C&K were great to work with throughout the entire home renovation process. During the design phase, Matt listened to what I wanted/needed and also provided helpful feedback. The actual construction was very efficient and went smoother than expected. Robert kept me updated and had great follow through until every last thing was completed. Ruben and team were also great to work with on a daily basis.

Weve had a lot of work done on our house the last 3 years: new pavers for the driveway and around the house, new pool house, painting in side and out, replaced AC & heat. Through all the work, I worked with a lot of contractors. Of all the folks I worked with, Cerletti & Kennedy is at the top of my list. The earthquake work isnt visible like the other work done on our house but its definitely very important work. I feel so much better now that the earthquake work has been done. Matt, one of the partners was very helpful, informative and responsive. The workers were very friendly and polite. They cleaned up every day and did their best to work around our busy schedule. The bid was very competitive and the results were outstanding. They also did a great job with submitting information to EBB and our city inspector. I highly recommend Cerletti& Kennedy for earthquake retrofit work.

We highly recommend Cerletti & Kennedy for the Earthquake Bolt & Brace (EBB) work done on our home in Pittsburg, California, in September 2024. If our experience is any indication of the quality of their work, we can also highly recommend them for any other construction work you may need. Once our EBB application was approved, I endeavored to get a good range of quotes: I received seven quotes from different companies, even though only three were required. There was one company that stood out from the rest, providing comprehensive information on the materials to be used as well as the installation process. Matt Kennedy also spent a fair amount of time on the phone with me, explaining exactly what the work entailed. Happily, their quote came in under the amount allotted by EBB. What really cinched the deal for me was that I didn’t have to come up with any money up front for the permits or inspections. Cerletti & Kennedy handled everything for us. To top that, the two-man crew they sent out were two of the nicest workers I’ve encountered. They were efficient, neat, and cleaned up at the end of each work day, accomplishing the whole job in less than a week. No stress, no problems; just peace of mind. Simply put, a job well-executed. Thank you, Cerletti & Kennedy!

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    With decades of experience, we find the commonest problem in home remodeling and additions is lack of design and management. Trades experience is important, but a poorly designed and managed project is bound to fail. Check references, check references, check references. Verify licenses and insurance are in good standing. Check references.
