Can anyone give me contact info for:
Pinnacle or Adama?

Or recommend a construction team to point up basement walls, dig out floor and concrete it, and replace extension on back of brownstone.

  1. Z. Abedin is perhaps the best mason I have worked with. Great price, ON time (which is a big deal for me, and overall professional. He’s done brownstone refacing and patio work for me and a neighbor. He takes the time to explain the job to the customers which I like. Nothing worse than convenient “scope creeping” from contractors. You can reach him at 917-903-0196. Tell him Chris Montgomery from Decatur Street referred you.

  2. Thanks for reccs, question about Jim, will he just do masonry or general contracting as well? Will also need studs and sheet rock put up in basement, and ceiling repair – going for our c of o.

    In fact, here is the full list of what we need done, thanks for looking:

    Frontyard:
    * Replace frontyard sidewalk, front patio, enlarge garden
    * Remove extension from front of house (where security gated door is)
    * Fix under front stoop: bricks bulging

    Basement:
    * Install basement floor in cellar (dig 8 in deep and replace with 4″ of concrete)
    * Point up basement walls, paint with drylock/Thoroseal
    * Enclose boiler room, 5/8ths sheetrock on both sides, 3.5” metal studs
    * Vent boiler room to outdoors, through upstairs, under right kitchen window
    * Replace cellar stairs with metal steps, install hand rails
    * Enclose stairs, 5/8ths sheetrock on both sides, 3.5” metal studs
    * Patch, repair ceiling as necessary – joints must be taped and compounded, patch around vent from boiler to chimney.

    Backyard:
    * Fix leak under right kitchen window that leaks into basement, (same spot where we’ll be putting boiler room vent)
    * Replace 2 kitchen windows
    * Replace backyard patio, with bluestone
    * Demolish and rebuild rear extension off kitchen, flashing and waterproof bottom of rear extension, weatherize floor of back extension (install thick layers of foam under concrete. in case we want to finish the space in the future)
    *work with plumber? To fix the drain OR pitch the patio slightly so water runs off into back yard use pavers instead of concrete

  3. someday I’ll either remember my pw or change it so I can log in. I’ve had good experiences with Transcend masonary, they advertise on the forum. They did an extension, pointing, cement and basement work for me.

    You can email me for specifics if that would be helpful
