Danville, Kentucky · Licensed · Insured · Bonded
28 years in the building trades, a family name on the company, and a habit of answering his own phone. This is who you’re hiring when you hire Scott Construction KY LLC.
Ben Scott did not start out as a general contractor. He came up through mechanical technology, welding, ironwork, rigging, and structural assembly, the trades where the steel either holds or it does not, and every weld gets inspected.
That background is why he reads a building differently than most. Before a wall comes down or a beam goes in, Ben already knows what the structure is doing and what it will do next. Over 28 years of that work is behind every job he quotes today.
In practice that means the load path gets traced before anything is opened up. A bearing wall in one of the houses off East Main that went up in the 1910s carries its weight to the ground by a different route than a wall in a 1990s ranch outside Junction City, and the header, the posts, and the footing under them all follow from that. Reading it first is what keeps the opening clean and the schedule honest.
You can see the steel in the finished work. The black steel balusters on our decks, set straight as a level line, are the signature Ben brought over from the ironwork years. When someone in Danville spots that railing, they know whose crew built it.
The same habit shows up where nobody looks. Ledger boards bolted and flashed to the framing, posts set below the frost line, joist hangers filled with the fasteners they were drawn for. Those details decide whether a deck still feels solid in year ten, and they are invisible by the time the furniture is on it, which is exactly why they get done right the first time.
Kentucky issues no statewide general contractor license, so in Boyle County and every county around it, what protects you is what your contractor carries. Ours is a county contractor’s occupational license, renewed each year through the county building inspector, the general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage the county requires before a permit is issued, and a Danville business license for work inside city limits.
All three, in Ben’s name, and the paperwork is yours whenever you ask. The bond backs your project past what insurance alone covers.
Scott Construction KY LLC has worked Boyle County and the counties around it for over four years, on 28 years in the trades before that.
Floods, water leaks, and electrical shorts keep their own hours. Call at any of them and Ben answers his own phone.
A one year workmanship warranty on every job, and a five year manufacturer warranty on the roofs we install.
The range of the work is the range of the builder. One week it is a century-old Danville porch, restored trim by trim so the character survives the repair. The next it is fresh framing on a room addition, a kitchen and bath taken back to the studs, or a deck engineered like the structures Ben used to rig.
Residential and commercial, one crew, one standard. Ben walks every job himself, quotes it himself, and runs it himself, whether that is a new roof, a historic restoration, or a custom home going up on a bare lot. The person who gives you the number is the person who owns the result.
The other end of the range is ground nobody has built on yet. We run our own excavation equipment alongside the carpentry crew, so land clearing, grading, french drains, and the footings all happen under one contract, and a project that starts as a hayfield in Casey County can end as a building you walk into without a second contractor on site.
That holds across every county we work: Boyle, Mercer, Lincoln, Casey, and Jessamine, and the towns inside them, from Danville and Perryville to Junction City and Nicholasville. If you build for a living, Ben is hiring too.
Not sure which service your project falls under? Tell Ben what you are looking at. He measures the job, listens to what you actually want, and comes back with a real number you can plan around.
Hiring Scott Construction KY LLC means hiring one contractor rather than a rotation. Ben answers the phone, walks the property with you, writes the scope, prices it, and runs the crew that builds it. There is no salesman between you and the person holding the tape measure, and nobody takes over halfway through who was not there when the decisions got made.
The number he gives you is a number. Scope, schedule, and price are on paper before a tool comes off the truck, and anything that changes is a conversation while there is still time to decide on it. On jobs up to $10,000 you pay nothing until the work is complete.
Timing is worth planning around in Central Kentucky. Decks, roofing, siding, and concrete run hard from spring through fall, so the calendar has the most room in winter, while kitchens and baths and interior work keep the crew building straight through the cold months. Winter is the right time to talk about a spring deck.
Veteran, military, senior, and single parent discounts on materials apply on every job, in every county we cover.
Scott Construction KY is based in Danville and works the counties our neighbors call home: Boyle, Mercer, Lincoln, Casey, and Jessamine, including Perryville, Junction City, and Nicholasville. See every area we serve.
Boyle County is the center of it. Danville is the county seat, home to Centre College and Constitution Square, and its older neighborhoods keep us in remodels and restoration work all year. The National Register district along East Main holds homes built from the 1890s through the 1930s. Exterior work inside the city’s designated local historic district goes before the Danville Architectural Heritage Board for a Certificate of Appropriateness, so we plan that review into the schedule rather than running into it. On anything built before 1978 the EPA lead-safe renovation rule applies, and we work to it as a matter of course.
Perryville sits about ten miles west with some of the county’s most historic property, and Junction City is roughly four miles south, close enough to be a normal stop in the week. North of there, Nicholasville anchors Jessamine County and Wilmore rides along with it, both of them addition and remodeling country. West, Harrodsburg is the Mercer County seat and the oldest settlement west of the Alleghenies, with housing stock that carries real age, and Burgin gets the same crew. South and southwest, Stanford, Crab Orchard, and Hustonville bring Lincoln County’s farmhouse remodels and rural builds, and most Casey County work starts around Liberty.

Ben Scott owns Scott Construction KY LLC and has 28 years in the building trades, coming up through mechanical technology, welding, ironwork, rigging, and structural assembly before he ran his own jobs. He walks every project, prices it, and runs the crew that builds it, so the person who hands you the number is the person accountable for the finish.
The company has been operating for over four years, on the 28 years of trade experience behind it. It is family owned, based in Danville, Kentucky, and it works Boyle County and the counties around it: Mercer, Lincoln, Casey, and Jessamine.
It changes what gets looked at first. Ben reads the structure before anything is opened up, so headers, posts, footings, and connections are planned rather than discovered mid job. It shows in the finish too: the black steel balusters set straight across our deck rails are the signature that carried over from the ironwork years.
Kentucky does not issue a statewide general contractor license, so the credentials that count are local. In Boyle County that means a contractor’s occupational license renewed each year through the county building inspector, plus documented proof of at least $350,000 in general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage for the crew before a permit is issued. Work inside Danville city limits also takes a city business license. We hold all of it, and a bond on top of it.
Residential and commercial both: remodeling and renovation, kitchens and baths, decks and outdoor living, additions and ADUs, roofing and exteriors, custom homes and barndominiums, concrete and excavation, and property services. Excavation and site prep run in house, so a project can start on raw ground and finish as a building under one contract. See every service we offer.
