Jeff is amazing. What a great business. He is responsive, provides quality work and is reasonable and friendly all around. He did our brownstone facade and is now repointing our bricks in the back. Would recommend him to anyone.

Working with Ahmed from Excellent Contracting was a fantastic experience. Their responsiveness was impressive, and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

We just completed a project with Excellent Contracting and we're extremely happy with the work. They were meticulous in their treatment of our 120 year old brownstone, doing research on some of the details before making restorations. The timeline extended a little beyond originally planned, but that was due to the extensive details they immersed themselves in restoring. They were very aware and appreciative of the historical significance of the architecture they were working on. It was actually exciting to watch the progress on a daily and weekly basis. The crew was respectful and helpful whenever any questions were asked. It's heartening to know there are craftsmen still capable of doing this quality of work. We highly recommend Excellent Contracting.

We had Excellent repave the concrete in front of our house and install a vapor barrier along the base of the building. The work was impeccable and done on time. We're now lining up two additional jobs with Excellent to fix basement walls and repair leakage under our stairs. Mishu, who runs the business, is a gentleman who makes his customers feel like they're special and taken care of. He has come over repeatedly to troubleshoot and present me with a suite of options for how to deal with a variety of issues. He's honest and up front about what he can and cannot do. Highly recommended.

We used Excellent to refinish and refurbish the rear and front facades of our landmarked brownstone. The were responsive and professional and did great work.

Roger Cramer

Very professional company. They stand for their work and don't make a fuss to address issues or concerns. They make sure that as a client, we are happy with the end result. Jeff was very professional and courteous. They were punctual and delivered great results. I would strongly recommend them for restoration of historic brownstones in NYC.

See a Brooklyn Heights Brownstone Restored With Historic Facade, Handrails and Stoop

New ironwork gates and window guards with intricate details were also installed. When Jeff Haider from Excellent Contracting first saw 126 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights, the facade was in poor condition. “It had been resurfaced many years ago with a mismatched color,” he said. The glaring difference was the stoop — the only one on […]

How to Restore a Brownstone Facade

In the first half of the 19th century, a growing urban middle class was looking for something more distinguished than the usual brick facades. Marble, granite, and limestone were too expensive to ship to Brooklyn. Brownstone, a type of sandstone found in nearby New Jersey, was easy to transport and more affordable.
