Get matched with top landscape minor grading or resloping pros in Kew Gardens, NY

"The job was done beautifully. I'm very pleased and will be using them again for future projects"

"My previous contractor disappeared with my money and left my job half done. I saw the work J&S did on my neighbors gate and decided to take a chance on them. I must say, they exceeded my expectations, I now have a beautiful deck for my summer BBQs. Thanks to John and his wife who was in communication every step of the way."

"Rosemarie and her team did an incredible job transforming our backyard. Previously, we had issues with drainage and our yard was basically a muddy, unusable space. We had previously gotten estimates from other companies and were disappointed with the cookie cutter approach we received. By contrast, Rosemarie came out to visit us, patiently listened to what we were dealing with and what our goals were for the yard, and came up with a vision that exceeded our expectations. Her team executed on that vision at a very high level. They worked efficiently and carefully and were respectful of our property and neighbors. We have been so pleased with the results. The installation just wrapped up a few weeks ago, but we have already used our yard much more frequently. The plants that went in are thriving and the drainage issues that we had previously dealt with have gone away. Throughout the process, Rosemarie and her team provided a high level of transparency, responsiveness and communication. They clearly take pride in their work (and their enthusiasm for native plants is infectious!) and we were consistently impressed by their expertise, resourcefulness and vision. We highly, highly recommend Our Temenos."

"Excellent company and excellent communication skills! They kept me well-informed throughout the process, and I will continue to use their service for future projects!"

"Two men arrived on time and went up and down a staircase to get all the stuff up in the loft. We looked at what came down and decided whether to have them put it in the dumpster they provided or if we wanted to keep it. They where fast ! They worked hard , they where polite and we thought they did a great job. We did have them come one more time for the rest of the stuff we had to get rid of. They swept up after everything was out and it was a big job. So, the price we are estimating was for two times they came .

"Knowledgable, inexpensive and VERY helpful!
So... to sum it up,
Eddy was the most knowledgable person we have spoken to about trees.
The quote for trimming the remaining trees in the yard was extremely
cheap.  He was so helpful not only on the
trees we called about, but on recommendations for the future as well!
Now here's the down and dirty...
A certified Aroborist came out for a free estimate to check out our yard.
 He was on time and very nice.  We called to have him look at our
redwoods which haven't been looking so great recently, but he started in
the front yard and gave us some free advice on our trees out there as
well as the backyard.
When we went to the backyardto look at our
redwoods, he said they look healthy and are starting to come back to
life... basically, we don't need his services!!  (Another guy who was
not certified said he would trim it for $600!!!).  Eddy from Double Tree
service (not the other guy) said to leave the remaining 6 trees
alone this season and call him in 6-10 months to come back for a
trimming.
He was SO knowledgable.  Immediately he asked when
we had the patio slate put in, and attributed that to the health of our
trees (apparently the roots had been dug out and the dirt in the back
suffocated the roots on the far side?!  Who knew?).  But he recommended
that we wait to see how the tree responds before trimming it.
The rough estimated quote for trimming all the trees and possibly removing
one (that would eventually damage the slate and brick wall) was
EXTREMELY reasonable.
Bottom line... THEY ARE THE BEST!!!  Definitely hire these guys above anyone else... your wallet and yard will thank you for it.

This was a huge stress for me because of a huge budget and my wife was expecting our first child. I researched construction companies for months and attended two home improvement shows at my local college before getting bids from 3 or 4 companies. The ones I decide were all members with NARI. My contact person with Kenstruction was Gary Conrad. First impressions was that he was knowledgeable and professional. I used photos from remodeling magazines and my own sketches to show Gary what we wanted. About Two weeks later I had all the bids laid out of the table. We decided on Kentruction because of reference phone calls, photos of their work, NARI certifications and price. Their price wasn't the lowest, But it wasn't the highest. The price was reasonable for the job. 

Upon Signing with Kentruction, Gary went to work on permits and detailed plans. The framing was done my Kenstruction staff. The plumbing, electrical, drywall, insulation, tile, wood floors and foundation work was done by subcontractors. I only had quality issues with the drywall subcontractor and the foundation. I understand Kenstruction no longer uses those drywall subs. The foundation sub showed up at my front door with a bill for the concrete as the last truck was pouring. That bill should have went to Gary. Once I let Gary know he immediately took care of it. The foundation sub also tried to burry an old concrete rear patio stoop next to the new foundation, instead of removing it all together. The local building inspector caught it. Gary was informed and his crew broke up and removed the concrete patio before back filling.

Once the crew put the shell up, the rest went without a problem. Gary built a custom wood tub surround so it can be removed for future repair or service. Payment was done is stages as the project progressed. The company owner, Kent showed up at the site to see the work. When the remodel was done they even had someone clean the entire house.

In 2011, I notice one small vertical crack develop on each new concrete wall. I contacted Gary and he came out to look at it. He advised it's normal stress crack and not an issue. If it got any larger he would repair it. I researched it and stress cracks are normal and not a problem. The cracks don't appear to have grown.

Now its 2014, and all the work is holding up well. All I had to is replace the new bath exhaust fan. Any future project, Kenstruction will be on my bid list.

 **** UPDATE *****

July, 2014 I just had Kentstruction here for their 4HR remodel deal. They came over to put up a storage platform in the attic for storage. Gary came over and installed it himself. Looks good. Thanks.

"My house came out amazing! Anthony is an extremely nice guy and is very fare with his prices. He does beautiful mason & landscaping work."

"It went very, very well. John and his crew of men came the first day (the heavy rains day) to start the work of relieving the hydro-static pressure, which was the opposite of where I thought the water was coming into the house on rainy days. I thought it was through windows and walls. I came home holding my breath to see that despite minor flooding in parts of Brooklyn and a full day of rain the basement was dry! It was exactly what was needed; waterproofing. They came back after the holidays to complete the work of laying the drain pipes outside and were patient in explaining the work to me and what I would need to do, basically nothing as it is a self-managing system. John was not on site for the second part but his crew was very communicative and it was very easy to be in touch with John about the remaining work. They are very good about laying tarp down to keep floors safe and about clean up.
