Do recommend Bernal Builders. Manuel and Vanessa are great in communicating and Providing the info necessary to get a project going. Them and the crew built us an ADU and it turned out great.

I’ve worked with Bernal Builders on multiple flip remodels, and they consistently deliver great results. From demo to final finishes, their team is organized, responsive, and detail oriented.
