Did you guys know that laying pavers is its own specialty work? Well, I sure didn't. So, by the…read moretime Ahmed came to pay me a visit, I was nearly in tears, after I had not one, but TWO different guys completely muff up the job, leaving me with a total mess of an incomplete project. Totally discouraged, I called NYP and spoke to Fiaz - - what a helpful and pleasant phone manner. He put me at ease right away and within 15 minutes (!), he had Ahmed come over to see how they could help. Ahmed was very kind, breaking the bad news to me gently. Nothing was salvageable and the entire area had to be ripped out and redone properly. I was concerned at that point, having already sunk money into the existing disaster and not knowing I could afford to have them finish the job correctly. But Ahmed's authentic demeanor earned my trust quickly (not an easy task where I'm concerned, mind you) and the very next day, he came to me with an extremely fair quote that was manageable. As a small business owner myself, I have higher standards than most when hiring (and I'm from the school of "the customer is always right"). There are critical components that make for a truly good business, like honesty, dependability, timeliness, communication, and Ahmed nailed every single one. He was clear, thorough, 100% professional and delivered on everything he promised, AND did it within my specified time frame. My project is finally complete and I couldn't be happier. As it turns out, the old saying is true: the third time really is the charm, all thanks to New York Pavers. I can't speak highly enough of them and you should feel 100% confident in hiring them.

New York Pavers did a fantastic job of laying porcelain tile over my old and ugly concrete patio…read moreslab. I'm thrilled with the results! Their very skilled team made my sad old patio look beautiful and stylish. This was a real win- added value to my property. They brought all the supplies to prepare the surface for the new tiles. They cleaned up at the end of each day. Respectful of our property. They arrived on time and finished on time. The supervisors took time to ask me what I wanted and then explained to me exactly what they would need to do to accomplish my goals. The pricing was very fair and the service was amazing. They were very professional, honest and easy to communicate with. I would be very pleased to use their services again on my next project!

One of his employees cemented in our water-meter reader, and we need someone--Ekram, an employee, anyone--to come break it out, or the city is going to fine us. We are reluctant to take a hammer to it ourselves in case we'd damage the beautiful work we paid for. But Ekram will not pick up the phone or respond to emails. Even if he would just write, "I can't do it," then at least we would know, but he just ignores us, and it's been a month with at least four calls and two emails. Maybe he only responds to new jobs that he wants to do.

The roof is fantastic and it drains properly since we paid extra for some tapered insulation, I appreciate Waras showed us the design and was transparent of the cost.... We saw how expensive the material was and the teams charge was fair. I look forward to working with them again on future projects.

Usman and his incredibly capable crew restored and repaired my 6 story townhouse back exterior and…read moremy roof, which are made out of EIFS stucco. We had hired a structural engineer to add flashing to balconies as well as ceiling fans. When he added the fans, he cut into the EIFS and did a very poor job patching the channel he cut to hide the electric. This caused condensation inside the home and required immediate repair. Usman is a class act. He personally showed up to the project himself every single day. He also did certain parts of the project himself or was helping his men in any way he could by doing various tasks. The roof needed a sauna removal, which Usman and his crew did with extreme care, but also left lots of damage to the EIFS stucco. Usman and his team carefully repaired it. Upon repair, he inspected our roof and found many critical issues we were unaware of. It was not done in a "pushy contractor" way, it was done because he knows his business and his products so well, he wanted to figure out why the roof was requiring so much product and because he is INCREDIBLY detail oriented. It was because the EIFS was getting wet due to exposed limestone joints, which over time would have meant we would have to redo the entire EIFS (a very big and expensive job) and he also found an immediate future issue which would have caused a leak. We were able to fix and get ahead of both, while staying on the original timeline. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated Usman and his team's attention to detail from start to finish of the project. Over the past 8 years in my townhouse, I have put a lot of work into it. It is tricky to find a great contractor. One that is not only talented, but also cares about his work AND his workers!!! That is a true sign to me of a wonderful company. He not only ordered lunch for his crew, he ALSO ordered lunch for my housekeeper and myself! I kept calling my husband and telling him how kind Usman was and how thorough. He is EXTREMELY thorough. He is collaborative in the sense that he will listen to the owner (in this case me) and address any and all concerns or questions I had with thoughtfulness and care. We hadn't planned on restoring the front of my building, which is limestone, but I had a quick question about it (NOT part of the scope!) for Usman and after I received the answer, my husband and I decided to get a bid to do preventative work to restore the front using Usman and his team again. I will absolutely continue to be a repeat customer. Owning a building requires contractors and Usman and his team are absolute gems. Clean, courteous, professional, and talented. We have spent hundreds of thousands on "top contractors" and some have been good, some awful, Usman was great. I couldn't recommend Hi Tech Contracting & Restoration more.

The concrete was starting to come off the foundation of my house. I contacted SK Group, Sohail…read morereturned my request promptly (just before Thanksgiving) and scheduled a visit. Initially, I was thinking just a quick patch up job on two walls since there were no water issues, but he suggested that I completely remove the outer stucco and rebuild it with an extra layer, giving me a much more durable solution, and also suggested doing all 3 walls rather than the two. Everything was explained well and he provided a contract with everything written down on paper. As they were working, it became apparent that they would not be able to remove all of the old stucco from parts of one of the walls because it was hard to access some of the foundation because of the ledge of the house, so there is one section which was done differently than the rest of the foundation and doesn't look as finished compared to the rest of the work, which looks fantastic. The project was finished in a timely fashion despite all of the recent rainstorms, communication/updates were excellent throughout the job, and clean up was excellent. Overall, I was satisfied with the quality of the work and would use them again for future projects
