We had to discuss the best way to accomplish what she wanted. Once agreed, I got it done and her Husband offered to take the demolished parts away. Glad to help, ready to return if needed.

I recall receiving a phone call from someone whose name sounded like [Member Name Removed]. He was so unintelligible that I had to end the phone call. If this is him, I have to ask you to speak clearly. I would also ask you to be honest, because you checked the box for 'Service Performed', and I have done absolutely nothing for this person. He has submitted an untrue Review.

Response from Nelcon Residential Repair & Construction
I have clearly stated on my Profile that I will not have working relationships with General Contractors, Real Estate Salesmen, or owners of Rental Properties. Even more galling, the Rental Property Owner, upon not receiving an immediate response from me, solicited another Contractor who had already visited the Property! Just another reason to support my decision to not work on Rental Properties.

Overall a good Review. I am at a loss as to knowing what I did to receive grades of B in two categories besides overall. The fact that the remote was incompatible with the ceiling fan was beyond my ability to affect, even discern prior to my Visit.

Sometimes it turns out that somebody else, perhaps a crew, or other Trade skill, is needed. After discussion with the Client, I suggested another method, and asked the Client to obtain a Refund. I am very grateful to receive a great Review grade even though I did not perform any services.

The repairs went well. Nelson was very conscientious about informing us of issues he saw with the house as he removed the outer layer of siding to reveal the hidden problems. These additional necessary repairs were added to the original estimate at a fair price. He offered to do additional work while he had the ladder boards installed, which we agreed to. I was also pleasantly surprised to see a small amount of additional painting he did that wasn't even a part of the current contract. Nelcon offers the homeowner a high-quality repair and construction service option for those projects that have to be done correctly with superior materials. If you want low prices, poor and/or random materials and haphazard work done on your house, look elsewhere. There are plenty of contractors out there who can provide that for you.
Description of Work: Removal of 20 year old Abitibi siding on one wall and one side of a dormer window, replacement of rotten sheathing and framing, repair of moldy insulation, installation of felt paper, replacement of siding with Hardiplank, removal of rotten trim, replacement of trim with solid PVC, caulking of seams and painting new siding and trim to match existing exterior colors.

Nelson said he would do the job in three days and he did, in spite of very warm, humid weather plus a lot of smoke in the air from the wildfires in the eastern part of the state. Since my husband and I were at work, Nelson took "before and after" photos which were really helpful. He had to do some extra work because the damage was more extensive than originally thought, once the old siding had been taken off. Nelson also did repairs to our screen porch for a nominal charge. He completed the work in the three-day time period (Wednesday through Friday), but came over on Saturday morning to do a walk-through with both my husband and me to show us what he had done. He was very knowledgeable and helpful which we appreciated, being first-time homeowners. We gave Nelson our garage door opener to access the house and left a key so he could lock up when he left. The final cost was slightly higher than the original estimate, but again, this was because of the extra work. Nelson did a great job and we definitely plan to use him again.
Description of Work: We have Masonite siding on our 11 year old home. There was a hole in one of the boards plus we could see where water must have gotten behind the siding since it looked "swollen". We had a vinyl siding salesperson come over. He couldn't give us a quote until we picked the style of siding that we wanted, but we knew it would cost quite a bit. We didn't want to make that kind of investment at this time plus the salesperson said that while they would remove and repair any damaged Masonite, the majority of the vinyl siding would be put over the remaining Masonite which we really weren't comfortable with. I found Nelson on Angie's list and made an appointment to meet with him one afternoon (my husband was at work). When Nelson came over, he did a very thorough inspection of the outside of the house. He pointed out the work that he thought should be done immediately and work that could be done down the road. He told me in detail what repairs he would be making on the siding and the materials he would be using. Nelson gave me an estimate of the cost and how long he thought it would take. We felt the estimate was reasonable so we decided to go ahead with the work.

Mr. Petteys called me quickly after I left him a message. He was very professional and arrived on time. He looked at the loose pieces of vinyl siding and quickly got his tools to fix the siding. He also reattached a piece that had come off during a wind storm. He's very friendly and informative. We had him give us some estimates on other home improvement projects that we have in the house.

This is a one man business, and he was recommended by a friend who used him. He visited the site shortly after our phone contact and responded with a written proposal a few days later. His was not the lowest bid for the work, but his evident pride in his work, the fact he does it all himself, and the recommendation from our friend lead us to trust him with the job. He began the job a week after we signed the contract, and he finished it within the week (despite 1.5 days of rain). He was professional, skilled, and worked quickly. He was dependable, showing up when he said he would and calling before he came the first day. He requested access to the house for water and bathroom breaks and stored his tools in our garage during the week. He was eager to please, hopeful for more work later. We were very pleased with the quality of his work. He does much more than deck repairs, and we expect to use him for a variety of home repair projects, including siding/fascia replacement.
Description of Work: The railing and 2x2 spindles on our deck were rotted. Nelson replaced the railing, spindles, and trim on the posts. He also caulked, primed, and painted these repairs. In addition, he replaced a rotting wooden screen door with a quality vinyl screen door and also replaced one rotting 12 foot long piece of siding on the house.
