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!!

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!

A backed up sewer wreaked havoc in the lower level bathroom. The mediation company tore it apart to fix the water and sewage damage we needed help to rebuild it.Better Call Bernie came to the rescue. He examined the remains of the bathroom and created a plan. He had other jobs booked through March but worked this one in finishing in a month.Beautiful work.He was an easy to discuss things with and helpful with ideas.I highly recommend his work and work ethic.

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!

Bernie and Seth are the best!! They fixed some rotted wooden siding, replaced drip caps, replaced insulation in the crawl space, and replaced gables on the front porch. The work was thorough and Seth was very kind and willing to answer my questions. Will absolutely be reaching out again in the future, cant recommend highly enough!

Bernie did an excellent job with several small jobs I needed done. The jobs included replace ceiling fan, replace smoke detector, seal storage room walls, repair storage room door that was sticking, repair floor transition, move shower curtain rod higher, replace insulation on front door and fix front door leaning to side. I received a detailed quote within two days of the consult visit. The quote was reasonable and included all supplies. Communication was excellent during the job. Bernie offered advice regarding the jobs that I really appreciated. I am recommending Bernie to my neighbors and will use him again.

I have had Bernie do several projects around our house to prepare it to go on the market. He has done a thorough job on everything and the latest was painting the interior of our home. It is the absolute best paint job I have ever had. Not a drop of paint or stray line anywhere to be found! He is trustworthy and cares about doing things right and makes sure his customers are happy. You cant ask for more than that. I will be using him again in the future.

Bernie repaired our garage frame, front door railings and did indoor repairs and put up curtain rods. The work was very professional and reasonably priced. He and his son are also very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him for indoor and outdoor jobs at your home.

Bernie added an entire door to the a stairwell in our home. He had to build out a wall and match existing finishings/style - and he did an amazing job. It looks like the door has always been there. Bernie is genuinely honest and concerned with doing excellent work (as well as being highly talented). I am happy to recommend Bernie for any home repairs, renovations or other work!

We called Bernie for work done to upgrade and repair a hall bathroom. Bernie was easy to work with, was timely and flexible with scheduling when we had some delays (due to materials), and did a great job. We will definitely call on him again!

Im glad I called Bernie. Its become increasingly difficult to find a good, reasonable home repair person. I contacted about a half dozen vendors to repair rotted out wood and trim on my home. Some were referrals from reputable vendors like Lowes and Home Depot. If by chance they did come out, they took notes, shook hands and said they would be in touch with an estimate. And that was the last I heard of them. Then I found Bernie. Hes very pleasant, he listened, took notes, took pictures, and promptly sent a reasonable estimate. I accepted it. Then he did everything he said he was going to do with no bumps in the road. Along the way, I added some things to the original job. I was comfortable telling him to just add on to the original estimate because I could tell he cared about his work and would be fair. And he was. He was thorough, his workmanship was superior -- when two pieces of wood meet, well, he made sure there was no space between them. In fact, you cant really tell where they were spliced together. I was impressed. I offer him my highest recommendation.

Bernie and his team did a great job tiling our complicated backsplash and repairing some fairly extensive flood damage. We couldnt be happier with the results or their professionalism.

Bernie, Seth, and Benjamin did a great job renovating our 70s 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.
