Our home remodel project with Bernard King went terrible. Bernard King is the most unprofessional and incompetent home remodel contractor. He made a bunch of promises but he failed to live up to his promises. He did not properly supervise his employees, let our home unsupervised and his work was defective. He failed to take responsibility for his work and refuses to warranty and/or correct his defective workmanship. While he was the general contractor on our project we had personal property stolen from our home. we have had multiple areas of his work that failed and we had to report him to the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Their industry expert found multiple areas of his work as defective and found that Bernard King did not follow industry standards and practice. Bernard King also refused to repair the defective work of his company and also refuses to reimburse us for the repairs we made to his poor workmanship A list of defective work by Bernard King at our home includes: Cracking and discoloration to exterior stucco Numerous cracks to interior texture Improper installation of medallions to concrete and then poorly performed attempts to correct resulting in damages Leaking patio cover Construction of patio cover and pergola not to "industry standards" Roof leak in 2 places Improper installation of concrete driveway leading to rain water running into and flooding garage Improper assessment of shower leak, resulting in Bernard King convincing us to install new shower glass when leak was coming from failed shower pan Bernard King did not return our design plans Bernard King violated CSLB code by charging an excessive deposit Bernard King also used devious business practices in trying to trick us into signing a full release to his work. Bernard King also changed the name of his business (from East County Handyman), perhaps to deceive people looking into his prior work under his company's name. Bernard King also raised his voice at my wife while trying to bully us into accepting a check from him and sign a release of liability. The CSLB has ordered Bernard King to arbitration and found that his work did not meet "industry standards".
Description of Work: Wide variety of home remodel construction, such as new window, stucco, interior texture and paint, electrical, patio cover, baseboards, etc.

We never got a response from him after the initial contact.

We called BKC on Thursday 6/11/15. Mr King came out that day and gave us a price. Said he could do the work on Tuesday the 16th. He came and he did a fantastic job considering the plumbing was the original (house built in "71). He was very outgoing, and very professional. I cannot say enough good things about him and the work he did.
Description of Work: Installed a new bathroom vanity with the plumbing

Response from Bernard King Construction
[member name removed], i do realize that it took some time for my to respond to your initial request and for that i do truly apologize. It has been my goal to do my best to get back to customers within 48 hours and i have a pretty good track record in do that, i fell way too short in your case. I wanted to make sure that you did eventually get my response to you that explained that i am not a roofing contractor but that i could recommend one and that i can help with wood repair and window installation. if you are still in need of any help please feel free to contact me and i will do my best to help. thanks, Bernard King

Workmanship was done in an orderly manner. The crew was very professional.
Description of Work: We had a 60" HDTV and a gas fireplace installed in a custom-designed cabinet in our kitchen/family room . East County Handyman was the general contractor to complete a complex installation, involving electrical, plumbing, structural and carpentry work. Bernard King and his crew demolished and took away old cabinetry, installed new custom cabinets and TV mount, obtained permit and ran gas line and vent to new fireplace. They oversaw fireplace installation, wood floor repair, and they rerouted electrical, modified stucco, and repaired wall and drywall.

He's a super sized handy man so he does jobs in between what a handyman does and what a general contractor does. When it comes to painting, his men aren't as good as other painting specialists I've worked with. However, all their woodwork and carpentry is just rock solid.
Description of Work: East County Handyman replaced the siding on my home, repaired some wooden steps, and painted a few of my doors. They even cleaned up the painting work that was messed up by another company prior to their arrival.
