Daniel R. Wacks has done all cycle 11 as well as other work on the building I manage since 1997. I would highly recommend Dan and Zimmy who works with him. Extremely professional and knowledgeable.

Daniel Wacks
Owner
He came to me recommended by another trusted Landlord, Nick Petras. He seemed to be a perfect gentleman and a straightshooter. In retrospect, I probably would have hired him had I met him prior to hiring Salamon. Dan Wax does the engineering as well as the contracting, so if you'd like to save time and the hassle of dealing with separate entities, he might be your guy.
