Response from A P Builder & General Contractor LLC
Hello [Member Name Removed] We recently read your review in regards to the work we completed for you in 2014( as an insurance claim) and are absolutely surprised to hear about your dissatisfaction with us as your builder. We do remember your project quite well and so this review is quite surprising. Until now, we have never been informed of any concerns, problems, or issues you may have had; neither concerning your project during the time of completion or in the course of the year that has passed. Therefore we would love to speak to you directly to discuss this further. I apologize since I cannot respond to anything specifically since your review did not contain any specifics to represent your feelings. Again, we are greatly disappointed to have only been informed of this after a year of completion and would appreciate the opportunity to talk you further. Regards, Angelo Pecoraro A.P. Builder & General Contractor.

Did not use him (owner, Angelo, I believe), as our kitchen and the cabinets I wanted were bigger than the discount was for, but he did come out and give an estimate for ACTUAL job and his price was amazingly cheap for a kitchen remodel. I couldn't do the job right now as we were looking for a 2nd home and did not want a loan on the credit report. I will defintely call him again now that our home search has ended. I would like to update current home to get ready for market. The portfolio he showed of his work was amazing and he did beautiful work and he was a very pleasant man.

Hi Customer, I appreciate your inquiry for our services and am very sorry that you feel dissatisfied with our customer service. I did receive your voicemail that you left and did return your call the very next day. Unfortunately I was not able to get ahold of you and therefore had to leave a voicemail explaining that I just had a death of a close family member and would be in contact with you in a few days after I returned. I have tried to reach you again shortly after leaving this message but have not been able to get in touch with you. Please do contact our office if you are still interested and we will get back to you right away. Our Sincerest Apologies, Angelo Pecoraro A.P. Builders

Angelo was willing to do any of the items I had on my list. Some items required a skilled craftsman and some were just in need of a good handyman. Angelo is both. My biggest project involved work to the roof around the chimmey so no more moisture would get in to damage drywall. He did all repairs in a timely, professional manner. As soon as I can Angelo will be repairing the plaster in the living room and repainting.
Description of Work: Repair to roof around chimmey, repair and paint plaster and drywall. Hung drapery rods and levour blinds.

Angelo arrived a few minutes early and I went over what needed to be fixed. He shared his plans for the fix and I went to work for a few hours while he bought supplies from Home Depot and made the repairs. He fixed some leaky pipes from a kitchen demo and added cross bracing to our deck to alleviate a lateral wobble. I am very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal for 4 hours of handyman services for $99.00. Angelo fixed a leaky sink valve and cross braced the deck.

It was a difficult job because Angelo could not just start at one end and finish with the other. There were tasks that needed to be done before another could be begun, so it stretched out over about six weekis I think that he underestimated how long it would take to do some things, and thus, underpriced the job. I ended up having quite a bit of extra work done, and thus, spending more than I expected. I also was not terribly happy about some of the painting and cleanup which may have been the result of him underestimating the time to complete. The contractor things were done very well. The paining things not so much.
Description of Work: A whole series of repairs. Cracks in walls, painting basement floor, building shelves & adding storage in garage, painting, extending downspouts, changing pitch of land away from building to solve drainage issue...repair blacktop.

Very well and ahead of time schedule. In other words, he is very efficient.
Description of Work: General handyman work around the house in a condo. Work included Light carpentry and minor repairs. Angelo was very helpful and nice to work with.

I enjoyed asking questions about the vaious jobs and learning from him as well.

He did an excellent job on all these tasks. He also gave me some suggestions for other jobs, regarding which would require a professional to fix and which I could take care of myself.
Description of Work: He filled (spackled) holes in walls, evened out a door, scraped and replastered a wall, baseboard, and window sill damaged in the past by a leaky radiator, installed doorstops, and fixed hinges on a different door.

Angelo was a very nice person. Punctual. I purchased the paint and product needed to paint the garage. If a vendor is offering a deal then make it worth the vendors while. Angelo felt he was only going to be paid a small amount for all his work. I am sorry that is not my problem. I feel that the contractor would do the best job to showcase the company. I am happy I got the garage painted however professional it was not. I see all the A ratings. I am so sorry Angelo but you get a C- from me. Maybe it was an off day. He was confused because I had 2 vouchers and he only expected one. We had discussed that the garage would only take the day to complete with the 2 vouchers. . He did not remember that. My problem is that he was very messy. I spent the day cleaning the paint scrapings off the driveway and garage floor before they blew into the neighbors yard. Also he did a small drywall patch and the mess he made with that was huge. I mentioned the many paint spots on the garage floor and he said let them dry they should come right up. The stairwell landing was completely littered with the paint chips and dirt he did not want to clean those up. The excess paint was dropped into my garbage container and now it has paint all inside it. I asked him to finish painting a part of the garage he missed however he said that he did not take lunch so he was done 90 minutes early. Was not very pleased with me that I insisted. My point was that I purchased 2 4 hr vouchers then he should work 9 hrs and take an hour for lunch. No where in the voucher did it state that a lunch hr was to be given.

Hi Member, Thank you for you taking the time to write a review. I am very sorry that you were dissatisfied with the services I provided in regards to the painting of your garage. Upon inspecting the garage I did explain that the condition of the garage ( few molded spots, paint peeling and humidity in drywall) would not be ideal for just painting over and my recommendation was to remove the drywall since peeling would still occur. Your decision was to keep the drywall and just paint. I did go ahead and scrape the peeling paint and completed all agreed work in less than 8 hours. I do apologize if you felt that the area was not cleaned after appropriately and would have gladly returned to do so if I was made aware. You are correct that the 1 hour lunch is not indicated on the coupon, and will look into stating that but it has never been an issue prior. Nonetheless, I do greatly appreciate your feedback and hope that you would still consider us again for any contracting needs.

I've told the story in describing the work that was done.
Description of Work: The gentleman came out in advance to look at the work I wanted done and to determine what materials he would need. I was impressed by that. He created two long shelves for a closet and moved 4 hanging bars in it, blocked a hole in the fascia of my garage, tightened towel racks and installed handles for lifting a window, installed slide bolts on windows and doors, repaired other window locks, fixed a wooden strip (that had broken in a few places) next to my front door, and straighted the doors on a kitchen cabinet. Throughout, he did a very nice job, and was extremely pleasant. He volunteered to move heavy cartons, and was generally very helpful. He was very efficient, he worked very cleanly and carefully. I would definitely use him again.

AP Construction scheduled a meeting to look at the work that would be required. Within a few days he called me to say the work would be performed on 9/10/2012, and informed me the work would be completed in 1 day. AP sent 2 workers to complete the work on the scheduled day. They did an excellent job, cleaned up after themselves, and checked with me afterward to make sure everything was OK. I would highly recommend AP Construction.
Description of Work: Repaired Shed door, painted 12X10 shed including door and trim, painted 3 columns on front porch (1 coat primer, 2 coats paint), painted bow window trim.

I hired Angelo using an Angie's List coupon that entitled me to 8 hours of services. I had a long list of possible repair items to deal within the amount of time contracted for. Angelo got right to work on my top 3 list and fit other tasks in around drying times, etc. Angelo was thorough and professional, and pleasant company, too! I will definitely call Angelo the next time I need work done around the house.

I guess there was a misunderstanding when we last spoke. I do apoligize for that. The date I gave you to schedule your work was my first available date & when you said you would call me back to confirm, I guess I should have followed up with you when I didn't hear from you. I would be more than happy to schedule you for the work you need. I have tried to accomidate everyone who took advantage of my Big Deal Promotion, on a first come, first serve basis. But non the less if you can just give me a call I would be more than happy to accomidate your schedule & get what you need done right away for you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.-Angelo Pecoraro

Angelo is the greatest. I called him about the super deal for $99 because I wanted to be sure the work could be done for that price. Angelo was great on getting back to me a setting up an appointment to do the work. Angelo is a gentleman, perfectionist, and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He spent 3 hours doing this small area of my bay window. he made sure that everything was perfectly smooth and left me a sanding block to touch up tomorrow before I paint. As Angelo was going in and out of my front door he noticed my door was off a little. Before he left he took out the old screws and put in new ones because it was not right and it was bothering him. All I can say is this man is a god send and a pleasure to do business with. He even cleaned up afterwards and not only cleaned but everything was spot less. I will use Angelo for anything that I need around my house.

Very respectful and warned me that the driveway patch would not be a permanent fix but would probably only last a couple of years. I was aware of that but when the village repaves my street all that will be redone anyway. I would definitely use Angelo again as he was efficient with his time and went beyond my requests.
Description of Work: I had several small things that needed to be done - some replacement of dry rotted door sill, patching a spot in my driveway and checking my gutters for debris. Angelo replaced the wood - damage was more extensive than I'd thought,- with treated wood and sealed it. Patched the spot in the driveway as well as filling other cracks there and in my sidewalk. Checked the rear gutter I'd requested and even came back at a later date to check the front gutter and flush the debris from that one as well.

Called this company in the morn and the lady who answered the phone was very helpful and heard our story well.. We had a gas leak in the house that needed to be fixed by a professional immediately .. She said we will have someone over ASAP.. Angelo Pecoraro came to the location and was very professional .. very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly . He was very patient with the inspection... Very happy with the experience. He said will have this problem fixed as soon as possible. I would surely use this company again and recommend to my friends and family too :)
