"When Karen and I were searching for a builder for our home in Steamboat Springs, we were extremely fortunate to locate Pat Berka and his company, Colorado Professional Builders. For most people, building a house can be stressful; for us, Pat made it fun. Pat's prices were fair, and the work progressed on time and very close to budget. Pat never pushed us for any decision before it was absolutely necessary. When we needed guidance or had questions, Pat always had the answers or was able to direct us to others who could help find them. Pat and his employees were very pleasant to deal with, responsive to our requests, and attentive to our needs. When problems arose as they inevitably would, Pat was never flustered; he just worked through them, always confident that he could find a solution. In short, it was a real pleasure to work with Pat, and we are very proud of the results that he achieved.

Karen and I can not recommend Pat and his company strongly enough. We love to show people through our new home, so please call us if you would like a tour or if you have any questions about Pat and his company."

"This letter of recommendation has been provided to Pat Berka because of his company's excellent workmanship and business conduct constructing my new residence located at 27478 Brandon Circle, Heritage Park subdivision, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

There are several key areas in particular that were critical to our project: company leadership, communication, cost management, and construction expertise.

The success of any company is largely attributable to strong leadership. The success of Colorado Professional Builders is directly due to Pat's efforts and high standards. his professional attitude and work habits are shared by his construction supervisors and crew members, as well.

Pat proactively communicates with his clients on a frequent basis, which was particularly useful to me due to my ignorance and lack of experience with construction practices and processes. He executes what he says he will do in a timely manner, and coordinates the activities of his crews and subcontractors very effectively.

Project costs are managed in a professional manner. Pat prepares construction loan draw requests and tracks budget versus actual expenditures effectively utilizing Excel and Quicken software tools. He applies his knowledge and understanding of the business by advising which alternative construction methods and materials are most appropriate by considering the customer's objectives and constraints.

Pat's input from the design phase through completion has been valuable to ensure structural integrity and my enjoyment of the end product. My respect for Colorado Professional Builders is shared by others that I have dealt with, from the skilled labor employed directly by Pat to vendors and the quality of subcontractors employed through him.

In Summary, I recommend Colorado Professional Builders as a company dedicated to performing quality work and capable of meeting your expectations. Please contact me at (970)846-7270 if you would like to discuss further. "

Engineering Designworks, Inc.
"Pat Berka's "Colorado Professional Builders" finished Healing Hands Health Center, at 419 Oak Street, in March of 2001. We are very pleased with our finished product. In particular, the interior finishes exceeded our expectations. We continue to receive complements form the patrons of the center.

Pat was a pleasure to work with and his experience was very useful in making quick work of many decisions. We stayed on schedule, even through the uncertainties of a significant remodel. Our budget also stayed on course, which is possibly more remarkable. The subcontractors Pat employed made the effort to seek our approval of their choices, which brought the small details into the project smoothly, rather than as problems to be remedied.

I am a structural engineer and have seen Colorado Professional Builders work through several projects of varying scope, from custom residential homes to remodels and commercial buildings. I have found them to be quite capable in all their work. I would be happy to work with Colorado Professional Builders on future projects, and would recommend them to you for your project.

Thank you for you attention to these details. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions. "

"I recently completed construction of a twenty-three hundred square foot home in rural Steamboat Springs. Colorado Professional Builders (Pat Berka) played an integral role in seeing the project to fruition. CPB assisted with many of the project's organizational facets. Pat's professionalism, knowledge of the construction industry, and computer expertise made him an excellent construction manager and a valuable member of the team. Pat was also actively involved in most phases of the physical construction - everything from footers to finish work. I can say without reservation that CPB provides a worthy service and is absolutely capable of completing projects of significant scope with aplomb. "
