Nicotra Construction was able to get to our job about 10 days after the initial request. Everything was completed in one day and they also added on a quick side job for us. The only thing I didn't particularly like was that they added a design with the block, which I thought was a little weird for a sidewalk. It doesn't really matter that much, just thought I'd mention being specific about your blocks if you don't want extra pizazz. read more

Nicotra Construction - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

I wanted to like Nick and his work. But after 3 weeks of him finishing a job for me, he left all the leftover concrete and stone in the street, in front of my house. After multiple texts and a lot of 'I'll get it tomorrow' I have given up. If you're reading this, look elsewhere and save yourself some hassle. It's a shame, such a simple thing. Lesson learned, never pay until the job is 100% Complete. Debris included. read more

I really wanted to leave a nice review for Nick Bc he was doing so well in the beginning but this just became more of a headache. I hired him for two jobs. First one to fix my front yard concrete, which was fantastic work, and one on replacing our backyard concrete and adding a fence which was good but he messed up pretty bad in many ways. He promised it would be a week to two weeks max to get it done but it ended up taking about 6 weeks to complete. Forget about getting a hold of him and expecting him to call you back to tell you when he would be showing up Bc 9 out of 10 calls he will not pick up or respond back in a timely manner. Like I said, he was doing good in the beginning but as time went on he took on more jobs with other people that we were basically forgotten. He would tell us he would be coming and we would waste our time waiting for him but he never showed. When he did show up it didn't seem like his mind was 100% there and of the 6 weeks he took to replace my backyard concrete, 3-4 of those weeks my backyard was exposed, no fence or concrete just dirt and rubble. So for a while we felt pretty vulnerable with our yard exposed (we are two women) We are pretty patient people but he lacks consideration when it comes to updating people on what's going on and it seems to us that he had an excuse for every time he never showed up, picked up/respond back our calls or finish what he was supposed to do. This job actually was finished the end of September and we have been waiting for him to come back to pick up the rest of the big chunks of concrete that he left us and left on our neighbors (on both sides) alley with but never cared to come back to remove!!! So now we have to deal with our neighbors yelling at us to get those large pieces of heavy concrete off their property. The fence which was the only good thing that was done right was installed by his brother Anthony, who did an amazing job and we found is more reliable than Nick. Nick promised a lot of stuff to us and in the end failed to deliver. When he re-cemented the yard the rain water was supposed to flow out toward the alley but instead it flows towards our property and drain which we did not want. And the other part of the concrete was supposed to direct rain water away from the stairs leading to the basement but instead it flows directly into the stairs so now that part of the house is flooded when it rains Bc there is no drain on the bottom of the stairs. Yay. we told him that his work was not what he promised and he was going to "come back and check" but he doesn't think he messed up plus he already got his money so I don't expect him to come back to correct anything or take the trash he was supposed to take. I really wanted to recommend him but I don't feel that he earned it. There were a lot of people on our block that wanted to hire him (and we also had more jobs for him!) but we told them the horror stories and it would be better to find someone else more reliable. So just take caution if you plan to hire him. Make sure he finishes his job before you give your final payment of your hard earned money. read more

I hired Nick to do some work back in May 2019; he only did part of the work I paid him to complete. I have been chasing him down to get my money back and have not heard anything! I recently saw that he is out in the city doing jobs but has yet to finish my job or refund me my money. I want to leave a good review because Nick was great initially, and the work he partially did at my neighbor's house was great. But, he is has become a thorn in my side to the point I have to file against him. read more

Used Nick for two projects. The first project was smaller and went fine. The second project was patio concrete replacement. The work quality was very poor. Nick said he would come and fix it as he agreed he needed to fix it. After 2 weeks of giving me the daily run around, I gave up and finished the project myself. Find another contractor if you can. read more

Nick started out very good, but 3/4 of the way through the project he disappeared and I couldn't get hom to finish. Do NOT give hom a deposit in advance until he is on site to do the work. His work is sloppy. He left a mess for others to clean up. read more

Very quick to respond and stop by to give a quote. Nick and the team finished our stairs and front small patio in about a day and a half and it looks amazing! read more

See all

I recently had some projects around the house that needed to be done by a professional. I am thankful I found Nick! He was very friendly and did an excellent job. He answered all of my questions from start to finish and followed up with me after the work was completed to make sure I was happy. I have a few more projects I want done and I will definitely be relying on Nick to do the work. read more

Nick is a con man and a thief. I hired him to do simple brick work. He made a total mess of it and should be embarrassed of his work. He did a shitty job doing the absolute bare minimum he could do. he's also sneaky and just doesn't do things he initially says he will do. when I pointed out things that were done incorrectly he said "well I did it, didn't I?" Sure did and it looks absolutely terrible. I honestly could have done a better job myself. When you hire someone you think they will do, and have the ability to do what they say they can. This guy doesn't or just doesn't care. He's got every response and excuse in the world and you can tell this is just the way he's used to doing work. he may give you a cheap price but beware that you're going to have to hire someone else to finish and fix what he started. read the reviews here. dont hire this guy. if I could give him less than 1 star I would. If you do hire him make sure you have a detailed contract (not the 1 sentence contract he will send you because 1 sentence of work will be all you will get despite anything you verbally agreed to). and certainly don't pay him a single dime until he's completely finished the work and it's finished the way it should be. But really...just don't hire him to begin with. He's a waste of your time and money. read more

Initially, the gentleman I worked had decent communication. Quick quote, fair price, fair turnaround time. Upon "completion" to do the job (rebuild a cinder block wall between me and my neighbors driveway), the contractor left several materials behind and when it was discovered that there were holes in the top of the structure (not noticeable from ground level. Discovered weeks later when peering down from roof), I was promised several times over a 4 month period that he would return to fill them in. Since, he has stopped answering my text messages. Appears to be a 20 minute job to repair but contact has ended read more

Nicotra came to out house after having a plumbing issues where repairs leant part of our driveway being broken up. Nicotra provided an estimate for the concrete work and was on time with both the estimate and work completion. read more

reasonable prices, great work, fast and on time. these guys were great! i would recommend them to anybody.

Nick did a great job replacing our sidewalk. He came out to give us an estimate the day after I called him and then completed the job two days later. He was honest with everything and I am very happy with the results. read more

Nick and his team put up a wall with dual pocket doors to create a nursery. Professional, easy to communicate with, and good prices. When completing the job - made sure the work site was spotless. Look forward to hiring him again for our next project. read more

Nicholas and his team installed new floor/door thresholds and subfloor in my condo. They also painted baseboards and closet doors. And they repaired a door that had come off the track. He was great with flooring and a variety of handyman work--will fix things to your satisfaction. He works fast and is easier to schedule you in a timely manner (as opposed to Home Depot who didn't have availability for months). read more
