Was looking for a reasonable granite fabricator to cover my DYI project, found it in Applegate's Custom Countertops! Fast and professional thanks Lyle, completely satisfied with work!

Danny R.

For years I lived with my large white tile countertops with inch wide grout...which went all the way up to the cabinets. Now, I have beautiful granite countertops with subway tile backsplash ( very little grout and a lovely antique white that gleams)...I'm in heaven. Lyle and his people were all so pleasant, friendly, informative and cooperative. We also took Lyle's advice on a plumber and were very pleased. Lyle recommened a trip to the company that they get their granite from and we were glad we went. Not only does it look so different from the look on computer, but they give you samples that you can match up in person!! I've included two pictures....isn't it sooo pretty! Would definitely use this group again!

Almost done.... back splash is on its way! I'm loving it!

Love Applegate! I couldn't find anyone to return my calls in Big Bear... Finally Applegate to the rescue! I highly recommend.

Kitchen Counters from Applegate's!

We remodeled our kitchen and needed countertop fabrication and installation. Applegate's was amazing! Professional, polite, and followed through. Lyle and the crew went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the materials and the installation. Very reasonably priced as well. I would recommend Applegate's to anyone looking for quality countertops and great customer service. Thank you Lyle!!

After - A kitchen featuring green cabinetry, a wooden island with three stools, stainless steel refrigerator, microwave, and stove, with holiday decorations on top.

This review is long overdue but Lyle and his crew removed our old upper cabinets, removed our old tile countertops, and installed new butcher block countertops. Their work has held up for well over a year now and we were very happy with their professional input, communication, and quality of their work. Highly recommend.

Lyle and his crew were nothing short of amazing. They were so personable and friendly through the entire process of getting us new countertops for our kitchen and bathrooms. They did it for a great price and the work is beautiful! We are diy people, but this wasn't something we could do ourselves and they did such an incredible job. They were on time with everything, kept me in the loop the whole time, and made the whole experience wonderful. I would highly recommend them to anyone wh

my old kitchen and tile worktop before Lyle did his magic!

5 stars doesn't seem enough for the wonderful experience and job given by Lyle of Applegates. I had another quote from a vendor recommended to me by my realtor as I was new to the area of Lake Arrowhead and did not know anyone....I was totally astounded by the outrageous quote I was given and decided to trawl Yelp for a vendor. Thank God I did!!! I came across Applegates, read the reviews and decided to give them a call. Lyle is a true professional, an honest man who cares about giving his customer a fair and true quote for high quality work. He responded to my initial call promptly and came to my home asap to go over what I needed with a great sample choice for me to choose from. He pre demo'd my kitchen counter tops, for my painters and then returned once they had finished to install my new counters. My kitchen is transformed from the 1980's to a modern sleek kitchen of today. I could not be happier and highly recommend Lyle to anyone wanting a true professional, who takes pride in their work....and to top it all he's just a great guy! I will definitely be using Applegates for all my future counter and tile projects. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It's been 8 years and we are still repairing issues from Mike Bergstrom. A major leak on Christmas…read moreEve 2025. A major electrical shortage February 2026. Both separate issues but both related to the work done by Mike Bergstrom. The leaks are where he added on to our existing home, and we choose to avoid issues to not just add to the roof but completely redo the whole thing! We invested the extra money ironically hoping to have a worry free addition using all new. The first electrical issue was related to the fire detector in the room addition being installed incorrectly, so it kept going off. The second was a short in the new wiring in the kitchen addition done by Mike. When hired Mike talked a good sales pitch he promised to always stand by his work. We've tried to seek his help over the last 8 years with numerous issues undeniably related to the addition and he will not repair his work. When called a gal named Rhonda answers.... Promises to help but then ghosts you. Contacting a company you paid over $70k for should receive at a minimum a response. We reached out simply to obtain documents or proof on our roof warranty seeing that most have a 10 year warranty. We didn't want him or his team back in the home considering his work is a danger but we did want to check warranties seeing that the roof he did had leaked several times (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2025) all at the joints of the addition. Simply put..... stay away from this company, not only is the workmanship a failure but there is zero accountability and integrity from the owner.

Outstanding work and craftsmanship. I've used Bergstrom for several home renovations and projects…read more Jobs well done!

In total we had 4 quotes for the flooring and theirs was best for the quality we wanted. We also needed some electrical work done and they again beat the rest of the quotes that we had gotten. Today they came and did both flooring and electrical all in the same day. They were great about communicating with me when they were picking up supplies and they were very respectful and kind the entire time they were here. Would recommend them to any of my family and friends. Will very likely be back in the future for more work!

Avoid This Contractor - Unprofessional and Poor Quality Work…read more We hired Mike and his team for a full kitchen renovation after speaking with multiple contractors, ultimately choosing him because his quote was a few thousand dollars less. Unfortunately, this decision ended up costing us much more in stress, time, and additional expenses due to the poor quality of work and overall unprofessionalism. The project began immediately after Thanksgiving, and we were initially told it would take one to two weeks to complete. Instead, it dragged on for months, finally wrapping up at the end of February. While the bulk of the work was completed within the first few weeks, many key aspects were done incorrectly. Among the biggest issues: * Most of our cabinets were crooked * Our garbage bin pull-out did not function at all * The sink was improperly not properly sealed We brought these concerns to Mike's attention multiple times, but rather than taking accountability, he consistently shifted the blame--on the holidays, the vendors, or even our own kitchen layout. Instead of addressing the problems with professionalism, every discussion became an argument where he tried to justify the mistakes rather than correct them. On top of that, there were constant delays and last-minute schedule changes, making the entire process incredibly frustrating. Mike would frequently commit to a specific date or time, only to either cancel last minute or show up hours late without notice. There were multiple instances where we rearranged our schedules and canceled personal plans to accommodate his timeline, only for him to either not show up or notify us at the last minute that he'd be delayed by several hours. This entire project required us to micromanage him for months. We constantly had to reach out for updates and follow up on unresolved issues. When we expressed our dissatisfaction, we were often met with excuses, forcing us to check in repeatedly--sometimes for days--just to get basic updates. It was exhausting and completely unprofessional. To his credit, Mike did offer to fix the remaining issues toward the end of the project. However, by that point, we were so drained from the months of back-and-forth, excuses, and constant delays that we were simply unwilling to go through another drawn-out process. The garbage bin alone took months to get fixed, and based on that experience, we had no confidence that the rest of the issues would be handled any more efficiently. Major issues remained unresolved--such as the entire section of cabinets around our refrigerator being visibly crooked. Despite showing him clear photo evidence (including a level proving they were not straight), he still insisted the issue was due to our floors and refrigerator, which were not the problem. Another major issue was his employee, who displayed a lack of care for our home and quality of work. He placed heavy tools directly on our new furniture and stone countertops, which is completely unacceptable. Despite multiple complaints, Mike insisted that we work with him and made no effort to correct his employee's behavior or craftsmanship. While we initially saved a few thousand dollars, the frustration, lack of professionalism, and poor workmanship made this renovation an absolute nightmare. I strongly recommend paying a little more for a reputable, reliable contractor who takes accountability for their work--because in the end, this "cheaper" option was far from worth it. To add to the unprofessionalism described above - I received this text from Mike after posting my honest review, which I took as a threat.

Delmy was so patient and thorough. She spent several hours with me bringing my design to life. And then the next day spent another couple of hours fine tuning, explaining and going through finishes with my husband. She was very diligent in making the right decisions with materials and sharing tips of the trade to get us what we wanted while staying within our defined budget. She even covered pieces in my order that I had forgotten about. She professional and has great instincts. I was also pleased that they had multiple options and we were able to find plenty of stock and availability in both cabinets and countertops. Both were reasonably priced and it was great to find everything at one location instead of having to go to multiple places. My only disappointment is that the warehouse is only open Monday through Friday and not open on Saturdays. But, I would recommend Delmy and FX for the wonderful and stress free experience.

I hired ProServ Builders & Renovations for a home renovation project including an ADU, kitchen,…read morebathrooms, and electrical work. The project involved multiple contracts and payments, but the billing was never clearly reconciled. Beginning in November 2025, I repeatedly provided written summaries of contracts, payments, and balances and asked for confirmation or correction. I did not receive a clear written reconciliation explaining how totals were calculated or how payments were applied. We eventually met and discussed the project, and while we now understand each other's positions, we do not agree on the outcome. A key issue is the treatment of a prior $18,000 payment within revised kitchen/flooring contracts, which remains in dispute. There were also instances where similar scope appeared across multiple contracts without clear explanation of whether work was included, replaced, or added. In addition, some pricing--particularly electrical work--expanded significantly without clear upfront definition. The project has taken much longer than originally discussed. The ADU was expected to be completed in about 90 days, but more than a year later it is still not fully usable. My kitchen is also not usable. Cabinet doors have not been installed, and the space is filled with materials and items moved during construction, making it difficult to access or use normally. Because I need to use the ADU kitchen due to the condition of the main kitchen, I have been unable to rent out the ADU despite having a tenant ready. I am still trying to resolve the billing issues and get a clear plan to complete the remaining work.
