Customers say: Super punctual

"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

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
