Even radial ply tires sag when the air pressure gets low enough. That's a safety issue, so I informed the Homeowner. Glad to help.

NA - The work was not performed as noted above.
Description of Work: Unfortunately he never contacted me. I tried to contact him via multiple methods from the date of purchase to schedule with no luck. Per his website, he is a one-man shop. Perhaps the work load is too large (overwhelming response?) however at some point he should be able to respond to inquiries, particularly if the work has been pre-paid or at least let AL know he could not honor all of the vouchers. That would have been professional. I have noted that other customers had the same issue.

I didn't pay anything extra. They should be more polite and be more accurate in measurements. He was estimating some of them and I didn't like that.

I don't remember visiting a house at the address listed. A L did not provide the person's name, and it appears that I have to guess who this is. Wow. How much worse can the Review system get?

It took me over a month to get my appointment scheduled because he never emailed me back after several attempts to contact him. He was supposed to arrive between 3 and 4 but showed up 2 hours early without telling me. He just seemed to be bumbling around and kept hitting the light fixture he had installed. He was not respectful or careful with not damaging my house. Then, with no explanation, he just left abruptly and said "just call Angie's List for a full refund".
Description of Work: I hired him for a $99 deal for 3 hours of handyman service.

Response from Nelcon Residential Repair & Construction
This person mentioned she was "anal" about things. Talk about ANAL! She put down towels on the floor for the light replacement. I asked why, she said, " I was expecting your ladder would be dirty". She questioned every thing I did. I started to unwrap the bubble wrap around the light, she stepped in and took over. I put the removed light on her desk, she immediately picked it up and put it elsewhere. I don't need to be around someone like that. She is a Project Manager! I PITY anyone on her team. Even though I suggested she get a refund, I did some work for her. So, she gets her money back and I get a bad Review?

I responded to a "Big Deal" from Nelcon Construction in mid April2016. It was for 3 hours of handyman services for $99. I paid the fee and Mr Nelson responded quickly thru the the website. My project was installing a vanity in my half bath. Mr Nelson asked for photos, which I sent, but for some reason could not be opened on his end. He then suggested sending the photos to his personal email address, which I did. That was on April 19th.. I did not hear back from him , so on the 23rd of April I emailed him and asked if he was able to see the pictures.. This is the answer I received.. " Dear Mr. Capulli, I have received the photos from your earlier email. I see you are a Realtor. I do not work with Realtors. Please obtain a refund from Angie's List and select another Contractor for this work. Sincerely, Nelson I was truly surprised by this comment. I would suggest to future possible clients that you make sure your occupation is on Mr Nelsons' approved list.. I'm not sure if I will use Angies' List again,, Very disappointing experience..

The entire family was a lot of fun to be around. Her oldest Son is same age as my Son. They should play basketball together. Not football, though. Heh. Their Daughter can travel through walls; especially if there's a door in the way. All this on April Fools Day.

Nelson arrived on time and the price was very reasonable at $99 for three hours of work. He received a low mark for responsiveness because it took five days for him to respond with his availability. He asked for a list of items to be done and they were sent to him. When he arrived I told him that I had a house guest who was arriving earlier than expected. I hoped to finish the work upstairs before she arrived. Unfortunately, she arrived before he could begin and so I indicated to Nelson that I preferred not to disturb her and that the handyman items for the second floor should be done last. Nelson wanted to work on the second floor while my guest was still in the house. There were several items on the first floor that could be worked on. Nelson had some good recommendations for the type of repairs needed and I was happy to go to the local hardware store and purchase the materials. He made a list of items that would be needed. Shortly after my guest arrived he came to me and said that he did not want to do half a job and that he declined to do the work. He indicated I should reschedule with him at a time when he could complete all items. I felt that I should give him a second chance because my guest arrival threw things off for both of us. That evening I sent him a message asking him when we could reschedule. Four days later he responded saying that there are some people with whom his personality clashes and I was one of them and declined the work. This is only the second time I've given a low mark for a contractor. The other time was when the contractor did not respond at all. I've used many contractors from Angie's List and 99% of the time the outcome has been very, very good. My lesson in this is that I need to read the reviews more carefully. There are several recent reviews that give this contractor an "F" for professionalism.
Description of Work: He did not perform any work.

I did not feel comfortable around this woman, and when you get a gut feeling, you have to go with it. Perhaps she may find another Contractor she likes who can work with her. I would rather walk away from a project and get an 'F' for that, than do the project and get an 'F' for that. So, there is a reason why almost all my bad reviews are from people for whom I have done no work. No amount of money is worth having to deal with some people.

He came out and surveyed the job but he didn't call me ahead of time as we had agreed. He told me what supplies to get but was not specific so when he did returned he was not satisfied with the mesh and wanted to reschedule. We exchanged a few emails thru Angie's List and on March 10th we scheduled an appointment for 3/22/2016. At 10:36 pm on 3/21 the night before the appointment, I received a message from Nelcon stating he will not be returning. So my project instead of being completed very soon is now put off till end of March beginning of April depending on whether or not I can find another contractor.

She asked me to visit prior to actually doing the work. During my visit we agreed on the bat mesh installation over the gable vent. She would obtain the mesh and nails. When I visited the second time, she did not have enough material, and criticized how I was placing my ladder against her house. I do not need to be micromanaged, and would like to warn all other Contractors about her bahavior, except Angie does not let Contractors name Homeowners. I already spent more time than the money is worth for a Big Deal. Contractors should be able to submit Reviews for Homeowners, instead of only replying to Homeowners' Reviews.

Mr. Nelson was punctual and knowledgeable within the scope of his expertise. He installed a new outside electrical outlet and flood light. Apparently the original installer did not install these fixtures properly. He installed the electrical outlet and outside floodlight but recommended I get a licensed electrician to properly weatherproof and re-install these fixtures to prevent future corrosion. He installed the new bathroom vent and saved me some money by replacing the motor rather than the entire assembly. I would hire Mr. Nelson again for handyman work. Next time though for specialized work involving work such as electrical or even plumbing I will get a licensed electrician or plumber. Overall I am satisfied with Mr. Nelson's work but having to redo the outlet and lighting fixture at some future date was not part of my plan.

I had sent advance list of items to be done. Nelson walked around and looked at areas and gave me reasons why he could not do the work. One big reason is that he does not climb ladders. He should have told me he could not do the work instead of delaying my projects waiting for him to come out before contacting another contractor who could actually do the work. Other contractor cost more but my projects were completed.

Nelson and I spoke and emailed several times to nail down the details of the work needed. He came to my house to look at the project and gave me advice on which boards on my deck needed replacing. He did arrive a few minutes later than agreed because he actually picked up the treated lumber for the project. I was very impressed with how much he accomplished in the three hours of handyman service I had purchased. And he left everything as it was when he arrived, helping me to move the furniture back where it had been. He was very pleasant and professional while he was working.
Description of Work: Repaired deck and installed under cabinet lighting in kitchen.
