Welcome to Santosusso Construction! Located in Philadelphia, PA. Covering the Tri-State area. We are licensed & insured, offering free estimates. We specialize in residential work including: New Construction, Total Gut Renovations, Remodels, Additions, Decks, Kitchen / Bath, Roofs,Concrete,Basement Dig-outs, Brick Fronts, Demo, Etc. I'm Steve Santosusso owner and operator of Santosusso Construction Inc. Santosusso Construction has been a licensed company since 1988, beginning in Los Angeles, California. After being involved in construction for a number of years, I attended and graduated from Pacific Coast Contractor's School. The curriculum included general knowledge of all trades, estimating, and OSHA laws. In 1993 I moved my company to the East Coast where I've been licensed in PA ever since. We are a small personal company with hands on attention to every project. Our employees are well trained and trust-worthy, as are all sub-contractors, whom I have used for many years. This combination of employees and sub-contractors provides a team atmosphere with quality work as our goal. Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SantosussoConstructionInc/

"Santosusso Construction did an amazing job on stepping in to save the day on a fix and flip project that was started by a previous construction company. It would have been completely understandable if Steve, the owner, would’ve opted out from doing the work. But instead, he jumped in, provided a fair price and brought only licensed and expert tradesmen onto the project to get the property sold. After experiencing his dedication to this project, and seeing first hand that he went above and beyond of what was expected, I hired him to renovate my home. Steve is very thorough, honest and was always ready to answer any questions that I had. He kept me updated daily regarding the progress of the construction and assured me that the renovation would be done on time. I would highly recommend Santosusso Construction over any other construction company in the Delaware Valley. And I will 100% be using them again in the future."

"My basement was to be repaired (plumbing) and remodeled. Bathroom in basement has no trap in shower floor, electric (recess) lights are all on one breaker (8), didn't finish walls trim is falling off, and it's not painted (never came back) and Floor is not leveled. Upstairs bathroom was a full gut job. They didn't replace any electrical wiring or housing, shower leaks and so does the shower glass door (uneven). They damaged my vanity (floating) pipes were to come out off wall, they left them coming out of floor and drilled holes in vanity to make it fit. Never painted bathroom (upstairs) left old door/window molding, never replace bathroom door slapped a ton of primer on door and molding. The sub pump in basement is not working properly water still comes in basement with heavy rain. All he did was put lipstick on a pig and lie about the replacement of electric and plumbing. He's work is far from professional and he doesn't take responsibility for any mess up from his crew (they steal) or himself. Hired him for the job in May and finished in November. They had to replace the ceiling in living room twice (pipeline) was never replaced. All he did was cover up and patchwork. George was been contacted several times a week until he changed his phone number. Upstairs bathroom toilet is connected to the hot water line as well."

Concrete Walls questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you or your contractor will spray the concrete form and framework with a release agent or oil to prevent sticking. This is common practice with wood and steel forms. For insulated concrete forms, the styrofoam formwork often remains in place after construction, so you don’t need to treat it beforehand. Foam concrete forms made out of melamine also may not need treatment beforehand, as the material naturally won’t stick to the concrete after it’s cured.

Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness, or around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick structure, before it becomes an urgent situation. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time to have a basement inspection to determine if a repair is necessary, depending on the soil conditions and structural specifics. Walls nearing 4 inches of bowing will require significant repairs. More than 6 inches of bowing usually means the wall will need replacing.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

Brick walls are typically more expensive than concrete walls due to higher material and labor costs. Brick wall costs can range from $10 to $45 per square foot, plus $70 to $110 per hour for labor. Meanwhile, concrete block walls usually cost $10 to $20 per square foot, depending on the material type. Labor for concrete tends to be less intensive and costly. Ultimately, concrete is often the more affordable choice, especially for larger projects.
