They removed damaged floor molding and replaced it with new. They also removed and replaced trim around many of my doors. Pete's electrician fixed a fan that other electricians could not. Besides painting the trim they replaced, he painted the ceiling downstairs and the garage.

Work appointment at 9:00 AM. Al and his assistant were backing their truck into the drive way at 8:55 AM. Went right to work and completed work including cleanup in about an hour. Pete is very easy to deal with and provided a quick estimate, fast turn around - scheduled the job less than a week after I approved his bid. Happy with job results. I would not hesitate to use this company again.

Bergen's did an excellent job. The company owner, Mr. Pete Bergen, was always available and very responsive to my needs. His price was very reasonable. His work crews are very professional, and they cleaned the work site after every day on the job. Once they started the job, they continued until completion. I have used Bergen's several times, and will continue to use them in the future. I can always count on Bergen's to perform at a high standard.
Description of Work: Bergen's Contracting replaced all the masonite on the rear and front of my house. After replacing the masonite, they caulked and painted the new siding. They also replaced several corner boards. They even replaced an additional area that was not in the original estimate because they were concerned about the siding deterioration that had taken place. This they did at no additional charge.

Workers were competent, but did not clean up well, The original price and things promised; shingling repair over bay window and along side of garage were poor. Estimate (6750.00) and final bill (9575.00) was off by almost 3000.00. He did not remember the original estimate and had to point out to him that some of the work was not extra, but included in the original estimate. The discovered wood damage was not an issue and I had no problem paying for that repair, but given the repairs and cost, I could have had my entire house painted for what I was charged, my house was only painted in spot areas. He quoted 2000.00 per window for 2 replacements, which I declined. I received no updates on the price change, nor any discussion prior to receiving the final bill. As I said his workers are competent, but I did not like what he promised in customer service vs. what he delivered.

Response from Bergen's Contracting & Repair Inc
Bergen's Contracting & Repair, Inc. appreciates the business. The hardboard siding and wood trim home had a lot of deteriorated wood around the perimeter. After the original inspection and estimate, my crew started working. We found many other items that needed to be repaired. I met with the homeowner on two separate occasions and went over the additional work. At that time, the home owners told Bergen's Contracting & Repair, Inc. to remove and replace all the deteriorated wood. Estimates were provided. The job was specified to paint the areas that were repaired. The two windows were both twin window units which totaled to four windows.

Siding replacement was good, but spray painting was like a beginner. Pete's team spray painted the siding and the spray was heavy in some places and ultra thin in others. Left a blotchy look. Without personally coming out to inspect the results, Pete tried to say via the phone that it was the type of paint used (I only use high quality Sherwin Williams Duration gloss). I've personally done a lot of painting in my time and I know when a job is not good. I was billed the full amount and I still paid the invoice on receipt. I stood by my committment to pay promptly and its siimply disappointing that he didn't stand behind his to do the job correctly. Note: Since job completion, I've had others comment about the poor quality of the painting.

Response from Bergen's Contracting & Repair Inc
Bergen's Contracting & Repair, Inc. appreciates the business. I did inspect the issue after my supervisor corrected the problem. I let my supervisor correct the problem since he is very experienced and has sprayed hundreds of homes, he has also worked for me for 20 years. Unfortunately, we replaced the siding on half the gable and had to spray half of the wall. The paint did "flash out" because we used satin finish, very common on satin finishes. Bergen's Contracting & Repair, Inc. was in constant contact about the issue and we did our best to correct it.

This is a late review. Approximately January 2013 timeframe, I received quotes from 2 Handy-Man companies that I found on this site. The job entailed the removal of four sets of double doors (8 doors) and replacing them with two set of four windows (8 windows). They told me the job would take one week. Their prices were in line with each other, and were approximately $7,500.00. I thought this too high and decided to wait. In April, I decided to find a carpenter, since it is carpentry, and get the job done. Again, I went to the list and decided to call Bergen Contracting and Repair Inc for a quote. I called and got the company answering machine and left a message. Pete Bergan called me that evening and we set a time for the estimate. He arrived early and we looked at the project. He measured, photographed and asked numerous questions; What type of windows, did I want him to match siding, match outside and inside paints, etc. I also asked make two other minor repairs for me. The estimate was approximately $4900.00. The work was performed in 2.5 days; 2 sets of double doors per day. and each set of new windows were 'dried-in' the day that set of 4 doors was removed. The carpenters (2) were absolutely excellent. I watched them periodically and their attention to detail was great. Ismael and his partner were prompt, courteous and 'worker bees'. It was a job quite well done. Mr Bergen came out to inspect the job and the completed product. He only accepted payment AFTER COMPLETION. No upfront deposit. I was impressed. I am particular about the work done since those windows are on the lakeside of the house and provide the view from the master BR and the living room. I will Bergen Contracting and Repair Inc. again, and I strongly recommend him.
Description of Work: Removed 4 sets of double doors (8 doors total) and replaced them with windows, insulated the spaces below the windows and around the windows, performed dry-wall work, matched interior paint perfectly, matched siding on outer wall perfectly.

Very professional service and top notch quality workmanship. Thank you Pete and crew! We used this company to prepare for home sale with results beyond our expectations. After home inspection, we called them back to help address extensive bathroom shower repairs needed. Upon re-inspection, the comments we received were, "your contractor did a fantastic job, some of the best work I've seen." Our concerns of repairs and limited time frame became Pete's concerns; he was in daily contact with us and met our deadline with high quality workmanship!

I have had a good experience with them. We use them all the time. We just used them and we got them from your list, and we have been using them ever since. They are very professional. They give excellent quality. They do just beautiful painting and I would say they really can paint. They are not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Everything went rather well. The final product looks great, and the wood rot is gone. Pete was great to work with, as was Chris who did the final paint work the following day. They quoted a price higher than many, but not the most expensive. We chose them because we liked Pete and trusted that his men would do an excellent job, and they did.

The job went well, completed and in a good time frame. (Though Pete never told us when the work was planned to be started, we found out the workers were going to start when they showed up at the house!) The work was ok- I struggle on how 'great' the work was due to us saying we would do the finishing work ourselves (caulk and paint). We went through 2 full tubes of caulk.. not sure we expected that many gaps, but next time we will just pay for a 'finished' product. The bill/invoice came promptly once the jobs were finished, though no update or communication about the bowing in the roof. Turns out the bowing was 'ok' but would have been nice to have been informed without asking. Wasn't a fan of the cigarette butts or nails left on the ground at the work site.
Description of Work: Cut and replace various rotten exterior trim, soffit, and fascia. Replace and install new gutter and downspouts along one side of garage. Work did not include putty,caulk, or painting (i.e. finishing). Inspect bowing in roof.

This was a total professional experience from the quote to the finish. Pete worked with us on the price and we were able to save $200 by keeping the chimney cap. It wasn't rusted through and only needed to be sanded and painted with rust proof paint. The old wood was replaced with Hardiplank to last longer and deter woodpeckers. We appreciated the great clean up work by the crew and are very proud of our "new" chimney. Highly recommend this company for quality work and professionalism.

While my wife and I decided to hold off on this project, I wanted to comment on Pete's professionalism during the estimate process. The project we were looking to take on was replacement of all our exterior (plastic) shutters with wood shutters. Pete was able to come before our appointment, but made sure to call to make sure that was okay rather than just show up. Before the estimate process even began Pete went into great detail regarding what materials price we could expect for wood shutters, different methods of install, and the pros and cons of the wood vs. the plastic/vinyl ones we have. He even went into detail about the preferred wood to use to avoid rot. While the price for this was a little steep for us (and Pete was very upfront about that too), I would have no qualms about consulting him for any future project.

He has done a great job on anything he has done for me. He is usually available within a reasonable amount of time. His workers are also good about cleaning up after themselves. He may not be the cheapest but his prices are competitive.

From the initial bid process through the performance of the work, it was a painless process for us. Bergan's performed the work quoted, did the power washing and repairs first to our satisfaction then proceeded with painting. The paint products are recognized as top quality in the industry. They were very neat and professional, no landscaping was impacted. They came when they committed and finished when they said they would; and, most important, I would use them again.
Description of Work: Bergen's Contracting and Repair did an excellent job on our exterior trim, shutter and window painting and repairs. We have extensive exterior molding on our home, most of which needed cleaning and repairs for wood rot. It now looks like new. The men were thorough, neat, punctual and very professional. This was a significant amount of work and Bergen's did a great job. I would highly recommend them.

Received a phone call back in less than two hours. Got some great tips and overall had a wonderful conversation regarding my situation. No pressure, they provided their POV and left it in my hands to call them back for an estimate or not. Enjoyed the conversation and assistance that was provided. If I need actual work done, I will likely call them back in the future for this project or others.
