Gaudioso Contracting

Our overall experience with Gaudioso contracting was great. Anthony the owner is very professional and cares that the work is completed to the customer's satisfaction. Allison the office manager always responds to phone calls and emails immediately. The quality of the work is excellent.

Initial consult - the project manager arrived on time and understood and answered all concerns. Everything was detailed in the contract. We arranged for a start date - everything went exactly as discussed and outlined. They were very professional and put us at ease. The work looks great. Workers were very professional and cleaned up daily. Project Manager was responsive and while not on site daily - there wasn't a need as the workers knew what they were doing - he kept in touch with his team and responded quickly to my questions. Allison at the office was awesome - in both responsiveness and follow up.

Very efficiently done, I am very satisfied with the service. I am very impressed with this company and the recommendation. They showed up on time, no hassles, and they cleaned up very thoroughly. My neighbors were even impressed by the work they did. Great, highest praises!

We had a short turnaround time and they were on time, on budget and we came out with a great floor at a very realistic price. They did renovations for us in the past and once again we were happy they came to our rescue quickly and efficiently. Other people in our building had damaged floors and kitchen and we recommended Gaudioso to them.

It went very good but in the middle of the project I had a family emergency that I was out of the country for a few weeks and Mr. Gaudioso was very understanding. On my returning he resumed working on the project without any added or hidden fees. Rating them 1 -10 on integrity, transparency, communication, etcetera I rate them 10. The workers were very courteous and polite. Mr. Gaudioso, Staff and workers were a pleasure to work with and thank you.

I would definitely use this company again for our next renovation. I highly recommend this company ! Thank you Anthony and company for taking care of us. This is definitely a company who will never take advantage of you.

The renovation went very well. The workers showed up, were professional & took care with the work. I would highly recommend Gaudioso Contracting..

Great. They did everything well and cleaned it up. Luis and Juan, the two men I dealt with, were friendly and professional. I don't know where they fall in the pricing category, as I usually do the work myself, and don't have experience hiring contractors.

Anthony's crew worked with my very tight schedule and accomplished most of the job while I was on vacation. I returned a day earlier than I had scheduled so had to stay with a friend for a couple of nights. Unfortunately the job was bigger than anticipated so they needed a bit more time than I had allotted. I appreciated the fact that they worked incredibly hard to get me back into my apartment for a timely return to work. The finished refurbishing and paint work turned out beautifully. Of course with work like this there is always residual dust from the scraping and dry wall removal, especially when you are unable to move furniture or clothes out of the work space. While I boxed all small objects and stored paintings etc. I had to leave a lot exposed and the crew covered furnishings, including books and closet contents with plastic so there was as little dust as possible. They also returned to do additional "missed spots" cleaning when I requested. Having returned from vacation and on a tight deadline to return to work before the job was finished I got hysterical when I realized how much cleaning I needed to do myself because I was unable to put everything away. Luis handled my meltdown with understanding and diplomacy and sent the crew back to help as much as possible. Because of my tight schedule and the short lead time I had given to the firm, the closet doors took a bit longer to complete and install. However, the workmanship was superb and the guys who installed were thoughtful and cleaned up their work at the end of each day. When the painting crew returned to finish the exposed and damaged wood flooring under the old metal door tracks they did a beautiful job of re-finishing and matching the stain to the existing flooring. Overall, despite my own hysterics at the enormity of what had been undertaken in such a short time and how much "unpacking" I had to do on my return from vacation and return to work, everything looks gorgeous and has beautifully set the stage for my new furnishings as part of the general overhaul of my apartment. I could not have asked for a better outcome and for a better company to do the work. Luis, who oversaw the project handled my requests via text and calls for updates and photos while i was away with understanding and promptly. Allison, in the office, kept me apprised of changes and accepted my adjustment to the billing schedule based on my being out of the country when most checks were due. Gaudioso Contracting is a great company to work with and I am so happy with the outcome of their work. Thank you everyone for all your beautiful work. Susanne

Before renovation, our contractor Luis and his team, installed plastic walls with zippers to minimize the spread of dust and added floor protection. At the end of each working day, they always made sure to clean up after themselves and organized their tools and supplies in one section of the room. The crew was always professional and courteous. It was nice to see the room open up every day. After about 8 weeks we finally have a beautiful kitchen that we can share with our families and friends!

Anthony came for an estimate while I was finishing the demolishing by myself. He was punctual and professional until he saw the bathroom at the moment. He started asking questions not related to the job that needs to be done. "who did the demolition", "what is the name of the building management company", etc. I tried to explain what I need to be done in the bathroom but he kept repeating "Do you have an idea how expensive is it?" " You have no clue how expensive it is". Then he started with his suggestions about electrical work. I tried to grab his attention on the work that needs to be done, but it seemed he did not want to listen. He kept saying "Expensive, expensive" Maybe he expected to meet somebody in a suit with a suitcase with money for a big project even though I explained what I need in my email. To me he sounded like he never read it. Anyway I kindly asked him to email me his offer. The offer was 2 to 3 times more than what I got from other companies. Maybe his company does excellent job but my initial meeting with Anthony did not go well at all.

They did a great job. It is a very small bathroom in a very old apartment building, with many pipes in walls and floors. Travis, the project manager, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, pleasant and very creative in his ideas to accommodate everything I wanted in a small space. The workers on the project were wonderful.

We couldn’t have asked for a better contractor than Gaudioso Contracting! My family purchased a two family home in Astoria in July of this year and then started the process of looking for a contractor. We reached out to a few contractors and were starting to get rather disheartened that even getting a comprehensive proposal and quote for getting the work done seemed to be a challenge. We found Gaudioso Contracting on Angie’s list and, based on the reviews, decided to give them a shot. We’re so glad that we did! Their work was beautifully executed, on time, and within the budget discussed. The entire team, from Anthony to Luis the project manager and Allison from their office staff were always prompt in their responses to any questions and very organized in how they went about their work. They did an absolutely beautiful job painting, refinishing floors, replacing the roof of our garage and a long list of other things that needed to be repaired, updated or installed. Two weeks into the work we sent them another long list of repairs etc. that we realized we wanted done and they took those on without hesitation. They also did a great job cleaning up after all the work was done which was very much appreciated. It really was about as stress free a process as a house renovation can be. We’ll be renovating our cellar very soon and will, without hesitation, be going with Gaudioso Contracting for this project. Happy to give them an A rating!

It is without hesitation that I give Gaudioso Contracting an A rating. The quality of the work was excellent and its customer service was impeccable – from Anthony to Luis (the project manager) to his crew to the office staff, particularly Allison. The work was completed within the anticipated timeline and budget. Both Anthony and Luis were very responsive to my questions and quickly addressed any concern I may have had during the process of renovating my kitchen and laundry room. I experienced a highly skilled, extremely professional and disciplined work crew who displayed pride in their work and caring for meeting my expectations as a client. They were flexible to revise work orders as I asked for changes in the initial proposal or came up with new ideas for the work. Not only do I highly recommend doing business with Gaudioso Contracting; I have re-engaged with the company to do additional work as we continue to renovate this old house we call home. I have found in Gaudioso a construction company that I can trust and rely on for good quality work and great care for its customers.

The work went very well and especially I appreciate the team manager Travis who was very knowledgeable and pleasant . The 2 workers were polite, skilled and helpful. In all the experience was great and I certainly will hire Gaudioso contracting again.

In a word - EXCELLENT! The best experience I've ever had with a contractor. Luis, the project manager, and the crew are terrific. They have a great work ethic, are careful and considerate, and very reliable and responsive. Luis is a GENIUS and can solve virtually any problem. Wilson is a MASTER when it comes to installing cabinets, and Jose is an ARTIST when it comes to installing tile and wood flooring. Anthony, the owner, is a dream to work with, as are his office staff. I was so pleased with the quality, professionalism and value, that I referred a friend and two neighbors. I highly recommend Gaudioso!

The job overall went well and we're really pleased with the result. Anthony's crew does first-rate work. The tile, plumbing, dropped ceiling and electrical all came our really well. They hired sub-contractors to re-glaze our tub (it looks great) and install custom glass for our tub (also great). The bathroom is brighter, more functional, more modern. The only negative: sometimes communication could have been better. This is my first bathroom remodel, and there were some things I didn't understand, and that caused some stress that in retrospect was unnecessary. But again, overall we're very pleased. Travis the project manager, Allison in the office and all the guys on the crew are professional and courteous.

All work was professionally done in a timely manner. A beautiful job in both cases, and it was a pleasure to work with Anthony and his team.

Anthony and his foreman Luis was very professional, with prompt quality workmanship and customer service. Luis was extremely accommodating to all requests, never saying no to any question or request. He communicated with me throughout the project, even though I was not on site (I live in Florida and this was on one of my investment properties in New York), sending me pictures of his progress along the way. Any issue I found was promptly addressed to my satisfaction. I will use them again in the future, and highly recommend them to any who wishes a good job done well.

I reached out to Anthony via Angie's list and we spoke over the phone multiple times regarding the small project i wanted to do for my kitchen. Although i never got to meet Anthony in person, he was the one that drafted the proposal for me. His foreman Luis was a pleasure to work with and he was there first thing in the morning on the start date. The project probably could of been completed within 2-3 days, however; the time frame Anthony gave me was 2 weeks and they took exactly 2 weeks to complete. There were some delays due to the supplier, but everything was still competed within the time frame. The installation went smoothly, but there was some damage on the cabinet which i told them about and they were able to touch it up. Overall i'm satisfied with the work and recommend Anthony's services!

Fantastic job, great work. This was a difficult job b/c it was subject to starts and stops. Job initially delayed because of my injury. Board approval was drawn out and difficult and required additional safeguards, under flooring, waterproofing. They are a one-stop shop-they have their own cabinet manufacturer they work with and several tile, stone yards. They also have a great architect, Beth Ann Kelly, who we worked with on design and board approval. We worked with a terrific foreman-Travis-who was always helpful and always responsive. Very collaborative process when we ran into difficulties or questions. They did what they said they were going to do and did it in a timely manner, and the quality of their work was outstanding. Willing to come back and fix any small punch list items. The kitchen really exceeded our expectations in terms of how utility and looks! We had a little dispute as to billing at the end of the job-due primarily to delays and changes, but this was worked out amicably. Do not hesitate to use these folks! They do excellent, excellent work!

If there were a rating higher than "A" I would give it to Gaudioso. Anthony Gaudioso and Travis our job boss, managed through the difficulties of working in an old house where you literally do not know what is behind any wall until you open it up. Many changes had to be made to the original work order a to accommodated the realities of the building and its structural issues. Anthony and Travis not only took these issues with grace and humor, but also produced a fully renovated part of our house that is safe, perfect and beautiful. But here's the most important reason I would give Gaudioso a grade higher than "A" if I could. We had a gas line issue with our new stove. This had nothing to do with Gaudioso and was caused by work done in the house 20 years ago. However, once the renovation was complete, Con Ed refused to turn on our stove gas line. Again, this was not caused by Gaudioso. Even though this was not Gaudioso's problem, they treated it as if it were their problem! Anthony, Travis, their plumbers and Mary in the office all continued to push through the Con Ed and DOB bureaucracies for months. They stayed on top of all the related sub-issues, meetings, appointments, tests, etc., and finally today, six months later, we have a working stove. If Gaudioso had walked away from our gas line problem, I don't know where we would be today. For sure, I would not be cooking dinner on my stove tonight. Thank you, Team Gaudioso! I would give you an A+ if I could.

My situation is unique in that as the owner, I live out of state but family members live in the house that underwent the project. I sought out 3 estimates 5 months prior to the start of the project. All 3 estimates were fairly close in price for what was included in each of the proposals. I chose Anthony because of the detail he put in the proposal. I was concerned that additional costs would be added in the other proposed projects since they were not specifically stated. Anthony told me he might be a bit higher as he only uses quality materials, specifically on the shower door ( the door he suggested is sturdy & top notch). Anthony came across as knowledgeable as well as approachable . The bathroom renovation was done on a bathroom in a house built in 1901. Anthony had warned me ahead of time that the main water pipe line was probably in an area of the bathroom which would effect the design of the bathroom. He was right and the space to work with was smaller than he expected when the bathroom was fully gutted. We had to go to plan B and eventually to plan C when the proposed shower was going to be smaller than we needed as we had some large family members. This took time and the 3 week project took close to 5 weeks. Of course, I wanted the project to end sooner but I could see that Nick (foreman) and his assistants were doing a quality job. Space was an issue- 2 men could work comfortably but no more! The house needed a good dusting upon completion of the project (not surprised) but the men made an earnest effort to clean up after themselves each day. In regard to the supplies, I picked out the bathroom cabinet with a mirror, tiles and light fixture while Anthony suggested the window,toilet, pedestal sink, faucets, shower heads etc. I was very pleased with the quality of all of the above equipment. Of course, there were a few bumps in the road but Nick was readily available and if I needed additional clarification, Anthony returned phone calls on a timely basis and when I asked him to stop by as we were moving on to plan C, he was very accommodating. He did not give the feeling that he was too busy for me. Anthony is a hands on owner. Once you sign the contract, you will here from him again. He also honors his word. One of his workers refinished my bathroom door & truthfully, it was the only part of the project I was dissatisfied with. Anthony said he would forward the door to a professional refinisher without additional cost. He kept his word and the door looks super! A major shoutout of appreciation goes to Mary who runs the office. She promptly returns emails, phone calls and if there is any question about an order, goes over line by line to make sure everything is correct- attentive to detail! I am saving my $$ for the second bathroom in my home & I will be using Gaudioso contracting in the future.

Absolute professionals. Top notch. Take responsibility for everything follow through. Amazing attention to detail. AND most importantly they finish the job without dragging out the end. Hire with confidence.

We hired Gaudioso Contracting to do our home renovation. Thework was completed with excellent craftsmanship and Anthony and his foreman Luis were very informative, professional, patient, and easy-going regarding...everything, all concerns and stress about the process (i.e. living in the house during the reno, time it took, etc.) They really were great! After some extensive research we decided to have Anthony from Gaudioso Contracting over for a consultation. As I stated prior, Anthony was very knowledgeable, easy-going, honest and expressed his knowledge in a way that any amateur could understand. He shared his vision, and listened intently to our thoughts and ideas for the renovation. We decided to have our first floor renovated with the a major kitchen, bathroom & living room remodel. The process was discussed with us in detail, and we understood that it would be uncomfortable for a couple of months so that we could be mentally prepared (in the grand scale of things) for the brief change. His workers were friendly,professional, and very clean considering they were here every day. No one slacked or became too comfortable. They made us feel as comfortable as possible during the whole process. Even more so when the work was done! Anthony made himself available to us whenever we called him (which was on a regular basis) to go over the process or any concerns we had. Bumps in the road are inevitable and to be expected. The manner in which they were attended to was superb, his pricing plan was clear and rational and we felt very confident with him and his staff. Communication was an A+. Most importantly the work and finished product was beyond what we had ever anticipated! Really! New hardwood floors, fully functional kitchen, a bathroom I don't want toleave...ever! A living room that you can just sink into and feel completely relaxed. Wonderful professional paint work all around, new moldings, everything was done top notch!!! It's a holiday everyday! We love! Thank you Anthony, Luis and the team of professionals. It truly was a pleasure! A+ overall. All the very best!
