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

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'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.

Windows
$4,000
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.

Siding Service
Yes, I recommend this pro
$2,300
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.

Stucco
$975
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.
Response from Mr. Contractor Inc
"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!!!
