Description of Work: I had Bruce, the owner to my house to quote on some masonry and paint work. I kept following up for the quote and he never delivered. I finally reached him by phone (his mailbox is never emptied so you cannot leave a message). He said he had to look at the house again and he promised me a quote the next day. That never happened.

+ 0 moreSent out project proposal to three handyman contractors. One never responded, one responded five days after sending out proposal, Select Contracting responded within 24hrs of proposal request and came same day to do an walk through estimate. Thought we agreed that work would start on Monday the 8th but didn't start until the 10th. 1.Installation of Micro wave A+ work 2. Repair of kitchen cabinet - needed to be reattached -A+ work 3. Changeout of electrical outlets - only finished 1 of 3 - needed tools that didn't have with him - promised he'd come back to compleat - never returned C-work 4.replacement of old porch light with new light- installed upside down - its a lantern design - the upside down installation caused it to act as a rain gauge - light shorted out - apologized for installing upside down - promised would fix when fixed outlets - never returned D-work 5.replacement of flood light bulb - replaced but dosent work D-work 6. promised interior painting estimate and timeline for painint- never provided F-work 7. provided roof replacement estimate - because of performance on #3,4,5 and 6 decided to cut loses and not go with Select Contracting for new roof Dos- This contractor had excellent reviews from Angie's List , don't know why such a mixed bag of quality of work and job performance for my projects. Once things went bad should have been a real " squeaky wheel" and push until things corrected. I gave up to soon and hired another handyman contractor (not on Angie's List) to complete/fix projects

+ 10 moreAwesome. Bruce was responsive, thorough in his assessment, he did excellent work and is affordable.
Description of Work: I found Select Contracting here on Angie's List and could not be happier. Bruce is an awesome contractor who has lots of knowledge and experience in a wide range of skills. He is responsive, nice, thorough and priced right. Call him. Bruce has since repaired cracks in our walls, replaced drywall, painted our garage, repaired our gutters, repaired our chimney, replaced our door, fixed our toilet and more.
