Phelps & Son Enterprises

Nice man and elderly father team, trustworthy which is important, and did a good job. Hours of arrival were not suitable for me however -- noon or early afternoon arrival most days. Job could have been completed sooner with working 8 hr days.

Most of the time, the prices were fair. I've had them do some exterior remodeling in the past, such as putting on faucets and gutters, etc. They've also done vinyl siding. Most of the experiences with them have been pleasurable and consistent. There have been things that have had to be corrected but for the most part it's been satisfactory work.

They did and OUTSTANDING QUALITY JOB!!! Despite a couple delays for materials the job went exceedingly well. They were on time and on budget the whole way!

I found Phelps Enterprises on Service Magic.com and contacted him for a quote. Mr. Phelps was very professional and courteous during the walk through and reviewing the scope of work I wanted performed. He was on time for our appointment as well. He gave me a handwritten estimate and told me it would be at least 3-4 weeks before he could do any of it. He told me he had so much business that if I did not hear from him in a few weeks to keep calling until i reached him. I never heard from him again and in the next several weeks I went on Angie's list and found a high rated service provider to provide a quote and perform the work. The two other quotes I received were nearly $1,000 cheaper. Upon reflection I think Phelps was inundated with business and rather than turn down the business he simply attempted to price himself out or if I insisted on waiting nearly a month, paying a lot more and badgering him to do it, well then he could accomodate. Lesson learned: get several estimates and check Angie's list for reputation and ratings.

Mr. Phelps was very responsive to my call for an estimate. He came out and gave me lots of good tips, and I could tell that he had been doing remodeling for a long time and that he did quality work. We did not end up using his services, but we wouldn't hesitate to call him again if we needed him for anything else.

I have used him at the other house and here at this house. He has done some stuff for my sister. He has done electrical, plumbing and stuff like that. In terms of price, he is pretty reasonable. I would use his services again in the future.

I needed LOTS of updating to our 35 year old home (that should have been done years ago) so I made a wish list and then started calling locally listed handymen for estimates. I already had purchased the new lights, fans, etc and had most of the materials that were needed for my jobs, but I was shocked at the prices they were wanting just for labor! That is, until I contacted Dave Phelps... He came out, we chatted, I showed him what I wanted/needed done and he gave me an itemized price list on the spot. No waiting. SUPER NICE GUY!! Plus, his estimate was HALF of what the others wanted! I told him to start immediately. He showed up the next day w/ his son (who works with him) and they got going. After 5 days (not consecutive), it was all done and done correctly! I am thrilled! The previous owners had installed a plastic wash tub in the half bath downstairs (for reasons beyond me) and I wanted it moved next to the washer. The washer drain always seemed to be hooked up strangely to me and he confirmed that it wasn't correct. They removed all the pipes and supports from the half bath and patched the walls perfectly so that I could paint. Then they installed the wash tub next to the washer and reworked the washer plumbing so that all would flow the way it should have in the first place. Next they tackled the sagging wood shelves in our pantry off the laundry room. The previous owners had made them too long (20'+) and not placed the 2x4's where support was most needed. Dave and Jason reinforced the sagging areas and they sag no more! Perfectly straight and sturdy as all get out! I now have the neatest, most organized pantry/storage area around. Several of the old sockets had 3 way plugs but were't actually grounded as they should have been (not to housing code). Dave checked them all and put grounds where I needed them (GFI's in all the bathrooms). I also needed a few more sockets added in the garage and basement areas and he took care of those, too. Additionally, I wanted a light in my front closet, a new ceiling fan and light kit in my dining room, and a light in the attic storage area. All new wiring was run through the attic and walls ...poof! I have lights! But the biggest thing was the rewiring of the lights that hang on either side of the garage door and my yard post light. Before, in order for me to turn them on/off, I had to walk out into the garage and flip the switch wihich was just inside the automatic garage door. This was extremely inconvenient (and very cold in the winter) but necessary whenever I had company at night. Dave figured out the best way to do it and that job took the longest. But NOW...I turn on my outside lights FROM MY FRONT DOOR! YIPPEE! Dave was very frugal in purchasing no more materials than what was absolutely necessary. Of the above price only $300 was for additional materials, mainly wire. Total hours involved: 27 hours @ 5-6 hours each day.
