Scout & Associates offers something unusual alongside its remodeling: a Project Consultation, where Greg Halle walks a house and lays out what needs doing. Several Google reviewers from 2020 to 2022 used it — a buyer sorting out home inspection findings, a customer weighing a future deck — and an April 2022 customer said they hired Greg's team for the work after the consultation. The Beverly company, at 346 Cabot St, describes itself as a general contracting, remodeling and renovation firm on the North Shore. Its website lists Greg Halle as owner and operator and Chris Halle as vice president, and says the consultation reports are based on inspections by a holder of an unrestricted construction supervisor licence. Its BBB page is an A+, and Google shows 5★ from 28 ratings, with reviews from 2020 to 2024. The jobs customers describe range widely. In a January 2024 review, a customer who bought a condo that needed complete renovation listed the kitchen, two baths, flooring, a custom staircase, paint and HVAC. A September 2023 customer said the company did an exterior refresh on their old Dutch colonial, and an August 2020 customer described a landmark home renovation. A June 2020 customer said Scout did two jobs for them — waterproofing a basement and re-insulating an attic at one house, then installing 17 new windows and remodeling the kitchen at the next. Two October 2022 customers said the company did their home inspection and called the inspector very thorough; one of them named Greg.

I just completed a commercial project with Scout & Associates and I can’t say enough amazing compliments about this business. Every step of the process was the best experience I’ve ever had working with a contractor. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire build, their pricing was transparent, they showed up when they said they would and my space was left spotless every day. The quality of their craftsmanship was top tier and every detail was carefully executed. They will be the only contractor I work with on future commercial or residential projects. I can’t thank them enough for bringing my vision to life!
We purchased a condo that needed complete renovation. (Kitchen, 2 baths, flooring, custom staircase, paint, HVAC, etc.) From start to finish, Greg and his entire team were exceptional. Greg is organized, pays attention to detail and is a perfectionist. He delivered on every promise he made, and exceeded our expectations. We 100 percent recommend Scout and Associates.
I finished a kitchen renovation project with Scout earlier this year and could not be happier. I appreciate their patience as we made multiple changes mid-project (Just to make sure we kept the team on their toes). The transparent approach to pricing and clear communication helped make the process run as smooth as possible. When renovating an old house we expected some problems, but it helped that Scout always came prepared with pro-active solutions at various price points so the project could move forward on time. We are looking forward to our next project!
Scout & Associates did a fantastic job with an exterior refresh on our old dutch colonial. It looks like a new house! Greg and his team are skilled, reliable, responsive, and a delight to work with. You're in good hands if you work with Scout - highly recommend!
Nothing shy of a top tier professional. Impressive! Look no further, you will not be disappointed
