Mr. Contractor Inc

Overall, the experience was fine. It was very expensive for what was done, but I’m fairly satisfied.

The work was alright. They were recommended to me, and it was expensive. Everything was fine.

Overall, the experience didn?t go very well. ?They completed the work, but I think it was really over-priced. When we asked about the price, he wasn't very interactive and professional as to explaining why the cost was so high.

From the day Kenny came to my home to view the proposed project space until the final coat of paint was on the wall he was available day or night to answer any questions we had - and we had a lot! Everyone that came through our house and did any work for this project were complete professionals. We'd like to personally thank every one of the guys who worked on this project. We could not be more pleased with our new luxurious bathroom! We will, without hesitation, hire Kenny and his crew again for our next home improvement project. UPDATE: We had a few minor things that we were concermed about after the job was complete and paid in full. We received a call back promptly and there was never an issue with sending someone to take a look at the item(s) of concern. Repairs were made swiftly and professionally. Most others guys won;t even return your call once they have their money. Thanks again to Ken and his crew!

Ken with Mr. Contractor was great. My wife and I run a home business, and they redid an entire floor of our home to make it more office like and suitable for employees and meeting space. They did a fantastic job, were responsive, and I would absolutely recommend them again. Ken came out to meet with us twice to go over plans before we signed a contract. It was great to run through all of our ideas with him. He came up with lots of his own ideas, too, to improve on our vision. The process was to take no more than two weeks, but even between a ton of snow in January and February, the crew came out to our place, and they got the job done. It was about two days over their firm deadline, but I will acknowledge many issues with weather that they overcame to complete the job. Well done Mr. Contractor team! I plan on using them again in the future, and Ken was a pleasure to work through the entire process. Use Mr. Contractor!

I found them on Angie's List. At the end of the day the work turned out well. I had some rocky bits along the way. It was weather damage. I had water coming in that damaged the drywall. They split the job into 2. There was one group of people that came in to replace the drywall. They were on time, but didn't really seem like they wanted to be there doing the job. It seemed like it was a very rush job. They didn't clean up really well afterward. The work was fine and the company itself was very responsible. It was just one particular team that did not meet my expectations fully. The painters even sensed later and corrected the defects that the first group had left behind. They also did a wonderful job painting. At the end of it, the entire job and everything was great. I would use them again in the future.

Lonny, one of the principals in the business, came to my house to do an estimate. He was fair to deal with, and although I was concerned the price might have been a little high for the work involved, I agreed. Overall, the quality of the work was good, but there were definitely a few hiccups along the way. They declared the job "done" and left the work site without reattaching a downspout to a gutter 3 stories up, and also forgot to do some of the siding right beside my front entrance. They came back to finish up after I called to complain. Overall the work looks nice, although the materials used for siding weren't the best IMHO. I'd probably use them again but not without getting more competitive bids.

The work was completed quickly and the contractor met our completion date. Although the shelves are very attractive, two additional shelves are really needed to make the shelving fully functional. Unfortunately, I was away from the house all week during the construction period and was unable to provide the on-site daily supervision that was needed. We also did not explicitly state the number of shelves to be provided, making it hard to claim them later.

We had Mr. Contractor come over to fix a leaking issue on our 3rd floor and replace the water damaged ceiling in a room below. The first problem arose when rather than rip down the ceiling that had mold in it and replace it with new sheet-rock (as written in the invoice) they screwed the new sheet rock into the existing (moldy) sheet rock. Which left the original problem of mold in our ceiling and brought our ceiling lower by an inch which made our recessed lighting too deep in the roof. They insisted that there was no mold in the roof. I had to insist that they take it down and do the job as agreed upon. After being told that couldn't be done they eventually did it but insisted I now had to have molding (I didn't want it but accepted it). When I saw the sheet rock that they eventually took down there was, contrary to what they said, mold on it. After they "finished" the ceiling I had to ask them to sand it (as sanding was stated on the invoice). A strange conversation ensued that they had sanded... and that they couldn't sand 'cause it was wet... and that it was sanded ready for a painter to sand, "because a painter would have to sand before painting". I was baffled but gave up and later did the sanding myself - they were starting to get frustrated with me. We also payed them to put in a threshold between my hallway and bathroom. They couldn't "buy the piece they needed at Home Depot" so they made do with a piece of wood that has created a high lip that you need to be conscious of or you could easily trip. Not only that but where they've nailed in the strip of wood it has split on every nail and then they've fingered in some epoxy. Very visible and ugly. Once again trying to explain that I didn't want this. I wanted a threshold without split wood and epoxy fingered into the cracks they'd give reasons why it was like this. While we were trying to get the jobs done in a none "half-assed" manner they started getting annoyed and would talk loudly while my wife was home about how our house was built wrong and that we were annoying clients. (I can assure you we're very calm, nice people just wanting the job we payed for done in a passable manner). In the end we didn't get a call back from them on a Monday like they said they would about trying to put in an actual threshold in and the feeling of having them in our home was uncomfortable so we were happier to cut our losses and finish the sanding and do the threshold ourselves. The whole experience has made me to realize that, even with my limited handy-man skill set, that I can do a better job than these "professionals". It was a really horrible experience. Oh, The siding job was subcontracted to a 3rd party and done properly. We're happy with that.

I had a 203K loan, so he said that he wouldn't be able do the project. He advised me that he was a small company. He emailed me the next day after I had contacted him.

I was very pleased with the results.

The contractors were responsive, timely, and fair. I would use them again. No hassles or misinformation noted.

Their quote was extremely high. They followed up and seemed to be knowledgeable. The only problem was the price. They seemed like good people.

Steve was great. He was accessible by phone, came on time, and he really seemed to know what he was doing. It seems like a family run business that does quality work, and I would consider them for other projects in the future. However, for this project another high quality contractor gave me an estimate about $1000 less.

It went well - there was just one issue in that different people came a couple times and while the first person said that the rest of the stringers and foundation for this part of the house were OK, the second person who came out later disagreed and said they needed to be replaced.

The two workers came as requested and spent the entire day at work, carefully repairing the floor. They were polite, friendly, and careful workers.

Work was done on time and workers cleaned after themselves.

The work was done on schedule, and the workmen were pleasant and skilled. They tried to prevent accidental damage and cleaned up. The quality of the work was excellent. The estimate was the highest I received from several contractors. I did not receive the 5% discount which is advertised. He told me it was figured in. I did not receive the senior discount either. At the end, the tile setter was unhappy about the tile I chose, and the contractor told me in the middle of the job that it would cost hundreds of dollars more. This annoyed me because I knew that his price was high to begin with. We compromised, and I am very happy with my new kitchen.

As the estimate was not provided after repeated attempts to contact Barry, I cannot accurately respond to this question.

From the beginning I could tell I was dealing with a professional. Barry visited our home, gave us the estimate and discussed with us that sometimes there may be additional charges because they just don't know what the job entails until they start the work. This actually happened so there were no surprises. For the additional work, Barry explained everything that needed to be done and gave us a full written explanation of the additional work. The best part is we live in a historic district and Barry worked with the Philadelphia Historic District, which is a complicated process, but one that you have to go through in order to get things done. Sometimes you run into roadblocks, which he did but he handled it perfectly and kept us informed every step of the way. Toward the end of the project I noticed something wasn't quite right on the new drain spot and I spoke to Barry about it. He took care of it right away. I can't tell you how great an experience this was. I was very nervous about having any work done, especially this being a historic home, but I was so happy that I joined Angie's List and did my research. I would highly recommend Mr. Contractor and am having them come back to do my kitchen and powder room renovations.

We were in a real hurry to get our bathrooms done before my parents came to visit for Thanksgiving. We received a few estimates but Mr. Contractor was the only one able to get the work done in our time frame. Barry coordinated everything, including the demolition/dry wall/painting/plumbing/electrical/tile. There were a few unexpected delays (a late tile shipment and a pipe that unexpectedly needed to be replaced) but Barry was always on top of things and always quick to respond to our concerns. Everything was clearly delineated in writing at the start of the project and any additional work was also immediately priced and put into writing. All the workers were very professional and did an excellent job. When we eventually renovate our master bath, we will certainly be calling Mr. Contractor.

They did a very good job. The price was fair.

They've been incredibly prompt and professional. They've been easy to work with and very friendly. Most of the work has been great but there has been a small hiccup with the work so we are now just waiting to get that straightened out because part of the contract wasn't clearly stated.

Wonderful! Their work was solid and well priced. They were friendly and reliable, and very neat. We would highly recommend them. We added a number of elements as we went along and they were very patient with us. They are not "cheap" but they are a great value for the work.

Excellent! The estimate was in the ballpark of the figure I had in mind. The workers arrived promptly, all trash was removed from the site, communication was never a problem, the work was done in a timely fashion, and it was clear that my satisfaction with the work was paramount.
