“We recently wrapped up our down-to-studs bathroom remodel with the Handyjew team, and we had an incredibly positive experience.Josh was always available to chat and delve into every minute detail and question that I wanted to discuss (there were a lot). As a result, we were able to put together a very clear, detailed, and fair estimate. In the end, the estimate was right on target, both from a cost and project time point of view.All of Josh's team members are very professional, considerate, approachable, and great at their craft. We've gotten lots of great compliments on the bathroom!I can't say enough good things about working with this team and will definitely look to them for future projects.Also as a side note to how great these people are - during the course of the project, our car got totaled. Josh generously offered one of his in the event we needed it for an emergency. Just a very thoughtful and nice crew.“

“Nicholas Roofing was great. I figure they are a good company to work for one of their roofer has been with them for 20+ years. They were very friendly, responsive to my requests and questions, and completed the project quickly and cleaned up their mess well. They even were very willing to allow me to pay half the cost on a 6 month payment plan which helped me immensely. Glad I gave them my business!“

I am very detail oriented and I am extremely pleased with his superb work. He is courteous, highly professional and fair in his pricing.I highly recommend Frasheski...you can trust him to follow through and complete the job successfully.“

“North Berkeley Design and Construction (NBDC) did an outstanding job transforming our basement into a comfortable living space. Their attention to detail is impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of the project was completed to the highest standards. The team uses only the best materials, which is reflected in the quality and durability of the final results. The pricing is fair, offering excellent value for the exceptional craftsmanship they deliver.
The owner is a fantastic person who clearly cares deeply about the work, taking care to design everything with our needs in mind, and adding a personal touch that makes the results even better. Our basement is now gorgeous, and I would not hesitate to hire them again for future projects.“

“We've worked with Jason for several projects, and he's always been patient, knowledgeable, professional, and easy-going with regards to which parts of the project we wanted to own, which parts we weren't sure of, etc. His team has always been top notch for us.He gave us white glove service on a new deck with custom railing and a garage tear-down and rebuild, including a new chunk of driveway and an artsy fence; and when we wanted to save a little money by managing a renovation project on our own, he helped us with that as well (drywalled and insulated the kitchen, rebuilt the front porch, replaced the back door, trimmed the eaves, and advised on a lot of odds and ends). Absolutely looking forward to working with him again for the next major project[s] as we figure them out.“

“Worked for Mike in the Mid-Eights. Was proud to work for a contractor with such a demand for perfection. Wish I still worked for him“

“We undertook a very extensive renovation of our house in El Cerrito, and met with Berkeley Craftsmen on the recommendation of our architect. We are so eternally grateful for the introduction, and for their availability in taking on our project. I truly can't express adequately what a wonderful job they did building our home. The care and attention to every little detail, the excellence of every aspect of the work, and above all the quick, clear and responsive communication, at every stage of the huge project, were all outstanding. Mark Butler has continued to follow up long after most of the crews have gone, personally coming by to finish small punch-list items, making sure we are 100% satisfied.This project was very extensive, like down to the studs, with new foundation and drainage elements, all new interiors with drywall, new floors, complete new plumbing and electrical system, new exterior, solar system, windows, doors, everything, and we are completely in love with everything BC and all their subcontractors did for us.I can't recommend them highly enough, truly an exceptional company. It restores one's faith that there are still true craftsmen in the world who take their jobs seriously, and believe in honesty and integrity.“

“The experience with Dan has been excellent, from filling out the good website form (which other contractors did not have), through several estimates, to admiring the finished deck and privacy fence. He was patient and helpful with our trying to figure out exactly what we wanted. When he and his talented carpenter started, they worked in perfect harmony - as well as with our electrician and cement guy. Details of each day's work were made clear, and the project progressed quickly. Dan is an interesting, kind, soft-spoken person and we discussed many different subjects. All in all, the deck-building was a real joy for us. We've already had several friends admire it. Susan & Roy“

“Feraru & Associates did a complete makeover of our old and worn out kitchen-- new floors, ceiling, cabinets, all appliances, new paint--while keeping the original design intact. Sorin was the lead person, very knowledgeable and with over 20 years of experience in the local Berkeley, El Cerrito, Albany area. He obviously knows what he's doing and inspires confidence. He made timely and appropriate suggestions and solutions as unexpected issues arose (as happens in any construction project). The crew worked every day making steady progress without any delays and cleaned up well after each day. The project was completed in a timely manner and we are very happy in our new kitchen. Highly recommended.“
