David Spence Inc.

Matt was professional at his work & he has a great sense of humor. And praises also go to the staff in setting up the appointment .

The work performed by Dave's crew was outstanding. During the initial look for a contractor I interviewed and received estimates from 6 companies. Dave's estimate was app. $4,000.00to $6,000.00 less than the highest and in line with the others. There were the normal delays expected with getting multiple permits and inspection associated with doing business in Hillsborough County. There were also delays getting the cultured stone and special order door unit we wanted. Also, during the time the work was being done we had two trips scheduled. Dave arranged his work around these many distractions with no complaints. We have had multiple contractors do work on our home and Dave is without a doubt the best and most honest contractor I know. I would recommend him and his company for any remodel project. The bottom line is his crew took the architect's work and improved on it resulting in a project which not only enhances the appearance of the property but more importantly my wife loves. Thanks Dave for a job above and beyond what we expected.

Excellent job! I purchased the Angie's list deal to have an electrical outlet installed outside, as we were in a bind and needed work done asap in order to complete another job. They were prompt in scheduling the service, and the job was done within 2 business days of purchasing the deal. I asked for quotes for additional electrical work we needed done, and was provided a fair, honest opinion on the work to be done, which I have learne delivery hard to come by in the electrical business! We will absolutely be having them back to complete the quoted work, and have found our new trusted electrician.

It went great. Matt was very professional, easy to work with, very skilled, and timely. He knew exactly what I needed and how to get it done to make my life easier.

Talked to Christy on the phone - she was very knowledgeable about the type of electrical work I need completed at my home. She made an appointment for Matt to come out for the coming weekend. Matt came out and did a fantastic job adding two electrical outlets (adjacent to existing outlets) and gave estimates for other exterior lighting and electrical work. Very pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the David Spence team. My neighbor across the street talked to Matt and also had him do some work at his house later that day. Great job.

The service technician showed up on time and did the work in an efficient manner, cleaning up everything before leaving. Very pleased with the work and the provider. Highly recommend them.

Matt did an excellent job. We are having a new cabinet made that will have glass doors, and be lit from the inside. Matt spoke twice on the phone to the cabinet maker to make sure that the receptacle and light would be in the right place. That was a generous thing to do, in my opinion. Matt was on time, friendly, and professional. He left everything cleaned up. We could not have asked for more. We found this company because I purchased a coupon. We would use them again because of this positive experience.

They did a great job, they were careful, professional, and cleaned up after the job was complete.

Ryan and Cory arrived on time and were very nice. They got right to work tearing up old laminate. They discovered mold under the laminate padding and advised I get it treated for a small additional amount, which I did. When all was completed, I was VERY pleased!!!! My floors were all flat again!!!! And the crew cleaned up after themselves as if they were never there! All sawdust sucked up by shop vac. I will definitely use these folks again, very impressed! I also want to mention other contractors wanted to rip up all my floors and lay new sub-floors, but David wanted to save me money and recommended we repair. was a great suggestion that saved us thousands!!!!

Punctual, very professional. Did the work with a minimum of drama. Very pleased with the neatness of the work, the cleanliness of the electrician and his truck. Would definitely use them again.

After a major rainstorm we had standing water about 6 inches above ground level on the NE side of our home. Water seeped through the foundation into the house and we had no idea how to permanently fix it. We started researching Angie's List and discovered David Spence. David is a busy guy and was booked out about a week. He came to our appointment on time, assessed the situation and suggested we start with a heavy duty water barrier. He explained his experiences with Hydro-Stop and how it is applied. He emailed us a link about the product and an estimate as promised. Initially we were only going to fix the area where we knew we had trouble indoors. After reading about Hydro-Stop, we were impressed and decided to extend the area to be coated. David revised the estimate for us. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and it continued to rain for the next 4 weeks. As soon as the area dried enough DSI scheduled Sean & Corey to start work. They dug a trench next to the exterior, did a light sand to clean off the walls and began the process of applying the slurry, membrane and more coats of slurry. They arrived early, worked nonstop and finished the whole job in 2 days. We couldn't believe it. The "feels like" temperature was 99 degrees, they had to cut through roots the entire way and were still smiling. Sean and Corey were very polite, nice young men who encouraged us to inspect their progress. At the end of the first day we were worried it would rain, water would fill the trench and flood inside again. Sean gave us his personal cell phone number and told us to call if anything happened. When they finished on the 2nd day they back-filled the trench and cleaned up the area. Before they left they wanted to be sure we were happy with the job. We are confident the Hydro-Stop will prevent water from seeping through the foundation again! We are very thankful David recommended this solution and had the expertise to do the job.

David and his crews were great. Communication was good and they went beyond our expectations In making my wife and I happy with the out come. Actually finished earlier than expected. David took ownership of a project that a couple of previous bidders had left me not feeling confident about. David was honest with his expectations and we are very happy with the results. No more leaks, dry, finished walls, and beautiful windows. All of his employees were professional and would communicate progress and challenges clearly. And Kristy was always letting us know where we stood on the schedule. Highly recommend these folks.

It went terribly. After waiting almost 4 months for the final quote...it came in right at a million dollars! Just to give you an idea of some of the quotes, here are a few: 1. Screened in pool enclosure: $ 150,000.00 2. Pool remodel $165,000.00 3. outdoor cabinets $27,000.00 4. Electrical wiring $38,000.00 I could go on and on. As you can imagine we were in shock and after seeing the breakdown of how he got the final number at 1 million. We knew right away that something was really wrong! We spoke to him about it and how we felt about the ridiculous numbers and he then came back 3 weeks later with $300,000 less on the quote, removing one item on the list , putting us at $700,000.00. He blamed the vendors and simply said "That is what they quoted and I just handed the proposal to you, I didn't even look at it because you guys were in a rush to get your quote" Would you want to hire a contractor that doesn't even review the different quotes from their vendors before handing it over to you? I do not believe this is really true at all. I think that he saw that we had money and were desperate to get the remodel going and decided to throw us this insane 1 million dollar quote to see if we would just write a check and agree. He was dead wrong. I showed this quote to 4 other contractors, builders and friends in the industry and ALL of them agreed that the quote was an absolute attempt to take advantage of us. They ALL agreed it was insane and that they have never seen such ridiculous numbers in their lives. EVER. I thought long and hard about even writing a review, but I don't want this to happen to someone else. We found a great contractor and things are finally going well. And just for the record, our pool remodel is costing us $40,000 and the screened in enclosure is $25,000.00 FOR THE EXACT product David Spence quoted us for. That is a difference of $ $250,000.00!!!!! and that is just for the pool and screened-in enclosure. I wish we never contacted David Spence. I trusted the reviews, but I am now VERY skeptical if his reviews are even legit. Six months ago he had 80 reviews, now he has 250 reviews. Is that even possible? This is just speculation, but think about it, how does any construction company have 170 reviews in just 6 months??? You decide. My final thoughts are as follows. I do not recommend this company because they are not trust worthy. Everything I wrote is the truth. Be very careful with trusting reviews only, because it is very easy for people to have fake accounts and reviews. Get referrals and call people. I learned the hard way. I am just so happy we did not use this company.

We noticed some soft drywall in the walls of my dad's house. We called DSI and one other contractor to give an estimate not knowing at the time the damage was from termites and not old water damage. DSI (and the other contractor) took a look and their estimates were within $2000. The other contractor suggested we could "skip some of the permits" which sent up red flags for us. We chose to work with DSI and are so glad we did! Once the work started and the damaged material was removed, we were surprised to see how much damage the termites had done. Eventually, about 30 feet of wall was removed and a window taken out (to be replaced when the walls were rebuilt). The rebuilding was a bit slower because we had to wait for the various inspections to take place before the next phase of construction could take place. It took about 3 weeks (excluding weekends) to get it all completed. Everything was taken care of from permits to final clean up. Phone calls and questions were answered in a reasonable amount of time.

DSI required I have a leak specialist come out (of their recommendation at a cost to me of $250) and then DSI did not arrive as scheduled for estimate. DSI scheduled 2 weeks out to estimate the work as they were busy and wanted to ensure the leak specialist first provide them a report. DSI then called the day before to ensue I would be there at noon as scheduled, which I confirmed. DSI showed up at 11 and had the guard call me as they were early. When I was not there I told the guard I was on the road as I had to drive in town to meet them since not living at the residence (which DSI had been told would be the situation). DSI insisted I reschedule with them as they would not honor their arranged noon appointment. Needless to say I was disgusted with their service and lack of professionalism and expressed that to them in heated words.

Repeat customer and always call Dave Spence first for home repairs or improvements. Had damage due to a leaking pipe. After the plumber repaired the pipe, I called Dave Spence and got an estimate. Work took less than 2 hours and very professional.

He was very friendly, and super talented. This is an older home, and he ripped the wood to the exact dimension.

Started early, finished early. Great job and ZERO issues. Very reliable and trustworthy.

I did not hire DSI. This reference was provided because it was solicited by Angie's List.

I received a quote of $1,650.00 to install about 340 sq ft of 6"x 1" tongue and grove ceiling planks. So, I wanted to ask around to see if could get a better rate. I contacted DSI and they responded back with a quote of $5,320.00.

DSI Construction completely remolded our Kitchen with new cabinets and granite tops. We also had new lighting installed in the ceiling and under counters. They also removed a wooden bar that extended from the kitchen window to the outside by the pool, and replaced it with a granite top. The job was started on time and finished faster than we had even hoped for. The workers were very professional, and answered any question s we had during the job. We had 5 quotes for the remodeling. DSI was fair, competitive and reasonable. They weren't the lowest, but we felt they offered more for the money than the others. . We would recommend, and will utilize DSI Construction for any future projects that we might have.

Matt was right on time, quick to do the work, knowledgeable, and pleasant. I didn't want him to waste his valuable time but he insisted on cleaning up and putting the ladder back in my garage.

The service was great. They came out about ten days after I paid for the service. They did not charge extra, I paid $99 and I had them come out after because I had some more work to be done. I would recommend them to anybody. I will use them again in the future.

They are the best! The technician was excellent and the people on the phone were very professional.

DSI went above and beyond our expectations! We purchased the $99 special for 2 hours of work 7 weeks ago. Christy promptly called us to schedule an appt. Matt came out checked the faulty light and remote control on the bedroom ceiling fan. Matt believed the issue was a faulty part and took it upon himself to contact the fan manufacturer on our behalf. He told the manufacturer the exact part that needed to be replaced. After a couple weeks, Matt called us to see if we'd received the replacement part -- we hadn't. He took it upon himself to, again, contact the manufacturer. A couple weeks later, still no replacement part. He followed up again with the manufacturer. We finally received the replacement part. Matt and Christy scheduled a time for Matt to come back out and fix the bedroom ceiling fan light. Since he did not expect that all of his effort would take up the full 2 hours, he asked us -- in advance -- to think about some other electrical tasks that we would want him to do. That's why he also ended up installing a wall switch for our outdoor ceiling fan and fixing an issue with our security lighting. We also had him check our landscape lighting that has never worked (we've lived in the house less than a year). The problem is the light fixtures -- which is what we believed to be the case before we had him check it. He informed us what it would take to replace the lights -- we should purchase the new light fixtures we want, and contact Christy to schedule Matt to do the install. Soon as we decide which lights we want as replacement fixtures, we'll be contacting DSI to do the work. Highly recommend contracting DSI!
