- Kitchen RemodelingWe’re so happy with the work Pace Builders did. We look at our new kitchen and realize that there’s not one thing that didn’t turn out perfect, or that we would change. As anybody who’s gone through a remodel knows, that is praise of the highest order. Peter Bazner, the owner, and Ernesto and Alejandro, the workers/craftsmen are professional, meticulous, hard-working, and helpful. They also have a great aesthetic sense. Many times, when we were faced with what seemed like endless choices of what materials to use or how to best utilize the space, they explained the options and helped guide us to the right choice (for us.) They were also very accommodating and worked with us on a schedule that had to be changed several times due to delayed delivery by the cabinet manufacturer and the countertop fabricators. WE TRUST AND RESPECT THESE GUYS AND WOULD HIRE THEM AGAIN IN A SECOND.
- Bathroom RemodelingOur job was an extensive remodel focusing mostly on kitchen and bathroom. Here’s the list of most of what was done...
- FlooringWe were pleasantly astonished at how well the work was finished. The new shower fixtures, new toilets, and new flooring were installed so well that it looked as though they had always been here in the house! It is easy to make new things look new and, honestly, somewhat out of touch with the rest of the house, but Peter, Alejandro, and Ernesto made the upgrades look entirely consistent with the rest of the house, which showed a level of professionalism that we greatly appreciated.

They replaced windows and did extensive dry rot removal, replaced the piping with copper, replaced much of the wiring, gutted and rebuilt the bathroom, did tile work in the shower and on the front steps, built a cute shed in the backyard, did extensive landscaping, painted inside and out and did many many other tasks.

- GuttersI have used Pace Builders for many years, and am more than happy to recommend them to my clients and friends. They did a remodel in my rental unit which consisted of new kitchen, new bathrooms, new hardwood floors, refinishing hardwood floors, changing out doors and more. They also installed a drainage system there which had been done twice before and failed. A year later the system they installed (without pumps!) works beautifully and has greatly improved the house. They have built a shed for me, done work on my roof where “french” gutters needed to be filled in and the eaves repaired. They have also done a variety of work for friends and clients – all whom have been happy with the company and, most importantly, the work.
- Garage Door Repair/ReplacementWe have a large two story home in Berkeley which has shingle siding. They prepared and painted the entire exterior including the shutters which had to have much preparation. After doing the shutters on site, they were unhappy with the results and they took them down to their shop and sanded them back to the original wood. There was also some rotted wood around the garage door and at the footing of several posts. They removed the damaged wood and replaced it and then painted that.
- SidingI have owned my house in Berkeley for 18 years and used several contractors for different projects over the years. In the past three years I have used Pace Builders for one big projects and one small one. The big project (split into two pieces) was re-siding my house. I needed to do this project because the old siding was so weathered that it did not hold paint and the house had a number of small leaks. Pace Builders was very thorough, pointing out dry rot when they found it and resolving several small leaks that previous contractors were not able to fix. They also replaced two windows that were severely rotted because they had not been installed properly by the previous contractors. The workmanship is very good. The cleanup is good. The employees show up on time and work hard all day. No sitting around drinking coffee, etc. Peter Bazner, the owner, was very good at communicating with us and offering recommendations about materials, etc.

- Residential Pressure WashingI needed to prepare a gorgeous, but tired, almost all redwood home in the Berkeley Hills. At the recommendation of someone I trust completely, I hired Pace to restore the home: interior redwood restored, floor refinishing, exterior redwood sealing, power washing, kitchen remodel, bath remodel, windows rebuilt, exterior stairs and decking replaced, wiring improvements, thorough cleaning at completion including extensive window washing of the large volume of windows. I’m sure I’m forgetting things. They did it all.
