Client Testimonials
P.B. on Hillcrest Rd., Berkeley
“Not only did I get an award winning job, but likely had my life saved by removing a carbon monoxide leaking chimney that gave me terrible headaches. And the brick chimney was recycled into a lovely double porch and stairway at my home.”
S. & K. on Harbord Rd., Oakland
“You helped save the day and save our house and kicked butt for us.” Karl Kardel worked as an expert witness in a case where the clients were written off by their lawyer. Instead they got a $70,000 settlement.
L.M.K. on Tunnel Rd., Berkeley
“Oh you are the BEST. Thank you again for all the amazing work you did to help fix our house issues. I don’t know what we would have done without you.” Karl Kardel consultancy negotiated a 100% insurance reimbursement from the builder without legal fees.
C.F. on Hawkview St., Portola Valley
“My home stopped leaking for the first time in 16 years, thank you. Previously new pella doors did not fix the leaks. You refused to put in more doors until water testing showed what the problems were.”
Dr. K. on Hiller Highlands, Berkeley
“A very pushy waterproofing contractor demanded $3,000 to replace a window he said leaked. Then i remembered your firm painted my house 30 years ago, and called you. you laughed and said 'what makes the guy think the window was leaking?' After testing showed nothing was wrong with the window, we replaced the gutter above. I am retired so the thoughtfulness was really appreciated. When I had a water heater break that flooded and ruined my interior, you were able to get the insurance company to pay the real damages, not the cut-rate offer they made.”
C.N. on Elmwood St., Berkeley
“I am still thrilled about the craftsmanship by your crew, making all new wood trim in recycled redwood, and matching the original redwood shingles. The house no longer leaks, and thanks for getting my insurance company to pay for storm damages in full after they made a 10% offer!”
C.I. on Peralta St., Albany
“Even though my roof was only 7 years old, it leaked and the upstairs got so hot as to be unlivable. You showed how the roof was installed incorrectly, and ‘cooked itself’ to pieces. the new roof is self ventilating and the upstairs no longer gets too hot. thank you. The waterproofing and paint job makes the house look new.”
B.L. on Waldo Ave., Piedmont
“I am still thrilled about the tile roof you had us put on. no leaks anymore, and the tar shingles are gone. tile restored the house to original design.”
T.E. on Norfolk Rd., Berkeley
“Thank you so much for taking care of our leak. The workmen did such a great job repairing the deck that it is impossible to believe that any tiles were removed.”
B.S. on Buckeye Rd., Oakland
“You are the only contractor I like more after the job is done than before."
