You can’t fake integrity when you live down the street.
Brooke says, "Scott is happiest in the field." It’s where he thrives—answering questions, explaining processes, helping clients feel seen and heard. At Restore, communication isn’t just a value—it’s the foundation. "We tell people the good and the bad," Scott says. "It’s a big deal, building a house. And we want our clients to understand what’s happening every step of the way." He doesn’t sugarcoat. He educates. And in an industry that can often feel overwhelming to clients, that kind of transparency is rare—and deeply appreciated.
In a field where many builders cater only to high-end clients, Scott takes a different approach. "I don’t want people to feel like they’re not ‘enough’ for us," he says. "We use the same materials, the same effort, whether it’s a $150K job or a $2 million build." The goal is always the same: stretch the budget as far as it will go without compromising quality. For the Cotys, it’s not about price tags. It’s about people. That mindset earned them a fiercely loyal following. In their small town outside Athens, Georgia, Scott and Brooke see former clients regularly—at restaurants, on sidelines, in grocery store aisles. And that’s the point.
