B n S Construction

We are nearly 1 year from when we contracted with Brian for our 30x24 back deck. The deck was partially finished June 2023, with half the deck getting 1 coat and the other half getting 2 coats. Needless to say it’s two different colors and not in a good way. There are several construction issues (gates sagging / boards popping / spindles too long / stairs not supported and sagging). We told Brian in October 2023 that we wanted a portion of the money back so we could hire someone to fix it. He came out, said he would get back to us that week. Nothing. 4 months later we messaged again and got no response. At this point, we are done and have held off with the review until now.

Amazing great contractor stays in budget and did my bathroom remodel in a timely manor

Him and his crew did a fantastic job on my kitchen and bath. Thanks again Brain.

Amazing highly recommend

I contracted Brian to do change my garage into a master bedroom and bath, along with other issues of flooring. We contracted him in April of 2021. He only completed half the work and took 90% of the money. He was delayed due to rain and I foolishly paid and trusted him to complete the job. He lied and did not deliver the materials or finish the work as promised. He and his workers would only work a couple hours a day at first, then after the time it was supposed to be finished, he would string me along for months. Maybe showing up 2 days or so a month, doing a little here and there. He left the demolition of my garage for over a half a year open to the elements. The materials for the bathroom never made it to the house. I finally after a year of this i hired another contractor to finish the job, which at the end i paid double the original bid to finish correctly. After the new contractor finished the job, Brian promised me he would pay me back half the money i wanted in refund. Still to no avail, he would say i will have it in a month, it would stretch out to 6 months total and i still have received no money. This has affected my family and my marriage. It is a shame that guys like these contractors can steal your money with no consequences. Please refrain from hiring this gentlemen so you don't have to go what my family went through.

If I could give this person a lower rating I would. The most that Brian Bernardelli could be considered for is a handyman, but he is not a contractor. I was told not to pay him a lot of money upfront by a lumber company (I will not give the person's name or place of employment). Brain can be very conning and he will lead you to believe that he can do anything and believe me he can not. My shower is leaking, the floor is unleveled, he pieced together the trim in the bathroom and did not do the siding for outside. I feel it is my fault I should have heed to the signs, but I was so excited that I was finally getting a second bathroom with a house of five kids and two adults failed to follow through with hiring the right person for the job. UPDATE AS OF 3/10/2022: I have nothing to gain with my review, use him don't that is your disappointment to cope with. The shower is beautiful without doubt, but a costly nightmare. The shower pan is leaking which has to be replaced, no one will repair the pan because they will not be liable for the shower. The beautiful shower that he is so "happy" with has to be replaced and will cost $5,000. You do the Math, beautiful shower or usable shower.

Flawlessly done job!!! Will definitely use again for future work. Quick, clean and efficient with time spent working.

Excellent!! Brian is amazing to work with. Super friendly and very honest with you. We had a horrible situation with our original builder but Brian did everything he could do to help and more! I would definitely say he went above and beyond for us. He also does not rack up prices on you. I will definitely go to him again for future house projects and I would absolutely recommend him to my friends/ family. 10/10

If I could give minus -5 stars, I would. We hired BnS Construction in October for a master bedroom/bathroom reno. At the time, the owner, Brian, told us it would take 8 weeks, taking us to Dec. 18th, and three payment installments: One at the beginning of the project, one halfway, and one at the end when the job was completed. No contract, which should have been our first clue, and should definitely be yours if you're reading this. In November, when all he'd done was knock out a wall, remove an old tub and do some jackhammering (hardly halfway), he asked for the second installment, telling us to "get ready, because all kinds of deliveries are going to be coming to your door." Nothing. Not one thing came to our door. As for dependability, when he showed up, which averaged 2-3 days a week, he worked for a maximum of 2 hours at a time. We never saw the man work a full day. Not once. Five months later, we're left with nothing that resembles functional or livable. Sheer frustration led us to finally read reviews on the Better Business Bureau recently, which, admittedly, we should have done before we hired him, despite Angi's recommendation (I can't figure out this "vetting" process of Angi's, for the life of me). With an average of 1.75 stars on BBB, we decided to have a number of professionals come in to assess his work. We told him in advance that we were going to do this, and he replied with, "Any contractor can walk in there and find things wrong just to get the job. Give me a chance to make it up to you." We insisted on moving ahead with his work being evaluated for our own peace-of-mind, and here's the short list of what we've witnessed being discovered (things done by BnS Construction): - Removed a load bearing wall and did not put in any kind of compensating support - Used substandard, plastic plumbing fittings instead of brass - Did the plumbing himself (he said he couldn't find a plumber), and we've since learned that if there's an issue after the fact, insurance won't cover us unless the work is done by a certified plumber - Busted one of our existing pipes by our toilet while jackhammering the floor - Put up drywall over a live/hot plug - in our wet shower area!! This is the worst, by far, and we wouldn't have found it had our current contractor not insisted on taking down the drywall Brian put up due to poor quality. At least two of these bullet points were not only absurd, but appear to be potentially life-threatening! Apparently the man got COVID during his time with us, and we did have a week of terrible snowstorms in Texas, but even subtracting the total of 4 weeks where he couldn't come to our house, we still have been left with 4.5 months of our time, 4-6 hours a week of his, and $14,000.00 out the window with nothing to show for it but the start of a reno that needs a thorough reno. I could go on for pages, but suffice it to say that we wouldn't recommend BnS Construction if our dog house needed repair.

Went well, took longer than originally predicted. Overall very happy with job. Would use again and give their name to others

Although I decided to not do the work B&S quoted me for, the service during the estimate process was incredibly smooth and Brian offered me multiple financing options. I will definitely call Brian when I actually decide to get the work completed!

Great work and great value.

Owner came and met with us on Monday Sepetember 7th and bid the job 17,00.00. He requested half down. He was paid $8,800.00. He and one helper came on Wednesday of the same week and cut holes for the windows. They stayed 21/2 hours. They came on Thursday and stayed from 10:30 a.m. till 2:30p.m. On that Friday He called and said he could not make if. They came and cut holes to the outside on Monday. He said he wasn't coming on Tuesday because it was going to rain. On Thursday we called him at noon to see when he was coming back. We got no answer. My husband finally got an E-Mail that he was going to be able to come because he was in a depisition at court. He sent his helper on Friday, and he worked on cutting some wood. On Monday of the next week, the helper put in the windows. There were still holes to the outside in all four windows. We did not see the boss until Friday. The helper was left to do all the work by himself. He had no ablilty to cut wood straight and he places half of the pourch beems upside down. When we complained he said it would be corrected. It was not. For the next 2 weeks, the helper continued to work alone. All this time, we had holes in our roof. We placed Pillows in the window holes to keep the insects out. One morning when we came back from hiking, a bird had flown in through one of the holes. The second week in October was when the holes were closed to the outside. The inside and outside of the windows are still unfinished but he had another helper come tear off the roof. The helper placed roofing on the roof without flashing and at the roof transitions, he just nailed the shingles over the edge of the roof when my husband yelled and screamed. Meanwhile, the other helpler started framing the deck without any support to the house. They brought lumber supports and left them sitting on top of the deck frame. My husband was out there every day complaining and telling them what they needed to correct. He would have fired them but we knew we would never get our money back. We finally fired him the last wek of october. The roof has since been removed and reroofed by Gordy Roofing in 2 days with proper flashing and materials. The window trim will need to be completly redone and one of the windows already Fills with condensation between the double paynes. We got an quote to complete the deck and contractor said the whole frame would need to be torn down or the deck would fall. All the material used except the shingles, were used or bought at bargin outlets. The roofing nails were rusty. One of the windows has failed. We are retired and we had saved for many years to have this work done. We now do not have to money to complete any of this work except the roof that was going to destroy our house if it was not corrected. Please do not make the same mistakes we did. It is a hard lesson to learn and there is very little recourse.
