Bernier Building & Remodeling, Inc — Custom Renovation in Milford, CT
Jason Bernier founded this Milford firm in 1999 and still handles every project personally, from first contact through completion. That operating model, with the principal directly involved in each job, is what distinguishes Bernier Building from higher-volume operations where a project manager fields most client contact. The firm works in the mid-to-high-end residential market across Fairfield, New Haven, and Middlesex counties, with typical projects running from $150,000 to over a million dollars. They have been named Best General Contractor of Milford by the National Chamber of Commerce three separate times.
Services
- Kitchen remodeling: Full gut-and-rebuild kitchen projects with custom cabinetry, structural modifications, and high-specification finish work. Bernier manages tight trade sequencing on these projects so that timelines do not slip between demolition, rough-in, drywall, and installation phases.
- Bathroom remodeling and additions: Complex wet room renovations, primary suite additions, and bonus room conversions. Projects in Milford’s coastal neighborhoods regularly involve pre-work assessment for asbestos and moisture remediation before finish trades can begin.
- Room additions and dormers: Structural additions including second-floor dormers and attached garage conversions that change the home’s footprint. The firm handles zoning, engineering coordination, and permitting across Milford and the surrounding towns.
Service area
Milford, New Haven, Stratford, Fairfield, Orange, and the broader Fairfield and New Haven county corridor.
Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews
Boutique firms like Bernier occupy a specific market position: above the quality range of production builders, but more accessible and accountable than large commercial GCs. For homeowners undertaking a $200,000 renovation where one person needs to manage the full scope from design through punch list, a firm running five to eight active projects at a time is structurally better suited than a high-volume shop managing 25 contracts simultaneously. Three Chamber awards across different years reflect consistent performance rather than a single exceptional year.
