RS Construction Co

great job on the bricks...it blends in also good job on the electrical repair, but the roof repair was not done correctly....he had to return to correct repairs and ended up charging me additional for that. This company should keep away from roofing

I'm very happy with this contractor's work. All my neighbors are complementing me on the way my house looks. Reaz is a good guy and he is very reliable and fair with his prices. If you need a reliable contractor who is easy to work with and does an excellent job, look no further! These guys come highly recommended! A+++++++++++

They did a very good job.  They were very neat and clean.  They can do many different tasks well.  The contractor has good workmen for all sorts of different types of jobs.  They also did some caulking and waterproofing around windows and brick for us.  He wanted to do our kitchen, but we had already hired a different contractor for that.

REFUSED to give us the Senior Citizen Discount mentioned on Angie's List. Quoted $500 for labor & materials (a precut countertop from Lowes) but insisted on a $500 payment after we paid $113 for the countertop. So the job cost more than the agreed amount. The workmen did show up on time and worked efficiently.  But they used an excessive amount of adhesive that spread out on the countertop. That excess adhesive is very messy and makes the work look sloppy.

Once the basement was guttered out discovery of foundation work was needed, they did a fabulous job .They then continued and gave me a complete finished basement.i have new electric, new heating system,new bathroom with updated plumbing,wooden /granite wet bar and my favorite a beautiful walk in closet.It took me 13 years to find a dependable,professional and reasonable contractor.Thank you Angie's List.

They first quoted me $1500, then each time they came out there were additional charges.  They were very responsive prior to me paying all of their money, once I gave them that last check, I have not been able to get in contact with them.  They wanted a down payment before work was started, I gave it to him.  It was done horribly.  They were there to pointing on the bricks on the back of my home.  The work was terrible, they used their fingers to part of the job.  They were very polite, they just don?t do great work.  They didn?t take the old caulking off to be able to point the brick from the old awning, they said they would come back to do it and they never did. They are supposed to make the color of the bricks the same.  You can see discoloration in the color of the bricks.  I asked if it was necessary to have it power washed prior.  I told him I wanted the brick in red and they made it in terracotta.  It was an amateur job.  When it dried I told them that it wasn?t the same color as the sample.  They informed me that it needed to be acid washed.  You can see the old brick color through the terracotta.  They left a mess at my house.  There is a bag of cement that got poured out and never got cleaned up.  They broke my light fixture on my back porch.  The entire fixture was broken and had live wire sticking out.  I had to hire an electrician to come out and fix this for $200.  They left coffee cups and cigarette butts everywhere in my yard.  I had landscapers come out to do work and they were nice enough to pick up their mess.  I had them leave their trash in a trash bag for when the contractors came back out they could just take the trash bag with them and it never happened.  They even got the paint on my security camera and never whipped it off.  They changed the cover for my air conditioner as well. They tore the sheet rock. When I called them to come back he said they would be back that night and when I got home they left a voicemail for me saying that they could not make it and they would call back.  They never called back or never showed up.

When I finally spoke with them he said that I cost him a lot of business and did not want any referral from me. He told me that he would be back, but I do not feel comfortable. I would not like him back in my house. The concrete dust is really thick when it settles. I would appreciate them paying the bill that I will have to pay for the concrete dust to be cleaned up.

Fine

The work was excellent and the workers were outstanding. They left a few things in the yard the clean-up wasn't great.

Terrible!!!They hardly ever came to my house to do the job. Mohammed the owner went to his country for 3 months. He left one of his workers in charge named Ali. He hardly came over to do the work on my house. If he did, which was rare ,he only came with one worker and with an attitude.So much time wasted. They left me hanging. They would only come to my house once or twice every 3 weeks. They mixed my tiles in he kitchen and bath. They mixed them together. That was in the beginning when Mohammed was still around. He said they look very similar. Why do it over.What! These were 2 different sets of beige tiles. 1 set for the kitchen and 1 set for the bathroom. You can clearly see they look different. How can they do that. I told him I wanted it done over. It was never done over . They just ignored me. I had to hire a new contracting company to do that. They eventually took over and did everything right. The painting was all smudged in certain spots. You can even see the old paint underneath the paint they did. I had a painting contractor look at it and he said they just primed it white. They did not use ny white paint on top of the primer. They also never used dropcloths for the floor. The wood floors took a beating like you have never seen before. I would definitely not recommend them to anyone who needs a home improvement job. Obviously they dont care about the customers home or feelings. Its only about themselves and getting paid as soon as possible even if the job is not done right.Mohammed is not a good boss. He never once called me to see how things were going when he was not around for 3 months. If he has the nerve to question all if this which is true and I have the proof then he can see me in court with my lawyer.

Their estimate was one of the lowest and they were willing to do what was asked of them. Some of the other contratctors did not want to do what was asked of them (ex. waiting for the 2nd spraying  24 hours in case it rained, before comming back to do it). The only thing that they did not get 'right' was that the overspray did dirty the glass on the windows and door, some was the 'winds fault'. They cleaned it but they could not get out everything.
When they tried to clean the Intercom the cleaner took out some of the paint. They gave us money in order to replace the outside parts of the intercom.
Yes, we were very satisfied with the overall work and will use them again. Minus the overpraying, we were very happy with all of their work and good price.

RS Construction are professional - the whole job took about 3 months to complete - this is when we had the bad season of rain. They mostly showed up to work on time and always left the work area as clean as possible. They would put rolling paper on floors to protect the hardwood and also swept the area before they left. One thing that is great is that they are reachable by e-mail and phone and actually ANSWER emails and return phone calls. These are genuinely good guys. They even helped me move in a couch that i had delivered from ikea. I'm happy with the work and the service.

Keeping the work area as clean as possible should be in their contract! They need more resilient drop cloths--no paper rolls, please! The parquet floor took a beating from the cinderblocks and bricks. Order quality materials way ahead of time (AKA-the windows, the baseboards, the wood for the sills). Be mindful of the neighbors as they can be RS Constructions next customers! But with only two skilled masons the work went SLOW! The owner's brother pitched in with carpentry, minor electrical work and some masonry but should be a more mindful apprentice to his brother' hired and skilled masons in order to help more with the masonry and give his company a better edge on finishing jobs on time. The shingling of the decorative overhang could have been done more neatly. Some of  shingling doesn't hug the surface despite the tar flashing used and the nailing. Yes, it was a HOT day when that was done!

Major leak in gutter and wall. Two men and the owner came.  The owner specked out the job, and the two men stayed all day and worked on it.  It took longer than he anticipated.  Everything went smoothly.  The owner discussed the rest of the building's roof, position of wall, waterproofing with us, which was helpful.  However this additional work was not.  We did not do any comparison pricing but we think the price was reasonable.

They gave me a reasonable estimate and then did the job as quickly as possible around the weather. They took care of little extras without complaint and left the job site clean.

We had bid out the work to several construction companies that focused on waterproofing. Some responded and some didnt. We were looking for a more affordable solution than a full brownstone restoration project. RS had one of the most affordable bids and they were able to clearly explain the work and walk through everything step by step. They worked on site for a couple of weeks but on and off due to the rain in late November. All the workers were very respectful and they left the area clean after they finished at the end of the job.

Reaz and his team at RS construction provided a very reasonable cost estimate. This is the third project we have done with them. They showed up when they said they would. They had more people than expected and worked diligently all day. They were clean, quiet, non-intrusive and overall professional and courteous. They had to let some parts dry before they could finish so they returned a few days later and completed the work. The part that was most impressive is that roof flashing is dirty disgusting stuff that gets everywhere no matter how careful you are. Somehow these guys kept everything spotless!

Most importantly our roof is not leaking and I feel confident we will get through the winter. Once we have other major work done, we will have RS bid on a complete roof replacement. We also have about 3 other projects I will look to them for. They have been reliable, trustworthy and professional. They have become a go-to source for many of our contracting needs.

We received the estimate from RS Construction to repair the back wall and side wall on 8/23/2011.  The work was completed on 8/28/2011.  We had other work done on the roof, chimney, and the area under the gutter where a leak was discovered.  The response from RS Construction was very prompt and the work was completed on 9/4/2011.  We are very pleased with their work and would use them again for other projects.  We highly recommend them. 

.

He came out three or four times to try to fix it but at the end of the day, the roof still leaks. When we called them back to tell them that, they said that is all they can do. He did not know enough about the roof to figure it out. He was here when he said he would be. I will not use them again. He used white caulking on a dark green ceramic tile roof so now when you look at the roof of my house, my roof looks  like a checkerboard. Maybe he should have used darker colored caulking. 

Estimate for the job was among the lowest (2nd best out of 5)
Completion of job - scheduled for 1-2 days; took 4 (which incidentally, was no great concern since it did not inconvenience anything)
Materials used on job - not as anticipated; outdoor grade 3/4" plywood was ripped on site with numerous small pieces being used 
            instead of using 1-2" boards of the appropriate width and length
     What constituted damaged wood was disputed, but resolved in my favor
The workers (ranging from 2 to 4 on work days) were pleasant, respectful and cleaned up after themselves - the contractor as well

The repairs themselves were not necessarily the best looking on the block, but appear sturdy and are adequate
I would most  certainly consider using this contractor again but would be more involved in what materials were to be used and how they 
            were to be applied

It was, all in all, a satisfactory conclusion of this contract.
    

the main guy in the co. arrived the time he promised. he told us with confidence how he could repair the roof and gutter areas.
1/2  the monies agreed were given the first day to cover cost of materials.  then the job took the better part of a day.  that same night it rained.  water once again leaked into the same room.  i called and a promise to come back was kept. a more thorough search around the attic and a hose running water over the roof was done.  
all was fixed with a promise to return and repair should a problem occur.  at that time the balance was paid and a signed receipt was given,  

Service was professional. The guys should up on time on the day they were suppose to. Work was good quality. When we had questions or concerns, they were willing to listen. At the end of the job, we had several items on our punch list which R&S took care of quickly.  Check periodically on the work that they are performing. Some of the workers were very skilled while others seemed to have less training. Overall, I recommend them

When the job was completed I had assumed that the work was done to the best of their ability, and because of their great write ups on Angie's List I did not think that I would have to go behind them to check every little thing.  The leaders and gutters on the building were find also the repair and re-caulking of the windows, so was the waterproofing of the back of the house. 

The replastering and repairing of the inside walls was totally unprofessional.  The work was done by one the workers who had never done anything like that before, the owner had atested to that, he also agreed to come and repair everything that was damaged.  I have yet to see him.  I personally will never use them again, simply because I took the owner for his word and believed that he would make good on the bad work, but he never came bad.

I needed to redo my previous write up so that everyone knows that R&S Construction does not have a good rep for following up. 

All and all, the type of jobs we needed completed, went well.    We highly recommend these guys for jobs that do not require detail or extreme cleanliness.  Raez uses guys that do not speak English, so it is difficult to communicate needs if Raez is not present.  Like most contractors, he has a couple of jobs going on at the same time and it is difficult for him to be present all the time for quality control.  Raez is very open to communication and is accessible via phone.  So, be sure to communicate your expectations.  He is eager to please.
