Over the years, we have provided clients with exceptional service for the following types of work:

  • Restoration and Waterproofing
  • Exterior repair and Rehabilitation
  • Roofing
  • Sidewalk Repair and Replacement

We pride ourselves on the fact that 75 percent of our business comes from returning clients. The importance of quality work and the value of client/contractor interactions is a deeply held principle integral to our success. Some of our clients include:

Our internal quality assurance program guarantees that all departments interact as part of a team - from estimating, administration, legal, accounting and field operations - and ultimately pass the rewards of this team unit onto our clients. We work closely with all members of the project team including the architect/engineer, property manager, building superintendent and board members to ensure that each job will be completed on time and within budget.

Safety is of utmost concern at Bernini and we train all employees, whether they are on site everyday or only stop by for periodic visits, with proper safety instructions. Call our office for more specific information about our safety procedures and programs.
