We had a wonderful experience working with Berkley Construction. Our 1914 house in Hillcrest was completely rebuilt. All floors, ceilings, walls, electrical systems, plumbing, heating and cooling were replaced. The house looks and feels absolutely beautiful. If you have ever had the feeling of walking into a space which is light, open, and makes you happy -- that's what Keith,Robert,and Andrew made possible. We were supported at all stages of the project. They took the time to work through how to make the house open up. We loved some of the details they implemented: historic pulley windows were rebuilt, the back door has a sealed(internal) shade/privacy mechanism, the kitchen faucet has a wine glass cleaning setting, the walls are thick (5/8ths) for better sound insulation, the floors are reinforced to dampen vibration, the metal numbers on the house are absolutely perfect. I could go on ... We live in the Bay Area. To accomplish this project we needed to find a contractor we could absolutely trust. Through open communication, excellent follow through, and a lot of hard work - Berkley Construction delivered. https://www.berkhome.com/projects/complete-hillcrest-home-remodel-restoring-a-classic-san-diego-home-from-the-ground-up read more

I had such a great experience working with my general contractor, Keith, and his amazing crew--Kerf, Abraham, and Chris. They recently completed a big renovation project on my house, which included building a beautiful new deck, replacing some of the siding, and painting the entire exterior. Their work is impeccable--every detail was carefully thought through, and they didn't leave a single stone unturned. The crew was respectful, hardworking, and kept the work site tidy. I really appreciated how communicative and reliable they were throughout the entire process. My house looks better than I imagined, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're looking for a contractor who takes pride in their work and delivers quality results, I highly recommend Berkeley Construction! read more

They handled every problem that came their way with efficiency and quality and I didn't have any issues with the construction everything went smoothly--the best construction company in San Diego, definitely worth checking them out. read more

I don't have enough superlatives to describe how absolutely phenomenal the Berkley crew has been! After getting discouraged talking to a number of other companies in the construction field, Berkley's easy communication and attention to detail were a breath of fresh air and I won't be working with anyone but them on any future project. I purchased a 1940 South Park craftsman home that initially had four bedrooms and one bathroom on the main floor (yes, it was odd) as well as a big open area with a bathroom downstairs. We replaced one of the upstairs bedrooms with a master bath and master closet, and turned the downstairs into a 1br/1ba junior ADU with a kitchenette in order to essentially turn the home into two units and rent one out. It all turned out wonderful; I'd be happy to give you a tour if you want to come see their work! Keith (owner) and Joe (project manager) came over for an initial consultation shortly after reaching out to them and were open, detailed and informative from the get go. Some estimates I received were just an overall guess of a number; Berkley's proposal was probably 8 pages of line items, breaking down things so you could understand (very useful for my first major renovation experience). They were easy to get ahold of and always very responsive to my many, many questions. Even though they, like all construction companies, have been very busy as of late, I always felt like everything I needed was attended to. The pricing was fair and accurate, the timeline was met and I couldn't be happier with the results. There are a lot of mediocre construction folks out there; do yourself and go with Berkley, you won't be disappointed! read more

I have uploaded screen shots of out text conversations. So everyone can see for themselves. I thought I found a great business in the beginning, they were responsive,punctual, and friendly. They worked with me to make sure they new what I wanted. They sent me over a quote and I agreed to it. I was told it was a 2 week lead time for the door to come in and I was OK with that. Then a month went by and I never heard from them! I texted and found out they din't order the door because they received and incorrect price from their supplier. After 3 more weeks of asking about my door I finally had enough. read more

We chose Berkley Construction because Keith Berkley and his project managers grasped our vision for our remodel and gave us practical suggestions for how to accomplish our goals. We chose one of his recommended designers who proved to be excellent. Our project was completed on budget and the results exceeded our expectation. Robert Barnes was Project Manager. He is a great communicator. He listened to all of our interests and concerns for the project and attended to every detail. He never hesitated to explain in an easy way to understand why something we desired might not be feasible, but more often saw to it at the our desires were fulfilled. He always respects our time and privacy. He was always on time and kept the "subs" on track. Our belongings and property were treated with utmost respect. He kept track of all the parts needed for the project. He always had is eye on the timeline and kept us abreast of the schedule. I recommend Berkley Construction any residential project. read more

I recently bought an old Craftsman in South Park and hired Berkley construction to carry out renovations and upgrades prior to my move in. Keith Berkley, the owner, came to the site to meet me the same day I contacted him, which I greatly appreciated. I'm a first time homeowner, and Keith's expertise and vision proved to be extremely valuable to me, beginning with the initial walk through. Keith was able to immediately assess the property and recommend valuable upgrades which I would not have thought of on my own. We settled on a project description, and work began almost immediately. Four weeks later, my little Craftsman was transformed, and I was ready to move in. I am extremely happy with the work done by Keith and his team, and am looking forward to working with Berkley construction for future upgrades, and new projects. read more

A big shout-out to Berkley Construction for helping us fulfill our dream of adding a deck to our home! When we first contacted Keith Berkley, he came out very quickly and offered many useful suggestions on how the deck might be built. We were also very pleased with the architect, Bruce, who designed a deck that met the City's stringent engineering and building codes. A big thanks to Steve who did the actual construction based on the architectural drawings and completed the project in a timely manner. Finally, we wish to recognize the electrician, Eric, who made sure the lighting was exactly what we wanted. The finished product is beautiful and we love it! read more

Our house was built in the 1950s and it desperately needed a facelift. We had also recently completed a room addition in the back of the house and the designs did not match. The transition between the two parts of the house was blaringly obvious. We needed to have the old siding replaced, a large portion of the stucco re-done or repaired, some electrical as well as various smaller cosmetic changes. We researched approximately 4-5 general contractors on Angie's list, all of which had excellent reviews. It was a big decision for us and was the first time we had hired a contractor for such a big job. Needless to say, we had several questions and little knowledge as to how the process would go. The project manager, Robert Barnes, became our main point of contact and was always very quick to respond. He patiently and thoroughly answered all of our questions and even met with us after hours on at least a couple occasions in order to accommodate our schedule - all before even signing a contract. When we were presented with a quote and later a contract we found them to be very clearly defined and itemized, something we did not see with other companies. At least one contractor we talked with wanted a large down payment upfront, which is not in accordance with the laws governing general contractors. With Berkley, the payment schedule was in accordance with the law and very transparent. In fact, a significant amount of work was already completed before we even received the first invoice. Ultimately Robert's demeanor along with the professionalism of the company led us to choose Berkley Construction for our project. Upon signing the contract we were given a start time and approximate completion date and as promised our project started on the expected date. The crew showed up on time each morning and worked diligently throughout each day. Robert made it a point to touch base each morning to communicate progress and made sure to continue to answer all of our questions as well as address any concerns or changes as they came up. He really listened to what we said and clearly understood our concerns and priorities for the job. Even without prompting, he demonstrated that keeping within our budget and making efforts to cut costs without compromising quality were on the forefront of his mind. It had been our experience with previous smaller jobs and we had heard from numerous people that it is pretty common for a contractor to be very responsive while trying to gain the contract but then communication quickly becomes less of a priority once they have it. That was not the case at all with Berkley Construction. Robert was just as easy to reach after we signed and if for some reason he couldn't take our call he was ALWAYS prompt to return the call. As with any construction project, unexpected problems would sometimes arise. If there were any deviations from the plan, Robert was very proactive in communicating what the issue was and letting us know what his plan was to deal with it. In every interaction it was clear that our satisfaction with the progress and quality of the job was their main concern. Surprisingly, even with the addition of work required, the cost very rarely changed and when it did it was for something that was truly out of their control. Another aspect of working with Berkley construction that we appreciated was their flexibility as the project evolved. For example, about halfway into our remodel we decided that we wanted to add stone veneer to the front of the house. Robert quickly arranged several sub-contractors to come out and bid the job until we found the right fit and ultimately helped with many aspects outside of what we considered to be the scope of the original project. In summary, I am very happy with the experience we had as well as the quality of work completed. I cannot say enough positive things about them and especially the project manager, Robert. I give Berkley Construction my highest recommendation. read more

After a terrible time with another contractor, we found Berkeley Construction on Yelp and wanted to find someone local. Keith Berkley is a no nonsense, honest, and knowledgable business owner. From the first initial meeting, we felt comfortable, established trust, and liked his attitude. Our project was complex and had many unforeseen challenges - that is how it goes for old craftsman homes. They were able to provide many services from general home improvements, foundation replacement, custom fence design, and other external repairs. He and his team were able to find solutions and keep us updated along the entire process of the project. Gary, our project manager, was very responsive, we trusted him, and always were kept informed about key project milestones and inspections. He was able to problem solve and provide recommendations along the way. Also, our dogs really liked him and wish he would come back and visit. We really enjoyed getting to know the team and the finished work exceeded our expectations. They brought our front porch vision to life! read more

We recently completed a project to have a large closet removed in an effort to expand space in an ajoining bedroom. I have nothing but praise for Keith from Berkley Construction and our project manager, Robert. We had an initial floor plan drawn out for the room and an estimate was provided, outlining the costs. The entire project was completed on time as promised. The entire crew was punctual and showed up on time every morning. After the demo work was completed and deviations needed to be made to the original plans, I appreciated the feedback and suggestions on how to solve the problems while still maintaining the integrity of the project. Robert was exceptional in maintaining a daily update to me, either via email, text or a phone call and I appreciated this as I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. He was receptive to little changes along the way and worked with us to make sure we were happy with the work. At the completion of the project, Keith came to do a final walk through and minor touch ups were completed the next day. I highly recommend using Berkley Construction for your construction projects! I am thrilled with the quality of the work and we would not hesitate to use Berkley Construction for any of our future renovations. read more
