Apparently we have damage behind our grout, which I feared, but it was more extensive than I thought. He showed me the damage in our shower area, which he was unable to fix. He only does basic grout or sealant repair, he does not re-tile, so there was risk of tile getting damaged if he went further. He sealed most of it up and recommended that we have all the tile torn out and redone by someone. He also said that our tub was installed incorrectly and our shower door was originally installed incorrectly and showed me how and why. I understand that there was not much else that could be done, but I had hoped that by getting this deal that I would have had someone come out who could have quoted me if I needed any additional work. I wish that he had sealed up all the damaged areas, just temporarily so that I could have it watertight until I could get someone else out to repair the shower. He only sealed the main corners because he said to remove the old material to seal it properly could damage the tile.
Description of Work: I needed grout/sealant repaired in the shower.

Well, it appears that they were hoping for major accomplishments, and I am just handling minor work. The condition of the tile is what it is, and I have no control over that. They need to find a Tile Specialist who can re-do the area.

It didn't. I could never get I. Touch with anyone from the company, through telephone or email.
Description of Work: I paid to for 3 hours of handyman service through Angie's List and never got a response from the company. I called the number provided for almost 2 weeks and never got an answer OR an answering service. It just rang until I hung up. I also emailed twice, same thing, no response. I contacted Angie's List and without hesitation, they refunded me.

Initially, the Client purchased this special during a time when I was not keeping up with the administration of my business. Frustrated, she gave up on hearing from me and gave me an "F" Review. I contacted her and offered to make it right. We scheduled a time and I visited and accomplished what she wanted done. Because of this, she was gracious to change her Review to what you see here. I am very happy to have rectified this unfavorable situation, and will be happy to do so for anyone else not hearing from me in a reasonable time.

Nelson was Awesome! I had purchased about $100 worth of stuff from Lowes thinking he needing to replace. He fixed/repaired everything and I was able to return those things back to Lowes. Thanks Nelson for saving me $100! I would definitely use him again for future projects in my home!
Description of Work: He fixed 3 toilets, smoke detector, bathroom fan and changed out a couple of air filters.

Nelson arrived on time and was well-prepared to work. He chose an almond caulk for our shower that worked out very well. He was courteous, professional, and cleaned up after the work was done. A pleasant experience overall.

This family live right close by, so I had to drive around a bit to warm my engine fully before arriving. (One should always warm fully a car engine to ensure fluids circulated fully. Even more important for Trucks). She is very, very smart. I'll have to read up on stuff before my next visit.

Changing the receptacles took less time than I had expected, mainly due to lack of overpaint. I worked at my best pace, stopping only to stretch. (Imagine cramping up...NOT!) So, she definitely got three hours worth, and I will be happy to visit again and do more.

He came to the house Day before ice and snow storm to check the job. He said he would come back when nicer weather and warmer. Of course we certainly understood that. After weeks of not hearing from him and numerous voicemails we were told he would decline on doing the job. This was more than the 30 day guarantee for Angies list so our the money. We will also not renew Angles list membership after this transaction.

I was concerned that it took several days for him to respond to my purchase from Angie's List but when he did respond, we were able to schedule a good time for him to come. He was delayed in arriving but called to let me know he would be late. When a piece broke in a light fixture when he was changing the bulbs, he made other repairs while I went to get a new fixture. He accomplished all I had requested and a little more in the time stipulated by the Deal.
Description of Work: I needed repairs made to walls and doors where there had been water damage and dents in the walls. He also worked on straightening a door on my screened porch and replaced a light fixture in my kitchen.

Quick and excelent work done. You can learn a thing or two from him. He is a very knolegeable person, he will explain in detail what he is going to do next and he will do it very well. Personable and polite, he is easy to work with. The charge for the project was decent and the work well done. I would hire him again.

This project turned out a little different than what was originally envisioned. He was very understanding about the trim pieces and the door being a bit shorter than required. I installed a spacer under the threshold which raised it up and provided additional rain barrier capability thingy y'know. Really nice couple, and they make great coffee!

Finally Nelson is able to come to my house today and see the projects I have lined up for him to pick from but he said he works by himself and can only handle smaller projects and asked that I get my "$129.00 for 3 hours of skilled handyman labor" refund from Angie's List since he cannot perform the requested service. Nelson did walk with me around the house and provided some sound advice which I appreciate.
