"We got AFM from Angie's list and are very happy that we found him. Anthony was professional and obviously knowledgeable. He assessed the problem and made very reasonable recommendations for a reasonable price. If we need an engineer or house inspector again, he will be our first call."

"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."

"Ryan was fantastic! We wanted a large pergola built in our bar’s backyard. Ryan helped us design it and did the back-work to make sure we got what we wanted, while constructing it legally and safely. He also helped us get all the features we wanted in a way that was the most cost effective. We will go with Ryan anytime we need an architect from here on out!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Yes, combining an architectural service project with other upgrades in your Queens home is a smart strategy. For example, renovating a kitchen alongside electrical and plumbing work allows for shared demolition and streamlined inspections. Similarly, pairing a roof replacement with insulation or solar panel installation means only one period of roof opening. This approach reduces overall project duration and can lead to contractor discounts.

Helpful?

For architectural service projects in Queens, prioritize safety by addressing lead paint in pre-1978 homes and adhering to NYC building codes for stair guardrails. Install window guards as required by Local Law 55. For pets, consider designing secure yard fencing at least six feet high and using durable, low-VOC materials for better indoor air quality. Rounded corners on countertops also enhance child safety.

Helpful?

For architectural service projects in NY, a seasonal routine is key. In spring, inspect your roof and foundation for damage from winter's freeze-thaw cycles. In fall, prepare for cold weather by testing the heating system and weatherproofing windows and doors. During winter, monitor for ice dams and protect pipes from freezing. This proactive approach helps maintain the integrity of your home's new structures and systems.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake during architectural service projects in Queens is skipping required DOB permits for structural changes. Homeowners also overlook local zoning, such as setback requirements in R3-2 or R4 zones, and restrictions in historic districts. Another common error is underestimating FEMA flood map requirements, which mandate elevated utilities in many areas, leading to costly redesigns and project delays if not addressed early.

Helpful?

The humid subtropical climate in Queens, NY, heavily influences architectural service projects. Designs must account for heavy precipitation, potential hurricane-force winds, and freeze-thaw cycles. This means specifying robust waterproofing, wind-resistant materials, and foundations designed for soil expansion. Roofs require enhanced snow load calculations, while high humidity necessitates proper ventilation systems to prevent moisture issues and ensure long-term structural integrity.
