Cardinal Construction, Inc. Comparative Summary

Construction companies are always looking for ways to discern themselves from their competition, and those that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award are already several steps ahead. In addition to its Diamond Certified status, Cardinal Construction, Inc. differentiates itself by implementing a unique estimation process that’s designed to provide clients with consistently accurate project estimates. “It takes us a little longer to submit a bid, but that extra time is worth it when we deliver on the estimate,” says co-owner Anthony Neto. “Also, if something unforeseen arises or the customer requests a change, we’ll stop and educate them on what’s happening. We’ll even give them the opportunity to seek other quotes if they don’t think our change order is fair.”

Cardinal Construction has been building, remodeling and restoring East Bay homes since 1983, handling everything from new construction and kitchen/bathroom remodeling projects to structural engineering and insurance restoration work. In order to offer the widest range of services possible, the company uses both architectural blueprints and CAD renderings when designing projects for customers. It’s also a cabinet dealer with long-standing relationships with several top manufacturers, including Wood-Mode, Elmwood, Medallion and Prestige.

Unlike design/build construction firms that insist on using their in-house architects and builders on every project, Cardinal Construction will work with customers’ own architects or designers if they prefer. “We can be full-service or we can just provide what the client wants,” explains Mr. Neto. “We’ve been in business for almost 30 years, so we know how to customize a project in terms of materials, options and designs. We bring our wealth of industry knowledge and experience to every job.”
