Danville, Kentucky · Licensed · Insured · Bonded
This is our home town. Scott Construction KY LLC is based in Danville 40422, and the streets in our portfolio photos are the streets we drive every day. One local crew for remodels, decks, and new construction, licensed, insured, and bonded.
Danville is the county seat of Boyle County and one of the most historic towns in Kentucky, home to Centre College and Constitution Square. People here take care of their houses, and plenty of those houses have earned the care: the National Register district along East Main Street holds homes built from the 1890s through the 1930s, and the Courthouse Square area has been on the National Register since the 1970s.
Housing stock like that shapes what a Danville contractor needs to be good at. A century-old porch, a plaster wall, or a foundation laid before modern codes will tell you exactly what it needs, but only if the person opening it up knows how to listen. Ben Scott has 28 years in construction, and he came up through welding, ironwork, and rigging before running his own jobs, so he reads structure before the saw ever starts.
We are family owned and based right here in the 40422. When you call, you talk to Ben. When the work starts, Ben is the one running it.
Historic restoration is one of our core services, and our portfolio shows it: porches rebuilt with their original trim preserved and century-old exteriors brought back crisp. We know the review process that protects these blocks and we plan for it.
We carry the Boyle County contractor’s occupational license, the insurance the county requires to pull a permit, and a Danville business license for work inside city limits. Licensed, insured, and bonded, all of it verifiable.
Much of Danville was built before 1978, so we follow the EPA lead-safe renovation rule on those homes and read the structure before demo begins. The house gets opened up on purpose, never by accident.
Every job carries a one year workmanship warranty. Roofs carry a five year manufacturer warranty on top of it. On jobs up to $10,000 you pay nothing until the work is complete.
Three kinds of work lead the schedule in town, and each one has its own full page:
Around those three we handle kitchens and baths, additions and ADUs, roofing and exteriors, and concrete and excavation. And because we live here, we answer here: 24/7 emergency response for flood mitigation, water leaks, and electrical shorts, any night of the year.
Kentucky has no statewide general contractor license, so in Danville your protection comes down to local credentials. Here is what that actually means, and what we hold.
Countywide, Boyle County issues a contractor’s occupational license through the county building inspector, renewed every year. Before a permit is issued, a contractor must also show proof of at least $350,000 in general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage for the crew. Working without those credentials earns a stop-work order on the spot. Inside Danville city limits, a city business license is required on top of all of it.
We carry every one of those credentials, plus a bond, and every build meets the statewide Kentucky Building Code with the permit pulled and the inspector met on site.
Danville adds one more layer that most Kentucky towns do not have. Exterior changes to properties inside the city’s designated historic district need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Danville Architectural Heritage Board before work begins. That review applies only within the district, and we plan it into the schedule from day one so the paperwork never stalls the build.
One more rule matters in a town this old: homes built before 1978 fall under the EPA’s lead-safe renovation rule whenever enough painted surface is disturbed. We follow it on every qualifying job.
Yes, and we plan the paperwork into the job. Exterior changes to properties inside Danville’s designated historic district need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Danville Architectural Heritage Board before work begins, and that review only applies to properties within the district. We build the review into the schedule so it never stalls the work.
Kentucky has no statewide general contractor license, so your protection is local. Look for a Boyle County contractor’s occupational license, proof of at least $350,000 in general liability insurance, workers compensation coverage for the crew, and a Danville business license for work inside city limits. Scott Construction KY LLC carries all of it, plus a bond.
Yes. Boyle County requires permits for work like renovations, decks, and garages, and only a properly credentialed contractor can pull one. We handle the permit, build to the statewide Kentucky Building Code, and meet the inspector on site so your project is documented from start to finish.
Home remodeling, custom decks, and new home construction lead the list, with historic restoration close behind because of Danville’s older housing stock. We also handle kitchens and baths, additions, roofing, concrete and excavation, and 24/7 emergency response for floods, water leaks, and electrical shorts.
A straight answer costs nothing to ask for. Send the details or call, either way you talk to Ben.
