Richard Wall is a kind, decent man and that means a lot to me. Competence is equally important and…read morehis workers have proven to be exceptional. Superior Exteriors did the roof, garage, and windows for the 2nd and 3rd floor of my house. I had a terrible leak that started from a 3rd floor bathroom window. The leak went down the north side of the house. Superior Exteriors tore out the rotted wood under the stucco that was damaged by the leak. They replaced the rotted wood. Other companies had given estimates but did not understand that the 3rd floor window was causing the problem. I have recommended Superior Exteriors to my daughter for new windows, my neighbor who got a new roof and my sister who also had work done on her roof. I value customer service and I appreciate people who treat you like your project is important. Richard Walls has that gift and he is professional. I recommend Superior Exteriors.

We highly recommend Custom One Builders and should the need ever arise again, we will definitely head straight to Custom One Builders.

We are still repairing the work that was messed up. Currently, I found the siding above the addition was done using the old siding that was in place. it has warped beyond repair. They attempted to backfill with tree branches and other debris before pouring concrete. Did not pass inspection, do over and still we found hollow spots(accidentally) in the garage flooring. Did not angle the floor to drain outside. The garage door on one (2 door) side smashes into the drywall. Did not see this until the warranty was up. They came back to rip out the old cement and redo as there was not enough flooring to reach the windows and nearly 12" to step into or out of the service door. Still too low. Even after that we are still finding hollow spots. Doorknobs put on backwards. I.E. need a key to get out of a bedroom? Paint washes off. Disconnected electrical to outside outlet for Christmas lights found out later in the year. The dimensions for the garage is 6" short than the plans. Crazy large gas curb was put in that had to be redone. Yelp! I'm sure this was their first time doing this type of work.

If you're looking for a GC who can drag you into a lawsuit and leave your commercial project with…read morecostly delays, construction defects, and potential safety issues, then Angelo may be the contractor for you. We signed a legal contract with Angelo in May and provided fully approved architectural, engineering, and interior construction plans for our commercial project. Before construction began, we met multiple times with engineers, designers, and Angelo to review the project. He stated that he had no concerns and promised completion by August. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning of a long and expensive ordeal. In addition to paying all progress payments on time, we prepaid over $30,000 for equipment that was not included in the original contract because Angelo requested the funds to help speed up construction. We provided complete equipment specifications, including manufacturers, models, supplier quotes, and contact information. Throughout the project, Angelo repeatedly reported progress and demanded additional payments. However, when we verified the status with local authorities, we discovered that certain inspections and approvals had not been completed as represented. He also threatened to stop work unless we paid for portions of the project that were not yet completed. To make matters worse, when the equipment arrived, we discovered that he had changed the manufacturers and models without our authorization. This created additional delays and complications that could have been avoided. As construction continued, numerous problems surfaced, including issues with drywall, electrical work, plumbing, and other portions of the project. Despite repeated concerns, Angelo consistently refused to acknowledge responsibility for these mistakes. Although Angelo informed us in November that the project was complete, we later discovered major deficiencies that should never have been overlooked on a commercial build. Required gas lines for kitchen equipment had not been installed, plumbing work required corrections, and improper electrical installation caused some of our equipment to lose manufacturer warranty coverage. We were forced to hire other contractors to repair and complete the work at additional expense. As a result, the project was not truly completed until early January--approximately five months later than originally promised. Because of the delays, construction defects, corrective work, and financial losses caused by these issues, we did not agree to pay the final $18,000 in full. Instead, we sought to offset a small portion of the damages we incurred, which far exceeded that amount. In response, Angelo filed a lawsuit claiming we owed him $27,000 and placed a mechanic's lien on our property. We fulfilled our obligations, paid on time, cooperated throughout the project, and even advanced significant additional funds to help move construction forward. In return, we experienced delays, unauthorized equipment substitutions, construction defects, costly repairs, and ongoing legal disputes. This review reflects our personal experience with this commercial project and is shared to help other property owners make a more informed decision when selecting a contractor.

When this company took up the old floor, they told me that I had to hire someone to replace the subflooring before the tile could be installed. I went to Angi and found Angelo. I told him what I needed and that I needed it done within two weeks. He came out and gave me what I feel was very reasonable price that included materials and labor. Later he called and told me that the job would only take one day and scheduled it within one week. His workers arrived at 8:00 in the morning and did a beautiful job with the floor. They were very polite to me, my daughter and son in law. They cleaned up after the job and removed all of the debris. I would hire Angelo again and recommend A.P. Builders to any of my real estate clients and closest friends. It was a very good experience.

After working with this contractor multiple times and referring customers to them, I hired the…read morecompany for a bathroom remodel based on another contractor's quote, which they agreed to match. Due to a family emergency, the project needed to begin with urgency. Over the course of more than a month, there was constant back-and-forth communication, and the shower floor pitch was installed incorrectly twice. I also clearly communicated that my flooring contractor would address the trim. Despite this, I received a text message stating they intended to stop work mid-project, leaving me with a broken and unfinished shower floor. This situation has been extremely frustrating, as I am now forced to find and coordinate a new contractor to fix and complete the work. Please use caution when considering this company. In hindsight, I regret not going with my original contractor.
