Our Team
Max Fedela | Project Manager
Max has been doing some type of construction work since he was old enough to walk. Starting out sweeping the floors every day at his grandfather’s custom cabinet shop when he was only knee high, he quickly gained the knowledge and yearning to be creative every day. Working with his hands runs in the family, with a machinist dad, florist mom, and interior designer sister. His hands-on skills were honed at Penn State learning Historic Preservation and Restoration, which was his profession for over 10 years. Max’s creativeness also caused him to travel all over the country, living in Virginia, Hawaii and Southern California, only to find him returning to his home town in the South Hills of Pittsburgh and living 100 yards from the house he grew up in. He has spent his time building furniture, creating artwork, renovating homes, running art galleries, buying and selling antiques and so much more. Recently finding a place within McQueen Building Company allows him to use his skills to the fullest and create new, amazing spaces for homeowners. When not renovating his own home, Max enjoys waking up early for flea markets and estate sales, spending time with his wife, Stephanie and his beagle, Hula, and making and enjoying proper Tiki cocktails.

Jimmy Antal | Carpenter
My Dad was a contractor so I grew up always working and learning the trade with him since I was 10yrs old. He always taught me to do things right the first time, that there is always room for improvement, and I would never stop learning new things on a daily basis. After high school I went into the trades and have loved it since. One thing that keeps me going is bringing the project to life and seeing how much the customer loves what I've done for them, especially when it is something custom that I, or the homeowner have designed. Doing things right and honest is the most important aspect to my job, and in life. I love working, but I also really enjoy living! Traveling, camping, riding mountain bikes, and motorcycles are my true passions in life. I've ridden all around the country on 2 wheels and will continue to try new things and go to new places.
