CFI Welcomes New Member Anthony Ferro of Baldwin Restoration
CFI welcomes new member Anthony Ferro of Baldwin Restoration. Baldwin Restoration is located in San Dimas, CA, and is a licenced contractor in the state of California.
Here is an excerpt from their website:
For nearly 23 years, Baldwin Construction has been building high quality structures. Founded in 2005 by Anthony Ferro and John Petrov they teamed back up since 1991 to form what is now the industry leader in Construction. Baldwin Construction has been on most of the major projects in and around Los Angeles. Baldwin has been built through the simple concept of Integrity. “This is our foundation”, we have seen too many clients get the run around by large contractors, and having their projects put aside. We have taken customer service to the next level, understanding what is needed, when, and on time. Here at Baldwin Construction we have take the guessing out of construction, over the years we have seen this industry tarnish the lives of the community, and now we are here to set the record, “We fix it right the first time”. We have worked on Hurricane Ike, and had firsthand knowledge of fly by night contractors, and the Large contractors taking advantage of the ones in need. Not anymore! We are Dedicated to building the client’s confidence from the beginning, and we won’t stop until we have achieved our goal, Customer Satisfaction.
Since 2005, Baldwin Construction has earned numerous recognition. Some of these include:
* Builders Architect 2007
* CertainTeed Master Builder 2008
* United States Green Building Counsel 2009
* Western Regional Master builders 2007
* Hospitality Design 2007
