I like his straight forward and forthright approach. He keeps it simple and well priced. He was my top contender until the quoted price was undercut by another trusted associate.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
We had a new bathroom put in at our rental property by Bernie Parent and Vern of Bernie Renovations. They did more work than expected but kept to the quoted amount which was less than anyone else. Our tenant said "The guys did a super job you will love it. The best contractors ever." From the pictures they sent of the bathroom it is beautiful. We are thrilled with the wonderful job they did!! Linda
Although we chose to have the install done by the company who sold us the product the prompt,professional and helpful dialogue that took place was very much appreciated. Bernie would have been our second choice
Bernie Parent did an amazing job in our bathroom. Highly recommend Bernie for any home repair or renovation.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
