ABOUT US

  We have used Captain for several jobs and Mr. Hossain and his workers are consistently professional and perform excellent work.

  My wife and I just wanted to add our voice to those who have already recommended Captain. We couldn't be happier with the brownstone restoration work and we have already... read more recommended Captain to several neighbors who have seen the wonderful work Captain did for us. A factor in our selecting Mosharaf's team was the strong recommendation we received from two homeowners on our block who used Captain previously.

My wife and I hired Captain to totally redo the front facade of our late 1800s Italianate-style brownstone located in the Fort Greene Historic District. Scope of work started out as redoing the entire front facade and stoop and we subsequently expanded the scope to include making minor repairs to the mansard roof and replacing the downspout -- seemed a shame to not do that given how beautiful the rest of the front was looking! Our building had meaningful damage from years of neglect and the details around the windows and doors had washed away. Mosharaf was able to totally transform the look of our home to something straight out of an architectural magazine. The acanthus brackets on the parlor and garden floors again have the intricate leaf detail (each window seemed to take about two days of restoration work given the detail), while those at the upper floors have the curvy wave-like detail that brings back the original architectural character of the building. Our home is more beautiful than we expected.

Mosharaf communicated well with us often both via text and in person. Each day Mosharaf had anywhere from 3 to 8 people on the job site, with the number closer to 3 in the last phase given the focus on detail work and the fact that only a few folks can really do the highly detailed work properly --- that really is the part we didn't want to rush. Mosharaf and his team were also flexible in their timing and accommodated days we didn't want them to work (e.g., our daughter's birthday party) and worked well with another contractor (we installed bluestone out front to replace the concrete sidewalk/areaway). All in all we were told it would require about 4 months of work and it took two weeks longer which wasn't much of an inconvenience for us. We would happily do it all over again for the end result!!!

  Captain renovation has done several excellent jobs for us on our brownstone in Brooklyn Heights over the past several years: removed paint and restored front brick facade; repainted rear; exterior... read more carpentry; complete brownstone overhaul; and replace sidewalk. All of the work has been done to the highest professional standard. Mr. Hussein has been a pleasure to deal with. They come when they say they will come and stick to the prices they give. Appear to have all necessary licenses, insurance etc (and get necessary permits from Landmarks, etc.).

  Hossain re-built a cornice for me on a Brownstone in Brooklyn and then applied two coats of weather-proof paint to it. The old one had started to fall apart and... read more had become home to a family of very messy pigeons. There was some minor initial delays on the project because of the weather, but then he finished in two days as promised, and for a good price. Communication was easy (in person, text, cellphone, and email) and I would hire and recommend him and his crew for similar projects.

  Captain repaired the cornice on our brownstone and we are very happy with his work. We live in Carroll Gardens and after getting a few estimates we decided on Captain.... read more He is very professional and cares about his work and his workers. He came every day to check on his men and make sure everything was going good. They are neat and cleaned up after every day of working. His price is very reasonable and there are no hidden costs. The price he quotes you is the price you pay. No extras, like some contractors who come up with additional fees at the end of jobs. I highly recommend Captain Renovation and Contracting.

  Musharaf was a pleasure to work with. He was always responsive and prompt and restored our South Slope cornice to its glory in just two days. His workers were also... read more friendly and respectful. Thanks Captain. You have our vote.
