Description of Work: Water proofing the brick by spraying LastiSeal™ Brick & Masonry Sealer twice on the entire building, 3 sides. Also cleaning a little efflorescence from the weeping holes. They had to spray the entie brick twice as per the manufacture's instructions. They were very accommodating to come only when it did not rain and the wind was low.

Description of Work: Took out a "monster" of a second floor front balcony with the promise and contract of building a new brick front with two new windows in it's place--done! The brick and materials used mostly matched the existing front house wall...the 2 masons RS hired knew what they were doing! They also built up the interior of that same area with cinderblock, insulation, drywall, plastering and repaired the ceiling. In the same room removed old in the wall AC and checked and repaired the water damaged areas with new bricking, pointing and soon placed in a new AC provided. They made a nice frame around the in the wall AC and made beautiful wooden window sills to my specifications. Noted: they used PINE instead of oak. Pine is softer and more prone to dings which happened almost immediately and they had to take time out to repair! They also found baseboards and ceiling trim that were as close as they could match to the existing ones in that room. I gave them paint of my choice to match the rest of the room, but only wished they had painted the rest of the ceiling and not only the part where the ceiling and wall were rebuilt. I also wished RS could have ordered the premium windows three weeks ahead of time instead of waiting to the last minute--so, we got stuck with cheap windows that probably will have to be replaced in five years--(American Craftsman,too, could have made better windows!) The 2 man crew of masons also worked on rebuilding the inside frame of the decorative overhang which in itself was 14 feet long and they did it on some of the hottest days on record! They also fixed the cornice beneath it keeping in mind that I wanted to maintain it's original architecture--BRAVO! They also brick sealed the entire front wall and pointed exterior areas of my brick stoop and brick fence. They built up a very nice area of sidewalk, too, for a very reasonable price of $1200. Neighbors, however, were concerned, about the mess from the construction falling onto their properties. RS Construction should have thought it out more with extra long drop cloths straddling the property borders. It delayed their work considerably when neighbors came to them with their concerns and demanded immediate clean-ups! Now on to the back of the property! They did a great job of repairing the heavily water damaged back wall. RS Construction's 2 masons KNOW THEIR STUFF! They chiseled out crumbling bricks from the chimney and back wall areas, replacing them with new bricks and mortar of sand and cement. Then after drying they weatherproofed the entire chimney and back wall with Thoro Coat white stucco type paint-2 coats! Beneath the back deck they also worked on the bottom wall with the same material. Towards the end they also broke up the concrete under the deck and used that material to create a new cement flooring. Looks good and the price was right, too! A new drainage area was created too, at the bottom of the back steps leading to the basement. Using PVC piping cut lengthwise so that it could reach the inside basement drain without damaging too much basement flooring, the head of the company himself and an apprentice created a fully functioning drain that has so far worked through 2 downpours! The company boss and his brother also framed and rebuilt the cement doorstop to the specifications of keeping floods out. Well done! All in all, happy with most of their work except for the mess and for the lack of more skilled labor workers. The job could have been finished within the time frame of the contract. The roof was also thoroughly repaired with flashing cement and then silver paint coated for it's reflective properties against the sun. The top part of the chimney was also silver paint coated. There was some shingling done on the decorative overhang, too!

Description of Work: I am on the board of directors for fairly new building here in North Park Slope. I used Angie's List to help find recommended tradesmen. I also used them for some personal jobs. 1) Masonry: Filling a large exterior gap from our ground floor to the fifth floor of our building. He was timely and dealt with obtaining building permits as well as dealing with Park Slopes Preservation Agency. Their estimate was $4100. They did the job in one day. Raez was easy to work with and they did a good job with the scaffolding as well. 2) Sheetrock demo and rebuild of some of our buildings basement storage units. We had storage units damaged by basement leaks. They worked with our foundation leak experts nicely to demo and rebuild around their work. They painted the sheetrock and stuck to the schedule nicely. We paid $2400 for approximately eight, 8'X8' walls. Everything was time sensitive as we had to have 7 owners remove all their belongings from the storage units as the leak experts and RS Construction did their work. 3) Roof Leak Diagnosis, Repair: They completed a water test and found the cause of a leak in my apartment. They had to cut my ceiling sheetrock to be sure of the cause. They were knowledgeable, responsive and very helpful. $1400 4) Reframing/insetting my sliding glass doors in my living room and building sheet rock for a large painting in my living room. $1800. They did a good job, was on-time. I wish they were cleaner. But the job was a messy one.

Description of Work: We have a 4 story brick building built in the early 1900's. An adjacent building was demolished leaving our brick wall exposed with deteriorating mortar and open to the elements. RS Construction re-pointed the required areas, applied some wire-mesh in some areas and then applied stucco cement to the entire wall. After the stucco they applied Thorocoat weather sealant by 3M.

Description of Work: I received an estimate from R.S. Construction Company for masonry work during summer time.
