I never got to use them.
Description of Work: I tried getting an estimate twice from them by email for some concrete work to be done to my sidewalk to correct a violation by the City. They never got back to me. I feel they are not responsible. Maybe they did me a favor by not responding. You should throw them out of Angies's List head first.

They gave me a price and were very good at responding to me, but I was just too busy to have them do the work. They were professional, answered my emails, and called me when they were late. I am going to use them when the weather gets better.
Description of Work: They gave me an estimate to replace a front walk and a front stoop.

It all went very smooth, they came early every morning and finished by 4PM. Very courtious and kept the mess to a minimum. At the end of the day they would clean up everything. It was a h*** of a lot of work and it took over three weeks to complete. I took a lot of pictures and when I look at them I realiz what a fatastic job they did. My wife is very happy with there work and we want to hire them again.
Description of Work: They tore off the surface of the stoop, under the stoop and the stairs going down into the lower level. Rebuild and resurfaced the brownstone type front stoop, under the stoop and the stairs going down under the stoop into the basement and the sidewalk from the front of the house fence to the house

Yes, she is right and we do apologize for that. We lost her contact number, so that we couldn't make any contact with her, but we were waiting for her call to give her some information. Actually, an approved drawing and work permit were needed for making the access for handicapped person in her building. But we are sorry that we couldn't gave this information due to not having her contact number. By the by, we didn't gave her any estimate or any work was not done over there. Thanks and Regards.

Had leaking in a number of condo units from roof leak and one from leak by window. All were when there was heavy rain and wind. Prior attempts to fix roof leak didn't do the trick. Amin fixed this for the condo a number of months ago and we've had no recurrence of the problems. We're very happy with his work and would highly recommend him to others. He was a pleasure to deal with.
Description of Work: Repaired roof leak, painted metal roof outlets, and did re-pointing on building facade.

We did not know that facade leaked when we bought this house in October 2009. We realized it during a heavy rain in January that brought water through the facade around windows in the bottom and parlor floors. We quickly found out that no decent contractor will do masonry work in the winter. By spring we'd got many estimates but did not feel comfortable with any -- some wanted to rip off the entire front of the house, some would work in winter, some were clearly scammers offering ridiculously low prices and too-quick turnarounds. Finally we found 2 contractors through the BB Bureau who we felt better about. We were ready to go with one of them when an acquaintance recommended Amin. They were a third more expensive than the contractor we almost went with but they offered a better guarantee -- 10 years -- and they have a reputation in the neighborhood that they are very keen to uphold. Further, Amin really looked at our house when he came to estimate, pointing things out to me instead of me having to point things out to him. His workers were courteous, neat and punctual and the job was done on time and to an unbelievably high standard. Our 80 year-old house looks like new and stands up to the heaviest rains. You can't put a price on the peace of mind we now have -- all due to Amin. I give them the highest recommendation.
Description of Work: Repair of stucco facade of small two-family row house; repair of stoop; new front court. Repair of the facade included power washing, chipping out and recementing major cracks, recreating sash under main window, cleaning and waterproofing lintels, application of two coats of Thorolastic waterproofing paint. Repair of stoop included removal of old cement from and recementing of stairs, platform, and entryway under platform as well as painting all with 2 coats of Thorolastic. New court work included demolition and removal of old court cement and pouring of new cement. Railings on stoop and railings on stairs to underneath stoop painted at no charge. All debris removed and site left in pristine condition.

I guess having an A grade on Angie's get's interpreted by some contractors as 'let me charge more-'cause I'm in demand'. Well this guy shows up, nice courteous type of guy. So... I show him my backyard and what needs to get done. Which is: install pavers, which are currently sitting in the yard already, then pour cement around the stones and fill in the rest of the yard (approx. 20' x 25') with cement. Framing and slight leveling of yard would be required. He does not give me an estimate or even a 'ball-park' figure, instead he requests that I give him a fax number or an email. Well, I got my email two days and one phone call later with an estimate that was nearly DOUBLE of the other two bids I had gotten. All of them were providing the same level of work. The funny thing is during our exchange I explained to the guy that I had several neighbors that all needed some type of work, and if everything worked out with my job I would introduce him to my neighbors. Personal intro? Come on it doesn't get any better than that! So, he says to me 'I will give you a special price, less than the others because I need advertising'... Jeez, after this kind of estimate I'm afraid to find out what my un-special price would have been.

My respected customer is right in his issues. If you see in New York, same bottle of water in Brooklyn is $0.75 or $1.00 and in Manhattan it is $1.50 or some places $2.00 or more. If my job price is higher than others, then it is because of my business maintaining cost (labor, material, time, insurance and others) is high, I always assure my customers 100% satisfaction with best quality job. People who knows me, my job quality and my honesty, they do hire me again and again; and because of that they gave me grade A in their reports. I always believe on quality which costs more, though I will lose my jobs. By the by, I just gave him the free estimate, but no job was done over there. Thanks and Regards.

Everything went perfectly from start to finish. Mr. Amin and his son arrived at our house punctually and negotiated a fair price for the job only an hour after we called them. When we had questions and wanted to change the project, they again responded quickly and professionally. Workers arrived at the same time each morning. They were professional, courteous, and extremely hard working. I have no complaints whatsoever and the steps are gorgeous. We will definitely be calling on Amin Home Repair again!
Description of Work: Our concrete outside front steps had been crumbling and chipping for years. Amin Home Improvements demolished them and then rebuilt and painted beautiful limestone and brick steps.

Amin did an amazing job. He matched the bricks perfectly to a 1925 house (he had to go to 3 places to find the right brick.) He arrived early. Got the job done quickly. It was beautiful. And they didn't leave a mess. I would definitely use his services again.

We had some minor communication difficulties (due, mostly, to limited English and bad cellphone connections), but they tried very hard to overcome those and they did a great job on the work itself. They were fast, neat, and made sure we were ok with how it looked as they went along. I also trusted them since, unlike other masonry companies, they insisted on waiting until the weather was right (several months) in order to do the best job possible, instead of just trying to get our money sooner!

Although I don't wish to post the price at this time I can say that it was reasonable and well worth the master craftsmanship of this contractor. He was able to do the job really well and cleaned up just as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services and will be using him again this fall for another job.
Description of Work: We have one hundred year brownstone houses in the area where I live and we own one of them. Amin and his crew recently came out and helped us patch up and re-brick areas of the foundation where there have been cracking due to age. They were with us about 2 weeks or so and when they finished they cleaned up and discarded all the refuse.
