Hi, I received a…read moreviolation for my sidewalk. I hired Shaan and his team to do the work and they did amazing job. From pulling the permit to closing the permits he took care of everything. Thanks guys.

It was nice and easy to work with NY City Restoration team from the beginning. Based on scope of…read morework and photos I shared, they immediately provided the flat rate cost to do the job (for other contenders I was in chat with it took at least day and multiple calls to receive it!). After agreement to do the work, they were flexible with the schedule and provided several options with dates, including Saturday. On the job everything was done as expected (check the photos I am attaching), instructed me about what to do/not to do next few days and left the job site nice and clean. I can totally recommend this team for your masonry/concrete and other outside work - they are great, accommodating and reasonably priced.

In life, our father always sought to provide for us and take care of everything. Before he passed…read moreaway, he even made preparations with the church, the funeral home, and the cemetery. Now it was up to us to take on the responsibility of making arrangements for his headstone. Clayton's Funeral Home recommended Stone Unlimited, and we are so glad they did. Stone Unlimited is located near the cemetery, so one day while visiting the grave-site we popped in to ask some questions. We weren't sure what we needed to do or what to expect. We met Marcy, who was wonderful and sat with us even without an appointment to walk us through everything. We had a lot of anxiety from the realization that we now had to figure out how we could ever create something that properly memorialized the patriarch of our family. She knew it was an emotional time for us and was very patient, explaining how the process worked, what the cemetery rules were for headstones, and the cemetery's design approval process. She took her time and explained all of our options without overwhelming us. Over the next hour and a half we talked about things like color, etchings, images, and the ways in which each of those choices could affect the chances of our design being approved. Over the following weeks we bombarded her with questions and revisions, both in person and over the phone, and she never made us feel like we were bothering or inconveniencing her. She was fantastic and was able to create a design that incorporates all of the things that were important to our father: his faith, his Irish heritage, and his career in the NYPD. A design that his wife of 56 years and his 6 very opinionated kids could all agree was beautiful. Marcy estimated it would take about 12 to 16 weeks for design to be approved and the stone created and put in place. Even with an early rejection from the cemetery and some redesign sessions prior to resubmitting, they still were able to set the stone in place just 12 weeks after our original conversation. The care and attention to every detail from Stone Unlimited during this difficult time was amazing. When the completed stone brought tears to our eyes, we knew that we had put our faith in the right people. We cannot recommend them enough.

BEWARE OF THIS CONTRACTOR!!! DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! I made the mistake and hired Empire…read moreWaterproofing and Masonry to repair a water leak in my basement wall. Work was started in late October 2022 and lasted until late November 2022. As per the contract signed, the work was guaranteed for 20 years. Five days after the work was completed (and payment was made), the basement wall still leaked. In December, the company was contacted and the owner, Michael Cash arrived to inspect the reoccurring leak. It was agreed upon that if he finished his current job, he would return by late December or the beginning of January to address the problem. It has been two months and he has still not come back. I have received only one call back from Michael with the vague promise that he would be back on January 9. Numerous calls were made and emails sent to Empire Waterproofing & Masonry. Emails go unanswered and when you call or text them, you either get a message that the phone number is not accepting calls and texts or you can leave a voice mail that goes unanswered. Besides poor customer service, Empire Waterproofing & Masonry did not apply for work permits and left an unsafe job site with no barricade around 12-foot-deep trench. The work the company did was sloppy and unprofessional. Pavers in an adjacent area were stained with a waterproof coating they used. The finished surface of the concrete driveway replaced is not uniform and does not drain properly.

I was pretty much in shock when I contacted First Avenue Funeral Service in October from another…read morestate to make arrangements for a funeral. From the start they were compassionate, gentle and kind. There was no attempt made to upsell their services. They quickly took possession of my brother before I arrived in New York and it was a comfort to my family that he was no longer in the city morgue while I flew out to NY. They made the entire process of his wake and cremation as simple and gentle as possible. Mr. Lee was the one who prepared my brother for viewing. Mr. Lee is an artistic genius, due to throat cancer my brother did not look as he once did but Mr. Lee worked a miracle and despite the circumstances of his death my brother looked as if he had just settled down for a nap on my sofa. I half expected his ankles to be crossed as was his habit in life. While searching for a funeral home I found out that the one my family traditionally used was having legal issues over quality and was forced to look elsewhere to arrange funeral services. I'd contacted several funeral homes before deciding to go with FAS due to their location and was surprised to find that they were the least expensive out of all the funeral homes I'd contacted. They were budget friendly without being skimpy. Located in an area with several funeral homes, they are small, not so flashy and easily overlooked but they provide wonderful service and are kind and compassionate. I highly recommend them and will use them again should the need arise.

Then in 2019 when my uncle passed we went back thinking we'd get the same quality service we received before, boy was I wrong. The moment we walked in we were met by pure ratchetness. Dudes that looked like they belong elsewhere eating wings and a so called funeral director (not the same one I dealt with in 2013) just as ghetto. No tact no empathy. I requested a change of casket since the one my cousin chose wasn't up to par and I was told it couldn't be done bc allegedly the body was already in the casket which I suspect wasn't true. Finally the morning of the burial they were over an hour late to pick him up and go to the cemetery. No reason given just kept telling us they were on the way. Unless this place has changed management and staff in the last 7yrs I would not use this place. I'd rate them no stars but that's not possible.
