    Beware of Stout Construction and Remodel. *** Stout portrays his "company" to be a professional, competent and licensed contractor. THIS IS AN UNLICENSED COMPANY that is not professional, limited competence and leaves unfortunate clients with unfinished projects and poor quality. Additionally, *** Stout does not carry ANY insurance and has his "buddies" work on projects with him who are also uninsured placing all liability back onto the homeowner. After there was almost no more money to collect, *** Stout abandoned our project with 30% remaining to be finished. He constantly left live electrical wires exposed and hanging out of the wall. The first item he started in December was our pantry and barn door. That was left unfinished when he gave yet another lie in early April, the last time we heard from him. Here is the list of items we paid for left unfinished:ElectricalReinstall subanel plate and re-label Final rerouting of electrical cabling.Correct mistakes where GFCI outlets are required in kitchen and bathroom Terminate or eliminate circuits with live connections hanging out of the wall Construction of physical chaseInstallation of new ventingRerouting of network cablingDrywall chaseTexture and paintKitchenComplete installation of support brackets on beam Complete installation of 2X6 boards between rafters Drywall and insulation of area above kitchen cabinets Adjustment of lower shelving in pantry to accommodate rice cabinet Installation of can baskets on right side wall Complete and finish interior pantry Finish barn door alignment, door stop and magnet Modification of wall next to refrigerator door Install new lighting in ceilingStain beamFinish exterior lower beam adjustment to match pantry side beam Backsplash tileCoffee bar tileCeiling shiplap installationDrywall remainging open areas Texture and paintHang pendants over island (**** completed) *** Stout Construction is nothing less than illegal scammer.
