The owner and Lead painter, Dave, was absolutely phenomenal. I recently bought my home and…read moreimmediately wanted the entire house painted prior to moving in. I had a friend that utilized his services and was extremely satisfied with his work. I was lucky enough to be bale to see his work and I knew instantly that I would be hiring him. Needless to say, I made a great decision. Dave was accommodating, professional, punctual, and most importantly AFFORDABLE! Dave gave me an estimate and even went the extra mile of going to the paint store and helping me pick out the best paints for the job. Dave arrived on time and ready to go! Given that he was painting the entire home, he was extremely clean and meticulous in his efforts. You can tell he cares about his work! The finished product changed the look of the home and made it look brand new and our own! I could not ask for more and he will certainly be my "go to" guy for any future paint jobs at my home.

After living with a recurring winter leak in our bathroom for five years (and learning it had been…read morehappening for years before we bought the place), we finally decided to bring in Dr. Leaks -- and I only wish we had done it sooner. Every winter the leak would return. We assumed it was a building issue, but the building manager would send contractors who focused on quick fixes within their own specialty (we saw plenty of masons doing lots of caulking). Nothing ever truly solved the problem. At the recommendation of a friend, we hired Dr. Leaks to get to the root cause. From the first call, their communication was excellent. Greg clearly explained the diagnostic process and what to expect, and we were scheduled about three weeks out. The investigation itself was incredibly thorough. The team accessed units above us, took detailed measurements and photographs, and ultimately opened our drywall ceiling. They discovered a three-inch cast iron pipe that had separated from its coupling -- the real source of the leak. While they couldn't determine exactly where the pipe terminated, they provided a detailed, professional report clearly documenting the issue and confirming it was not our responsibility. We brought the report to our building association, and they arranged for the repair by another contractor and covered the full cost -- including the investigation. What stood out most was the professionalism and respect. Greg was always available to hop on a call and walk me through questions or concerns. The investigators were smart, thorough, and respectful. As someone who understands building systems, I deeply appreciated that they treated me as a knowledgeable partner in the process -- unlike many contractors we'd dealt with previously. In a matter of weeks, Dr. Leaks accomplished what nearly a decade of piecemeal efforts had failed to resolve. Yes, this type of investigation is an investment -- but it was absolutely worth it to have someone truly listen, do the real diagnostic work, and finally bring the issue to resolution. Highly recommend.

**2nd and FINAL update (Jan 2025): We received a full refund check from Dr. Leaks on January 20,…read more2026. I've added one star to reflect that the company ultimately took responsibility and resolved the issue. That said, it required a significant amount of effort and persistence to reach this outcome. **UPDATE to Hanlon's comment below (Sept 2025): Hanlon's comment is completely inaccurate. Dr. Leaks did not provide "multiple leak detection visits at no cost." I have invoices that clearly prove otherwise. The only complimentary service was the initial 2-hour visit, which I already mentioned in my original review. No true repairs have been completed--the leak has persisted since April, and we are still waiting on a report. Despite multiple follow-ups on our part, Dr. Leaks continues to repeat the same excuse: that our issue is "complex" due to the green roof and that they are "still working" on the report from the June 17th visit. At this stage, their repeated delays and lack of resolution are unacceptable. Dr. Leaks should reimburse us for the costs incurred and allow us to move forward with a qualified professional who can actually resolve the leak. ____________________________________________________________ Original review below: We've had a long and incredibly frustrating experience with Dr. Leaks. Our first interaction with them was back in September 2023 when they repaired a leak in our bedroom ceiling. Unfortunately, by April 2025, the same area began leaking again. We contacted them, and to their credit, they offered 2 hours of free leak detection and determined the source was not related to the original repair. However, after two leak detections and $3,237 spent, we are still without a report from the second visit (which took place on June 17th) and no clear solution to the ongoing leak. Even more concerning, we discovered upon returning from vacation that the leak was still active--despite them claiming to have completed a second repair. Thankfully, we haven't begun the cosmetic ceiling repair yet, but the fact that there has been a gaping hole in our son's bedroom ceiling for months, with no resolution and no urgency from the company, is unacceptable. We've repeatedly followed up via email (specifically to Hanlon and Josh), asking for a basic update or an estimated timeline, but all we've been told is to wait for a report and response from the owner, Mr. Alex Keating. To date, we've received no ETA, no report, and no reassurance. This has put us in a horrible position--waiting indefinitely with a still-leaking ceiling and the growing risk of mold, which is especially troubling in a child's bedroom. And yet we're made to feel like we're stuck: switching to another vendor means starting from scratch, but staying with Dr. Leaks means being left in limbo with poor communication. We truly hope to be able to update this review if things are ever resolved. But right now, others should be aware of the lack of accountability, the poor communication, and the stress this company has caused our family.

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.
