I have had the pleasure of working a together with Mr. Aaron Handelman over the last seven years. Throughout every project, I have witnessed his true passion for Manhattan architecture and history.

Mr. Handelman and I gained experience together in Harlem and the Upper West Side, focusing on Brownstones and Townhouses. His constant enthusiasm and energy make him a wonderful project manager and construction team leader.

He is honest and focused, and his knowledge of the latest materials and methods is unparalleled.

Mr. Handelman’s background in tile and granite also give him a unique perspective on restoration and modern design.

In addition, his passion for real estate has always been a perfect combo to go along with my skills as a broker.

AMH Construction is a one stop shop and they never overlook any details.
The company has helped my clients with wood restoration, kitchens, bathrooms, tile and stone, electrical, plumbing, facades, roofs and interior designs. From the gut renovation to the new construction, the investors have always been thrilled.

It is an honor and privilege to recommend AMH Construction of NY.

Sincerely,

William Bluett

Ulysses is the designer that created and maintains the site, and it was a huge honor when he decided to follow the progress of our Gut Rehab of 116 West 132nd Street, in 2011.

We finished the project in March 2012, and Ulysses was kind enough to feature AMH Construction on HarlemBespoke.com:

Thank you to Ulysses, and keep up the amazing work!

This question deserves one simple answer, polyurethane foam insulations, when properly installed, outperform in a very “real world way” any other traditional insulation product on the market.

There are so many insulation products to choose from, all of which are quoted in terms of R-value. However, what we are never taught is that the term R-value is a misunderstood concept and a poor indication of the true performance of the insulating abilities of the product. The fact is R-value is determined based on very controlled experimental conditions where real life forces are intentionally neglected to be factored in.

The two most distorting of these forces are convection (air-flow) and water vapor (moisture), both which greatly reduce the potential effects of the insulation product. With breezy days, while running exhaust systems in the house, and running the central air-conditioning system the majority of homes are experiencing states of pressurization or depressurization. The majority of insulation products have their experimentally determined R-values reduced down into fractions…even quite possibly to zero with the introduction of these two forces.

Open Cell and Closed Cell Polyurethane foam will greatly outperform the competing insulations by reducing air flow and the transfer of water vapor. Products such as closed cell foam will even eliminate these forces altogether.

The demand for traditional products such as fiberglass, cellulose, Styrofoam, rockwool, among many others, is quickly diminishing as these facts are discovered. In fact, building code in some counties around the nation are already adopting such strict energy efficiency policies that it is almost impossible to meet energy code if not using products such as closed cell polyurethane foam.

At AMH Construction, we are staying ahead of the curve! See spray foam in action on our latest project… Spray Foam Insulation Rye House
