About
Meet Scott
Owner
“I started Shaw Renovations originally to renovate houses for re-sale. I REFUSE to call it flipping because what I do is a love-filled renovation to give someone a like-new house on the inside with all the charm and character of a classic older house. I found that the Nashville area market needed so much more. Marrying my design skills learned in college, with the project management skills learned working as an engineer, and my people skills, which I can only attribute to God, I wanted to give people a one-stop service to help them build their visions.
My degree from Iowa State University is in Landscape Architecture, but I spent much of my career as an Engineer in the small engine fuel systems industry. As that industry began to transition to battery power, I transitioned full time to my first love: construction and carpentry. I am married to a wonderful woman, Sharon, who has her degree in Interior Design and is available to help on projects. I have a full wood shop, where I have made much of the furniture for our home, as well as custom pieces and even classic doors to match existing in some of the houses I’ve renovated.
I find when I meet with a client, they have multitudes of ideas and visions swimming around in their minds. It is my job to organize those thoughts and dreams into a way to move forward, planning the job with a goal toward minimizing the impact on their day-to-day lives as they live in a construction site. I help with design decisions and material selections, tell clients what is structurally feasible within their budget, plan the project so we make proper use of material and labor lead times, and move toward the goal of a beautiful finished product.
If you have a rental house needing work take a look at the quality craftsmanship we can bring to the job, with one call, we can handle and manage anything you need.
If you are selling a house and need the punch list from the inspector handled by ONE provider who can manage the whole list for you with one call, again look at what we have accomplished for others.
In the end, our goal is to help you love where you live - whether that is by providing you with beautiful custom furniture to fill your home, taking on renovations of rooms, or helping you manage your own renovation. If you’re looking to make changes in your home, take a look at our services, my previous work, and contact me. Can’t wait to meet you!”
