  3. This is Nick Kontzamanis. It’s been a month since I have viewed the “category” part of the forum.

    I just want to thank “breukelynmac” for the kind words, a few posts back. That was most gracious of you.

    I espesially loved the part about “the one hour lecture”

    And the “not a full-time roofer” was a real nice finishing touch.

    I gladly give all the time needed and wanted to everyone during my roofing inspections.Some inspections are quicker than others. That totally depends on the amount of questions that the home owners ask.

    BTW I am and have been a FULL-TIME Roofer since June of 1973.

    I am also a NYC licensed roofer and have been since November of 1977.

    “breukelynmac” I did the very best that I could to assist you with your roofing needs at the time. And as always I offered my experience and my advise to you in the future even if you decided on hiring another contractor.

    Good Luck,

  4. NICK, IF YOU WANT TO ADVERTISE, PAY BROWNSTONER AND ADVERTISE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, YOU CHEAPO!

    My humble opinion, and I’ve met Nick too, is that he likes the fast and easy jobs — avoids tear offs like the plague!

    I firmly believe in the saying “If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all,” but Nick’s shameless self-promotion on this site is sickening.

  6. I had a new roof put on our brownstone this spring…we got estimates from several contractors, including Nick K (mentioned above) and MetroWaterproofing, Big Apple, Greene and one other of which I can’t remember the name.

    We went with Metro. It was not the best price, but he (Hassan) had several recommendations from people in the Park Slope nabe that we knew. We had a new roof put on (not fired on, which is illegal, but glued on with this space-age Firestone roofing material.) We also had cornice work done that involved carpentry, and a new drain-pipe, new skylight, and new vent for top floor bathroom.

    They did a great job, and one day, after a crazy rainstorm, Hassan stopped by, rang our bell, to make sure all was well, which it was, and has been since the spring.

    I did like meeting Nick K, and I can attest that he does indeed care greatly about roofing, based on the 1 hour roofing 101 lecture he gave, and his pricing was the best. However, he was not able to do anything but the roofing job itsself…anything else, e.g. cornice work, he wasn’t able to do…it’s not his gig….so it wasn’t the best solution. At least when we met with him, he was not a full-time roofer.

    You’ll see the Metro sign littered all throughout the PS neighborhood…they’ve done a ton of work in the area.

    Based on my experience with other renovations thus far, Metro was by far the most positive contracting experience I’ve had. It was expensive, and they couldn’t start right away, but when they did, they did a great job and were very professional.

    If you have any questions you can email me at breukelyn@mac.com

  9. We used Kramer roofing, and were very happy with him. He’s probably not the cheapest but has always been very good with follow up.
