David Spence Inc.

Description of Work: Installed new electrical panel.

Description of Work: Replaced a bedroom ceiling fan.

Description of Work: I had selected DSI to give me a quote on a bathroom remodel because the company received rave reviews from previous clients. We schedule a date when David was to arrive to give me an estimate. Several days later I was told that they do not service my area. I gave the company a "D" for being disingenuous. They say they service Hillsborough County but perhaps that depends on who you talk to and when.

Description of Work: I actually set up a couple of meetings and I had to cancel due to my inconsistent work schedule. I will be contacting them for my house renovation once my work schedule settles down. They were very friendly and communicative on the phone and I look forward to getting a quote from them in the future.

Description of Work: Replaced countertops in kitchen and bathrooms as well as sinks, faucets and plumbing. Also installed a tile backsplash in the kitchen. Went well.

Description of Work: Very professional and punctual. Excellent work. Dave and kristy were very easy to work with and quality and customer satisfaction obviously top priorities. Gave difficult project lots of thought and time. Would definitely use their services again.

Description of Work: David came by and gave me an estimate on the cost to have my home repaired from last years storm. Everything that he did from arriving at the appointed time to the cost were outstanding. He was very thorough with his walk thru and polite to both my wife and I. I would use him for any work done on my home and feel very confident that it will be "TOP NOTCH WORK".

Description of Work: Provider was sent an inspection report for the property two weeks prior to the meeting. This was for a $200,000 remodel job. David Spence showed up with no idea about the inspection report even though his assistant Christine said he had thoroughly reviewed it. He was about 15 minutes late to the meeting. Met with him and various subcontractors for him on a different date. I was waiting for the estimate. Called today to see what was taking so long and was told that they said they had declined the bid.

Description of Work: We contracted David and his team to remodel our house which was to 1) add a new window on the 2nd floor and 2) remove all exterior wood frame and apply stucco to the whole house. We went with David mostly because of his recognition and rating on Angie list instead of the price; and we were glad that we picked them. The price was not that much higher than other quotes but team lead Tony and his people did an excellent job. There was an extra $960 change order because they had to ripped off an extra layer of frame, but they explained to us in detail and why not keeping the extra layer. Tony and the team on site carefully prepped and measured everything and also follow up on our questions/concerns and provide us with good suggestions. When they were ready to put the window up on the 2nd floor (and because we picked the impact glass, it was heavy so they had to come inside), they put cloths on the floor to avoid dirt and dusts. Everyone from the team acted professionally and took care of the stuffs after they finished the job. And when we told them couple problem incurred due to the project, they come fixed right away. David subcontracted the stucco to another team and they also did a good job with the stucco. A few cracks showed up a week after the stucco work was completed but the subcontractor quickly returned and got them repaired. Overall, it was a very nice experience and we love the end results. We will definitely use David and his team again on more upcoming projects.

Description of Work: I called DSI for a simple demolition of 1 wall. I was shopping around and the quotes were $600-$900. DSI sent me an estimate of $12,000!!! Insulting and ridiculous. Tried calling David so I can explain to him what I needed because there had to be a mistake. Never returned my call after I spoke with his assistant three times. She was very friendly but it was as if David didn't want the work. Service and pricing are not the best

Description of Work: DAVID REMODELED MY WHOLE HOUSE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM!! WAS LUCKY TO GET HIM TO DO IT !

Description of Work: David's roofing team did a precise estimate for repairing our roof. They showed up on time as scheduled and did a prompt and thorough repair. I would recommend this company to anyone requiring a roof repair.

Description of Work: I spoke with the owner David Spence and though we didn't do any business this time around, David was a phenomenal resource. He took about 20 minutes of his time to give me helpful information regarding the work I needed done as well as referred me to competent organizations that could do the work. In short, David performed community service above and beyond what was expected, and his knowlege and insight into the repair and remodel industry was invaluable. David is that rare individual that takes the time to understand a potential customer's needs, and even if he is unable to satisfy the need personally, he assists in any way possible. I wouldn't hesitate to call David back to ask questions and I look forward to doing business with his company in the future.

Description of Work: I purchased a "Big Deal" for a custom bathroom remodeling design and consultation. A " $500 value for $50. " The salesman for DSI came to the house and we thoroughly discussed the changes we wanted to the guest bathroom. He took numerous measurements. We received the bid and floorplan "drawings" . The bid was for replacement of the shower and bath combination with another combination along with other changes. We had clearly stated that we wanted the combination replaced with a shower stall. On 8/4/11 I spoke with David Spence and was informed there had been a miscommunication between the salesman and David. A revised estimate and drawing was sent to me. The quality of the floorplan drawing that was sent to me was my major concern. Both the original and the revised were amateurish and incorrect. Copies were sent to Angie's List. They were simple single line drawings, with freehand additions and no dimensions, Even on the revised floorplan the interior entry door to the bathroom was shown on the wrong wall. Based on this first impression of the quality of work, there was no way that I was about to enter into a $17,000 remodeling contract with this company. Neither was I interested in further discussions and promises. I was also dissappointed with Angie's List and the "Big Deal". The product I received was not worth $50, let alone $500.

Description of Work: I received an estimate from DSI Construction/ David Spence Inc. on August 19th for roofing work.

Description of Work: BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: Mr. Spence and his folks did very good work, in a timely and professional manner. It was a pleasure doing business with them, and I'm currently planing to have him do another couple of significant projects. A roof leak resulted in water running down inside the front wall of our dining room. Apparently, this had been going on for awhile before we discovered it. The walls were completely saturated (drapery screws were rusted where the were inside the walls) and the carpet pas was moldy, as were the tack boards along the wall. We had the roof repaired and, a couple of weeks later, had Mr. Spence out to give us an estimate and then to do the work. Discovering that the walls were still a little damp, he checked out the roof repairs and confirmed that they were good. He located a leak around the second story window above the damaged area and fixed that. He and his folks then proceeded to remove the carpet and pad, take out the entire front wall and portions of a side wall in the dining room and take out part of the wall in the adjacent laundry room. After they put in the new walls and painted them, the carpet layer installed in a new carpet mat and reinstalled the carpet. Throughout all of this, they sealed off the room and just worked away--no inconvenience at all having them there. While there, his folks did a lot of additional work, not in the contract, without charge. They checked all of the windows in our two-story house and re-caulked them. The carpet layer went through and took care of some tack board problems and wrinkles and slack in carpet elsewhere in the house. A final note: I don't really know whether his price is good, bad, or indifferent. I went out for three bids, all from folks who were highly rated on Angie's List. One expressed interest, but never showed up; one gave me an estimate for tearing out the wall and carpet, but not for replacing them. When I discussed that with him, I concluded that he was a moron and discontinued the effort. Mr. Spence came out, did a thorough examination, explained what he thought needed to be done, and gave me an estimate. I liked him and did business with him. I'm glad that I did.

Description of Work: He was extremely responsive and courteous and advised me on how I fix my problem without charging me a bunch of fees.

Description of Work: Stucco Repair

Description of Work: My 94 and 90 year old parents live with us in Seffner Fl. After my father fell he could no longer get into their bathroom shower. Dave Spence remodeled the bathroom shower, and now it is easy for my parents to get in and out. He also installed the safety bars for them to hold on to, and even bought them a hand shower head that they love. Then he fixed the new chair wheels that were falling off the chair legs of our breakfast table. I asked him if he would fix the head board that was lopsided in the guest bedroom and he also fixed a lamp that was broken ," I'm thinking is there anything that he can't fix". Because my parents need supervision, I asked Dave if he could install nanny cameras so that I could monitor the CNA'S that I had hired to watch over my parents. He installed a great system with cameras that are concealed and a microphone so I can hear what they are saying too. I feel at peace now that I know we can even go on vacation, take our lap top with us, and I can make sure that my parents are treated well while my husband and I are away. That's not all, one day I called Mr. spence because we were having problems with our roof and he came right out to repair it. While he was at my home I asked him if he could look at my TV. I have a wall mounted TV with a built in DVD player. I somehow jamed the dvds and we could not use the TV at all. Mr. Spence took out a tool and was able to pull out 2 dvd's and 1 cd that I had jamed into the slot that was only made for one. He saved us a lot aggravation and money because we did not have a warranty on the TV, we would have had to take it off the wall, and take it back to where we purchased it. While he was there I asked him if he could install an alarm battery for me that I had purchased and didn't know how to hook up, without hesitation, he took out another tool and installed that for me. My husband and I have the utmost respect for Dave Spence and we want to highly recommend him. He is knowledgeable, dependable, as well as on time and his attention to detail and perfection is one of the many qualities that we admire about him. It is nice to know that if I need to replace or repair anything in our home, all I have to do is call one person, Dave Spence. My husband and I have already talked about having him build our next home. I know with Dave Spence it will be built properly and most effeciently.
