Woo-hoo, Jargon! I showed up a bit early such that Ms. [Member Name Removed] had not arrived yet. I got permission from her Husband to go ahead with the install, and finished it before she returned. Fun work.

Excellent, he does good work. He is very efficient and knowledgeable. Would hire him again. Service cost is not for the fan special, it's for the additional work.
Description of Work: Initially just an installation special for a ceiling fan. Hired Nelson to do additional work around the house.

The electrical [Member Information Removed] was held in place with two nails, unsat for a ceiling fan. I was able to replace one nail with a screw, and it is solid. I am always very concerned about safety issues, so this is as secure as it can be without upgrading to current building code requirements.

We agreed on a time of 1 pm. I had been at my sister's in Hillsborough the night before. I returned home at 12:35 pm exactly. He did not show. When I emailed him that evening asking what happened, his response was nobody answered the door so he left. He said he was in a hurry, that he had five jobs scheduled and I needed to find someone closer to home (he is in Raleigh, I in Chapel Hill). The only thing I can figure is that he showed up before I got home, forgetting that we had agreed on a time of 1 pm. I later listened to a voicemail he left on my landline saying he was in the driveway, he did not say what time it was, but between the doorbell and the phone ringing, plus i had opened my windows after arriving home so I would have heard a car drive up, if it had been at the agreed upon time I would have heard it. Angies List did refund my money promptly.

This was a time when I had tried to schedule three projects and a visit on the same day. My GPS took me past the turn for her subdivision, into a trailer park, out of the park, back the way I came, then turned onto her street. The houses, by the way, were not marked according to the street numbers, but used some other system. I had to go to Google Maps to find her house. By the time I arrived, I had barely enough time to accomplish her task then zip over to the next project. I clearly overextended myself and will not do that again. She has every right to be upset, so I will accept her Review as such and work at doing better in the future.

Nelson did an excellent job. I bought the caulking special to work in one area up to 2 hours. Because my kitchen was so small and he was so efficient, he was able to caulk both the kitchen and tub in less than an hour! Thank you!

The fan is up and working fine. I had asked for a flush mount and it actually drops down about 3 inches, I'm not sure whether that was within their control or not.

Ceiling fans that are Flush Mount are designed as such and ceiling fans that hang on a tube are designed differently. They are not interchangeable. The Client should have purchased a Flush Mount, and I would have been happy to install it.

The fact that this house had Aluminum wiring is beyond my control. I prefer to defer work of this sort to a Licensed Electrical Contractor, as there are liabilities involved which I choose to not accept. So, the Client chose to give me a bad grade? Would he have been happier if I installed it, a fire resulted, and his house burned down? I think not. I hope that this Client considers this before using anyone's services again.

I had some difficulty in identifying the Client in a text message. The project was scheduled for one month after purchase due to overload of Big Deal Purchases. I was hoping to combine projects in that far-away town (over an hour's drive round trip. I am sorry this situation deteriorated to the point of refund. Since I have no control over refunds, the Client should contact the Help Desk to handle that. I do not intend to travel to this town for any more work. If someone there purchases one of my Big Deals again, I will simply request they get a refund immediately.

Great. He was prompt, courteous and extremely helpful. He even walked my property and pointed out some areas that needed immediate attention. He fixed what I asked him to and had some great suggestions for addressing some other areas that need attention.

There are a lot of homes with similar problems, and I am accustomed to spotting them quickly. Even if the Client's Tasks do not include these things, I am happy to walk around and point out items that, if addressed, will make the home even better.

I received an email from Angie's List offering a deal of $129.00 for 3 hours of SKILLED handyman services. I renovate distressed properties for a living so I was on a tight time frame to complete the job before listing the house for sale. This vendor was contacted directly by phone to inquire as to how far out he was scheduling so that I would not purchase the deal if his schedule was 2 - 3 weeks out, saving us both some time and aggravation. After a brief conversation in which I could hear that he was continuing to work at something even while speaking on the phone, he asked if I was a "flipper" and when I said yes, I did residential renovations he became rude and said he did not work with "flippers" . Before I could ask him why he did not or even utter another word, he promptly hung up on me. I found this behavior to be childish and totally unprofessional and would never recommend that anyone looking for any type of construction or handyman related assistance engage the services of this company - EVER.

I have made it clear in my Storefront on Angie's List that I do not work on Rental Properties. I have extended this to include persons purchasing properties to renovate and sell quickly, a process known as 'flipping'. The person's 'tight time frame' is typical of Flippers, and not my problem. Once I was told that he was flipping the house I stated that I do not work on houses being flipped. What followed could be described as a stunned silence, during which I ended the call. The person appears to have modified his Review, spending more time and causing more aggravation that he himself stated he wished to avoid. It appears that he wishes to blame me for his problems; another reason to never, ever, work on Rental Properties.
