Here is what our customers are saying...

	"Ed Bernardo was originally referred to us by one of his subcontractors whom we had used before. After meeting with Ed and discussing our project ideas with him we felt very comfortable with both his expertise and our ability to work with him.  In retrospect, now that the project is finished, we certainly found that our instincts were correct.  At the beginning Ed helped by suggesting quality fixtures/bathroom furniture brands to consider.  He even gave up the better part of a day taking us to some of his trusted suppliers to help firm up ideas and make purchases.   Our remodel included the master bathroom and our guest bathroom. Ed was in and out of our attic rewiring for new electrical outlets, he installed a larger window and a glass block cutout into our master bathroom wall, added a pocket door to the closet, removed old tubs and installed new shower and tub/shower enclosures, did some extensive tile work, new cabinets with sinks, new paint and flooring for both bathrooms, all in one month’s time as originally quoted!   During the project Ed encountered some unexpected plumbing problems which he quickly resolved. These problems had been plaguing us off and on for a couple of years and had not been fixed correctly despite at least two visits by professional plumbers. It doesn’t sound like much when compared to the scope of the whole project, but this is just a testament to Ed’s pride in his work and his desire to do things right the first time. It also was a huge relief to us knowing that he had taken care of it.    We found Ed and his staff to be very polite, knowledgeable, reliable, efficient, and extremely conscientious. They cleaned up at the end of every day’s work, taking the stress out of life during construction. I trust them unequivocally in our home.  In the near future we will be remodeling our kitchen, and eagerly look forward to working with our friends at Bernardo Construction once again.    Ed, you have definitely met our expectations, and, in fact, have gone above and beyond!  Our bathrooms are the envy of the neighborhood!!  With sincere thanks and appreciation,   Joyce & Kelly C."

	"I am writing this letter of recommendation at the completion of my master bathroom remodel project.  I am very pleased with the outcome and the entire process went smoothly. You initially came to my home to take measurements, offer suggestions and followed through with an estimate just a few days later.  After listening to my needs to have an easy to clean bathroom with little maintenance to suit my busy lifestyle, you recommended a product called Swanstone, a solid surface for my bathroom shower walls and vanity.  You told me that I could see the product at El Cajon Plumbing and Bath and I was assisted there by Linda Perez who was extremely helpful to me, showing and advising me on products and styles that complimented each other, without breaking my budget.  I could not have picked such nice products out without help from both of you. The demolition of the bathroom began on schedule and was done without incident. At the end of everyday, the floor was swept-up and care was taken so as not to damage anything in the process.  After the demolition was complete, unfortunately, the sub-floor was found in very poor condition due to a leaking shower pan.  The sub-floor had to be re-built and that was accomplished during the next couple of days. I could see your craftsmanship in the wood work as you made the sub-floor very strong. Everyday, progress was made. The solid surfacing had a sleek, clean look, the shower doors fit perfectly, the vanity and sink are large and spacious, the floor tile grout lines are in appropriate places, the recessed medicine cabinet has a built-in feel, the rain shower head is luxurious and the color of the walls is a beautiful blue that makes the room have a “spa” feel to it.  You kept the project moving and on schedule and the entire project was completed within two weeks Even though you didn’t increase the size of the bathroom, somehow it feels so much larger.  You are craftsman and your work shows it. You did a professional job of installing each and every item from plumbing to cabinetry to electrical.  Your “can do” attitude was appreciated and your help with selection of products demonstrate your knowledge from years of experience. I am very pleased with my modern bathroom that even though it is small in size, it has everything I need.  I would recommend Bernardo Construction and Remodeling for any type of construction/remodeling work. Sincerely, Susan M."

	"My kitchen was hopelessly shabby, outdated, and just plain ugly.  After interviewing several contractors, I chose Bernardo Construction to do the work.  Although the configuration of the kitchen was preserved, my job involved removal of a ceiling soffit, drywall, an updated lighting system in the kitchen and adjacent family room, creation of an eating bar, installation of all new appliances, painting, and a little bit of flooring.  I was pleased to find Ed, the owner, and Keith to be absolutely dedicated to the project at hand.  Clearly, their objective was to get the job done in a timely manner and get it done perfectly according to my specifications.  The guys were always considerate and respectful of my space, and an easy flow of communication between us made the experience quite pleasant and go as smoothly as possible.  In retrospect, I can say that the price Ed quoted me was very reasonable.  He is sincere in trying to anticipate the job in total, possible glitches and all, and dislikes piling on additional costs after the initial quote, as most others seem to do.  As a matter of fact, Ed saved me thousands of dollars and serious delays in work by suggesting alternate and superior solutions to problems encountered.  I am completely satisfied with my beautiful new kitchen.  I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ed and company again.  They are the “good guys”!" Cicely R.

“Ed Bernardo handled the subs (I am an absentee owner-vacation home).  He was prompt, reliable, and got the job done as planned.  A very pleasant experience.  I am consulting with Ed regarding a major kitchen remodel.” Judy J.

“They were on time, personable, knowledgeable, thorough, quiet and resourceful.  We were very pleased with the quality of their work, and they were easy to have around the house.  Thanks guys!” Connie M.

	"Research pays off.  Equally as important as design concepts in any construction project is the selection of the contractor.  We were referred to Bernardo Construction by another contractor.  Attributes in a contractor that we look for are professionalism, honesty and attention to detail.  Setting and adhering to start and completion dates are important as well.  On each and every point, Bernardo Construction exceeded our expectations.  Mediocrity has no home at Bernardo Construction.  We will act as a referral (and future client) without reservation or hesitation." Mr. & Mrs. Gerald S.

	"I had a leaking roof that caused ceiling and wall damage in several rooms.  Ed found the leak, repaired it then dry walled and painted the ceiling and walls. He even noticed that my water heater was also leaking and repaired it.  Ed and all of his help were very professional.  I had been searching for several months for help finding the leak.  Ed found it the first day and within a week it was fixed and the walls were repaired and painted.  The price was very reasonable.  He was the only person I called who was willing to tackle this unusual job.  They were wonderful to have in my home- I would give them a key if necessary." Patricia S.

	"I was very impressed with Ed and his willingness to accommodate my schedule.  He accompanied his workers in the morning to explain what needed to be done before leaving for another job.  The electricians were a father/son team, journeyman and apprentice, who worked quickly and competently; I enjoyed observing their relationship.  I was very impressed with the respect the son showed his father and vice versa, which seems to be rare these days.  They cleaned everything up, including vacuuming.  I am totally satisfied with the job and will recommend Ed to my friends." Joe L.

	“Fantastic job!  Ed, you are a hard, honest worker!!” Alice M.

"We used Bernardo Construction to complete our major kitchen remodel in which we tore everything out, moved walls, extended a room and installed everything new from floor to ceiling.  There are always those unexpected things that come up during a remodel, but fortunately we quickly came to learn that Ed has seen it all, and is able to quickly come up solutions that were sometimes better than what the designers had in mind." "The crew is very meticulous about their work and they cleaned up everyday enabling us to live a somewhat normal life throughout the remodel.  We love our new bigger kitchen, and we are so pleased to have found such an honorable company that provides such high quality craftsmanship.  It is without hesitation that we recommend Bernardo Construction to our friends." Barbara B.

“Ed, the owner is great.  He is very accommodating and has lots of ideas to do things differently and save money.  He is very honest and that’s hard to find these days in the construction business.  All the work is quality.” Beverly L.

“Having just moved to San Diego from the Midwest and into a home, there was plenty of things that we wanted to have done to make it right for us.  Ed, the owner, and Keith his foreman were fantastic!  We had a list of many things and all got accomplished.  Everything was just great and questions about how to do stuff were addressed, (I) would definitely be a repeat customer!” Mary K.

“Ed was professional and very knowledgeable about he work that needed to be completed.  On the day of the work, Ed and the workers showed up on time.  Answered our questions as the work progressed.  The work area was well cleaned up upon completion of the work.  Bernardo Construction did a great job in my home.” Mr. & Mrs. Joe L.

“Great work!  Really liked the complete clean up!” Rosalynn T
