Scott O’Neill’s dad bought him his first set of tools when he was eight years old and he immediately went to work building tree houses in their back yard.  At the age of 14, he started working at a summer camp and helped out with building projects and maintenance and then started his first business with his dad at age 18.  This led him to joining The Restoration Pros as a project manager two and a half years ago.  Their focus is to be a ‘one stop shop’ for all your home improvement needs.  They can handle your project from start to finish from painting to a full remodel.  They also sell and install tile and onyx showers and vanities.
