BRUCE BERGSTROM CONSTRUCTION

Bergstrom construction came out and initially did a bid. It took a few days before the bid came in. The cost was on point with the 2 other bids I received from other concrete contractors. I decided to go with Bergstrom due to their customer service and solution to the arbor post issue. Once I confirmed with the owner Bruce that I wished to proceed we set up a date to start. Unfortunately, a record heat wave hit Chico and Bruce stated he would not be able to pour concrete during the high temperatures. The following week I get a call on Sunday evening asking if they could start earlier than expected and come by the next morning. That wasn't a problem for me so I agreed.

• Monday morning they arrived around 9 am and began work. The guys that arrived worked cautiously around my landscaping and even moved a large section of gravel from an existing path to a new location (so I could use it elsewhere). After that was done, they remarked the patio area I wanted and used a bobcat to remove dirt and level the area. Then they formed the patio border and laid down a road base foundation and leveled that with the bobcat.

Tuesday morning they came back out and tamped down the foundation with a plate compactor and laid the steel cage for the patio, removed the existing post to the arbor, and set the new sleeve for the arbor post.
Friday was concrete pouring day. They arrived about an hour later than scheduled but got the patio poured and finished. In addition they made a concrete bench with the leftover concrete that they gave to us.
Over the weekend, I ended up placing the new arbor post in the new sleeve and attaching back to the arbor due to the heat and the fact that I had shade sails that I wanted to put back up.
Monday mid-day they returned to remove the forms and clean up the area around the patio. They left my yard clean and back the way it was prior to the job.
Overall I was very satisfied with Bergstrom construction and would definitely hire them for any future job.

My experience with him was fine. He is a good guy. He looked at the job that I wanted done and we talked about it for quite some time. He called back a couple of days later with a quote for the work. I had no problems with him at all; I would have hired him except that his price was higher than I was willing to pay. He seemed like a good guy and I would probably call him again and ask for another estimate on another job, but this particular job I decided I did not want to spend that much money.

Recommended by Keeling Construction. They came out within a week and provided an estimate. Finished the job at the exact same price - and my roof is STEEP!
