The patio looks like new, the driveway is smooth and clean. They are a pleasure to work with, a nice group of guys. If they couldn't make it to the house that day they would call. I got three quotes for the job, Empire's quote was competitive. I would say that it is clearly important to Dave that the job is done to his high standard. I would highly recommend Empire Paving & Masonry.

Work: Asphalt driveway, Belgium blocks, and circular short wall…read more It was a pleasure to work with Seamus, David and their team. I have a long driveway with a circular on top. As this would be a fairly extensive project, I took 8 different bids and asked many questions about how each would complete the job. I also researched the final 3 to make sure they would do a good job based on their online reviews. At the end, I decided to go with Empire not because they were the cheapest, but because I was convinced that they would do the best job. This is important as I'd like my driveway to last a long time. Empire wasn't able to get started right away because they are booked solid. This is a good sign, but that means you need to plan ahead. Seamus was able to slot me in for a week since I'm considered a small project. Then covid happened... At this point, we all try to be reasonable and I told Seamus to let me know when they would be allowed to work again. Seamus is a good communicator and called the week before they could start. Given that they would be outside and in masks, this is a home improvement project that can still go ahead. Every day, Seamus, David and the team would come to my home at 8am and work till about 5pm. They wore face coverings and maintained social distance when possible. They also picked up each day. They did a great job on everything. It's been a month later and I've walked the driveway several times and still very pleased. I would highly recommend Empire.

In 2016, J&S did a lot of work at the rear of our house in Throgs Neck. Granite terrace,…read morestairway...and stucco. Two years later, the stucco was beginning to de-laminate in three spots. In the spring of 2020, when the stucco was looking really terrible (bubbles, peeling, falling off, etc...see photos for examples), we asked John to come by and take a look. Of the roughly 450 square feet of stucco applied, about half is showing severe bubbling and peeling now. HE TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY. It's water damage...that's not in dispute...but he blamed everything from the siding on the house to the stone terrace...which he installed. Since then, we've had two stucco experts inspect the damage, and they both immediately had the same verdict. The stucco was laid directly over the cinder block, with absolutely no water management / prevention in place. No mesh or styrofoam, no drip line cut into the granite lip above the stucco wall, nothing. Now we face a $4,000 repair job...for work done only FOUR years ago. Needless to say we'll be finding another company to do the work. In his online response, John will likely say that the vinyl siding of the house is causing water problems. So it's important to say here that NONE of the problem areas are anywhere near the siding. We're having water problems because, again, there was NO mesh or styrofoam placed between the cinder block and stucco, and there was no drip line added to the overhead granite lip...which they installed. NO EXCUSES. Avoid these guys, unless you want to pay twice.

Our project includes replacing the current patio with pavers, building a new walkway, replacing two…read morestoops with blue stone and replacing the existing asphalt driveway with a concrete driveway. After getting proposals from 5 contractors, we decided to go with LIMC for the project. Tommy and his son came by twice to ensure the measurements are correct and their proposal is one of the most competitive in terms of pricing. I wanted to have a concrete base for the pavers because my previous patio was set on regular gravel base and had settled unevenly after just two years. The whole project took about two weeks from start to finish. Tommy's crew worked efficiently without cutting any corners. You can definitely tell that they are experienced with concrete and masonry. We decided to go with the Cambridge Toffee Onyx ledgestone pavers with Mocha Border. For the driveway, we went with graphite colored concrete with pavers circle and apron. The result was spectacular. I have gotten so many compliments from neighbors on my driveway. The blue stone stoops were excellent as well. In conclusion, Tommy and his men did a fantastic job with the patio, walkway, stoops and driveway. I highly recommend LIMC.

What we got instead was a facelift on our back-patio built w precision and durable material. Rafael ID'd the sinking stone was asymptomatic of improper leveling causing water to run toward the house and flood my basement. Rafael took time explain what's occurring and proposed a solution which not only fixed the issue but protected our home from further water damage. From there, the project grew seamlessly without any upsale pressure, integrating the leveling and sinking repair into a patio expansion and redesign. Rafael's designer instincts were spot on and didn't break the bank. Rafael was prompt, communicative, and professional throughout the entire project. He stayed stuck to his timeline and delivered results far exceeding -- all at a super reasonable price.

Any issues or concerns we had he would provide a logical reason on why it was done that way or why it's not possible to do something. Would work with them in the future if I needed to but right now we're happy with what we got. Thanks!
