Smart General Contracting

Smart General Contracting has established itself as a go-to for Brooklyn brownstone owners who need exterior masonry and concrete work. Ahmad, who runs the operation, earns remarkably consistent praise across reviews: responsive communication, competitive pricing, and quality execution. Whether it's replacing limestone steps, re-stuccoing retaining walls, or restoring courtyard concrete in landmarked buildings, the work is described as meticulous and fairly priced.

The company's strongest suit is concrete and masonry restoration — stoops, driveways, paver projects, and brick repointing. Ahmad is responsive to how customers want jobs done and adjusts his approach accordingly, which matters on brownstones where aesthetic details can be as important as structural integrity. His crews are described as hard-working and pleasant, and cleanup earns consistent marks.

While Smart General Contracting handles roofing and waterproofing, the review record suggests their primary expertise lies in masonry and concrete. For brownstone owners whose exterior needs span both roofing and masonry, Ahmad can handle the full scope — but the strongest endorsements center on the ground-level work where his craftsmanship is most evident.
