--- title: "One Stop Home Repair" description: "One Stop Home Repair is an Orono repair and renovation company, and a Reddit commenter recommended it, saying it is in Orono but serves the greater Penobsc" doc_version: "2026-10-29" last_updated: "2026-10-29" --- # One Stop Home Repair **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 90 Stillwater Ave, Orono, ME 04473 · **Phone:** (207) 866-5690 · **Website:** https://onestophomerepair.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.6/5** (high confidence) — from 117 reviews across 7 sources. 72% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 20 reviews, 3 negative. ## The honest read One Stop Home Repair is an Orono repair and renovation company, and a Reddit commenter recommended it, saying it is in Orono but serves the greater Penobscot County "and a little beyond." The company says it has been in business 46 years and lists a service area that includes Bangor, Brewer, Bucksport, Ellsworth and Belfast. Its BBB page shows an A+. The recent jobs cover a lot of ground. A recent customer said Morris and his apprentice, Patrick, troubleshot the house and updated the panel. A recent customer said Howie swapped out a French door with a slider. A recent customer described a summer of repairs and renovations with Jacob Roy as project manager: a stove backsplash, a sagging front porch jacked up and structurally reinforced, a new window install and a drywall patch. A recent customer said Carlos and Erling repaired water damage on the exterior of a log home, which involved replacing logs, and moved furniture out of the way and back. A recent customer said a tech did all he could to flush out old oil and pull a vacuum after a factory flare on a mini split blew. A 2024 customer said the company replaced an elderly mother's roof in one day, prepping the porch and yard for debris. A 2024 customer said the company came the next day to size a tenant's replacement heat pump, and a crew installed it in one day a week later. Money and estimates are where things go wrong. A recent customer said they paid 6,000.00 for a well pump repair and pipe extension, that Howard used equipment they had rented, and that no one mentioned the well needed chlorinating afterward. A recent customer objected to an $89 charge for an electrician's work estimate. A recent customer said that after a technician did boiler and furnace maintenance for their grandmother, the hot water stopped working, and he then said a new boiler and furnace were needed. A 2025 customer said they were charged $340 in travel time from Orono to the Ellsworth area on a $778 job with no pre-written estimate. A 2025 customer said they paid a $49 estimate charge for porch, drywall and heat pump work and had heard nothing ten days later. **Strengths:** - A panel update — a recent customer said Morris and Patrick troubleshot the house - Log home repair — a recent customer said logs were replaced after water damage - A French door swap — a recent customer said Howie replaced it with a slider - One-day roof replacement — a 2024 customer said the roof was done in a day **Concerns:** - An $89 estimate fee — a recent customer objected to paying for an electrician estimate - Travel-time charge — a 2025 customer was billed $340 travel on a $778 job - Well chlorination unmentioned — a recent customer said no one raised it after the job ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Says it has been in business 46 years and serves towns including Bangor, Brewer, Bucksport, Ellsworth and Belfast _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://onestophomerepair.com) — “Self-reported 46 years in business” - [Official Website](https://onestophomerepair.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Bangor, Belfast, Bradley, Brewer, Bucksport, Ellsworth, Frankfort, Greenbush, Hampden, Hermon, Holden, …” - A Reddit commenter recommended the company, saying it serves the greater Penobscot County _(confidence: medium)_ - [reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Maine/comments/1ubtlpw/home_renovationremodeling_in_bangor_area/otr2fow/) — “r/maine — I personally recommend One Stop Home Repair.
