The Betterbuilt Story

A decade and a half ago, Shlomy Pollak entered the world of construction with modest job responsibilities and bold dreams. Working for prominent New York developer Joel Schwartz, Shlomy began making his bones in the rough-and-tumble world of New York real estate. 

After learning the ropes and rising through the ranks, he took the leap in 2016 and launched Betterbuilt Builders, a multifaceted general contracting firm that has become synonymous with quality, efficiency, speed and results. His reputation for excellence has helped the fledgling company make an impact on the industry, and today Betterbuilt counts itself among New York’s proudest and most reliable construction firms.

Testimonials

Shlomy and his team just completed a ground up project for us and are starting a new job together as well. This time Shlomy & Co. is getting involved from the development planning phase. So far it has paid off as we are able to cut out additional costs and maximize every inch to further create a better return on our project. Shlomy is always on top of the outstanding work - pushing everyone involved, coordinating and making sure everything is being completed in a timely manner. While his speed is impressive, his quality of workmanship, attention to detail and standards are always high and where I want them. I hope to complete many more projects with Betterbuilt Builders and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and thorough contractor.

Betterbuilt Builders has been doing an amazing job at the projects we have done together. Shlomy Pollak has been a truly great friend, and it was a great pleasure working with him. His wide knowledge in the construction industry and leadership skills are a recipe for success. He is best known and famous for his astonishing speed and the short duration of time from the beginning of a project till the very end. He has built an impressive name for himself as a General Contractor who nothing will stand in his way getting his job done at lighting speed in the same time meeting the highest standards of quality and safety. I'm looking forward to doing many more projects together.

Shlomy Pollak opened up BetterBuilt Builders after working for us at Southside units for many years. He is skilled, knowledgeable and pays great attention to detail. We have used BetterBuilt on a few of our job sites and only had great experiences. Shlomy and his team are easy to work with and they do quick and efficient work. His number one priority is the customer. I would tell anyone looking for a contractor to hire him.

My overall experience with Betterbuilt was very positive and I look forward to working with you again. I would without a doubt recommend BetterBuilt for any future projects to any potential clients. When we initiated and signed contract for our future home, we didn’t know what BetterBuilt was capable of. We just trusted they would do a job well done, and they didn’t let us down. That project was the foundation of our relationship. We trust and know that BetterBuilt will provide a quality and smooth experience, because of the work they have already done for us was the same.

Shlomy and his team at Betterbuilt just completed two projects for us in Brooklyn. While building in NYC has its ongoing and unique challenges, Shlomy and his team were there to navigate through the building process from beginning to end. From changing plans to make the project more economical to dealing with the Building Dept and all the subs to completing the final punch lists, Shlomy always made sure to represent ownership as if the project belonged to him. Shlomy and his team are professional, courteous and meticulous and we are looking forward to building many more projects together.
