My interior design firm had the pleasure of partnering with Berkeley Craftsmen on a 5,000 square foot renovation - not only did they deliver on time and on budget, but they were a joy to work with! The team expertly project-managed every phase of the project with transparency and levity. True to their namesake, their craftsmanship is unparalleled - for the primary bathroom, when it looked like the grout lines weren't going to line up from the walls to the ceiling, they took 1/8" off of every cei

We hired Berkeley Craftsmen for a major remodel of a 1932 house, and they exceeded our expectations in every possible dimension. It is exceedingly rare to find all the qualities you want in a general contractor—top to bottom throughout an organization—but Berkeley Craftsmen delivered them all: exceptional competence and skill, absolute reliability and trustworthiness, meticulous attention to detail, and a genuinely delightful team to work with. They should really be called Berkeley Perfectionis

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 t

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

We are new homeowners and hired Berkeley Craftsmen to do the first set of big projects on our house and had a fantastic experience. They replaced a deck, installed fencing, removed an internal chimney that affected 3 levels of the house including our tenant’s unit on the first level, and completed a number of smaller interior projects (e.g., closed off some walls to create a bonus room, installed an attic stairway and storage space, refinished wood flooring). Throughout the entire process, the

They built me the studio I had always wanted right in my backyard. Mark Butler and his crew were truly amazing and we came in on target and on time. I got my house earthquake retrofitted and my basement made more spacious at the same time--due to concrete work we needed to make a foundation for my new studio. This this was a comprehensive multi-step project and Mark lead this extremely well from beginning to end. They help me save tons of money by connecting me to an architect that was in her

We can’t say enough good things about Berkeley Craftsmen. They’ve done three projects for us over the past four years; the most recent one was a kitchen remodel in spring 2018. We’re still in awe over how beautiful our new kitchen looks and how functional it is. To say it exceeds our expectations is an understatement. We can’t thank Berkeley Craftsmen enough. They are extremely careful, conscientious, organized, meticulous with details and friendly as well. There isn’t another contractor we
