It’s been more than\u00c2\u00a0a month since\u00c2\u00a0spot patching this up<\/a> during a\u00c2\u00a0freezing rain storm, but as of\u00c2\u00a0today\u00c2\u00a0the 2nd floor\u00c2\u00a0deck now\u00c2\u00a0has flashing\u00c2\u00a0installed,\u00c2\u00a0the supporting wall has been waterproofed and\u00c2\u00a0finished\u00c2\u00a0off with a bit of patterned stucco.<\/p>\n

The only thing that annoyed me was that the General Contractor that I had initially checked out had subcontracted to another contractor who, from what I was told, picks up overflow work. Not sure if the bond, license or insurance from the original GC carried over to this crew, I asked for the license number of these guys before work commenced. License and insurance checked out on NYC.gov Dept of Consumer Affairs<\/a>, and so did the work.<\/p>\n

The crew spoke and understood English and, thus far the only fault that’s been found was by Nifs, who noticed some small cracks in the concrete covering the flashing (I was told that this was normal for a non-flexing material like concrete).<\/p>\n

Most of the work waterproofing the exposed cinderblock wall was done on the neighbors property — so naturally I was a bit nervous about any debris\/trash that would be left. As it turns out, nothing was left on the neighbors patio at all, no trash, no drops of concrete or stucco – nothing.<\/p>\n
