"We hired Zach to build and design a bathroom and laundry area in an unused space on our upper level. Zach did the drawings filed the necessary permits with New York City and provided us with the product list. Zach acted as the project manager, and worked very closely with the plumbers, electricians and contractor to ensure that all the details of the project were to his satisfaction. The project was completed in a timely manner and the finished product is just amazing. Zach’s vision of using teak as the predominant materia with minimalist accessories created a unique and beautiful room. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"I recently collaborated with AVSTEP for various home improvement projects, including roof repair, patio door replacement, electrical work, ceiling recess light installment, new flooring, curtain rack installation, water pipe replacement and ceiling replacement. I am extremely pleased with their work. AVSTEP's expertise in roof repair was evident as they efficiently addressed and explained the issues, providing me with confidence throughout the process. The patio door replacement was seamlessly executed, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Their electrical work adhered to the highest safety standards, and the installation of recessed lights showcased their modern design sensibility. The new flooring, curtain rack, and ceiling replacement projects were executed with precision, adding to the overall appeal of my home. AVSTEP's attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to quality make them my preferred contractor for future projects. I highly recommend AVSTEP to anyone seeking reliable and skilled professionals for their home renovations."

"While the project I needed Scarano Architect for did not end up being necessary (so I ultimately did not need to hire them), they were incredibly responsive and proactive with my potential needs, talked me through what they could provide me, and quickly gave me a quote. I would definitely reach out to them again if I ever do need an engineer on a project!"

"We had the pleasure of working with Evan, whom we found on Angie's List, and we couldn't be happier with the results. His expertise proved invaluable in converting our 2-bedroom apartment into a spacious and legally compliant 3-bedroom. He skillfully handled the innovative splitting of a large closet to create a new closet for the additional bedroom, ensuring that the modifications met all the necessary building codes and regulations. Throughout the entire project, Evan consistently displayed insightful guidance, proactive problem-solving, excellent communication skills, and remarkable responsiveness. Despite the challenges posed by our persnickety building architect, he remained positive and dedicated. We are immensely satisfied with his tireless efforts in not only transforming our apartment but also ensuring its legal compliance. We highly recommend Evan for his exceptional work. Angie's List truly connected us with an exceptional professional."

"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."

"Working with Esther and my account manager, Martha, was a real pleasure. Our informative conversations never felt rushed, and replies ro my emails were thoughtful and comprehensive--If occasionally somewhat delayed. The professional co-op set allowed my project to breeze through board approval. Highly recommend!"

"George is fantastic! He knows his stuff and made the building permit process a breeze. Working with him was smooth from start to finish. Totally worth it - especially considering how much hassle he saved me with the DOB. If you're looking for someone who's skilled and easy to work with, George is your guy."

"We hired Arch Calderon Inc to remodel a bathroom of our apartment in Jamaica Queens. We are very satisfied with the work this company did, and the way they manage the project while we were living in the apartment. Recommended!"
