In 2016, J&S did a lot of work at the rear of our house in Throgs Neck. Granite terrace,…read morestairway...and stucco. Two years later, the stucco was beginning to de-laminate in three spots. In the spring of 2020, when the stucco was looking really terrible (bubbles, peeling, falling off, etc...see photos for examples), we asked John to come by and take a look. Of the roughly 450 square feet of stucco applied, about half is showing severe bubbling and peeling now. HE TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY. It's water damage...that's not in dispute...but he blamed everything from the siding on the house to the stone terrace...which he installed. Since then, we've had two stucco experts inspect the damage, and they both immediately had the same verdict. The stucco was laid directly over the cinder block, with absolutely no water management / prevention in place. No mesh or styrofoam, no drip line cut into the granite lip above the stucco wall, nothing. Now we face a $4,000 repair job...for work done only FOUR years ago. Needless to say we'll be finding another company to do the work. In his online response, John will likely say that the vinyl siding of the house is causing water problems. So it's important to say here that NONE of the problem areas are anywhere near the siding. We're having water problems because, again, there was NO mesh or styrofoam placed between the cinder block and stucco, and there was no drip line added to the overhead granite lip...which they installed. NO EXCUSES. Avoid these guys, unless you want to pay twice.

The team that showed up was courteous and professional, they informed us when the work was going to be noisy and made sure we knew about everything -- they also got the materials lifted up rather early and did it from some machine so we didn't have to deal with materials through the house! The roof is fantastic and it drains properly since we paid extra for some tapered insulation, I appreciate Waras showed us the design and was transparent of the cost.... We saw how expensive the material was and the teams charge was fair. I look forward to working with them again on future projects.

I appreciate the honesty and transparency so I prefer to work with him since he's also communicative. I would suggest giving them a chance and getting an estimate from them!

Usman and his incredibly capable crew restored and repaired my 6 story townhouse back exterior and…read moremy roof, which are made out of EIFS stucco. We had hired a structural engineer to add flashing to balconies as well as ceiling fans. When he added the fans, he cut into the EIFS and did a very poor job patching the channel he cut to hide the electric. This caused condensation inside the home and required immediate repair. Usman is a class act. He personally showed up to the project himself every single day. He also did certain parts of the project himself or was helping his men in any way he could by doing various tasks. The roof needed a sauna removal, which Usman and his crew did with extreme care, but also left lots of damage to the EIFS stucco. Usman and his team carefully repaired it. Upon repair, he inspected our roof and found many critical issues we were unaware of. It was not done in a "pushy contractor" way, it was done because he knows his business and his products so well, he wanted to figure out why the roof was requiring so much product and because he is INCREDIBLY detail oriented. It was because the EIFS was getting wet due to exposed limestone joints, which over time would have meant we would have to redo the entire EIFS (a very big and expensive job) and he also found an immediate future issue which would have caused a leak. We were able to fix and get ahead of both, while staying on the original timeline. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated Usman and his team's attention to detail from start to finish of the project. Over the past 8 years in my townhouse, I have put a lot of work into it. It is tricky to find a great contractor. One that is not only talented, but also cares about his work AND his workers!!! That is a true sign to me of a wonderful company. He not only ordered lunch for his crew, he ALSO ordered lunch for my housekeeper and myself! I kept calling my husband and telling him how kind Usman was and how thorough. He is EXTREMELY thorough. He is collaborative in the sense that he will listen to the owner (in this case me) and address any and all concerns or questions I had with thoughtfulness and care. We hadn't planned on restoring the front of my building, which is limestone, but I had a quick question about it (NOT part of the scope!) for Usman and after I received the answer, my husband and I decided to get a bid to do preventative work to restore the front using Usman and his team again. I will absolutely continue to be a repeat customer. Owning a building requires contractors and Usman and his team are absolute gems. Clean, courteous, professional, and talented. We have spent hundreds of thousands on "top contractors" and some have been good, some awful, Usman was great. I couldn't recommend Hi Tech Contracting & Restoration more.
