Contractors in Berkeley

“I’ve worked with lots of contractors and construction companies before but these guys are truly the best. Amazing quality and craftsmanship. Communication was perfect and I felt confident in trusting this team with my dream home!“

“Emanuel and Co. remodeled the bathroom in our tiny 1907 house. It's beautiful and will help us age-in-place in a neighborhood we love. His communication with customers, expertise, experience, and easy-going manner made the experience painless.“

“We are very happy to have chosen Tinka Construction to remodel our bathroom. The result is exceptional. George was always quick to respond to any of my texts and emails no matter what the news may be. Our bathroom needed a complete teardown to expanding one wall out an additional foot. His crew was outstanding whether it be reconstruction of a wall, plumbing, electrical, painting or cleanliness. And to complement George's crew, he uses highly skilled third-party specialty contractors, such as, for our custom shower install. What amaze us most was how the work was all done as seamless as possible by being creative and resourceful at solving any potential obstacles or issues. We are looking to hiring George and his crew again on another project.“

“I am evaluating options for my first major whole-house remodel, and as part of that convoluted quest, I have found the feedback from Berkeley Craftsmen to be both thoughtful and informative. Michael & Lauren have been generous with their time, as well as with authentic assessments and guidance. There is really no doubting either BCs commitment to supporting the most rational approaches to a given project/purpose, nor their commitment to client service. The experience was night and day compared to the “hey, sure we can do it, whatever your budget!” hustle of so many contractors. Bottom line, get in touch if you’re considering a high-touch, high quality local project!“

“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.“

“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“

“After a previous disastrous experience with another contractor...It was a great comfort to have Frasheski do a complete remodel of my kitchen and bathroom. 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.“

“Dave did an earthquake retrofit for our house. He walked us through everything and was very communicative. He took care of all of the permitting and city work.. His team was great and were easy to work with. Once the project got started it was a pretty quick process, with minimal disruption. The work looks high quality and it's nice to have the piece of mind that our home is better prepared sor a shake“

“I had the Nicholas Roofing team inspect my roof and quote a replacement. They were prompt to reply, reliable in showing up and communicating when they said they would, and offered a competitive quote and detailed quote and report on the state of my roof. They incorporated details I wanted done, such as adding insulation and sky lights to my roof, and made this conversation easy. Most importantly to me, they were honest about the level of work my roof needed, and thanks for their honesty, I learned my roof had a few more years in it before I needed to replace it - this is what I am looking for in a great contractor. Months later when I asked for a written assessment of their inspection for another use, they just emailed it over no questions asked, and didn't try to upsell me into a new inspection or something. I really appreciate this team as honest, reliable. Nicholas roofing will be my first quote when it's time to get my roof done.“

“Fantastic work! Erol was reliable, professional, and easy to work with. The fence is solid, beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. He handled our tricky grade and tied it seamlessly into the existing retaining wall. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Hamad has been taking care of our gardens for years, but he just redesigned our backyard and it’s awesome! He is so talented in design and so knowledgeable about plants. He’s a great listener, and we love the result.“
