“Irfan replaced the coating on the front steps at 249 and 251 Beacon Streets. It took quite a while to get through the city permitting process and Irfan was both patient with the time and diligent about ensuring that he met the complicated requirements designed to preserve the historical look of our brownstone with colored stucco instead of painted stucco. Once selected for the work, Irfan did an excellent job on the stairs. He and his helpers kept at the job until it was done, with no unnecessary delays. They cleaned up every night and made sure we had easy access to our homes. Near the end of the job he recommended an additional step of sealing the stucco and we are very happy with the way it keeps water from damaging the job. He also gave us a two year warranty, providing peace of mind that they job will last. It looks great and is wearing nicely!I highly recommend Irfan’s work for other clients who need their stairs redone in a historically correct manner.”
“ I live in a brownstone in the South End of Boston and Irfan redesigned and completely rebuilt our front stairs leading to the main entrance of the building. He also did other work on the back lintels of our building. Not only is his work is impeccable, but he is very considerate of peoples time, always arrives when he says he will and leaves the site in very excellent condition. The entire stairway process was a bit daunting as we had to enter and exist the building on a daily basis around this project. But Irfan developed a process that not only worked but worked extremely well and was pretty seamless. The quality of his workmanship is the best and he takes extreme pride in that. He is reasonable, always stands behind his work, and is a man of high integrity when it comes to completing a job. I highly recommend Irfan to anyone who needs masonry services.”
“We have known Irfan for many years and he has worked on multiple projects for us and our neighbors. Irfan is reliable, hard working, and talented. Most recently, Irfan did a large patio for our home in Cambridge. Irfan did an excellent job collaborating with us on the design, and was very careful and double checked all the measurements at the outset to ensure the proper fit and proportions. During the construction, Irfan and his small crew did an excellent job always leaving the site organized and clean for the next day’s work. Irfan selected beautiful stones and we had no extra or wasted materials. Irfan was very methodical with the installation and the patio came out beautifully. We would not hesitate to hire Irfan in the future and recommend him without reservation. ”
“I served as architect on a new house project, for which Irfan constructed extensive stone retaining walls and steps, blue stone patios, and a bluestone floor within the screened porch. He first constructed mockups which we discussed and approved. From that point on the work continued uninterrupted through winter and spring. Irfan’s craft is clearly evident by the beauty and durability of the masonry work. ”
“We have utilized Irfan’s talents for a number of projects. He has reconstructed one side of our stone garage, built a storage area with a fence and concrete floor in the back yard, solved a basement water issue, and repaired trouble spots in our driveway and retaining wall. Irfan’s costs are very reasonable, he is always timely and he conducts his work professionally. And there doesn’t seem to be anything he cannot do. He is the first person we think of for most projects. We highly recommended him.”
“Irfan built two garden gates for us. The gates enter a small backyard garden. Irfan helped us design and build these gates so that the yew hedge can grow over them. This involved digging the foundation for two pillars, and building the doors: one is a single door with a rounded top; the other is a double door. Then Irfan created iron polls about six incheds apart from each other, that arch over the doors and porticos, over which the garden yews are growing. The hedge enclosing the garden, will enclose the gates also. Irfan is a hard worker with creative problem solving abilities, and good design sensibility. I highly recommend Irfan.”
“Irfan has been doing work at our home for over 12 years. Irfan takes pride in his work as if it were his own, leaves the site cleaner than when he arrived, an of course, does impeccable work. Irfan does not waste time and therefore is able to complete the work on time as promised. He also has a wonderful crew and together they produce beautiful projects. Irfan has a tremendous knowledge base having spent so many years with S&H Construction. I highly recommend Irfan for any stonework you may have.”
“Irfan did a great job for us in Cambridge, repair some uneven bricks in the sidewalk in front of our house. Ifran and his assistant were very efficient, came right when they said they would, and did a great job. They also were very accommodating in working around our schedule in finding a convenient time to get the job done. We would definitely use Irfan again, for another small job like the sidewalk or a big one too. He’s great.”
“Irfan has worked on several projects for our company and was reliable , efficient and went out of his way to make sure you were satisfied. His employees were hard workers and I would highly recommend him for any landscape /masonry project.”
