A “tiny house” contractor from Stone County, whose work has been featured on national television, is facing complaints by eight customers totaling more than $115,000 in unfinished homes and unreturned funds. According to Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, multiple Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practice Act violations were filed Tuesday in Pulaski County against Scott Stewart of Mountain View and his company, Slabtown Customs.
From 2012 to the present time, clients in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, New Mexico and Pennsylvania claim Stewart required large down payments and progress payments of up to two-thirds of the full purchase price. When the completion date would pass, Stewart would often allegedly offer a refund and not fulfill it. Some customers have reportedly been waiting on their money or their house for over five years.
Stewart has been featured on HGTV’s “Tiny House Hunters” and the FYI Network’s “Tiny House Nation.” He specializes in approximately 300-square-foot homes built on bumper pull trailers.
