Nelson came on time and asked to be shown what I wanted him to do. He then got down to business. First he fixed the strike plate outside on my deck's storage room door that didn't fully close anymore. Then he came back inside and started to paint all of the areas that needed touching up. He did this very thoroughly and because I have two cats who I kept in my bedroom during Nelson's visit, Nelson use a heating gun (?) to dry the areas that he painted so the cats wouldn't smell anything or damage the newly painted area close to the floor. At some point soon, I hope to have Nelson install new Schlage locks on my doors.
Description of Work: He fixed the strike plate on my storage room door and he painted floor boards and other areas that needed touching up. He also assessed my door locks and suggested the changes I should make.

I love cats. Their Owner was pleasant to work with and everything worked out well for this Big Deal. I will be happy to get those locks in once ready, and anything else she may want me to fix. (PS I also love dogs; will I get in trouble with the Cat Owners for that?)

I was unable to reach provider as he did not return emails or answer calls after 1/12/15. I finally reached him tonight on the phone.. He said the 2 clients for whom he did complete paint jobs were not pleased with his work. Asked if there were any handyman jobs he could do for me in exchange. After the poor report above, I declined. He suggested that I request a refund.
Description of Work: Nothing for me.

My initial review cited no response by provider to calls and emails - took 2 months for service, but it turned out provider was understandably overwhelmed with over 40 responses to his offer made in February. Once we made contact, response was satisfactory. He listened to questions and provided clear explanations about what he was doing (specifically about how diverter would take care of garage leak) - also answered questions about larger problems in my house outside the scope of his assignment. Work was completed quickly and efficiently. I would use this provider again.
Description of Work: Installed dimmer switch in living room, installed hooks to hold brooms in garage, moved bathroom towel hooks - then plastered and sanded holes - addressed gutter overflow problem by installing diverter on garage roof.

Was responsive. Called to set up appt within allotted time frame. It snowed on the scheduled day so repairman called to push time out to Saturday. I called to make sure he was coming the day before and he confirmed saying he would arrive between 12 and 4. He arrived at 12. I signed up for three hours of service, he explained that he had received 42 jobs from Angie's List and was in somewhat of a hurry to get to the next job. He hung the cabinets with some assistance of my son who held the cabinets in place. We were okay with that. He finished in approximately 1 1/2 hours. Unfortunately, I did not have a list of all of other small repairs for him to do for the remaining time. My fault. The only reason I did not give A ratings in all areas was because the repairman seemed rushed, did not clean up completely after jobs (discard cabinet boxes) and left nail holes in the all where he nailed leveling board. Also, while I am not a neat freak, I would have liked for him to have wiped the snow off of his workshoes before entering and exiting my home. It would have been nice to wear the work booties on carpet. Otherwise he got the job done and my cabinets are finally up.
Description of Work: Hung two cabinets; one over desk in kitchen, one over dryer in laundry room.

Nelson is very knowledgeable, personable and professional. He initially felt that both of my projects would require a plumber licensed for specific tasks beyond his credentials but upon learning I would abandon the projects in light of the additional expense he revisited both and determined a legitimate method of completing the work to both our satisfaction. When I realized there was a small glitch with the faucet install, he readily returned to smooth it out. Very pleasant transaction and I am delighted to have both of these chores completed!
Description of Work: Replaced fill hoses with new (supplied) on my washing machine. Installed new (supplied) kitchen faucet.

I told the provider that I would be home at nine or a little after. He was not there, and I waited for an hour before calling him. He was angry with me, and said that he'd been there twice already and left after waiting an hour. He also said he would be charging me for the hour. He had my phone number, but never tried to call.
Description of Work: He was supposed to paint one room.

I was expecting a complete turnkey job. The faucets were installed, but 3 of the faucets has leaky turnoff valves after installation. Nelcon was not a professional plumber and could not replace the turnoff valves. I had to hire a plumber to come out and take care of the leaky valves. That is why I gave and overall rating of a B even though I gave Nelcon and A in all categories. I made an appointment to have Nelcon Residential Construction and Repair to install 4 faucets and hoses I had purchased. Nelcon showed up on time, and installed the faucets. The effort took 20 minutes longer than the 2 hour limit in Angie's List $99 price, and Nelcon only charged an extra $20. I thought the overall price was good. Nelcom was a professional in how he performed the work, and the quality of the work he performed was good. I will definitely use Nelcon's services again. I wish I could have given him an overall A for the project.
Description of Work: Installed 3 bathroom and 1 kitchen faucets

It was fine. He completed the work. It took them two hours to complete the job. He couldn't complete some of it because he wasn't a licensed plumber. He couldn't shut the water off to the whole house. He can only do what he could do in terms of not setting all the water off.

Nelson was great. He went above and beyond. Communication was prompt and thorough.
Description of Work: Dug up existing wooden mailbox post which was rotted, installed wooden post with quikrete and attached a mailbox kit (pvc sleeve) and mailbox. Removed remaining debris from work area. Also took a look at a leaking dishwasher and we discussed repair vs. replacing it. Then he went into the crawlspace to look at an issue with what I thought was the dryer vent, but it turned out to be the bathroom exhaust.

He said he can’t fix a leak and doesn’t really do plumbing work, since he isn’t licensed. He was very polite and was here within the time window. It took 5 weeks to get an appointment with him, though, and I sent multiple requests to schedule.

He was supposed to show up between8-9am. I finally called him around 10am and it sounded like I woke him up. He showed up around 11am and patched the hole in the wall. He was nice and seemed fairly knowledgeable but he wasn't very reliable.

I wanted Nelcon to install a new faucet and garbage disposal in my kitchen sink, after I had put in granite counters. He was flexible enough to work with me in getting the job scheduled. He was prompt, professional, and went right to work getting it all sorted out and installed. The finished product looks, and works, great. I recommend his services, and plan on using him for other small jobs that I will need done in the future.

Nelcon showed up on time and got to work quickly. Due to an immature tenant, there were many holes in my walls, some of which were too big for me to handle. Nelcon patched them, mudded them, used a product that dried quickly with a heat gun, mudded some of them again, dried those patches, and then sanded everything. He was very friendly, yet professional. And since this was one of Angie's deals, for 2 hours, didn't waste time with chit chat. He continued working while we talked. He completed all the work in the two hour period. I would definitely recommend him again and will call him for other projects.

I received a lot of requests for plumbing fixture repairs. So, I was glad when these folks allowed me to come out on a Sunday to evaluate the problem. The part furnished with the fixture was not sufficient to seal the connection so I made a quick parts run for a bigger part. That worked, and I obtained a second larger part for their other bathroom, assuming the same situation would exist there. Nice folks, and they might need me for future work on a bath remodel. I'm available!
