We were named Contractor of the Year in 2017 by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). We have also won Angie's List Super Service award 8 years in a row in addition to having won Best of Houzz in both Design and Services 3 years running. We are a one-stop shop for kitchen, and bathroom remodeling projects.

"The scope of work (Replacement kitchen & two full baths + New Powder room) in a five bedroom twin residence constructed 1905 was extreme. Additionally, the house was not entirely vacated in process and also contained two professional music studios with assets worth over $350K. In a structure nearly 115 years old, surprises regarding demolition and reconstruction were inevitable. DR was consistently pro-active and on top of all challenges. Especially impressive was their extremely and beyond competitively priced fees for surprise electrical remediation, new sewer & water lines, foundation and floor leveling remediation, and overall cooperation, understanding, and partnership to make the entire renovation a very pleasing success. Additionally, DR's design counseling was spectacular. Lauren created beautiful solutions for seemingly impossible challenges that continue to please every day. Working with DR may appear to be more costly than trying to act as your own General Contractor -- which BTW I was prior too retirement -- but the end product is beyond more seamless and way beyond what can be accomplished by trying to coordinate one's own trades people. Go DR, and will definitely call you guys for any future projects we have. And BTW, our guests are always vocally impressed with our new kitchen and baths."

"I have nothing but good things to say about this company. I used them last year to get our driveway approved and it was the best decision ever! I was told by neighbors it would never get approved but after speaking with Sofia, I was put at total ease knowing that I was in good hands through this process. She was very professional and explained every step in full detail. She kept in constant communication as I never had to call or chase her down. Just a very pleasant experience from beginning to end which is rare in this era. I would definitely use them again in the future."

"Great work, highly recommended!! Apex renovated all of the bathrooms in our home down to the studs and completely redid them for us, one of which included moving a wall and layout change to expand. From beginning to end, Mike and his team were a pleasure to work with. We received detailed cost estimates that were accurate and competitive with other contractors we spoke to. The level of protection that was installed was top notch. We did not have any dust in areas outside of the work area and Mike and his team were always careful to clean and keep the protection clean which was fantastic. The quality of the work was excellent, I couldn’t find a single issue when work was complete. Mike did a great job communicating with us on decisions we had to make and the schedule for the work throughout the project. We love the result of our bathrooms and had a great experience working with Apex!"

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."

Remodel Design questions, answered by experts

Coffered ceilings can make a room look bigger, but they also run the risk of doing the opposite. Installation may require lowering the ceiling and creating a shorter ceiling height, while smaller panels and larger beams can create a busier textured look that creates the illusion of a smaller space. On the other hand, installing larger ceiling panels can create the illusion of more space.

Many homeowners view sunken living rooms as an outdated architectural feature, as they were prevalent in 1960s and 1970s styles of homes, but have since fallen out of favor. Some homeowners still enjoy the coziness of a sunken living room, but most find it to be an obsolete feature. It’s possible to fill in a sunken living room, but the cost typically tops $10,000.

You can gut and remodel one room at a time. Though the project will take longer overall, there are a few benefits. First, it limits disruptions and allows homeowners to maintain access to a portion of their home while it’s under construction. It also helps homeowners manage their budgets. Not everyone is ready to remodel the whole house at once, and it may be more feasible to slowly upgrade your home over time.

The main factors to consider when staging your home when selling are your budget, number of rooms to stage, and how long to keep the staged setup. Since home staging costs about $600 per room when using professional services, you may want to only stage the rooms that are most important to potential buyers, including the kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom. You should also consider which repairs or updates are necessary before staging your home, such as painting interior walls, carpet cleaning, and refinishing hardwood floors.

Increasing home value and return on investment (ROI) are two different things and it’s important to differentiate between the two. While a kitchen remodel will surely raise the value of the house, it may only have an ROI of around 50%. Homeowners looking to raise the value of their home for sale will have to consider how much they will recoup by the monetary investment in projects, as the ROI percentages may be lower or higher than the added value on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
