"Moises and Edward and the crew did a repair of my facia. They told me to get PVC so it would last longer. They also repaired cracked walls and ceiling and painted. They did perfect work. Did so good I kept finding more work for them because it looked so good. They are so polite and respectful and right on time. Also they are very fair with their prices and don't push for or more work. I now consider them friends. Don't waste you're time because you won't beat their prices. They can do anything too. Bathroom, kitchen, floors. I will hire them again they are the best."

"We had our entire house, 3 car garage and smaller shed completely re-sided and painted through Handymack. The work was fast, cost effective, and beautiful. Everyone was extremely professional and worked with us with every request we had. Judy, Mack wife, was amazing to work with. She was so sweet and did not hesitate to call if they had questions about a paint color, light fixture or our experience. They also tore down our previous front porch and built a new one. It is absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I will 100% hire this company again for the re-modeling of the interior of our home. Thank you Handy Mack"

After this experience, I will only use Classic Construction again in the future. This contractor and every one of his workers/employees were prompt, courteous and professional. They worked together as a team and there wasn't a single day where they were late or left any debris or mess behind. I didn't hear a single excuse and there were no surprise costs added anywhere along the way.

We continue to get compliments from everyone that visits. This is by far the best experiences that I ever had with a contractor!

"It went well! I expected it to take a long time to get it picked up, but I called for the bag to be emptied on Friday and they were here Saturday! I am already filling it up again. (We have a MESS from the storm and need to finish the kitchen before this weekend's company coming in from out of town.) I have already called them to request my bag be emptied on Friday, and they have me on the schedule! I can't believe the customer service is so great! This is not a regular dumpster company. I have a dumpster delivered last summer and they gouged my driveway. What a nightmare it was to get them to pay for the driveway to be fixed. NEVER AGAIN! It's BullBag only for our future needs."

"We needed handicap bars in the shower for my mother so we checked Angies list and found Frank. He's such a nice guy. He gave us a quote over the phone and was here 30 minutes later. He even told us about the Angies list coupon he has to save us money. You can't find a more honest person. Thanks Frank and good luck."

"Overview - In short the job went exceedingly well, I have zero complaints and Pete (the owner) was one of the most honest gentlemen I've had the pleasure to do business with.  I have already used him to finish my porch and will be using him again in the future.  Heritage's phone number is one you need to keep on file, these guys are amazing!!!
The Estimate - Pete came promptly to my home to give me an estimate on the work requested.  He spent so much time with me listening to my desires and taking the time to explain how we could make them work, things that wouldn't work, and giving me ideas that I never even thought of.  There was never a moment where he rushed me, cut me off, or pushed an agenda on me; that was quite refreshing.  
The Work - Pete and his crew arrived at the time indicated to begin work.  Before they started he told me what to expect, what they would be doing and about how long it would take.  His expectation management and time estimation were on point and made me feel comfortable knowing what goals I could expect to be reached each day.  His work was done impeccably and with no disturbance to my home, my existing landscaping or lawn!  Their craftsmanship is excellent, their attention to detail is amazing, and everything was done with pride as if they were working on their own home. 
Warranty - During the fall I had a few EXTREMELY small issues, this was two months after everything was completed.  I gave Pete a call and explained the problem and he came out as soon as he had time (which was quite quick) to rectify the problem.  He stands by his company and his work, he will never leave you high and dry; a true businessman.  More construction companies should have the pride that Heritage does, these are people who actually and genuinely care about their customers.
Thank you guys for all the work and I look forward to you doing my yard in the very near future!!

"The old roof had 2 layers which was torn off and replaced with GAF shingles. Ice and water shields were installed where needed and copper flashing was placed around the chimney. Deck Armor was used as the underlayment and a ridge vent was also installed. My roof was 1850 sq. feet in area. The crew was efficient and the job took 2 days to complete as I also had a "plastic" roof over my deck replaced which was a separate job from the main roofing job and not part of the $8410 price. The original contract allowed for 5 free plywood sheets to be installed if needed. Unfortunately I needed 36 sheets to be replaced. Each additional sheet cost $60 which changed the cost of the job significantly. When I complained to Rich (the owner) he took off $200 which effectively lowered the cost of each sheet to $53. At Home Depot each sheet costs about $19.45 if not bought in bulk. Of course the labor needed to install the sheet drives up that price dramatically. My personal opinion was the price per sheet still should have been under $50 but on the other hand Rich did not have to lower the price at all. In the end it was a fair compromise. My only real complaint was they neglected to clean the gutters. When I inspected the job after a rain I found over 3 dozen nails, wood splinters, and roof fragments in the gutters. Overall the job was done well but the real test will be if the water and ice shields will stop a leak in my kitchen window area when it snows and the durability of the roof itself. Finally when submitting a review you must answer yes or no to whether you would hire a company again. In this case my answer is really maybe depending on whether the estimate of the project is more competitive."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Hempstead, NY

Most sheds larger than six feet by eight feet require a foundation to remain level and dry. A compact tool shed might get by without one, but anything heavier should sit on at least a 4-inch-thick stone-and-gravel pad that extends two feet past the walls. The gravel protects wood skids and promotes drainage. If you want maximum stability—and your budget allows—a poured concrete slab is the strongest option.

Your ideal shed size hinges on purpose. A common 10-by-12-foot kit gives you 120 square feet—plenty for lawn tools and bikes. Need just a spot for a mower and a few rakes? A compact 4-by-7-foot model should work. If you’re envisioning a workshop or hobby room, look at 12-by-16 feet or larger.

A good rule is to raise the shed floor four to six inches above the surrounding soil. That clearance encourages water to drain away instead of pooling beneath the structure. The simple step is especially important for wood floors and skids, helping deter rot, mold, and insect damage while extending the life of your new outbuilding.

Choose the route that fits your goals. Prefab sheds arrive in standard layouts and go up fast—perfect for basic storage on a tight timeline. Custom builds cost more and take longer, but let you add windows, wiring, plumbing, and unique finishes. Balance budget, features, and timeframe before deciding which type of shed is best for your needs.
