"We engaged Gaudioso Construction to perform full-scale gut renovation of the first floor and kitchen remodel at our Forest Hills home. We could not have been happier with the quality of their workmanship and are confident in recommending Gaudioso for the most complicated projects. Gaudioso’s team of carpenters, plumbers, electricians, tilers, sheetrockers, and painters were all skilled and quite prideful of their craft. Gaudioso’s guys were not your typical get in and get out, cut corners at every turn kind of workers. They all worked methodically and meticulously spending the time where time needed to be spent. While pictures of the end product are always great, one needs to see a project from beginning to end to fully understand the skills needed to ensure your walls are straight, your pipes don’t clog, your electric doesn’t spark, your floors (and hence your cabinets) are level, and and every inch of your remodeled space feels exactly right. Gaudioso’s people have mastered those skills which is seen in the photos. The project was based on an architect’s drawings and was subject to inspection by the NYC buildings department. The project consisted of the following in order of complexity: - Bearing wall separating a terrible galley kitchen from the dining room was removed - A 20ft steel beam installed to support second floor of house (in place of bearing wall) - Steam heating pipes within the walls were re-routed to make way for a kitchen island - Waterlines and waste lines to the bathrooms above were all re-routed to make way for a higher ceiling and increased floor area - Existing kitchen plumbing completely removed, replaced and relocated - Electric in kitchen completely removed, replaced and brought to code (incl. upgraded breaker box) - Complete reframing & sheetrocking of the entire space - Non-bearing wall removed, ceiling, adjacent wall, and floor repaired and matched with existing - Cabinets, lighting fixtures, faucets and etc all installed - Floors removed, replaced and finshed. All of the items above and numerous other ancillary items were completed within the expected timeframe and without any matters of concern. On matters of preference, Gaudioso addressed in a way that told us they wanted us to be happy. One last thing, if you’ve read this far. Gaudioso took ownership of anything his people did touch or (what he believed) should have touched. During the course of the project there were two unexpected occurrences. In both these situations, most contractors would have thrown their hands up and said “that’s your problem”. Gaudioso, without being asked, scoped the occurrences into his realm of responsibility and fixed both issues at his own expense. Any project comes with its heartaches, especially one of this scale. It’s best to hire a contractor with a strong track record and people that are up to the task. Gaudioso is one you can rely on to get the job done without the typical contractor issues."

"Permit Architects was fantastic. Esther, George, and their team helped get our renovation plans approved by our building's co-op board and DOB. The process was smooth and fast. I highly recommend them and would definitely work with them again."

"We worked with Ariel of Arch Calderon to design an outdoor space for our bar, K-OSS Lounge. The space was challenging, because it needed to incorporate existing architecture that we could not alter. Ariel came up with creative solutions to our challenges with amazing results. We now have a beautiful, elegant oasis in the middle of an otherwise industrial block, and our customers love it – we’ve become the place to be on a Friday/Saturday night. We are now working with Arch Calderon for the renovation of our interior and are looking forward to the results."

"Brent is an exceptional knowledgeable architect, who is professional, and a pleasure to work with. I had the opportunity to work with Brent on multiple projects at my previous firm over the course of multiple years, and he consistently demonstrated a high level of competence, and attention to detail. He is a talented collaborative designer. Michael"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Architects can cater to both residential and commercial projects, tailoring their approach according to the specific sector regulatory requirements.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

An architect plans and designs new construction and alteration projects. They often provide sketches for homes, office buildings, shopping malls, and other structures.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.
