I can't express how happy we are with Bernie's work. He, Seth and Ben renovated 2 bathrooms for us and both came out beautifully. The first required removing a jacuzzi tub and tiling, removing the tile floor, replacing/moving ceiling lights and fans.Adding a zero entry walk-in shower with sliding glass doors. The second bathroom was the master. We removed a wall, moved the toilet into an existing closet and added a pocket door to the new water closet. Bernie built a bench in the shower and reinforced the wall to add safety rails. He suggested we continue the bathroom floor tile into the shower for the zero entry and we loved the idea. Bernie is somewhat of a perfectionist and spent quite a lot of time matching the stain and finish where he had to repair the floor where the previous wall was. In addition, he was kind enough to help with 2 wiring jobs in the bedrooms. Bernie discusses all issues that come up and has great suggestions for resolution. His original estimate is always accurate with no additional surprises. I highly recommend Bernie for whatever project you need done. I trust him, Seth and Ben to do the job well!
Bernie, Seth, and Benjamin did a great job renovating our 70's bathroom with damage to the sub-floor and adding beams to support the new walk-in shower. They removed the old popcorn ceiling and widened the 28" door to a standard size door. They installed new flooring, handicap grab bars and created a shower curtain rod that is strong enough to do pull ups on. Every obstacle that came up they were able to overcome it. If I had another bathroom to renovate they would be the team I would call.
Bernie and his incredible team just completed some fantastic work for us. They sanded, patched and painted and installed a modular closet system that is so sturdy and efficient our closets. They also removed old fixtures in my bathroom and installed new ones. Bernie and his team were so thoughtful about wearing masks indoor and taking off their shoes too! Great, honest work and communicated with us every step of the way. We are so pleased and can’t wait to call them back for future housework!
I had my bathroom remodeled by Bernie and Seth and I am very happy with their work. They took out a large window and tub and installed a smaller privacy window with a walk-in shower and bench. They took out the old narrow shower and built shelves for a linen closet area. They used my existing vanity but were able to raise its height to a more comfortable level. They tiled the shower, the bench and the floor. They did a great job!
Bernie can do everything! He recently renovated our master bath and guest bath. He retiled the shower and floor as well as installed new cabinets and fixtures. It turned out absolutely beautiful. He has such meticulous attention to detail and a great eye for design. In addition, he installed light fixtures, repaired damaged wood on our roof and various other repairs. Bernie is a very pleasant person to have in your home as well as honest and affordable. I would definitely recommend him!!
