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.

If you value your home, do not hire Roy and Jacky…read more (Brick for Brick also goes by Brother K Construction same team.) I paid approximately $40,000 for what was supposed to be a straightforward renovation removing one wall and shelving, painting, relocating doors, and building closets. The job was not finished. They walked off site without completing the agreed scope and did not return any portion of the money. The workmanship was careless throughout. They painted over unsanded plaster and visible spackle. Newly installed doors were misaligned. Paint was splattered across finished wood floors. Kitchen cabinets were painted without finishing the interiors. Floors were left completely unprotected during the remainder of construction, resulting in additional damage. My building's hallways were marked and damaged during debris removal because nothing was properly protected. The site itself was chaotic and filthy. Construction dust covered everything. Food waste was left behind. Subcontractors used my guest bathroom like a public rest stop, pouring paint and debris down the sink. It looked less like a professional job site and more like a war zone. Despite a firm move-in deadline, most days there were only two workers present. Jacky openly told me he pays subcontractors $270 per day. Based on the crew size and duration I observed relative to the $40,000 paid, the gross margin on this project was approximately 70 percent! The output did not remotely justify that level of markup. When it became clear they would not meet the deadline, the response was not accountability. It was aggressive yelling. I was shouted at, at close range, in front of other people, and blamed for their delays. Every time I calmly pointed out documented deficiencies, I was talked over, interrupted, and dismissed. I was told, "You don't understand construction," in a condescending tone. The volume, posture, and proximity were intimidating. It was not a normal disagreement. It was sustained, aggressive yelling directed at a woman who was simply asking why the work was incomplete and substandard. I have never been spoken to that way by anyone I was paying, and certainly never in my own home. Instead of correcting mistakes, they deflected and escalated. Instead of addressing documented issues, they attacked the client. An architect reviewed the work daily and issued written correction lists. The deficiencies were objective and documented. They were not properly addressed. They are polished during the sales process. Once paid, the standards collapse. The negative reviews I saw afterward are accurate. I would not hire them again under any circumstances.

cry-baby and dishonest concrete contractor! got a high quote…read more$2300 from asad to replace two flags (squares) of a sidewalk in rockaway beach; insurance company requested the repair so just wanted to get it done asap. asad showed up a couple hours later than promised with his brand new red truck and 2 "assistants" from the home depot parking lot. using a little hand grinder (4") to cut the squares was the first hint that this job was not going to be done professionally! (i hired bricktech because a couple of weeks previously they had done a clean, quality job for my neighbor.) i asked asad to please use a larger grinder to properly cut the slab. i return from getting a coffee and asad's 2 "assistants" are packing the broken concrete of the original 5" slab into the flags that are about to be hand mixed and poured; i tell asad that the new slab he is installing can not be 2" thick and he should replace the original 5" slab with a 5" slab especially since it is a corner with a bus stop. asad suddenly says he can't do the job if i am not happy! i had zelled him $1150 (%50) as he started the job; as per our agreement. i ask asad why he is doing such a crappy, dishonest job for me when he recently did a nice job, up the block, for my neighbor. asad starts to cry and tells his 2 "assistants" to stop work and get back into the fancy new truck. wow! wow! i never met a cry-baby concrete contractor!! asad obviously embarrassed to tell his dad about his unprofessionalism has not reimbursed any part of the money. i really think asad is a spoiled child who just wants to drive an expensive new red truck but he does not know how to do his job. he is unprofessional and incompetent; i recommend working exclusively with his father or any other contractor. asad left me with a large 2 flag hole to fill at 3pm! luckily i was able to get a yard of premix delivered (whithin 1hr) and knew two guys who could help otherwise it would have been stressful! reimburse me what you owe. asad you are a dishonest person who needs to grow up!

This here is a review for Jon and the Big Apple Renovators' crew for their roof replacement job…read more(June 2022). What started out as a minor roof repair for a water leak developed into one of my better home investment decisions. As a first-time homebuyer experiencing an ongoing leak, I weighed my options for a roof repair with several roofing contractors. What stood out about Jon and his team was their positive reviews and responsiveness. An estimator came to my home in less than 12 hours for a free quote and more importantly, provided insight to where the water was coming from and options to remedy the problem. Based on my conversations I decided to go with a small, repair job. When the roofers began their work, the situation evolved into something more serious. Inside I feared this all along: that a repair would only delay the water from eventually coming back into the house. And that's when I talked it over in person with Jon. He sparked my inner financier and advised that a complete roof replacement would be a long-term investment for the home and the work would be covered for 50 years under the GAF warranty. I agreed. Unbelievably, his crew of 10 guys showed up the next morning, and like a well-oiled machine, completed the job that same day. Jon and his crew were a pleasure to deal with and I appreciate them fitting me into their schedule on such short notice. I put utmost value in customer service and Jon exceeded them completely. Only time will tell how the roof holds up, but I'm confident if there's any issues, he'll be the first to know and respond. Peace of mind goes a long way, thanks Jon and B.A.R.!
