Hey bembleman, I used him recently for a some stucco/thorocoat work and painting a fire escape, and he/his guys were great.

I do not think this is too good to be true. It represents the reality of today's market - places that are not on prime blocks and that need lots of work will rot on the market unless priced aggressively, in this case just under that magic 1 million number. This broker will be rewarded with a quick sale, no doubt.

I had a moldy smell as well until recently. Turns out water/moisture was getting trapped in the walls from small cracks in the exterior. We redid the facade of the house which solved the smell problem.

I used Jabus out of red hook (aka james buscarello i think) to rip up/replace my buckled sidewalk so parks dept could cut a tree root. They were good, got the job done quickly. Then some little bastard named "joe" wrote his name in the new sidewalk with a stick...

Hi Brooklynite, I used Chris Henry for an alt 1 (duplexed garden to basement), ARA job (new boiler), and to change our C of O (to include a parking spot.) Very reliable and responsive - chris@greenlightexpediting.com.

I used Impact Remodeling to add a convenience stair (spiral) from the garden to basement, and to finish the basement. Great quality and a really good/trustworthy guy...i'd go leave them to go to work and not worry about them stealing things/burning house down. My contact was Kevin - 914.588.1806...good luck.

Peter Miale at iron gate properties was showing this in 2005. He'd be able to provide some insight if you're serious.

Is there drainage in and around the entryway under the stoop? If that space is chronically moist, every time you open that door, you re-humidify the garden level. Also, check the mortar or cement lining walls and ceiling of the space under the stairs in the stoop. It should be dry. A small fix here may make a big difference. You have my sympathies!

One of my neighbors had her sidewalk and entryways repaired recently and the company did a great job. My husband and I asked about the company for future reference:

Hope you don't schedule them the same time as us. :)

J and L Landscaping.

They are on Caton Avenue and you can google the phone number.

They did my stoop and his sidewalk.

Fast, and professional.

Tell your contractor you absolutely need it in a month and hold them to it when they go over. If you tell them two you'll be living in a construction site for a few weeks, in my experience.

I would highly recommend Alberto Chica - 646.472.4842. He came highly recommended to me and I have nothing but high praise for him. He is good, hard working, neat, and a really nice man.
