Cohen's Concrete Construction

In June, we hired Ty'Shon to repair the brick around our front porch as well as a few small mortar patches on our chimney. He came out, gave us an estimate that was well below the others that we had received, and he was the only one who was able to get us on the schedule within a reasonable amount of time. We saw the previous bad reviews but given that the job was small, we took our chances and we're so glad we did! He and his crew were extremely professional and treated us and our home with care and respect. When the work was going to go over the original estimate (some unanticipated complications added time to the job) the costs were thoroughly explained BEFORE the work was done and approval was obtained. There were absolutely no surprises, which was so appreciated. When we needed further work done this month, we knew exactly who to call. We had a previous quote for a retaining wall, but Ty'Shon beat it easily and we are thrilled with the results. When his truck broke down, he rented a replacement just so he could get our job done without delay. He and he crew work so quietly that despite being right outside my bedroom window, I slept well past their arrival time. They were halfway done with the project before I woke up at my usual time. Again, they honored my schedule and respected my home.

I signed a contract with Tyshon Cohen the owner of the business in January to build an walk in closet onto my house. The contract stated the work out be complete by 2/28/20. I gave him payment of 5733.00 which was over 75% of the total cost. He came out 2 weeks later and poured the concrete slab on 2/14/20. He did NOT obtain a permit that was required to build so I called him 2/18/20 to let him know that he had to get one before he did anything else. I provided him with the contact and the phone number to obtain the permit. After that I have not hear from Tyshon at all. He avoids all calls, text and messages. I even reached out the man that issues the permits and he was never contacted by Tyshon to get a permit. DO NOT HIRE him if you want the work complete and you money not taken.

Mr. Cohen's work quality was very very poor. When challenged on his performance he became belligerent and verbally abusive.
