"Davidson and Son. I had a deck around my pool put up exactly 1 year ago from today by Justin’s and his crew and it is now separating from every joint and he refuses to fix it. He told me he would be back last year because the wood started to warp after a month of being up and he never came. I let it go because it was only a couple pieces but now the entire deck is separating. There are a ton of nails and screws the deck posts were pit directly into the ground instead of using sona tubes so it will surely rot a lot quicker if it was done the right way. Mind you this is someone I have known for years as well and does not stand behind his work and told me he spent enough time on it and will not fix it and doesn’t make the wood. Except if everything was plum etc. it wouldn’t be doing this."

"We chose Bella for our kitchen addition project because they were professional and friendly. Our project from start to finish took almost a year, which was longer than we expected but Bella helped us throughout the whole process. We felt comfortable with them in our home and valued their opinion on design and product. We are extremely happy with the end product and enjoy using our new space. Thank you Bella!"

"I first submitted my information to this company through their website. I received no response to that. I then called them twice to give my information. Each time I called, they told me I would hear from somebody in two to three days. I didn't receive a reply until I left a negative review. By the time I heard from someone named Ed, I already had another company out to inspect the damage in my home. I told Ed I'd get back to him if it didn't work out with that company. That company didn't get back to me for me to pay them and provide the estimates. I decided to try submitting my information for a project on Yelp. I received interest from one company. That company didn't call when they said they would, so it seemed like it was going to fall through with them. I called back Ed to set up a day and time to come out to visit. I ended up hearing from the company that I found after submitting my project to Yelp, and it seemed like they were going to come through with the estimates I needed. I called Ed back to cancel our appointment because I didn't want him wasting his time coming if this other company was going to provide the estimates. This other company wasn't calling when they said they would, getting back to me days later when I wasn't sure if I was ever going to hear from them again. I decided to call Ed to reschedule another appointment. This time he told me his boss didn't want to be involved with providing estimates if they're going to be used in a lawsuit. He referred me to another company, which didn't respond. After getting the runaround from two other companies, Ed and AW Martin got rid of me by referring me to a company that also didn't want to get involved. If a company has a problem with their estimates being used in a lawsuit, that sends up a red flag for me. It's frustrating, but I'm quickly learning how to deal with contractors. Don't tell them what you intend to use their estimates for. Fortunately, I've found a fifth company that I believe is going to provide the estimates I need. I was honest with them and told them why I needed the estimates, and they're even willing to appear in court to back up those estimates for a fee. In that case, I'm sure I can trust them, and their estimates will help me greatly with my lawsuit."

"We recently began planning to renovate our apartment and were searching for an architect who could provide a signed drawing to help us navigate the building permit process. During our search, we had a phone conversation with a project manager from a potential contracting company, and we were thoroughly impressed. He was incredibly patient in listening to the challenges we were facing with obtaining the permit. He took the time to explain each step in great detail, including some critical steps we had missed during our first attempt. His company also has a skilled architect who could handle the drawing process. What stood out the most was the project manager’s solid experience working with government staff for permit approval and his ability to oversee the entire renovation project. This made him a very strong candidate to help us address our permit issues. We deeply appreciate the time he dedicated to our project and his invaluable knowledge and patience during our phone call. His professionalism and expertise left a lasting impression, and we would highly recommend him to anyone in need of assistance with a renovation project."

"I am happy to write this review of Mr. Contractor and my renovation experience with Ken Spector. For the project with Mr. Contractor I did the design and technical drawings (framing, electrical, HVAC, trim and final detail) for an upper story, 1350 sq. ft. renovation of a condo in a historic high rise in downtown Philadelphia. The initial building dates back to 1910 and the unit had undergone (at least) one major renovation without permit. Demolition for the condo was back to the brick and involved the removal of 40,000 lbs of material. The ceiling and part of the structural floor were replaced. All plumbing drain and supply lines were relocated and replaced back to the waste/vent stack, most interior walls were replaced, electrical was rewired back to a new distribution box. All floors, trim, doors, cabinets, fixtures, and appliances were replaced. The construction took 9 months. Per square foot, this type of renovation is arguably the most difficult one can undertake. The condo renovation project with Mr. Contractor was more challenging, for example, than the design and construction of my custom home. There are two main points I would make about my experience. The first is the level of customization that Mr. Contractor was able to provide and the second is the reliability. On the first point, there were multiple aspects to the design and construction that had either rarely, or never, been incorporated into a project in the more than 30 years of experience possessed by multiple craftsman working for Mr. Contractor. A couple of examples include the use of clipped outside wall corners and elliptical transom stained glass inserts above the doors. Mr. Contractor was able to address the structural metal stud framing of the clipped corners so that they provided as much strength as traditionally framed corners. The stained glass inserts required Mr. Contractor work with specialized customer materials and dimensions and incorporate these into the construction. There are many other examples from this project including illuminated wall niches, 6’ wide granite window sills, multipart dentil molding trim, arched ceilings, pilasters with plinth blocks, customer provided column wraps with marble inserts, a zero curb ADA transfer shower, a 5’ long linear floor drain, floor to 9’ ceiling kitchen cabinets, and replacing structural flooring in a historic high rise. With respect to reliability I can also mention two examples. First, Mr. Contractor is a medium size family business based in Philly for 4 generations. The challenges of the work required that Mr. Spector draw from multiple trades and the skill sets of various craftsman. He coordinated electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing, drywall, paint, trim, appliances … everything. Whenever he needed to bring in new craftsmen or trade to the job site he was able to draw on the collective expertise of his employees at Mr. Contract and his depth of contacts across the trades in Philly to get the job done. My final point addresses the obvious for a job like this; building code compliance and structural issues due to the 100+ year age of the building. Ken Spector took the responsibility to work with HOA / management to ensure the job was completed. He was able to work through the challenges to obtain compliance for waste/vent stacks, ceiling structure, mechanical exhaust, and the failure of a structural floor between I-Beam spans on our upper floor in the high-rise. All of the work done my Mr. Contractor was permitted with the city and inspected to meet code. I consider myself very fortunate to have in Mr. Contractor the level of integrity to stick with a job, keep it on target in the face of obstacles that would turn most into vapor If you have job in Philly, no matter how challenging, how old/historic the building, or how much customization you want, give Mr. Contractor a call to get the work done. Overall Grade of A! PS: Pictures are examples of scope of work for this job: plans, demolition, framing, plumbing, tile, and a few shots of finish product,"
