A.O.K. is your neighborhood
Contractor. Your home is our home. We work by one
standard “To produce quality year after year”. Below find out
how it all started...
I have lived in Orange and Sullivan Counties for more then 40
years. I now reside in Wurtsboro, N.Y. with my wonderful wife
Maryanne, our son Vincent and can't forget Kodi and Teddy our "Goldens"
It all started In 1987 when I owned an operated a small business
inside a gym in Sullivan County. My business included selling
clothing and health food related items. In addition I also
worked for the owners of the Gym as a personal trainer for new
members along with some private training sessions. I did this
for a couple of years and in 1989 one of the people I was
training mentioned he was in construction and ran a framing crew
in Rockland County. I told him as a kid I worked mostly doing
labor related things around construction and new my way around a
job site... On the spot he offered me a job to learn about
framing. After a day of thinking about it I took him up on his
offer so I could earn some extra money. I did this for about a
month and it felt great. So a short time later I decided to
leave the gym, & pursue the construction. I work framing homes,
additions and all types of things for a short time while
traveling form Sullivan to Rockland County. I moved to Pine Bush
a short time later to ease the commute and worked with this
company for a year and a half. During this time I also picked up
some side work and as time went on people I would work for would
say to me, "it’s so hard to find a dependable contractor and you
should do this full time!!" Well we all know the customer is
always right so I took a chance and in 1991, A.O.K.
was born.
The name of my business has an interesting origin. The A.O.K.
are Initials & not the catchy phrase A - OK as most people first
think. The letter A is from my Grandfather name Alexander, the O
is from my then wife’s Grandfather Otto and the K is from my
last name Karpinsky. A short time later I added the logo of the
hand as it was a good fit.
Well it’s been 19 years now and A.O.K. has served more then
2,500 customers and as a result we have become a trusted name
among home and business owners. I look forward to serving more
of my neighbors in the Hudson Valley for many more years to
come!!!
Thank you All, Greg D. Karpinsky, President |
