Never called back.
Description of Work: Had a sales rep/estimator come out and do a walk through of an extensive remodel of an older row house in Manayunk. Took copious notes and asked lots of questions but after he left, we never heard from him again. Called and left phone messages and emailed, but to no avail. Guess he was just not interested.

Response from Mr. Contractor Inc
Our company takes any complaint about us seriously. And we do our best to figure out what may have gone awry. We question what we could have done better and address any complaint with the utmost attention. However, there are those instances where we find that the complaint is totally unfounded and quite frankly posted with intent to mislead future clients. This is one of those rare moments. Although there is always room for improvement within our services this particular client has grossly misrepresented the facts. Our Representative made the appointment to meet the client in the afternoon, which the client had stated after the appointment was made if he could arrive earlier it would be better. Our rep had the opportunity to accommodate the clients request and contacted the client and scheduled an earlier appointment with him. Our rep was on time even a little early for the appointment and the client however showed to the appointment late. It happens. Our rep walked through the entire property with the client taking notes. They covered the whole house from basement to roof. It was a large scope of work with a lot of detail. Prices for this size job are not given on the spot. Materials have to be priced and a proposal worked on, this takes time. After the initial appointment, the client contacted our rep and said he is looking into negotiating with an investor because he had issues with selling his property. Our representative emailed the client an estimate for the work proposed with pricing. The client states he never heard from him again and was never given an estimate is utterly false. The client even responded to the proposal wanting breakdowns of cost vs/ material vs. labor /per room. So communication was never an issue. We are unsure of the reasoning for this bad review that the client posted 2 months after last contact with him via email. We did not receive any phone call complaints from this client within that time. We would have been more than happy to perform the work quoted. Our integrity is very important to our company. Our 317 consecutive A+ review ratings, speaks for itself. It is disheartening to see such a negative, false, review posted. To be unhappy with a company for whatever reason is one thing, but to blatantly provide false and vagues testimony is unacceptable. We wish the client well with any future contractors he encounters.

replacement windows
+ -1 more
Contacted Steve, from Mr. Contractor to give an estimate of replacing six windows in our 100+ home. Steve came out with pictures of previous work and also bragged about the fact the "Philadelphia Magazine" just voted them the best contractor in Philadelphia. Steve kept telling me that I would be satisfied of the work because I explained to him about the problems that I had in the past with contractors who replaced other windows in my house. He kept telling me that I would be happy and satisfied. So I went with Mr. Contractor to install replacement windows. I put down $2,000.00 on the start of the job with the balance due upon completion. The windows had to be ordered and took 4 weeks. Workers came in, were not professional, left nails all over house, did not clean up. The caulking and capping job were poorly done. Last two windows were not the right size...couldn't reach their boss. They told me they had to chip away 1/2 inch on window. I told them they had to get a hold of their boss before they do anything. Boss told them to nail back old windows...which didn't fit anymore. Had at least 1 inch of gaps on sides of windows and they had nothing on their truck to fill the gaps and they were going to leave it like that. I made them caulk the gaps...waited another 4 weeks for the two remaining windows...finally installed them and then they had to fix/repair/replace wood trim. Horrible job on wood trim. They replaced wood trim with raw unfinished wood. Didn't even match up with the existing windows. They just used more caulk to try and fix it instead of doing the job right from the beginning. I had a balance of $2000, so they were forced to repair the wood trim to my satisfaction. They sent out a carpenter to finish the wood. He did do a good job. Considering he had to fix the mistakes of his coworkers. The original estimate included replacement of wood trim where needed. My hosue is 100+ years old...the wood trim had to be replaced. Steve told us we got the trim for free etc. If Steve was an experienced contractor he would of know from the moment he saw the windows what would be needed. Also, they had to replace the capping work that they orginally did. Did not sit on window properly and the caulking job was poor as well. The workers who did the window replacement were not professional and didn't care what the job looked like...all they cared about was the next job on the list. Finally paid the balance and the contractor forgot the warranty for the windows. They said they would put it in the mail.... ya right. They are just trying to make a buck and do not care about the finished project.

Response from Mr. Contractor Inc
WE ARE WRITING IN RESPONSE TO THE POSTING BY ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS. WE DISPUTE THE REPRESENTATIONS MADE IN THE POSTING REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE BY OUR COMPANY. THE POSTING IS FROM A DISGRUNTLED CUSTOMER WHO, PRIOR TO OUR CONTRACTING FOR SERVICES, HAD EXPRESSED HOW IN THE PAST THERE HAD BEEN MANY PROBLEMS WITH PREVIOUS CONTRACTORS. WE HAD BEEN ADVISED THAT SHE HAD HIRED AND FIRED A NUMBER OF CONTRACTORS WHO PERFORMED WORK ON HER HOME IN THE PAST. DESPITE THIS, WE FELT THAT THE NATURE OF THE WORK THAT WE WERE BEING ASKED TO PERFORM (REPLACEMENT WINDOWS WHICH WERE REQUIRED TO BE CUSTOM MEASURED AND BUILT WAS THE TYPE OF WORK WHICH ARE COMPANY HAS PERFORMED FOR COUNTLESS CUSTOMERS IN THE PAST. ONCE THE CONTRACT WAS ENTERED INTO, THE CUSTOM WINDOWS WERE ORDERED. AS WITH ALL CUSTOM ORDERED JOBS, THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE AND TAKES NUMBER OF WEEKS TO BE CUSTOM MADE. THIS WAS EXPLAINED TO THE CUSTOMER WHO UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME. FROM THE POSTING, THE CUSTOMER OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT SATISFIED, HAD GRIPES AND COMPLAINTS. ONCE THE WINDOWS WERE BUILT AND SHIPPED, THEY WERE PLACED IN LINE FOR INSTALLATION AT THE RESIDENCE. OUR INSTALLERS WENT IN, DID THE NECESSARY WORK TO INSTALL THE WINDOWS AND, UNFORTUNATELY, DISCOVERED THAT TWO (2) OF THE WINDOWS HAD NOT BEEN SIZED PROPERLY AND DID NOT FIT THE SPACE. THE OPTION TO ADDRESS THE DIFFERENCE IN SIZE WAS EXPLAINED AND THE CUSTOMER DECIDED TO WAIT FOR NEW WINDOWS TO BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED. AS A RESULT, THE OLD WINDOWS WERE REINSTALLED TO SECURE THE RESIDENCE AND TO BE IN PLACE ON A TEMPORARY BASIS UNTIL THE NEW REFITTED WINDOWS ARRIVED. AGAIN, WITH CUSTOM MADE JOBS, THE NEW WINDOWS TOOK A FEW WEEKS TO RECEIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE ORDER WAS EXPEDITED AND THE WINDOWS WERE THEN INSTALLED. THEY FIT WELL AND WERE PROPERLY INSTALLED. ONCE INSTALLED, WOOD TRIM WAS PLACED AROUND THE WINDOWS. AS THE CONTRACT DID INDICATE, WOOD TRIM WOULD BE A PART OF THE JOB; HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT CONTEMPLATED BY THE CONTRACT THAT THE WOOD TRIM WOULD BE FINISHED BY ANY TYPE OF PAINTING. ONCE INSTALLED, THE JOBSITE WAS INSPECTED, CLEANED AND THE WORK CREW DEPARTED. THE CUSTOMER DELAYED FOR MANY WEEKS PAYING THE BALANCE ON THE CONTRACT BUT, ULTIMATELY, PAID THE CONTRACT IN FULL. THE CUSTOMER SEEKS TO TARNISH THE REPUTATION OF OUR COMPANY AND DISCREDIT THE SERVICES PERFORMED. THIS IS UNJUSTIFIED, UNWARRANTED AND VINDICTIVE. OUR COMPANY TAKES PRIDE IN WORKING TO THE SATISFACTION OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND IN PERFORMING QUALITY SERVICES AND WORK. WE ARE COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT NOT ALL JOBS GO PERFECTLY SMOOTH AND THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ADJUSTMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE MADE. OFTEN WHEN REPLACEMENT WINDOWS ARE TO BE INSTALLED, ADJUSTMENTS AND PACKING ARE REQUIRE IN THE OPEN FRAMING. OCCASIONALLY, FRAMES HAVE TO BE BUILT UP WHILE AT OTHER TIMES THE FRAMING HAS TO BE REMOVED FOR THE NEW WINDOWS TO FIT. DESPITE THESE OBSTACLES, OUR COMPANY WORKS TO PERFORM UNDER THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR CLIENTS AND TO GO BEYOND THAT WHEN NECESSARY. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THIS INSTANCE WE HAVE A DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER. FOR THIS, WE ARE DISAPPOINTED, HOWEVER, WE PERFORMED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE CONTACT AND THEN SOME WITH THIS PARTICULAR CUSTOMER, HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT SHE WILL CONTINUE TO FEEL DISSATISFIED WITH CONTRACTORS WHO WORK ON HER BEHALF PERHAPS WE WERE OVERLY OPTIMISTIC WHEN WE FIRST AGREED TO UNDERTAKE THIS CONTRACT KNOWING THAT SHE HAD A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH PRIOR CONTRACTORS. HOWEVER, WE FEEL THAT EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO BE GIVEN THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. WE ALSO EXPECT IN THE FUTURE, WHEN THIS CUSTOMER CONTRACTS WITH OTHER COMPANIES TO PERFORM WORK IN HER HOME, SHE AGAIN WILL BE DISSATISFIED, HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT CONTRACTOR AND AIR HER GRIEVANCE. IT IS LIKELY THAT SHE WILL NEVER BE FULLY SATISFIED WITH ANY WORK BEING PERFORMED. AS FOR OUR COMPANY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO TRY AND PERFORM QUALITY SERVICE THAT HAS BEEN THE EARMARK OF OUR COMPANY AND FOR WHICH WE HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED IN OUR COMMUNITY. OUR PROFESSIONALISM AND QUALITY WORKMANSHIP IN OUR FOURTH GENERATION FAMILY BUSINESS WILL CONTINUE TO BE SOMETHING OUR COMPANY WILL SEEK TO UPHOLD AS WE CONTINUE FORWARD INTO THE NEXT GENERATION. SINCERELY, MR. CONTRACTOR INC.

siding
+ -1 more
I had a small water leak along the back side of my house. The water was coming in the ceiling/wall of the basement along side the back deck. I got several estimates and the information provided by Mr. Contractor made the most sense and felt like the best solution. They were very responsive from start to finish. The were on time for the free estimate as well as the work day. They finished the work in one day as promised. Since the work was done several months ago and many a severe rain, there has been no additional leakage and it looks great! The other estimates I received were for less which is why I did not rate them an 'A' on price. Sometimes it is worth it to pay more. The other 'B' was given because one of the workers called in sick. They did a great job of finding a sub so they could complete the work on the promised day. But I had the strong sense that the replacement worker was not skilled at siding but rather a set of extra hands. But I can't rate them any lower because they did the job as promised and fixed the problem.
Description of Work: They installed new siding along the back of my house. This included complete removal of old siding and gutter, installation of flashing and new siding with new gutter.

Mr. Contractor sent a representative to the house and said that the job was too small, and that they had to charge a minimum. The job was a stucco wall 9 feet x 7 feet. I was going with the job anyway, however, when the time came for the written agreement, it was documented as a side job and not being performed by a Mr. Contractor employee. End of story, I canceled the work order.

THE MEMBER CALLED US TO LOOK AT A JOB FOR HIM. WE LOOKED AT HIS WORK AND GAVE HIM A PRICE. HE DID NOT HAVE THE FINANCES TO DO THE WORK. YES WE DO HAVE A MINIMUM, IT IS NOT $975.00. WE TOLD THE MEMBER WE COULD NOT POSSIBLY DO THE WORK FOR THE AMOUNT THAT HE SUGGESTED. BUT IN GOOD FAITH WE DID RECOMMEND HIM TO A COMPANY THAT COULD POSSIBLY HELP HIM. HE DID NOT HAVE AN AGREEMENT OR AS HE STATED A WORK ORDER WITH OUR COMPANY, NO CONTRACTS WERE SIGNED, NO TRANSACTIONS MADE AT ALL, WE DO NOT "DOCUMENT SIDE JOBS" OUR COMPANY DOES EVERYTHING BY CONTRACT. WE ARE SORRY WE COULD HELP THE MEMBER,AND TRIED TO REFER HIM TO ANOTHER REPUTABLE COMPANY THAT PROBABLY COULD.

From the moment I called to an ask for an estimate to the completion of the job, everything went very well. Someone came out to look at the house and make an estimate just a few days after I called. The work was scheduled shortly after that and completed in one day about a week later. In a variety of little ways both the quality of the work and the level of customer service were top notch: the crew was polite, all the repairs looked great, people were easy to work with, etc. One thing to note is that they're certainly not the cheapest contractor available, but they're not the most expensive either, and the level of quality, service, and responsiveness more than made up for the price.

Left an email for company and returned call by the next day and visit the following day. He said he would be here at 10am and was here at 9;30am. Barry helped with insurance estimate, which was a few hundred lower. Brought jacks to keep deck up, removed post, made new cement foundation, clean up was done and very professional. Made sure cat didn't get out. Crew was wonderful. I am very happy with their work. In fact, they had replaced railings on the deck 5 years ago and 17 windows. Excellent company!!!
Description of Work: 10 foot post on back deck was struck by vehicle and left broken.
