Travetine Patio by GAPPSI We had Giuseppe do our patio, pool and walkway back 9 years ago with Nicolock pavers. His crew did a wonderful job and we loved their workmanship. Giuseppe himself designed the entire patio, pool stone work and walkway. Actually, we gave him full go ahead to do the design and we could not have been happier. Nine years later we moved into a brand new home and of course needed to put a patio and walkway in our backyard. Also, we decided to add a firepit. So in October 2009, we called Giuseppe to do the job. This time we used travertine and also let him design out the patio, walkway and firepit. No doubt about it —– another terrific job. We could not be any happier with the job his crew did. I would love to put a pool in and if we ever do we would have Giuseppe do the job. We would highly recommend Giuseppe and his crew to do any and all patios, walkways, firepits and pool stone work. Thanks Giuseppe for another great job!!!!!!

Thanks to Gappsi, we have our own mini-vacation destination right in our backyard. They designed a beautiful stone patio with multi-levels that included a dining area for entertaining and a wonderful sitting area that surrounds a large fire-pit. Our family and friends are constantly complimenting the space. We have definitely become the place for bbq’s and nights around the fire. We highly recommend this company due to their professionalism, quality of work and dependability. The owner is hands on and takes a special interest in all his projects. We will use them again and again.

GAPPSI…..THANKS FOR OUR AMAZING BACKYARD !!! When we started searching for the right people to handle our pool project, we new we wanted a design which was “distinctive” from all the rest. Incredibly, the second we saw our 3D design which Gappsi created, we immediately new we found the most amazing backyard we ever could have imagined. Our project turned into a double roman end pool with curved edges surrounded by a travertine patio, cultured stone walls with sheer descents, cabana, stoop and landscaping. We have never heard so many compliments on any other project we have done. We must applaud Giuseppe for running the most caring, efficient and professional company we have ever dealt wiith. While trying to decide which materials to be used around our pool, Giuseppe generously spent a lot of his own time traveling to a variety of his job sites to show us what the materials actually looked like in a reality setting which helped us tremendously. In addition to Giuseppe, we must also thank Kevin (the pool guy), Mike (project/masonry manager), Rolando (Landscape Designer) and Charles (Carpenter) for actually turning our 3D dream image into reality!!! We greatly appreciate the pride, time and effort everyone took to ensure that everything was to perfection, as well as, going out of their way to make sure we were happy and comfortable with all our decisions. To this day, its a great feeling to know that the company which has done work for you is still there for you if you needed anything at all. We will absolutely use Gappsi for all our future projects and continue to recommend them.

Buacore Residence My wife and I wanted a truly custom pool and patios. We didn’t want brick pavers. Giuseppe and Kevin came up with a wonderful design including the use of Travatine Pavers for a custom design two-tier patio. They created the shape of pool that we wanted including sheer descents. We were concerned about meeting the completion deadline due to the fact that we were having a party at our house and Gappsi guaranteed and met the deadline as promised. We love our pool and patios and appreciate the professionalism that Giuseppe and his staff showed to us. John & Patty Buacore

DeCastro Residence I can’t say enough positive things about Giuseppe and his staff. I had gotten several estimates for a pool surround, walkway, and stairs before going to Gappsi. After choosing a company to do the work, a neighbor had recommended Gappsi. My husband insisted we get an estimate from Gappsi before we finalize anything. After going to Gappsi and meeting with Giuseppe, I was so excited and started thinking how I was going to tell that other contractor I wasn’t using him after all! All my other estimates had been for Cambridge paving stones, which at the time, is what I thought I wanted. Giuseppe introduced my husband and I to travertine, and at first we weren’t interested. We insisted we knew what we wanted and we weren’t changing a thing, we just wanted an estimate. I thought his estimate would probably be higher than all my others and then I can just go home and proceed with the other company. But what a mistake that would of been ! We went with the travertine after all and that was the best decision we made. And although travertine costs more per sq. ft. than the pavers, Gappsi’s estimate was lower than all the previous estimates! Everybody at Gappsi is professional, polite and very accommodating. I wanted something changed after it was completed and they ripped it up and did it again, no problem. They added a retainer wall at no additional cost when they realized that it was needed and not figured into the original estimate. I chose individual stones to be placed in specific places and they did it, never complaining or acting annoyed with me at all. They truly are the nicest people I have ever had at my house. I liked them so much that I ordered my Loop- Loc cover from them, which their pool division installed. And their pool division opens and closes my pool each year. I strongly recommend Gappsi, you will be very pleased, there is no better.

Driveway and Pool Deck Had paving stones installed by Giusseppe and his crew over 10 years ago. From planning to completion, every detail of the project was handled with responsible and professional treatment by Giusseppe and his well-trained installation crew. The installation has performed over 10 years amd has not shown any defects or problems.

Giuseppe had done my sister’s patio, about 10 years ago, so when I was looking for a contractor for my own project I called him. Mike and Giusepee arrived and we went over the project details. Based on their questions to my wife and I, immediately I felt that they were not only professional and knowledgeable but also trustworthy. This was extremely important to me after hearing so many bad stories about various contractors. I was expecting a higher price than the others I had interviewed, (after all you get what you pay for), but that was not the case. Gappsi’s price was the lowest. There was so many styles and choices of stone, my wife and I were overhelmed, so we gave a few ideas to Giuseppe and told him to figure it out. Mike and his crew arrived each morning by 8am and worked all day. More than one neighbor commented to me “boy those guys are really working hard!” When they were finished, it was better than I could have hoped for. Driveway, Stoop, steps, walkway and a large patio were all spectacular and we were very happy. I recently hired another contractor to replace my windows. As I greeted him at the front door, he said to me, “Gappsi did your driveway and steps” I said yes”how did you know?” He replied that matching capstones was a trait, he had seen in many of Gappsi’s projects and that they do nice work. I said I know. Personally, I think it would be a mistake to consider a project like this and not even call Gappsi for an estimate

IT STILL LOOKS NEW When we met Guiseppe almost 7 years ago, I was struck by his attention to detail and willingness to listen to our ideas. Although we really were not quite sure what we wanted we knew what we didn’t want, and that was mediocre work. Gappsi transformed our home with a tastefully done walk and driveway which led to our double door entry, achieving a very grand look. We also challenged Guiseppe to incorporate an existing gunite pool to have new coping and a free form patio with multi level walks and landings. His workers were extremely skilled and polite. This is a first class company and we are thrilled with his talent and workmanship.

FANTASTIC. Gappsi recently completed our hardscape around our pool (replaced our pool coping w/ granite, installed travertine pavers, added walkways and built a retaining wall). We are absolutely delighted with the results. It was a pleasure working with Mike and his crew. They were very professional, knowledgeable and honest. Mike had some terrific ideas and suggestions. We were extremely impressed with their quality of work and attention to detail. We recommend them highly and plan to use them again next year for another project. Thanks Mike! Virginia & Frank

Backyard Resort… Giuseppe and his staff at Gappsi helped us to create our own vacation resort right in our backyard. The quality, attention to detail, and craftsmanship of his work was truly outstanding. He and his team were exceptionally professional and respectful as well as attentive to all of our needs and concerns. Gappsi installed a oversized free formed pool in our back yard, with spill over spas positioned on a second level patio built right next to the swimming pool. The crab orchard mini colonial wall used for the raised patio walls and light piers blend with the the naturale colors of the random pattern travertine as they where meant to be together. The pool patio height was built one step down from my existing paving stone patio in my back yard, and the hut tub area was built 3 steps up from the pool patio creating enough height for the water from the spillover to fall in to the pool and creating a very pleasant running water affect. Also 4 lions head wall sconces were installed, 2 on each side of the spa spillover. a jandy heater ,jandy salt chlorinator system, a polaris pool cleaner and a state of the art control system that runs all the pool equipment as well as the sprinkle system and the out door lights.after the installation of the back yard pool patio we went farther and had gappsi install a new driveway in the front of the house and 2 walk ways to the back yard one on each side of the house with nicolock stone ridge in oyster blend Gappsi also designed and installed the entire landscape from trees to flower and sod the entire front and back yards. from designing to the last question of the project we did not have to deal with anyone else but gappsi and the last thing that was done was the installation of the loop lock cover this fall . We would highly recommend Gappsi over and over again with no hesitation. Lou & Emilie Calixte, Lake Grove, NY
