceposts were already spit and support rails were the thinnest in I have seen - I checked all other fences in the neighborhood. The whole fence is off plumb and both gates are crooked. - The job scheduled for one week took four weeks. After the last three times we contacted Brendan to repair and fix mistakes and finish the job he stopped responding to our calls. - Workers numerous times did not have proper equipment and had to borrow supplies and tools from us; we did this after realizing that if they did not have a tool they would simply leave and not return (happened twice). - the final project is a standing fence with gaps at the bottom, not straight, weak supports, split posts, off kilter gates, etc. more

I had called several companies to complete bids for an 8ft cap and board, cedar privacy fence at my mother's property. I am in the military/special warfare community and my mother agreed to take care of my Pitbull-terrier while I am deployed. She needed a superior, secure, tall fence to keep the dog contained. She had an existing 4 foot picket fence that wasn't going to do the job. After several obscene quotes from other companies, Brendan came out and expeditiously completed a quote for our project. He was very detailed in his vision for the fence and worked off of my desires/specifications as well. His quote was extremely detailed and provided multiple price points based on material choices. We experienced some delays due to the weather but that comes with the territory. Construction projects, especially those that take place outside are rarely completed on consecutive days. These days, its rare to find a contractor who will literally build your fence from the ground up. Most contractors set posts and put up pre-fab panels. Not Brendan. Brendan set the posts, established grade, built the frame, put up 300+ individual pickets, built gates. Our fence is a work of art. Brendan made it a priority to complete our project on schedule and even worked Saturdays to get it done. What we ended up with was a magnificent 8 foot, cedar cap and board fence that is sure to keep any dog contained. Communication was excellent as well. Brendan was very quick to inform me of progress, delays, expectations, etc., via text, email and phone. If you are looking for a contractor who will show up, keep the lines of communication open, complete quality work for a very fair price and do it with pride and high energy; Brendan is your guy. I would absolutely encourage anyone to contact Brendan/Scopus Marsh Contractors for their next construction project. more
