We enjoyed every minute of this process and that's very rare when it comes to huge projects that can be filled with doubts and uncertainty. Tomas and his crew showed up everyday, even after a huge snowstorm and began working on our dream deck. Every measurement and cut is precise and the attention to details really can be felt throughout our new outdoor living space. Any new ideas or concerns were always met with a smile from Tomas and reassurance that this is going to be a beautiful deck. They were right. From the lighted stairs to the deck illuminating at night it's a picturesque sight. Thank you for making our home even more beautiful and treating our home with care during this process.

Sirhii and Nick were the ones that came gave a quote and later installed the seven steps. They did a great job installing the steps. They also repaired certain parts of the railing, by cutting and replacing steel pieces and by welding them. In other words they were equipped to handle the job, and also with the knowledge to do it. The second day Nick came and painted the whole thing. We are very happy that we had ETD do the work. Now for the cleanup......Nick came with a heavy duty vacuum cleaner to clean everything.

We chose AKO Builders to build our new composite deck and we could not be happier…read more Ark is extremely knowledgeable, professional, fair, and a real pleasure to work with. He stopped by every day to check on the progress and to go over details with us. He provided helpful insight into the design and choice of materials, particularly the rails and skirt. Mattas was the lead carpenter on our job and his carpentry skills are exceptional. He is meticulous, focused, and takes pride in his work. His partner, Arsen, was professional, conscientious, and hard working. They demolished and removed our old wood deck impressively neatly and swiftly. They worked through several days of extreme heat and beating sun and never slowed down. They were punctual, worked long days, cleaned up the jobsite before going home each evening, and completed the job sooner than we ever expected. This was the most pleasant experience that we have ever had with a contractor doing work on our home, and the deck came out even more beautiful than we could have hoped for. We strongly and highly recommend AKO Builders and will definitely work with them again when another home improvement project arises.

I had a quite negative experience with Gasper, the owner of this company, when they were working on…read moreour street during alternate side parking. While I was parked opposite an empty spot, the owner arrived but could not fit his truck into it so placed cones to prevent me from moving my vehicle back. Then, when I tried to repark, he addressed me dismissively about how "the spot doesn't belong to you" -- despite coning it off for himself -- while another man forced his truck into the middle of the (very long) spot. This ironic part of this was that there was enough space for both our vehicles, so the rudeness and assertion of dominance was completely unnecessary. What's perhaps worse than just the parking disagreement is that after posting this note, the owner found my phone number on the internet and sent a variety of text messages calling me names and other ad hominem attacks. This was also totally unnecessary. I cannot recommend working with this business because in case there's a disagreement of some sort, interacting with the owner could become genuinely frightening.

We had the pleasure of working with Gasper Nogara on our historic 1850 Greek Revival brownstone in…read moreJersey City & we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. T he project involved the installation of custom cast iron railings & a side fence, and the team at Piscopo Iron Works exceeded every expectation. From our initial consultation, it was clear that Gasper had a deep understanding of local Landmarks regulations and, more importantly, a genuine respect for preserving the historic integrity of our home. He thoughtfully guided us through design options that would complement the existing architecture while meeting modern safety standards. Every curve, scroll & detail was meticulously crafted, even the boot scrapers, all inspired by a 1938 photograph of the original ironwork that had been removed sometime in the 1960s. Bringing that history back to life was incredibly meaningful to us. The craftsmanship is exceptional. The ironwork is not only visually striking but also solid, substantial & beautifully constructed. It has dramatically enhanced the curb appeal of our brownstone, restoring a sense of period authenticity while elevating the overall presence of the home & the block. Neighbors & visitors consistently compliment how the new railings & fence have transformed the façade, adding both elegance & distinction. Throughout the entire process, Gasper communicated clearly & demonstrated professionalism at every stage. He welcomed us to visit his workshop to better understand the fabrication process & meet his team, which gave us even greater confidence in the work being done. The installation crew was punctual, respectful of our property & once the project was scheduled, the installation was completed on time. Gasper's commitment to quality & customer satisfaction was evident from start to finish. We've included photos documenting the full journey from before & after views, to workshop visits & final installation, along with some of the special details we particularly appreciated, such as the custom boot scrapers & the back plate for the flagpole holder. We are incredibly satisfied with the final result & highly recommend Piscopo Iron Works, especially for historic properties. Their expertise, craftsmanship & dedication to honoring architectural heritage are truly exceptional.

I looked online and came across My Dream Deck that was very highly recommend. They had so many positive reviews. I called and left a voice mail explaining we need a quote to have our deck rebuilt. A few days later we received a call from Pedro who came a few days later to survey the the rebuild. He discussed the materials that he would use, Trex and Pvc rails.

His crew came and did the demolition in no time and it was completed within a week. His crew were very professional. They started work by 8 AM. They cleaned up after they finished each day.
