How the numbers are produced

Ratings and review counts on this page come from Google on the date shown. Rating is the live star average, review volume is how many customers have rated the business, and confidence weighs the first by the second. Recency shows how recently reviews have been posted. These figures cannot be bought.

What a general contractor charges for

No prices are published for these firms, so this page quotes no range. A general contractor’s bid reflects the size of the project, the trades involved, permits and design time, and how much structure has to change. Ask for an itemized proposal that separates labor, materials and the contractor’s own fee.

Service areas around Philadelphia

These firms list Philadelphia addresses. Mr. Contractor’s site mentions Bucks County, Nu-View’s replies to reviewers mention the Main Line and South Jersey, PHS General Contractor’s site names suburbs such as Narberth and Lower Merion, and Logan Construction’s site lists South Jersey and the Main Line. Looking for a general contractor near me? Call the number on each card to confirm your address is covered.

Questions to ask a general contractor

  • Who pulls the permits, and what is the plan if the city asks for revisions?
  • Which parts of the job are done by your own crew and which are subcontracted?
  • Is the proposal itemized, and how are change orders priced?
  • Can I speak to a past customer with a house of the same age?
  • What is the warranty, and who do I call if something fails?

Frequently asked questions

Which general contractor here handles structural repairs?

NK Construction and Design’s site lists structural repairs, wall removal and beam installation, foundation wall repairs and sagging floor repair, and one reviewer had star bolts installed to secure a brick wall. A Mr. Contractor reviewer’s family kitchen project took down the entire back wall.

Do these contractors work outside the city of Philadelphia?

Several name areas beyond the city. Mr. Contractor’s site mentions Bucks County, PHS General Contractor’s site lists Narberth, Lower Merion and Abington Township, and Logan Construction’s site lists Ardmore, Conshohocken, Glenside and South Jersey. Nu-View’s replies mention the Main Line and South Jersey.

Who deals with permits on a Philadelphia project?

Reviewers give two examples. A Nu-View Construction home addition reviewer said the only delays came from city permits and revisions, and a deck reviewer said the builder offered to attend township meetings to help get a permit approved. Ask any contractor who handles permits before you sign.

Which firm is best suited to exterior concrete, windows and roof patching?

Logan Construction’s site lists concrete, masonry and doors and windows, and its reviewers describe concrete replacement, window replacement with brickwork repair, and fascia, gutter and roof patching. Mr. Contractor’s site also lists concrete, roofs and windows, with a larger review base.

Final word on choosing

Mr. Contractor is the safe default on review volume for a project that touches several trades, NK Construction and Design suits structural work, and Logan Construction suits exterior and masonry jobs. Whoever you pick, ask who pulls permits and get the proposal itemized.
