At Captain Renovation & Contracting Inc., we pride ourselves on more than just high-quality craftsmanship. We pride ourselves on the relationships we build with our clients through exceptional service, reliable planning, and our commitment to finishing the job right.
Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a client on a challenging cornice refurbishment project for their historic Brooklyn building. We are so proud of our team that we want to share the details of this success story, highlighting the feedback we received from one of our satisfied customers, Arielle Benedek.
Here’s a look at what made this project such a unique and rewarding experience for both our team and the client.
A Problem-Solving Approach to Cornice Refurbishment
In the world of contracting, unexpected challenges are the rule, not the exception. The mark of a true professional is how those challenges are managed.
When we started planning for this refurbishment, our initial plan was to use a cherry picker to access the cornice. This approach would have been fast, but on the day of the job, we were met with a real-world obstacle: parked cars along the narrow street.
Flexibility in the Face of Adversity
As Arielle notes in her review, “[Our team] pivoted and came back during a holiday weekend to use suspended scaffolding instead.”
This flexibility is a hallmark of Captain Renovation & Contracting Inc. We didn’t delay the job or demand a change of schedule; instead, our team showed the responsiveness that defines us. We understood that minimal disruption was a priority, especially for the neighbors. By shifting our access strategy and working on a holiday weekend, we ensured the project continued without causing inconvenience to others in the building or the neighborhood.
This level of problem-solving ensured that a potential major issue became a minor adjustment.
Precision, Speed, and “White-Glove” Service
The suspended scaffolding didn’t slow us down. As Arielle writes, our flexible approach allowed for a “seamless and quick job that only took 2 days.”
But being fast is only part of the story. The detailed work on a cornice refurbishment requires precision. We made sure to:
• Refurbish the cornice meticulously: Every piece of the project was handled with care, ensuring the final result was beautiful and preserved the building’s historic character.
• Leave the roof cleaner than we found it: We take pride in our “white-glove” standard. When the project was done, we spent extra time repainting any spots where there were foot markings. Our goal is to leave the property in better condition than it was before we arrived.
