We paid Berman in September 2019 well before the pandemic, $18,000 for work on our front porch. It was incorrectly done. It failed to meet city requirements, even after they informed him of how it needed to to be done to pass the inspection. The inspector came out, and Berman’s work did not meet code. He failed to do waterproofing, the step, and cleaning up of the surrounding area correctly. We also paid $4,000 for our back deck to be replaced. After demolishing it without a proper permit, he refused to put it back up. And when he went to obtain a permit, the city said they will not agree until the front porch is completed correctly, or until he obtained a signed verification from another contractor to present to the city. He has not presented this to the city. (He chose to water proof on the inside when according to code it is supposed to be on the outside.) When asked for the letter he continues to stall and give excuses as to why he can’t come back to complete the work; including blaming us for needing the letter; and accusing us of somehow not allowing him to finish. That’s laughable. He has only himself to blame as he has not followed the city code for waterproofing. His work is unacceptable according to the city. The inspector said the only other option besides getting the other contractor’s letter-which is for Berman’s benefit, is to waterproof the wall correctly.) My family and I now have citations from the city to show up in court due to the incorrect work that Berman is not willing to fix on the front porch, and the back deck being torn down and not put up at all. He has been paid in full and should do the work in full and complete the work according to code.

I paid him good money to build me a new Island and add backsplash in my kitchen. To paint the entire interior of my home. To install a barn door in our lower level. To Finish and add stack stone to my fire place and do some exterior painting. He was supposed to finish in 4 - 5 weeks but abandoned the job after 9 weeks without finishing anything. After 7 weeks he painted all but 15' of my kitchen. This had to be done by Saturday of the 7th week because our flooring guy was starting Monday. They failed. They quit Saturday leaving the 15' unpainted and my wife had to paint the remaining 15' on Sunday. Installing a barn door in the lower level was on the bid which required lowering the header and adding trim to do so. This was his idea to do this but never installed the trim which looks terrible. Then tried to say adding to the header was extra work which I refused to pay for. Which is a lie. For the life of me I can't tell you how he would have done the job he bid on without doing this as the ceiling was too low to add the hardware. On the bid was installing handles on all of the cabinets in the home but he did only the cabinets in the kitchen leaving the cabinets in the bathrooms undone. On the bid he was supposed to paint the shudders and the exterior doors outside but only painted the shudders leaving the rest undone. While painting the house they took all of the switch plates off the walls, they removed the curtains and blinds form the windows and took pictures off the walls without putting anything back up. My wife and I had to do all of that. They destroyed our interior Koi pond and rock garden by dropping drywall dust and pieces of drywall in the pond and rock garden. They knocked off over half of the rock edging that was around the pond and their ladders damaged the expensive paint in the pond. The bid called for a "thorough cleaning" of the property when all work was done. This didn't happen. They did almost nothing to the fireplace before finally abandoning the job altogether when my wife pointed out that they were stacking the stone incorrectly. The rebuilt the kitchen island which was on the bid but did not put any trim on it as they were supposed to do leaving it unfinished. This after 9 weeks!
