Customers say: Super punctual

"Great Lakes Builders were amazing. They were fantastic problem solvers and partners, collaborating every step of the way with our structural engineer and us. It was apparent that completing quality work within the timeframe and estimate really mattered to them. We were even out of town for part of our project, and they zoomed with us daily to show us exactly what was being done. They were helpful in connecting us to outside contractors (dry wall, electrician, etc) so that by the time the project was completed, it was REALLY completed. They were meticulous, methodical, helpful AND friendly."

"I would (and almost certainly will) work with AGGO again! We are buying a house and something came up where we needed a structural engineer to inspect something on very short notice. I reached out though Angi's to any company that might possibly employ structural engineers and Linda, a Structural Engineer with AGGO got back to me right away, first thing in the morning and was able to squeeze us in that very night. Linda was thoughtful and thorough. She careful looked over everything and even brought a large, bright light since it was after dark. She took her time, answered all of our questions, and gave us advice on other concerns and things to watch out for as well as reassuring us about things we didn't need to worry about in this situation. Even though she was probably working past her normal work hours to squeeze us in, nothing felt rushed or hasty."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Angelo and his crew were WONDERFUL. Every promise that AP Builder / Angelo made was met and exceeded.
1. Angelo gave me a anticipated completion date for the construction job: he finished before the completion date.  I even allocated additional time in the contract in order for his company to finish the job, but he didn't need it. He kept to his schedule and his promise.
2. Angelo gave me a cost estimate: he kept his promise on cost exactly. The only additional amounts of money spent were because I modified and changed a couple of construction points.
3. Angelo assured me that I would be happy with the workmanship: his promises were exceeded. The law office building addition turned out wonderful.
4. Communication with Angelo during construction: Angelo and his office was exceedingly responsive to my questions and requests. I always knew that when I called that I would either speak with him directly, receive a punctual call back from him, and he would agree to meet me at the construction site at an agreed time.
5. Angelo exceeded all of my expectations at a very reasonable cost. His company provides top quality work for a bargain price.  As a side note, Angelo caught and fixed a structural problem before it happened. The architect had under-estimated the strength needed for a main load beam, Angelo pointed out the flaw, and we fixed the problem before it was built into the structure.  He saved me from a HUGE problem down the road (when the roof would have buckled and bent).  Angelo's decades of experience cannot be understated.
I read another review of AP Builder wherein the author suggested that this company was a bit expensive. I strongly disagree. I would suggest instead that some people may have unrealistic expectations and want to cut corners and prices when instead they should be investing in quality work. 
If Angelo will accept your job, you should seriously consider using this guy.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
