Riverview General Contractors

This review is shamefully overdue!! My daughter wanted to sell her house and, as she was already overwhelmed with work, asked me to come to her rescue in finding a contractor and helping with the arrangements. Humberto came to our rescue after I had worked my way through a list of 7 other possible contractors who (supposedly) were licensed to do work in Yonkers. In the case of those contractors, most of them weren’t actually licensed in Yonkers, but it didn’t matter because after I had walked them through the house and project, and gotten assurances from them that they were interested in the work and would get back to me with a bid, I either never heard from them again (despite reminder emails) or received repeated assurances the a bid would be forthcoming next week, then next week, and then in one more week, etc. Fortunately, I discovered Humberto (AKA Riverview Contractors) and all of the wonderful reviews about his work on this and other sites. I’m so relieved that I did. He came out, was straight-forward, provided me with a bid within about a week (and let me know approximately how long it would take him to do so), and quoted me a price that I couldn’t refuse. The work that I needed consisted of many “fixes” and improvements on a large house (~4000 sq ft) that was to go on the market. These ranged from replacing windowpanes and broken pulleys on old, wood-framed windows to re-doing cement steps, installing new bannisters, supporting a sagging porch, modernizing a bathroom (including redoing some plumbing, installing ceiling vents, new flooring, new vanity, etc.), and walling off attic space including installing a drop-down ladder access. These were just a few of the modifications that Humberto and his crew made, and despite working on other jobs at the same time, he always fit this work in. He was also an excellent communicator and very generous with help as well. To cite a specific, concrete example: As part of the “refurbishing”, we ordered a new, stainless steel, refrigerator (French doors, bottom freezer) which was to be delivered late one afternoon. Naturally, I looked at the measurements and measured the doors before ordering. Unfortunately, I measured the width of the door frame, forgetting to include the additional width of the door stop. When the delivery men tried to move the refrigerator into the kitchen, it wouldn’t fit through the door (even after removing the door and hinges). These workers weren’t interested in engaging in carpentry and gave me a choice: either accept the refrigerator where it stood or they would return it. In a panic, I phoned Humberto, who I knew was working late, 7 days per week, on a big project, and asked for advice. Humberto answered and said to have them leave the refrigerator where it was and that he would get it into place. Naturally, I assumed that he would come the next day or over the weekend to size up the situation. In fact, he showed up at 8:00 pm that evening, with two of his workers, and they proceeded to carefully remove the door stops on either side of the frame (without splintering either of them!), wrangled the refrigerator through the door and into place, and then reassembled the door frame and door. Not only did they come after a long day of work, but they refused to accept any compensation for the work. If you want to engage a hard-working, creative, exceedingly honest, accomplished, and economical contractor, I encourage you to have Humberto out to assess your project.

Workers showed up on time and were professional. They climbed up ladder to the roof of the house, checked the roof, and inspected the gutters. Gutters were sealed and re-attached in a few places. I was told the roof is in good shape. The visit took about 30 minutes.

I purchased the 149.00 roof tune up. Humberto did everything the roof tune included plus gave me an estimate regarding the life of my roof. Because I was so pleased I had him replace a bathroom window that was smaller than the one already there. He framed and stuccoed the outside. Once they were done, they cleaned up like they were not even there. These contractors are very professional and the price reasonable. I will be using this company for future projects.

Riverview General Contractors came to give us a roof and gutter tune-up. They were extremely professional and knew what they were doing. Upon further inspection of my roof it was determined that I needed additional repairs which was not included in the price. I was fully aware of the issues with our roof. The price they gave us for the additional repairs was fair and reasonable and was completed to our satisfaction.

Humberto and his brother stopped in and explained that due to the size of the roof there would be an additional cost. The roof and gutters are on three levels. The additional cost was 75.00 dollars, which I thought was fair. I expected to pay an additional cost because the area is much more than the covered area was than indicated on the Angies list coupon. They were very professional and thorough. I highly recommend these gentlemen. They explained and addressed all my concerns.

Riverview went above and beyond in every way. The treated my house as if it was there own. They kept me informed with what was going on with any unexpected issues that may have come up. They are also a company with good moral fiber. I would recommend them 100%.

the work was done very professionally, on time and according to contract. We couldn't have been more pleased.

For some reason I got a flyer by mail.
