The Un-Contractor: Building Trust with Hands-On Mastery
Scott Farrar is not your typical general contractor—he is the antithesis of the industry stigma. As the Owner of Farrar Construction, known locally as The Deck Specialist, Scott ensures that every project meets both building code and moral standards.
He took over the company, established in 1977, with a single purpose: to infuse decades of experience with a deep love for the work. Scott is the guiding force, personally driving the commitment that “anything worth building is worth overbuilding“.
The Core Philosophy: Craftsmanship is Personal
Scott’s three foundational pillars—Kindness, Communication, and Craftsmanship —ensure a client experience built on respect and excellence.
- Engineering Beyond the Blueprint: Scott provides clients with complimentary 3D rendering and utilizes Joist coating on every project to ensure structural integrity and a flawless aesthetic vision.
- The Eco-Conscious Promise: Farrar Construction is a passionate Conscious Contractor. We proudly recycle or repurpose 70% of all demo’d decking materials.
- The Lifelong Guarantee: Our work ethic means checking in 1–4 months after project completion to inspect the quality ourselves —a level of commitment few builders offer.
