We were initially thinking of re-cementing our driveway and installing pavers in the patio and front walkway and ended up with pavers for the entire job, when thanks to Vinny and his son, Sal we saw that it was within our reach. Vinny impressed us with his expert eye in the layout for our front walkway. These guys did not waste any time. Vinny, Sal and the crew started early every day and worked hard all day. They were exceptionally professional, accommodating and meticulous and went above and beyond. It really shows that they are specialists in their masonry work. It was amazing how quickly they were able to do a thorough job of removal and cleanup of the existing concrete. The pavers were beautifully installed and the pitch was perfect. What a transformation. Excellent work! Our neighbors hired them when they the way they worked and the results produced. We will definitely hire them again. Cannot imagine better. Thank you, Vinnie & Sal! read more

I recommend Vinny and Son Contracting Corp for concrete. I contacted them to clear a violation from the city for broken pavement. Price was good. As soon as we had some warmer days, they came and pulled up the old pavement and poured the new one. The came back some days later and filled the joints. Bada bing, bada boom, it was all done very well, very professionally. And I just had the violation cleared. read more

They removed old driveway, grass and debris. They removed old sidewalk and curb. They built a retaining wall, 2 car driveway,sidewalk,and curb. Professional work. Competitive pricing. Highly recommend this contractor for cement work. Expansion joints, brushed finish, proper drainage pitch, caulking. Good finish work. What else do you want. They faced my wall with stone and installed drainage. Sal is the point man . Good guy very busy. read more

We worked with Sal from Vinny and Son Contracting. Could not be more impressed with the team and Sal. They did a great job on our front yard. They removed bushes/trees, two large stone/brick planters, and then poured concrete for the entire driveway. I would highly recommend them for any stone/brick/concrete job you have. They were extremely professional and completed the job in a timely fashion. You will not be disappointed. read more

Vinny and his son Sal along with their team did an outstanding masterful job redoing our driveway and sidewalk. Anyone who sees our sidewalk can tell that the quality of what they did is beyond par. These guys know what they are doing!! It so happens that most of the houses on our block needing sidewalk improvement were done by them. My family loves coming home these days since the first thing we see is the quality of their work on our sidewalk. We highly recommend them!! You will likely not find anyone better. If you're considering them, ask them for an estimate. They were professional, organized, and very efficient. They know how to work with underground gas lines and they understand the science of concrete and how spacing is needed as the concrete expands. read more

Sal and Vinny quoted us on a new concrete driveway and their company seemed like a good one from the online reviews. They came and poured our concrete on a freezing day this past January, despite me questioning whether this was a good idea (I'd heard that it is not good to pour concrete in the freezing cold). They assured me that this would be fine. A mere 5 months later (June), the concrete is spalling and scaling. Despite them stating that I have a 12 month warranty (on their invoice), and reaching out to them over a dozen times by phone, they have never called me back. Once, a young lady answered, and assured me that Sal would call me within an hour (that was over 5 weeks ago now). Terrible ripoffs, and I've filed a complaint with the better business bureau (they have many other complaints, so beware). Please don't get sucked in by these guys. read more

We couldn't be happier with the work done by Vinny and Sal! Our backyard needed an overhaul, especially with our bamboo issue. They were able to transform our backyard into a huge paver patio with flower bed in a weeks time. They showed up and worked diligently all day long. Sal was able to answer all our questions to concerns we had and was very accommodating to any changes we wanted to make. They do the job right and don't cut corners! Thank you Vinny, Sal and team for your hard work! read more

I had my entire patio renovated, and some sidewalk replaced. Vinny and Son did top notch work from beginning to end. Once they started, they worked quickly and efficiently, and the project was completed in less time than I imagined. They were professional in every aspect of their work, and they left the place clean. I'm happy with the results. read more

I wanted to do pavers in my backyard. Based partially on some reviews here, I called Vinny and Sons. We set up a time and date for an estimate. He did not show. He did not call. He only responded after I emailed him to find out what happened. He did not apologize and only said he didn't want the job. Think about this before using Vinny and Sons. What would he do if you had problems with your work? Would he even show up to start your job? I'll be searching elsewhere. read more

I originally pulled back my review because I was hoping they would do the right thing in the end and close out a job they were paid in full for. I really wanted to believe they would finish their job and we could chalk everything up to a misunderstanding and I would have got over the additional expediting costs. However, they have continued to be unresponsive, rude and unprofessional and we are out of patience and time at this point. We will now have to pay another contractor to finish their job which failed all inspections. Here's a summary of how our experience with this company went: We used Vinny's Contracting from a word of mouth referral of a close family friend. In the beginning everything was timely and they seemed to be very professional. Once paid in full it was a completely different story. Work-timely- NOT DONE according to plans and therefore this resulted in a failed inspection. When we reached out to them, they were unresponsive. When they finally did answer- someone in the background made a comment " you get what you pay for" (mind you we paid in FULL almost 5 grand, they refused to pull DOB permits so we had to pay someone else another 2 grand to do that. so apparently almost 5K plus permits to get a small patch of a Queens driveway and a curb cut gets you something that won't pass inspection with these guys) Professionalism- rude, dishonest, unresponsive, and completely unprofessional. We asked for a copy of the contract/receipt for our files because the original was with our mother in law who passed away unexpectedly during the construction and we do not know where she put it. You would think we asked this company to re carve mount rushmore with the way they responded about giving us a copy of the receipt. It took emails, phone calls and text messages to get this contract. And when we finally do get it, it comes via text message with a nasty note on how we should've kept the original. The kicker is they were dumb enough to put this crap in writing via text message. Via text message they actually wrote they were licensed by the DOB the whole time, they just didn't want to get the permits for us and included an "LOL". This is supposed to be a legit company. When we told them the job failed inspection, and showed them the report, they proceed to put in writing that the plans were wrong- admitting they did not conform to them, and have not answered a message since. It was a pretty simple request- we need the job to conform to the already APPROVED plans or it won't pass inspection- it's been radio silence, so being this is time sensitive we have to hire someone else to fix their job. So in summary, we have had to hire 2 additional people to close out their job. First an expediter, and now a contractor, since they have not answered. We are partly to blame for this because we did not do our due diligence being this company was recommended by a close family friend, who is absolutely shocked at the services we received. We also shouldn't of paid in full until it passed inspection but my husband against our better judgement did because he personally dealt with the guy and believed they were going to the do the right thing. I'm really happy business is so great for them, that they do not need word of mouth business. read more

Vinny & Son Contracting Corp - So called "curb cut" that was supposed to conform to plans. No curb was cut, work failed inspection. Contractor refuses to fix. - General Contractors Near Me - Whitestone, New York

In case you can't make it beyond the first paragraph, let me start by saying that Vinny & Son Contracting Corp has my highest recommendation. We hired them to redo the driveway, demolish our deck, and related concrete work. In short, their work is exceptionally well-crafted, precisely planned and excellently executed. Let me talk about setting some expectations so that you won't be disappointed. This is a small company and there are pros and cons when you are dealing with one. For one, the person picking up the phone may also be busy operating a machinery and may not be available instantly to speak to you. If you are calling them and expect a person every single time, then you are better off with a bigger company with hundreds more workers at your disposal. Vinny & Son is a small company operated by a father and son plus a small crew. The pros are quite obvious; they are committed to performing excellent work. They are committed from start to finish and not jump around to different projects or sites while they are on your case. I can only think one major disadvantage about this place. When the weather is bad, they fall behind schedule. They can not truly commit to a date that's over two weeks out. I am a member of the military and my wife works odd hours. They were able to work independently without my direct supervision. Sal's suggestions added more creative layout to my plan. With Sal's work experience, it is extremely helpful to have suggestions while I am far away from home. His father is an amazing person who built a home in his hometown over 30 years ago in Italy with his crew. They are packed with construction experience! Now let's talk about their work and work ethics. They showed up 0730 every day except for Sundays or rainy days and they end their day around 1700 working nonstop. We decided to do pavers for our driveway and backyard and while we don't understand why it has to cost so much more than just concrete alone, Sal explained to me that pavers will still require a layer of concrete. Thus, you are not going to save or cut down cost by doing pavers. The extra layer of concrete will support all the weight that I need since I tend to work on cars quite often. I am done writing.. Let me try to post some pictures so you can see what they did. read more

I called for an estimate. Instead of coming out to measure and see the site like ALL the other contractors did, they asked me to provide precise measurement myself. Worst part is, they wanted the quotes I got from other vendors. Hey Sal! Don't worry about your competitors, come out, take out the tape measure and give me your best price. If you are confident about your work/price you wouldn't care what competitors do. Don't be shady AND lazy. Win my business not coerce me into contract. No thanks! read more

Vinny & Son Contracting has just completed the renovation of my back yard patio and I am extremely happy with the results! Sal explained step by step the process of the work - from the stairway masonry brick work to choosing the Cambridge pavers. They were professional in every aspect of the project from beginning to clean up and the work on the drainage was expertly done. I can truly recommend them for their quality work and I will definitely hire them again for additional projects for my home! read more

I've used Vinny & Son about ten years ago to perform concrete work on my house and 10 years later, the concrete is still perfect. So we recently called them back to do major work on the house (pavers, new stoops, new concrete work, blue stone steps). I highly recommend them given that Vinny and crew does an excellent job! Vinny is very patient and tries his best to keep the customer happy. Most importantly they pay attention to the details to make sure that everything is leveled and the water flows away from the house. Other contractors may be cheaper, but with Vinny & Son, you are paying for quality. Their objective is to make sure it is done right the first time so you don't call them back again. Given the extent and complexity of their work and the physical labor, the job they recently completed on my house was very good. My only recommendation is that with every service / contractor (regardless of how good they are), you have to keep monitoring them so the job is done to your expectations. With Vinny and Son, I think they can do a better job documenting the invoice upfront so there are no mis-communications, so that would be one recommendation that I would have if you choose to use them. Make sure you get all of the details ironed out before committing (especially on areas that are cosmetic in nature and can be misinterpreted). Besides this feedback, they do excellent work and are very diligent. Sal likes it when you text him to get updates, and he does respond in a timely manner. :) Pros: Excellent Job, Attention to Detail, Does not cut corners, Takes the right approach, fair pricing in comparison to quality of work, Very diligent to make sure jobs are completed in reasonable time-frame Areas of Opportunity: Document the details on the contract in greater extent, so there is no misinterpretation and all details such as payment methods, design, layout, is defined read more

If you are looking for a masonry contractor, look no further! These guys are the absolute BEST! Vinny, his son Sal and their crew work from 7:30 to 5:00, 6 days a week with only a short lunch break. They did a large paving stone job in my yard. I have had many contractors for various projects and have never had any that compare. You don't even need to check on them. They take tremendous pride in their work and are master craftsmen. I would never use anyone else for a masonry project. This company is TOP-NOTCH and they are the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I cannot recommend them more highly. I'd give them 10 STARS if I could! read more

This company is a joke. I called several times for an estimate for a small patch of sidewalk in front of my house. No response back. Finally when i did get someone on the phone, they were rude and nasty. They acted like i was bothering them. I would never use them nor recommend them to anyone. I guess they think from the few good reviews they have here their business is doing well enough to be rude & nasty to potential new customers. If I could give them zero stars i would. read more

Called the main # posted on Yelp. Spoke to a very rude guy. Told him I needed an estimate to redo my driveway, front of the house and back yard, he asked me to text him my address and that he'd send someone to give me an estimate. As soon as we hung up I text him with my address right away, it's been 3 days and I haven't heard anything. It's funny when these contractors are busy they treat the customers like sh*t and act like they don't need them. I honestly think most of these contractors on Yelp ask their friends and family to give them a good review. because they're all pieces of Sh*ts that just wants to rob you for your money. you just have to find the one that's worth dealing with. read more

Thank you Sal and Vinny I had been looking for a cement company and I called at least 5 companies. Some of them came gave the price but did not show up again, some of them did not know what they were talking about. Sal was vey professional and he did not give me any promise that he can't keep. He explained the procedure, he told me when he can start and finish, he got the permit and my sidewalk looks great. It is a bleesing to find a company that does not give you headache when you are busy with your daily life. PS: Their prices are very reasonable for the job delivered. read more

I spent the entire day attempting to have this company remove snow from my driveway and walkway. I recently suffered a serious injury that prevents me from shoveling snow and my wife is 8 months pregnant, so neither of us was able to do it. Every time I called this company on their cell phone number, they told me they would call me right back, I waited two hours, called again, was again told they would call me right back...This went on for the entire day, from 9AM until 5PM. The lack of professionalism and poor customer service was truly astonishing. As a result of my reliance on the empty promises of Vinny and Son, I am now snowed in with no way to get to work tomorrow morning and no way to get to my medical appointment tomorrow afternoon....I am extremely disappointed and would NEVER call them again....UPDATE: The owner (or manager) saw this review and proceeded to send me aggressive texts about how there are tons of other companies out there and I called at the last minute and there were many other customers ahead of me and I had no right to post this online...I explained that the professional thing to do in such a case would have been to tell the customer that you are all booked up and that you can't make it today, not to reassure them that you are calculating a price and will call them RIGHT BACK five times, leaving them waiting for help all day, only to allow 11 hours to go by without picking up the phone even once until you saw a Yelp review. And again, instead of apologizing for this lack of professionalism, this individual proceeded to criticize me further for not choosing another company and for "wasting the time of hard working people." Had he apologized instead, I might have deleted this review out of sympathy, since everyone makes mistakes sometimes. However, the fact that he doubled down on his unprofessional behavior reinforces my sense that this was not a fluke. My advice is to follow this man's wise recommendation and to choose another company with which to do business. read more
