They followed our kinda-persnickety patio design to the inch, laying 2'x2' pavers down in precise rows, separated by cement-supported bands of artificial turf - at an exact 1.5" pitch so that rainfall is carried away from the house. The surface is flat as a lake and looks fantastic. The Dawn crew moved tons of dirt from the old built-in planters and the grading process out and 90-pound pavers and hundreds of pounds of sand and cement in THROUGH our 2nd-floor apartment without any damage or major disruption to our daily routine. They cleaned up nightly like clockwork and were fully done in just 5 days. Zeeshan and his crew were unfailingly professional and responsive - and all just super-nice guys. We would be happy to work with them again, and we recommend them to anyone who needs work done. We LOVE what they did with our place.

I paid approximately $40,000 for what was supposed to be a straightforward renovation removing one wall and shelving, painting, relocating doors, and building closets. The job was not finished. They walked off site without completing the agreed scope and did not return any portion of the money. The workmanship was careless throughout. They painted over unsanded plaster and visible spackle. Newly installed doors were misaligned. Paint was splattered across finished wood floors. Kitchen cabinets were painted without finishing the interiors. Floors were left completely unprotected during the remainder of construction, resulting in additional damage. My building's hallways were marked and damaged during debris removal because nothing was properly protected. The site itself was chaotic and filthy. Construction dust covered everything. Food waste was left behind. Subcontractors used my guest bathroom like a public rest stop, pouring paint and debris down the sink. It looked less like a professional job site and more like a war zone. Despite a firm move-in deadline, most days there were only two workers present. Jacky openly told me he pays subcontractors $270 per day. Based on the crew size and duration I observed relative to the $40,000 paid, the gross margin on this project was approximately 70 percent! The output did not remotely justify that level of markup. When it became clear they would not meet the deadline, the response was not accountability. It was aggressive yelling. I was shouted at, at close range, in front of other people, and blamed for their delays. Every time I calmly pointed out documented deficiencies, I was talked over, interrupted, and dismissed. I was told, "You don't understand construction," in a condescending tone. The volume, posture, and proximity were intimidating. It was not a normal disagreement. It was sustained, aggressive yelling directed at a woman who was simply asking why the work was incomplete and substandard. I have never been spoken to that way by anyone I was paying, and certainly never in my own home. Instead of correcting mistakes, they deflected and escalated. Instead of addressing documented issues, they attacked the client. An architect reviewed the work daily and issued written correction lists. The deficiencies were objective and documented. They were not properly addressed. They are polished during the sales process. Once paid, the standards collapse. The negative reviews I saw afterward are accurate. I would not hire them again under any circumstances.

And while I've used other contractors, Sclafmore always gets my big projects because I know they can handle the logistics, deadlines and design without the headaches. Give them a call.

Recently I received a summons from the city because apparently my sidewalk was considered a "trip…read morehazard danger" and I was informed that I needed to replace my entire front sidewalk. I was given approximately a month or so to hire a licensed contractor to get the new paved sidewalk done. If I did not hire someone the city would have hired someone for me and who knows how much I would have been charged. Unfortunately it looks like I was not the only one to receive a summons, my next door neighbor received one as well. FORTUNATELY however I did my due diligence and decided to hire Fame Contracting for me and my neighbors entire sidewalk. I spoke to a man named Keron and from the first time I spoke to him till the last time he was genuinely a respectful professional. We went over step by step of how everything will be done. Since I'm somewhat paranoid when it comes to hiring someone for work on my property. He made multiple trips to my location to discuss how this can get done. I was confident that after talking numbers and getting informed that this was the licensed contracting company I would hire. When it was the day for the job he was early (which is a good thing) you never want to show up for an appointment late especially if its business related. The workers knew what they were doing and were surprisingly moderately fast but more importantly efficient. After everything was done the final product was very nice. The next morning he came back to check up on the sidewalk that was just done. In conclusion I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fame Contracting. Keron was a pleasure to do business with and I could see hiring him for home improvements in the future. If you do not believe me just call and ask for him.

A year ago, I watched Carlos' NYC General Pro Roofing roofing team worked on a roofing project of a…read moreresidential home near my mother-In-law home in Brooklyn. I immediately noticed that each of his 12-14 men team was very organized and well coordinated in performing their tasks. We had previously used other roofing contractors to repair my residential homes but Carlos' team really gave me a unique and great impression on how his team go about doing a caring and a professional roofing project. With the recent winter storms and high wind and heavy rain in early spring, my wife and I decided to look for a roofing contractor to evaluate the condition of our roof. We contacted several contractors including Carlos to give us an evaluation and their opinions on the roof condition. One contractor did not show up on the scheduled appointment and did not even returned our call. Others were only want to do repairs or partial replacement of the shingles. After the inspection of our roof, Carlos recommended to us that the best solution is the complete replacement of our roof since a portion of our roof is a flat roof and the remaining multi level sections are covered with shingles. He patiently answered our questions and concerns and explained to us the various roofing materials to be used and the detailed steps for each type of materials that are to be installed on the roof. On the scheduled started date of our project, he and his 14 men team arrived on time at 8:30 am and completed the total replacement of our roof in one day around 7:30 pm. During the project, Carlos provided my wife and I with updates on the progress. Even though I kind of afraid of height, he helped and invited me up on the roof and educated me ( i. e., a bird's eyes view of ") how the project come to fruition. My wife and I are truly appreciative of Carlos' honesty, trustworthiness and professionalism in the entire project from our initial meeting with him to the completion. We highly recommend Carlos and his team on any roofing project that you need help with.

I wanted to be sure we had the right team and we spoke to many of the contractors here and got a few quotes. We spoke to a lot of good folks but there was something about Mike and Angel when they came to look at the space. My wife is a great cook and had some practical kitchen wishes and I wanted a pocket door, so the powder room door would no longer swing into the dining room. Sounds simple but I heard a lot of reasons why not. Really? Not Mike; easy, he said. And it was, or at least it seemed so. And not only did they do what we wanted, they did what we needed and did not know. Like hiding heating pipes we had lived with for years. The workmanship and clean finish they brought to the simplest things; even two weeks after completion we continue find neat little touches to please and amaze us. In the end the job came out better then we could have ever imagined. My wife had to go back and update her dreams to catch up with the new reality. As if that wasn't enough, these are some of the nicest guys you will ever meet and frankly we missed them after they were done.
