I made a great choice with hiring Anthony to repair the brick on my townhouse after replacing two windows and moving a door on our back extension. He was responsive and easy to schedule with. Took ownership of the job and helped solve a roof leak that my roofer wasn’t exactly on top of. He made a recommendation for capping the cornice and he was able to add this to the project easily and at a fair price. Anthony takes a lot of pride in his work and he did a lot of it himself instead of just dropping off a crew at multiple job sites. He asked me questions on how I wanted things done and was very generous with his knowledge and experience. He was very respectful and never talked down or “mainsplained”. He addressed one small issue that came up with my neighbor. I will definitely be hiring him again as my house needs exterior work.

Anthony is an artist with a specific touch for working with stone or any type of masonry material. He shows up on time. Works a full day and wont leave until you are satisfied. I have contracted him for over a dozen jobs over the course of 15yr time period and they are all standing today. You will not find a better value or longer lasting stone project then what he can provide. I will attach some pics of the latest work he did for me which in pretty much sums up his high level of craftmanship.

Anthony had great vision but I should have known better when he said he'd never done it before. He built the porch and it was beautiful but it rotted within a few years. He had used wood that wasn't right for the job and there was a lot of eye rolling when I talked to other contractors about his work. Additionally, he was very unprofessional and during the build, he lost his temper and yelled at me several times. Maybe he's better with masonry but be careful.

The Contractor was very professional and he gave me a very detail contract. Due to his busy work schedule, he was unable to perform my work scheduled for October. I had to drop the project by November 2nd. I will try another company the coming year . Thank you Angie for your help.

A back water valve was installed in my basement. A & A Innovative was hired to install valve cover, fill in the opening with gravel and concrete, cover the hole with concrete and level off with floor. The procedure was explained in professional and layman's terms, I was able to take photos as the work proceeded, the worker was on time. Area left clean. The price was very reasonable.

If I could give A&A a higher rating than an “A”, I would. Anthony is a very gifted mason, and his prices are extremely reasonable. He’s done all sorts of different mason work at my house, and everything done has looked great and withstood both time and the weather. Very highly recommended.

He has an intuitive eye for space and materials and his suggestions all worked really well. What we have is so much nicer than what we had before and very reasonable. The work was done quickly, carefully, and neatly. Started and ended right on time. We had to wait a bit to get him because he was booked. It was totally worth it. He (and his assistant) are friendly, pleasant to work with, extremely hard-working, and attentive to costs. We've worked with a lot of contractors and he's one of the best we've worked with in NY and other cities.
Description of Work: We asked Anthony Bauer to replace an ugly, rotting wood deck with a stone patio, to repair stucco on our historic building and to cap some rotting window frames. He came highly recommended and we weren't disappointed.

We are unbelievably grateful to have found Anthony (through a recommendation on Brownstoner). When we called him, we were at our wit's end because our house leaked a ton of water during certain rainstorms where the wind blew from the northeast. We had a parade of general contractors and roofers come through, none of whom offered a concrete solution. Most of them just suggested that we put on a new roof, but no one knew whether the leak was coming from the brick wall, the window, the door, the roof, or where the roof met the wall. No one would promise to stop the leak. Anthony guaranteed that he would stop the leak and, to the end, ran a number of water tests with a hose while he was on the job to make sure he found and fixed all of the leaks. (We had another contractor try to charge us $1000 JUST for the water test itself). He is truly a great find—a contractor who knows his business and really takes the time to make sure the job is done right and done well. We really appreciated this, particularly since we found a lot of contractors just wanted to finish the job and get on to the next one. And we found his prices to be reasonable. Sorry for the long and rambling review, but we were just so pleased. We are new homeowners and have had a lot of problems since moving in 6 months ago. We've had about a dozen contractors in our home, and we can say without a doubt that Anthony is the only one we've trusted 100%.
Description of Work: Repair and stop a skylight leak and two exterior masonry wall leaks. He also did a ton of repointing, sealing of coping stones, flashing, covered our parapet walls in Thorocoat, and capped our coping stones in metal.

Anthony gave us a prompt estimate, answered all my phone calls and questions immediately, arrived on time and did a beautiful job. In fact, the railing looks so good that I wish it was in another part of the building other than the basement so people could see it. He also called me after the job was completed to make sure I was satisfied which I thought was extremely professional (and a rare quality seen these days!). I would highly recommend his work.

For the first project in December 2014, Anthony came in and did an intensive survey of the backyard for a patio paver project. His evaluation was way more than just a cursory glance that the other bidders did. He responded to my bid with excellent ideas on how to make the best use of the space and design, and the price was very competitive. We ultimately went with using paving stones for the patio and field stones along the retaining wall. There were many intricate cuts and Anthony proved to be a true artist and master of his craft. In February 2016, I had a few interior items to complete. Throughout every step Anthony clearly communicated what his understanding of the scope of work was and what his plan to complete the work was. Perhaps what I appreciated the most is Anthony's patience and willingness to troubleshoot items as they come up, and answer my questions (no matter how detailed they might be) This open and honest communication is hard to find in a contractor and has led me to trust and appreciate Anthony and his work. I will continue to look to Anthony as my "go to" for other projects as they come up and highly recommend him to anyone that needs a trustworthy mason and carpenter for any type of project.

We have a brownstone that was built in 1910 that had cracksin the masonry around the windows. The problem was discovered last year when Anthony repaired a major problem of water leaking into my basement---something two other contractors couldn’t address. In addition to sealing the cracks around all my windows that were causing damage to the masonry, he sculptured a decorative pendant mask on the faand ccedil;ade that has stopped everyone passing the house, and painted the entire faand ccedil;ade. Anthony and Avalon are nothing short of excellent. They are punctual, respectful of our property and our neighbors’ property, very professional, very efficient, take pride in their work, and always go above and beyond. Nothing has ever gone wrong. Price is very reasonable. We are extremely happy with their work and would definitely hire them again when we need work on our brownstone.
Description of Work: Sculptured a pendant mask in cement on the facade of my brownstone, sealed cracks around windows to prevent further water damage and pained the entire facade.

Meticulously removed existing paint from steps, resurfaced, and repainted them. Existing columns were detailed for a sharper appearance within original design. Iron work restoration consisted of re-securing rails as needed to the stoop structure. The iron work was completed with two coats of enamel gloss paint. The front gate and garden steps and rails were also repaired. Mortar sculpting and detail
