Read all the reviews on Vick B's website and thought I'd give them a try. Was hoping for a free estimate on a room we needed done. In my email to them I listed the size of our room and what we were hoping to get a quote on (finishing the ceiling, ideally with beadboard, painting the room and installing a thin crown molding). Vick B's emailed me back and wrote - "I can give you an estimate if you send me some pictures of the room!!" Meh- really? So I now have to go take pics of the room, hoping that I capture what it is you feel you need to see to give an accurate quote? AND what if when you arrive to do the job (assuming you got it), you decide that it might cost more to finish because after all you only looked at pictures?? Didn't get a good feeling from this. Totally felt blown off. Am looking elsewhere. read more

I had Vic do a quick job for me a month ago to patch some stucco and stop a leak in my roof. He was an honest contractor and showed up on time for the estimate and the job, and that's a rarity these days. The job was small, but he still treated me like an important customer. It's been months and the work has stood up. Cash only and the amount was exactly the same as the estimate. read more

If you are looking for an honest, reliable, great quality work contractor stop looking and call Victor right now. After having a really terrible experience with another contractor who did poor quality work and just ran with our money, hiring Victor and his crew was truly a blessing. The communication was excellent. Every day he let me know what was done and what was expected for the following day. His crew worked here rain or shine or even during snow storms. They were working on our outdoor living space in the middle of January so you can imagine what the weather was like some of the days. The project that the other contractor could not do within two months, these guys get done within two weeks. And the quality of work is top notch. Victor was here assessing the work of his crew on almost daily basis and listened to our concerns and adjusted things as we needed. You will not regret calling him! Really, stop searching for a good/reliable contractor and call him! read more

Vick and his team did an awesome job on completely renovating our bathroom. They showed up everyday on time and cleaned up after themselves when they were done. If we had questions or concerns we were able to call Vick and he got back to us immediately. I love my new bathroom. read more

Definitely RECOMMEND! I've dealt with lots of contractors and Vick is definitely one of the professional ones. On time and does what he said and more. I didn't have to baby sit him like I have to do with other contractors. Great craftsman and professionalism. read more

Horrible!! Had him come out to do about 100K worth of work on a remodel.. New windows, framing, electrical, roofing, plumbing.. the works.. He had Mike Renzulli from Philly's Best Contractors with him.. sounded like he know what he was talking about.. They didn't.. from the start, what should have been a 1-2 week framing job turned into 6 weeks.. the plumbing was shoddly done.. the framing of the ceiling was uneven.. I wouldn't use them if they paid me. read more

After trudging through many estimates with some scary unwashed contractors as well as some who thought they were rebuilding the Sistine Chapel (based on cost estimate), I had the good fortune to run across Victor Bernades. He's a younger guy, professional yet fun (licensed and insured), very reasonably priced, and the quality of the work was excellent. He and his crew were timely and worked non-stop each day. Highly recommended without any hesitation. read more

OMGOODNESS, what can I say about Vick, Drew and their crew.......MAGNIFICENT!!!!! I met with multiple contractors before I met Vick. the contractors either didn't show up.... showed up and provided an inflated estimate or started work but did not complete it. Then I called Vick. From the first meeting I thought 'this guy is too good to be true'. He came in, listened to my needs, assessed my home, made recommendations then left with a promise that I would receive an estimate within a few days. I honestly didn't think I would hear from him again. The amount of work I needed done in my home often scared folks away. To my surprise, true to his word, a few days later I had a written, itemized estimate in my inbox with competitive prices. After answering some clarifying questions, Vick was hired. Now you must know, that my home needed major repairs/renovations throughout. You see, my home was affected by smoke and water damage due to an adjoining house fire 10 months ago. My home had been sitting for 7+ months before work could be started. So you can guess that a house that sits in that condition only worsens. Vick was not afraid of the challenge but rather excited about it. He could see beyond my houses' current state and to its potential and surprisingly, he was able to make me see it as well. He was ready to turn my piece of coal into a diamond. I knew it was going to be a challenge. but throughout this journey, Vick has had a solution for every problem that either developed during the process OR by me asking for adjustments. And when providing me updates, instead of saying to me: your house is in horrible condition Rose, he would say... Your walls needed love, so we gave it some...He NEVER said No. He would always respond with.. let me think how I can best do it, and he made it happen!! Vick brings with him Every member of his team that specializes in their particular craft: Electrician, Painter, Carpenter, Flooring, Plumber, Drywaller, etc. He brings in the Right person to do the job needed. Most contractors would bring in a general handy man trying to do everything.. As they say, a jack of all trades and a master of none. Not Vick or Drew!!! These gentlemen are true Masters of their craft!!! For example, I had my kitchen and bath done right before I found Vick...BELIEVE Me when I tell you that if I had known about Vick he would have done my bathroom and kitchen as well, but unfortunately I found him after I had already signed a contract with another company. Oh, how I wish I had known about Vick before... But that's a review for another time. I digress.....The plumber who was just there to install a gas line for a stove, noticed that there were no shut off valves in my brand new bathroom shower. What did the plumber do, that was hired for one thing.., Vick had him install shut off valves in the shower, then had him check out the rest of the bathroom. When he noticed a leak in the shower as well, he fixed it. When the floor needed some more support, Vic had it fixed as well as he was replacing the living room ceiling. Who does that..??!!.. I'll tell you... Vick and his Crew. They listen to the customer.. They follow the customers requests and they make recommendations when necessary. After my kitchen/bath stress, Vick was the Healer that I needed. They go the extra mile to make your dreams come true and turn your house back into your home..They love what they do and it shows. Vick and his Foreman Drew are a creative, dynamite team. They WILL get the job done and within budget!!!... Now for the surprise....you'll never guess that they are not finished creating their masterpiece yet with my home. That's right....They are only half way done. So you can imagine if I'm leaving them this GLOWING review already and I haven't even seen the finished product, these guys must be the REAL thing.... They are and I will comeback when I am, comfortable in my newly remodeled home and give you the conclusion review. Stay tuned! read more

Contact Vick for an estimate, you will not regret it! He was an amazing contractor to work with on our complete bathroom renovation (not to mention removing a chimney in the process). We received estimates from about 3 contractors and decided on Vick, and we could not be happier about that decision! He was less expensive, quick to start, and honest about what could be done. Vick was easy to communicate with throughout the process (I prefer texting while at work) and the estimate did not fluctuate from the start to finish. I needed a bit of hand holding throughout the process of buying materials and Vick was able to guide me in the right direction, and even recommend a local Tile & Glass company that offered the same supplies I wanted at a lower price. Any issue that arose we discussed thoroughly and a decision was made immediately to keep the project moving. I don't understand any of the negative reviews, especially since they did not even do a project with him, ignore them I say... We plan on using Vick again in 1 week for a painting project, and then again for the total remodel of our kitchen in the future. Highly recommended. read more

was hired to do carpentry and finish work on a new construction but walked out from the job after a few days, said he needs one day to finish something elsewhere and never came back or been heard from again... very bad way to do business read more

I don't know how the other positive review came about. This was not a good experience for me. They never showed up for the appointment, and they never called afterwards. Vick B.'s completely forgot about me as a customer! There is no way I am giving this company my business. read more

Victor has done work in my home and at my business. He finishes the projects within the time frame he says he will and the work is high quality. He has come through when others haven't! read more
