We hired Mr. Contractor to completely renovate the kitchen and primary bathroom in our 130-year-old…read morePhiladelphia home, and we're thrilled with how everything turned out. When we were choosing a contractor, Mr. Contractor's Yelp rating gave me some hesitation - especially given the high ratings elsewhere. But when I read the reviews themselves rather than just looking at the overall rating, many of the complaints seemed to involve relatively small jobs. We needed someone for a large, complicated renovation of a very old house, and the experience and capabilities Ken demonstrated seemed much better suited to that kind of project. Having now completed the job, I'm very glad we made that distinction. This was a big project, and our old house threw plenty of surprises at us. Once the demo began, our engineer found that part of the kitchen needed to be structurally rebuilt from the foundation up. That meant coordinating with our architect and structural engineer and substantially expanded the work. Despite that and the many twists and turns that followed, Ken and his crew kept things moving and completed an extraordinary amount of work in just 10 weeks. What really stood out was the crew. These guys were craftsmen who took genuine pride in what they were building. More than once, they spent extra time on something simply to get the finished result just right or recommended enhancements that were not charged. A friend who is a high-end interior designer saw the kitchen afterward and was impressed by the quality of the construction and attention to detail. We also lived in the house throughout the renovation. The crew was friendly and respectful, and they cleaned up the work areas at the end of every day -- something we came to appreciate enormously during 10 weeks of construction. Was every little detail perfect the first time? No. But that's actually part of why I'm comfortable giving Ken five stars. When something wasn't right, he worked to make it right. He and his team stayed engaged through the end of the project, addressed our punch-list items, and have continued to stand behind their work afterward. And we LOVE the result. The kitchen has completely changed the way we live in the house. It has become the place where our family naturally gathers, and it's as comfortable and functional to cook in as it is beautiful. The new bathroom has been equally transformative. At the beginning, I worried that we might be spending too much on the project - and it was significant. But by the end, having seen the amount of work involved and the quality and care that went into it, I felt exactly the opposite: we received very good value for our money. My takeaway is that Ken's particular strength is a substantial, complex project where you need an experienced GC who can keep multiple trades moving, deal with unexpected conditions, solve problems as they arise, and see the whole thing through. Renovating a 130-year-old house isn't easy, and I'd much rather have a contractor who knows how to deal with the inevitable problems and stands behind the finished product. We'd happily hire Ken and Mr. Contractor again.

I recently contracted Bresch to repair a window and was given a quote with the understanding that…read moreif there were more damage to the area surrounding the window, the price would increase. When the window was torn apart, additional repairs were needed and he never came by to give me another estimate for the expanded work that would be involved. When I got the bill he charged me over twice the going rate for a contractor - i clearly felt that because he did not provide an estimate, he took advantage of the situation. I wrote to the Better Business Bureau, but they would not help because they completed the work. BEWARE! if you use this contractor make sure everything is in writing and do not assume that you will be fairly billed - because he will inflate the bill to more than double what it should be and the BBB won't help because it is a billing matter... IT is too bad because he just lost my future business because of this incident.

Which he was and is! We hired them to add insulation all around our home, remove old and install new siding, windows, gutters, fascia, doors. Hmmmm....what else can I have these guys do!!! They were great!!! Their team came to our house and were extremely professional and courteous! We added changes (more work) to the scope of work many times and they rolled with it. We did have an issue with the window manufacturer who could not make our front window correctly. JL came out multiple times to address the issue. Even after the manufacturer came out and measured they still did not get it correct! This was the window manufacturer NOT JL. JL stood behind their work and stayed with us until it was all done. JL had the window manufacturer remake the window in a new frame. That worked! If you are looking for a home improvement company filled with honest people , call JL Roofing and Siding! I appreciate Mauricio, Byron and their team so much!! They took a stressful situation and made it easy on me. By the way--their prices were phenomenal! Do yourself a HUGE favor and call JL Roofing and Siding. ABSOLUTELY FIVE STAR COMPANY!!!!!!! PS: JL Roofing and Siding does not do decks. We asked multiple times, but they don't do them. But that's okay! When we need a new roof I know who I am calling!!

Like any renovation project, there were a few setbacks along the way, but the owner worked through everything with me professionally, and we always came to an agreement that felt fair. What really stood out was their patience--I'm super indecisive, but they were understanding throughout and never made me feel rushed or difficult. The work came out great, and I've already made plans to have them back for more projects in the future. Definitely recommended--but as with any contractor, they may have stronger specialties, so just communicate openly about your goals. Overall, a solid team that shows up and gets the job done!

I advise looking elsewhere for a reputable contractor.
