Hello all, I’ve had so many “not so great” vendor experiences lately that I wanted to recommend a good contractor. I had to have some stoop repair done to the inside\/underside of my brownstone steps. The cement was cracking\/crumbling under the stairs. Once the old cement was removed we realized that most of the mortar between the bricks was turning to sand and many of the bricks had softened nearly to the point of crumbling.
\n3 Brothers construction removed those bricks, put new ones in, put new mortar between the bricks that were salvageable (sp?), did the scratch coat of cement and then the final color coat of cement. They even added a new door to the “shed” underneath my steps and fixed the hinges on my front door w\/o being asked to do so.
\nThey were always on time (and always called if they thought they would be late). They even placed my mail inside of the home since they were working in the doorway when it was delivered every day.
\nOwner is Mostafa 917.337.5523<\/p>\n
On a sidenote, they also painted the front of my brownstone home in 2001 (before I was the property owner). Since this was so long ago I can’t vouch for how well they’d do this type of job now but I will say that the paint job is still holding up very well in comparison to some of my neighbors who have had their homes repainted more recently.
\nMostafa also mentioned that he has a working relationship w\/Landmarks if that matters to anyone.<\/p>\n
