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.

We feel very fortunate to have worked with Michael Butler and his team for our remodel in Oakland. This was a significant amount of work impacting almost every room of the house and we were absolutely delighted with their diligence, professionalism, communication, and overall workmanship. This was our 4th remodel in 3 years (with 4 different contractors) and Berkeley Craftsman was the best team hands down. We had a pretty tight window to have the work completed (don't we all) and their team finished our project on time and on budget, and gave us some great design advice along the way while finding cost-saving opportunities. Highly recommend!
