After checking with several companies and receiving bids, I went with Sclafmore's offer because of their consistent quality, fit and finish and ability to come up with solid design solutions on the fly. I've hired Sclafmore on several projects around my home since 2011. And while I've used other contractors, Sclafmore always gets my big projects because I know they can handle the logistics, deadlines and design without the headaches. Give them a call. You won't be disappointed by the finish.

In addition, hose is connected to boiler and contaminated radiator water was used to mix cement. Multiple calls were made and he finally showed up to see the mess, laughed at me and left me in basement and never came back. Given my health situation and the fact that I live alone, it would have been a kind gesture for them to rectify this.

We hired Nazim and his crew to repave the front garden walkway of our Brooklyn townhouse with…read morebluestone paving. They were on time, professional, and respectful of the property. The work they did was exemplary. We really appreciated how well the process was managed from start to finish; from the timely quotes and lines of communication, to the masterful execution and attention to detail of the job itself. The price was fair which we also appreciated. As a former construction project manager, I have a unique perspective on knowing what it takes to get a job done properly. Nazim and his crew did not disappoint. We expect to hire them again for some repointing work in the near future. If you're on the fence, look no further. They are deserving of our highest recommendation.

After living in our apartment without any issues for years, the brick wall in our bedroom suddenly…read morestarted to let in a strange smell through the many cracks and tiny holes. The brick wall is directly against the wall of a neighboring high-rise building, so we did not have a lot of flexibility as to what we were allowed to do. We could not re-point the entire wall, so Ahmed selectively scraped around all of the holes and refilled them with new mortar. Another challenge was that we had no idea what the brick wall had originally been sealed with over twenty years ago. So Ahmed tested a couple of nontoxic sealers on the wall to see what would work. Then he sealed the wall with two thick coats, letting the first coat dry for over 24 hours before putting on the second coat. There were a lot of challenges with this project and Ahmed listened to our concerns and provided us with solutions for our particular situation. He was kind, calm, polite, and communicative, always texting to confirm appointments and letting us know when he was en route. He worked quickly and diligently and was a stickler for quality and precision. It was a pleasure working with him. We will not hesitate to hire Ahmed again in the future, and I would highly recommend him to everyone!

We went from having the worst yard on the block to having the best, all within one week! We anticipated the usual headaches and problems that often go along with construction jobs, but with Lapietra Contracting, there were none. I love my new yard and I can't thank them enough for all the hard work they did to make it that way! Best of all, what we were quoted was what we paid, no hidden fees tacked on. If you have a job that you want done right, call Patsy at Lapietra Contracting, I promise you, you won't be disappointed!

Our building has one of those classic NYC flat roofs where every contractor over the years seemed…read moreto add another patch rather than solve the actual problem. We started getting leaks near the bulkhead and decided it was time to have somebody take a serious look at the roof. That's where Ben and Bushwick Roofing come in. The inspection ended up being much more thorough than I expected. They photographed the entire roof, walked me through areas where seams were failing, and showed how water was traveling across the surface during storms. There were several low spots that had been holding water for years and the membrane itself was clearly reaching the end of its useful life. The replacement process took several days. During the tear-off they discovered some damaged decking near the bulkhead and around a plumbing penetration that couldn't be seen during the original inspection. Everything was replaced before the new roofing system went down. The new roof drains significantly better than the old one ever did. Even after heavy rain, water clears quickly instead of sitting there for days. The difference is obvious just from looking at it.

DO NOT USE! I paid a lot of money for landscaping that still looks poorly done. The tree layout is…read moreuneven, one was completely forgotten and later planted by hand, and now it's visibly misaligned. The spacing makes the entire front yard look unfinished and thrown together. I was told the boxwoods would fill in within a year; it's been two years and they've barely grown. That was either completely unrealistic or just flat-out misleading. The edging and flower bed work is sloppy and uneven. There's no attention to detail, and it shows. Communication was just as bad. Calls were ignored, and when he did respond, it was with "what do you want to talk about?" -- which is not how you speak to a paying customer. At one point, it honestly felt like his own worker knew more than he did and was trying to guide him, but he didn't listen. This wasn't a one-time mistake, it's a pattern of poor workmanship, lack of knowledge, and unprofessional behavior. Save your money and hire someone who actually knows what they're doing.

I can't say enough about the excellent work done by Cosmo Landscaping. Unsurprisingly, the owner of…read morethe company is a guy called Cosmo, and working with him was a real treat not only because he has such a delightful name, but because the work he does at the price point he offers is unparalleled. Communication, affordability, flexibility, efficiency, assiduity - that's the package you get with Cosmo Landscaping. But what you really need to know is I moved into a new house with a disaster of a backyard - it was full of random old bricks, tiny pebbles, and the corpses of about ten -thousand lantern flies. Those little pebbles I mentioned - man - they were everywhere - and were sort of cheap stone you might expect to find at the bottom of a fish thank rather than sprinkled about your yard like a badly decorated cake manufactured by a kindergartner with free reign of the confectionery cupboard. Alas - such was my yard. And I wanted it fixed - bad. I brought in all kinds of troops. Old friends with big debts to pay who I hoped might do me a favor, family with construction business experience, and even a half dozen landscapers and contractors who all promised the world tied up in a pretty pink bow that would fit right in my backyard. But I didn't trust a single one, until Cosmo showed up. The first thing you gotta know is that I'm not easy customer to please. I can do a good bit of construction myself, and like I say, have the soldiers to rely on should I need a hand. But the thing I don't have is time, and so I hate hiring a guy to do a job that I could have done myself (with a little help from my friends) only to find out the job was done half-assedly and worse than I would have done myself. Cosmo came to give me an estimate in the middle of a horrifying blizzard and stood outside with me for ages thinking through exactly how the project should look. I had half a dozen cockamamie ideas that he talked me out of - thank YHWH - and he even used a bunch of old garbage leftover from the previous owners to demonstrate and help me visualize the ideas he had and to talk me out of my own disastrous line of thinking. Well, long story short, we had a lot of back and forth about the price, the objective, how it would look, the features, and he was good enough to trust that I could handle a good portion of the preparatory labor - so he worked with me on that and we got the job rolling and over a period of time we transformed my yard from no-mans-land to a wee urban oasis. The proof is in the pudding, as they say (see photos below).
