Cerletti & Kennedy Design-Build

The job got finished overall I was happy with the finish project. The job was not as smooth I had hoped for. I believe my experience on construction and expectation's might have been out of touch. I would for sure let them bid on more work for me if I ever planned to do any more construction.

Awesome and Professional

Fairly straightforward project that was executed with a minimum of fuss or trouble. I met with Robert Cerletti and hired him on the spot. He surveyed the project (new kitchen cabinets, counters, sink, cooktop and backsplash). Gave me a price - pulled out his pad, wrote it out in triplicate and we were off to the races. His foreman Marcos is outstanding, Robert is old school and does things the way they used to be done, which was refreshing (and amazingly efficient and effective). Photo was taken just before the tile was grouted.

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 didnâ 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 Iâ 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!

Worked with Robert and his team to build our ADU. His experience and knowledge was helpful throughout. His team is professional and made sure all inspections passed. Would highly recommend working with him.

Outstanding quality and service from C&K. The quote process was easy and friendly. The plans for the deck rebuild were thorough and they completely handled getting the permits and approvals from the city. Their workers were pleasant and respectful and highly skilled. Everyone in the neighborhood has commented at how beautiful the deck now is. I cannot wait to enjoy my new deck! I highly recommend Cerletti & Kennedy, and would definitely use them again for any work you need to be sure it will done correctly, with safety and beauty in mind.

Cerletti and Kennedy are the great balance of design-creativity and project management time/cost execution. Their kitchen design team came up with solutions to design challenges like maximizing storage in a small space while keeping it accessible through close partnering with suppliers. On the build side, the project moved steadily to completion with regular updates without me having to ask. The inevitable hiccups were brought to my attention right away and addressed usually within a few days. Most important to me was the craftsmanship and attention to fine detail of the construction team. Kitchen projects are stress inducing but C&K understood that and their experience helped keep things moving forward.

Cerletti and Kennedy did a great earthquake retrofit job for us. One thing that made them stand out is how great they followed up on fixing a problem. While working under our house, a phone line was accidentally broken. Matt, one of the owners, went to great lengths including paying a company to come out and replace the broken line. They are to be commended for standing up to the problem and fixing it without question.

I hired Cerletti and Kennedy for a Sunroom/Patio Enclosure. They were the only company I spoke to who offered reasonable solutions for the design, and flexibility if I decided to add something to the project later. They had expertise regarding the materials and design that were not mentioned when I spoke with other companies. When a part arrived that was damaged, they took care of it immediately and it did not even delay the project. And the project was completed exactly on budget. My sunroom is BEAUTIFUL, I am SO PLEASED! I highly recommend them!!!

We hired Cerletti & Kennedy this past summer (2023) to do a total remodeling of our outdated kitchen. We didn't have much space to work with but what they came up with was amazing. We enclosed the new refrigerator and built out the cabinet above which gave us more storage. We took out the old vent system which went all the way up to the ceiling and put in an over the stove microwave and cabinets which gave us a little more storage. We put in a pull out spice rack next to the stove and a lazy susanne next to that. We angled the corner cabinets which gave us yet more storage. We took out the dishwasher which we never used and put in a pull-out trash and recycling cabinet and extended to baking sheet cabinet. We had a Quartz countertop put in and installed a tile backsplash from the refrigerator all the way around the kitchen. Of course a new sink, garbage disposal and faucet. Our contractor, Ruben showed up on time and always cleaned up when he was done for the day. He always got right to work and set up his equipment. One thing I really appreciated was when Dante showed us that the open space on each side of the kitchen window was uneven (Feng Shuai) and recommended installing a curved 4 shelve piece so it would be more even. Ruben was also very helpful when ever an issue came up and would explain the issue and help come up with suggestions each time. Would I recommend Cerletti & Kennedy to my family and friends, MOST DEFINATELY! I only wish I could have attached some photos I took of the completed project but I don't see a tab to do so. If we decide to do a remodeling of our front bathroom, I will be calling them back. 100%.
