"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"Jacek submitted the least expensive bid for our work, including additional costs to cover the permit.  His team started on time and finished about 1100 sq. ft. of space including a bathroom, fitness room (with floor and wall padding), a media room, a playroom and 3 closets in about 8 weeks.  
Like any project of this size, we ran into a few things as we got going -- like moving furnace ducts, dryer vents and such.  Jacek worked with us on all of that to ensure we maximized our ceiling height and kept a clean look to the ceiling.  As the project got underway, I added a few things: including custom floor tile in the shower (rather than the initial planned tray), additional framing to support 2 large screen TVs, in-wall cable runs for media devices, computer network wiring and some significant additional trim work.  They accommodated all of it -- offering suggestions where it made sense.  I really appreciated the way they worked with me while the job was underway.  
Everything turned out great!  I wish Angie's List allowed me to post pictures!
My wife and I plan a kitchen renovation in a year.  Jacek will be first on my list when we're ready.  We are that happy with his work.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
