Fr Contracting

FR Contracting is led by Shaiful, a hands-on contractor who has built a solid reputation in Brooklyn's brownstone belt for exterior restoration work. The company's sweet spot is the kind of work that aging NYC buildings constantly need: roof-deck replacements, waterproofing, brick repointing, facade repairs, and concrete step rebuilds. Shaiful is personally involved from the initial estimate through project completion, which gives customers a single point of contact throughout.

Reviewers consistently praise two things: reasonable pricing and clean execution. Waterproofing projects finish in three days, step rebuilds are completed to code, and crews leave sites clean. The company also handles stucco work, fence replacement, and boom-lift facade work — a useful range for building owners dealing with multiple exterior issues.

The one caveat worth noting: Shaiful prefers to work from on-site measurements and direction rather than architectural drawings. For straightforward exterior repairs and restoration, this isn't an issue. But for custom projects requiring precise adherence to plans, homeowners should plan to be present during layout and measurement phases to ensure specifications are met.
