Description of Work: Install kitchen faucet and repair bathroom faucet. I would use them again, understanding that I would be responsible for supplying the necessary plumbing supplies (such as supply lines). I had to go to Lowe's to buy them. I was not used to this as the other plumbers I have hired carried basic supplies with them.

Response from Nelcon Residential Repair & Construction
The Client was surprised that I did not carry Plumbing parts, as most Plumbers do. Well, let's see: the Big Deal was for a Handyman, the category was Carpentry,...I don't see "Licensed Plumber" anywhere. Also, the Big Deal did not include materials. I did my best with what I had. If he had wanted a Plumber, he should have found a Plumber.

Description of Work: He arrived at my house on time which was a good sign. I had purchased a 3 hour deal and a 7 hour deal. He was scheduled for 3 hours that day for the first deal.I started going over all the things I needed done and he had a problem with most everything. He was not sure how to do so many of the things I needed done. They were all simple things that if I had the time I would do myself. I guess I was a little short with him (my expectations were too high)and apparently he doesn't feel comfortable working with me for the next deal of 7 hours so he emailed me and told me to get a refund. I was happy about that because I really didn't want him back. He was not a very handy handyman.

Just as there are, from time to time, bad Contractors in Angie’s List, there are, from time to time, bad Homeowners; people from whom I receive immediately a ‘bad vibe’. This Homeowner was quite curt with me, and I really really really did NOT want to work for her. I extricated myself as quickly and politely as possible,…and she gives me an F. Quad erot demonstratum. She was from New York City. Need I say more? Well, I hope she can find someone able to deal with her, I cannot.

Description of Work: Fixed two light fixtures, removed popcorn ceiling in a bathroom, cut the top off of a shrub/tree. He completed all projects completely and efficiently. All correspondence was prompt. Thanks for the "Big Deal" opportunity!

Description of Work: Nelson came at 8:30 and got right to work. I showed him all the work we needed done in the 3 hours (2 ceiling fans and some sheetrock repair). He put the 1st coat of mud on the sheetrock, installed one ceiling fan, did a second coat, installed the other and dried and sanded the repair work. He was very efficient and cleaned up any messes. He even repaired a few other holes he saw. He worked completely independently and quietly.

Description of Work: Contacted the handyman. He was very nice, but he was overwhelmed. He told me he had over 40 orders. He would have to schedule me out and to send him a list of the things I wanted done. I emailed him a list, he called me back and promised to return a call when he received my list. He called back to question some of the things on my list and I have heard from him since. He was very nice, but seemed overwhelmed and I need my work done soon or at least an approximate time of when I could expect the work to be scheduled.

Description of Work: I really don't remember exact date work was done. I didn't pay more than the price of the deal. Installed upper cabinets. Demo'd drywall in 1/2 bath and took to dump. Installed decorative handles and hinges on garage door. Took 2 hour less than time allotted in deal.

Description of Work: Four small repairs were completed. they included a couple of window frame repairs, a drywall repair and a wood deck plank repair. Nelson was very professional, knowledgeable and offered good suggestions. The actual work repairs were satisfactory. the problem was the pricing. the deal was a flat fee of $289 for up to seven hours of work. Nelson was done in 2.5 hours, so I certainly didn't get a good value for the money spent. I asked him to come to the house to look at the work items to get a feel for his time estimate. he wouldn't come out to Chapel Hill so we just discussed them over the phone. If I had known his time estimate was only going to be about three hours, I wouldn't have gone ahead with the deal for $289. I'll never due a flat dollar/time deal again unless I get a solid estimate of the work time estimate. Live and learn!

HORRIBLY!!!!
Description of Work: This man is the rudest guy I have ever encountered since I left NYC. He hung the telephone up on my husband because my husband would not give him my phone number. The man wanted to speak with me because Im the person that placed the order on Angies List (with clear comments to call my husband, btw). He also stated that he refused to do business with my husband and only wanted to deal with me - who does that?.. I would not recommend this company!

Response from Nelcon Residential Repair & Construction
Two Points: 1. Please keep in mind that all the bad reviews I have received have been from people for whom I have done no work, and have never met. 2. I’ve been contracting for fourteen years now, and I get a gut feeling when I am not going to be able to work with a potential Client. I got that feeling from talking to ‘him’ on the phone and stopped the project. As for the result, Quod erat demonstratum. If you want particulars, please read on. ‘She’ submitted the request for my services. ‘He’ called the next day, without introducing himself, to talk to me about the request. I asked him for his name. He replied, “the one who submitted the request is (her name, it would have been redacted anyway). Okay, so he refused to identify himself. So I asked, “what is the nature of the repairs needed”. His reply: “I don’t know”. Now I’m thinking, ‘so why did he call me’? I then asked for her phone number, thinking that I could get the information I need from her. He asked, “Why would I do that?” I decided that I do not want to work for these folks. I told him, “If you don’t trust me, I can’t work for you. Please keep that in mind”, and hung up. That evening I sent the following email, reprinted herein in its entirety: “A gentleman called me about your request. He was unable to describe the nature of the needed repairs, so I asked him for your phone number, since you had submitted this request. He refused to give me your number. Now, I don't know the exact relationship between you two. My experience with folks unwilling to provide enough information to contact all concerned parties indicates the project is doomed from the start. Please obtain a refund from Angie's List. Please do not contact me again about any work.” She sent the following email, reprinted herein in its entirety: “The gentleman you are referring to is my husband. I only submitted the request because I am the member on Angies List. In the initial request I stated in my comments that all calls or inquiries were to be directed to his cell number. He advised me as to how rude you were on the telephone which is extremely disheartening to hear. I will make sure that all the members of my HOA in Wakefield and my 175 employees are made aware of your unprofessional behavior. I will also include in my review on Angies List. Obviously some customers carry a little more weight than others and with social media being what it is you should exercise a little more discretion when dealing with potential customers. We own a 8000 sq foot home as all of my neighbors, which im sure at some point may have been beneficial to you.” The evident self-aggrandizement affirmed my decision. I do not feel comfortable working for these folks, and so will not. It seems kind of strange that some people will go out of their way to harm someone they don’t know. Does social media promote callousness? It is my opinion that some people are just that way.

Description of Work: Nelson did siding replacement, caulking, drywall replacement, outdoor lighting bulbs replacement, and made some adjustments to a back door so that it would close more easily. | |Nelson was on time and did very good work. His prices were fair, he went the extra mile on one of the jobs that turned out to be more complex that originally expected, and he was good about leaving everything cleaned up. We would use his services again.

Description of Work: We "purchased" a Big Deal offered by this company - 8 hours of handyman service for $239. It was a great deal - we really got our money's worth! Nelson did an excellent job taking care of a variety of items we needed fixed - drywall repair, electrical issues, siding replacement, etc. We were very pleased with his work and will definitely call him again!
