RJB Renovation or Blushi Construction?

Hi everyone. We’re starting on some interior renovations on a single family building we bought in Park Slope. We’ve gotten bids from RJB Renovation and Blushi Construction. RJB’s price is a little higher but they seem to get great comments from brownstoner folks. I haven’t been able to find any sort of feedback from Blushi. Has anyone had experience with Blushi and RJB? I’d appreciate any positive and not so positive stories. Thanks so much!

The names don’t seem familiar on this blog.  I would make sure you speak to references (at least 3) and do a on-site visit of a current and in-progress job.  Also make sure the estimate is itemized. Good Luck, Allan S.
