  Mobbed-up thugs who aim dirt and pebbles at motorists and parked cars.

  Peter and his crew do amazing work! This family run business takes a great deal of pride in everything they do. We had a somewhat small project sort of piggy backing off our neighbors concrete job. Van Alphen Bros exceeded expectations and even gave us more than we agreed upon. We’re very happy with the outcome. See before and after photos. Thank you!

  This was our 3rd time using Val Alphen Bros for contract work and they set the bar even higher with quality timely work. You’d have to be crazy to not at least consider Peter Sandy and the crew to take care of your needs.

  We chose Van Alphen to redo our backyard with pavers and to address other surrounding concrete work. We couldn’t be happier.. Dealing with the Van Alphen family gave us a good feeling.. Pete was honest, very clear and professional on the work that we needed.. Sandy was very responsive and courteous on all inquiries that we had.. The team doing the work was tremendous… hard working, respectful, knowledgeable , appreciative and courteous…. Made the process very stress free.. Pete layed out the job perfectly so we knew what was going on and the team followed it to a tee. The completed job was perfect and without any stress or issues.. more than you can ask for Thank you for a great job and I would highly recommend Van Alphen.

  The big fibs the previous owner of my house told me were: 1) No problem with parking on the street, and; 2) You'll have a nice dry basement. Parking on my block is tough, year round. Very tough. And my basement, well, I used to dread every rainfall no matter how slight. My wife and I used a shopvac, mops and towels to deal with the water coming in. The other issue that arose over time was the need to repair or replace our aging sidewalks. Finally we had enough of patchwork solutions and Brooklyn style searching for parking spaces. We asked around about the best contractor for concrete work including sidewalks and driveways. We met with a few and opted for Van Alphen Bros. We hired an architect who designed our driveway to comply with a host of NYC regs and red tape and handed the plans off to Pete Van Alphen. His guys arrived on time, worked steadily until completion - also on time - and the final cost was exactly what we had been quoted. To say I was pleased would be an understatement. The driveway is beautiful but the other thing, the thing I had been a bit skeptical about, was the issue of water in the basement. The new sidewalks were nice to look at, no more cracks, as we expected. What I was astonished to find was that the sidewalks around the perimeter of the house now diverted rain water into the yard. Four years later my shopvac is very lonely. It has some mops to keep it company but they are bone dry. Of course, the question remains - do Van Alphen Bros stand behind their work if there is a problem. The answer is yes. An emphatic yes. We had to call Pete back to fix some minor crack in the concrete under a staircase. Pete arrived soon after. As he needed to use my new driveway to park his vehicles and equipment my wife asked him to be careful near my motorcycle. Pete said, "Don't worry, I have two myself, I know how he feels about his bike." Pete fixed the issue, permanently, with no inconvenience to us. A fair price, an honest quote, quick service and work done right and on time. That's Van Alphen. Pete and Sandra were great to work with. I recommend them for any masonry work you might want done - and done right.
