I recently had Bernhardt Restoration handle mold remediation in my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The remediation specialists who came out were true professionals—they arrived on time, worked efficiently, and demonstrated a level of craftsmanship that is rare to find these days. Their workmanship was meticulous, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing the job was done right. Beyond just solving the problem, they showed respect for my home and my time, which made the entire process seamless. I will absolutely use Bernhardt Restoration again in the future and have no hesitation recommending them to anyone in need of mold remediation or bathroom restoration work. They are reliable, professional, and deliver results of the highest quality.

Absolutely outstanding. From the moment I reached out, this company was incredibly responsive — they got started on the job almost immediately and restored my entire basement within a week. And I didn’t make it easy on them: I had plenty of questions along the way, and they handled every one with patience, professionalism, and clarity. The owner and the entire crew were fantastic to work with — respectful, polite, and committed to doing the job right. They completed the initial work within a day, which blew me away. I never felt rushed or dismissed, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. These are the kind of people you hope to work with again. They’re reputable, experienced, and I would 100% recommend them to anyone, including my family—just a class act from start to finish.

Responded right away to my request for a service professional, and visited my house the next morning to check on my issue. Atilio, the owner, was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and helpful. Would highly recommend them for anyone needing restoration work.

They were prompt and thorough in clearing flood damaged furniture and drywall and cleaned everything before they finished. On removing the drywall we found 2 foundation cracks which needed repairing and they were able to recommend someone to fix it. The only problem I had with Bernhardt was that when they disconnected the TV and theater sound system, no one thought to take a picture or take notes. When questioned, I was assured by 3 people that they could put it back no problem. Sadly, this proved not to be the case and we had some trouble getting it all hooked up.

They were fantastic! Atilio came out within an hour and half after my call to check things out. He put odor neutralizer inside my furnace and around an outside door in the basement, and then his crew came on a Sunday morning to clean all my carpets and rugs. They did a great job and the house smelled much better afterward. It made a huge difference. I was impressed with their responsiveness, the quality of their work, how nice they were and their overall professionalism. For the extent of what they did I thought they had a very fair price. I recommend them highly and will definitely use them again.

Fantastic. Probably the best experience with a contractor or service company I have ever had. I have had other contractors perform work at our home that did a great job, but the experience with Bernhardt was simply as it gets. On time, on budget, excellent work and friendly. I have no relationship with this company and have been meaning to write a review for years.  I feel bad it took me this long to write a review since my experience was so good. It's a family operation and they really care about the job they do. A member of the family was on site everyday of the job.  I had them do another smaller job a couple years after the first job.  The experience was as good the second time as the first.

Atilio was onsite within five hours and has his crew out of there within 12 hours.  He kept checking up on equipment throughout cleanup and worked with insurance company to provide quotes for cleanup.  No mess good communicator, responsive.  You should definitely use this company for disaster cleanup.

I worked with Arianna and Matt and they were great. I would definitely call them back. I trusted them. They were really good about going over areas we could conserve a little bit.
