We are absolutely delighted with the job Bennett did for us which involved: gutting an upstairs bathroom, replacing wallpaper with paint, which required new drywall, redoing the electrical wiring so we had an additional outlet, removing the old bathtub, redoing the plumbing, installing a new walk in shower with tiled walls and sliding glass door, new shower-head and grab bars, a tiled alcove shelf, ripping out the old vanity and replacing it with a new one, new mirrored bathroom cabinet, new tiled floors, painting, new lighting, new fixtures and more. Every stitch of the job was done with extreme professionalism and courtesy and alacrity by Adam Squires, who is a one man miracle maker. He consulted with us every step of the way, offered advice when we needed it, and had an eye for design to boot. We give our highest possible recommendation for the company and Adam.Tony and Sarah were also wonderful. They listened, and turned our dream into reality. Sarahs suggestions for design were invaluable.
Leland and his crew were terrific. Probably the most pleasant experience we have ever had with contractors. They changed siding, which involved a few fixes like replacing a beam, installing support post, etc. Two things stand out. First, the quality of work is outstanding. These guys pay attention to details and make sure that everything is done right. Second, they respect your property. Every day everything was meticulously cleaned up. They would even blow the leaves off our front yard (the work was done in October-November). I would certainly consider Bennet for our next home improvement project.
I have used many different contractors over the years for minor repairs and installations to complete custom house construction and have experienced first hand the unexpected problems that can occur in this field. Having someone who is knowledgable and reliable to deal with these events means everything in my opinion. Steve (Bennetts project manager) and his crew were exceptional in their handling of a recent shower renovation in a master bathroom. Steve made timely and regular contact throughout the process from initial estimate to final cleanup and made it a much smoother and less stressful experience than it might have been. First, the install date was moved up from April 22 to December 21 and that put it in the midst of an already busy time. Second, he helped manage the inevitable problems with supplies, job crews and house disruptions with great professionalism and skill. He has a great crew working for him. I would recommend Bennett Contraction for future jobs. They are worth the price.
I used Bennett Contracting, LLC to transform my 1960 childhood home into 2021. I cannot say enough good things about EJ, Sarah, Jason, Chris A, Chris H and Bob P. They moved walls, installed floors, sanded and refinished wood floors, replaced all the trim and doors, designed and built a state of the art new kitchen with an open concept and completely renovated a full bath and half bath, updated the plumbing in the basement, all during a pandemic.The crew was so professional and easy to deal with. The pride that they showed in their work was evident when I visited and they would stop what they were doing to show me all the progress. I found their suggestions always had my best interest at heart. Any issues I had, were always addressed with a smile and sure, well do that! I could not be happier with how that house turned out. The attention to detail is stunning. Thank you EJ, our project manager, for guiding us through this process so effortlessly. Thank you, Sarah for all the design expertise, it is gorgeous! Thank you, Jason our Lead Carpenter extraordinaire, your heart and soul is in that house and it shows.And last buy not least Joe H , service manager, you get 5 stars!!
My wife and I contracted Bennett to replace a tile floor and outdated lighting throughout our home. They sent Adam Squires to do the work, and we were very impressed with both the quality of the work and the timelines that he maintained. He communicated clearly with us every day regarding when he would be there, and what he would accomplish each day. He was always on time, and completed each milestone when he said he would. He also took the time to lay out drop cloths along the flow paths where he needed access and set up plastic barriers in the right places to keep any mess contained to the area where he was working. He also went above and beyond in looking at our entry way awning and pointing out a pretty serious issue that existed before we moved in, and didn’t turn up in our inspection, saving us money in the long run by dealing with the problem before it caused a much bigger issue. By the time he left, we didn’t need to do any extra sweeping, vacuuming, cleaning, etc. Adam left our home as clean, and maybe even cleaner than when he first arrived.When we have additional projects in our home, we will certainly be calling Bennett again, and we will ask for Adam Squires by name. We have never had a more pleasant experience with any contractor to date.
Cant say enough good things about Bennetts work so far. Had them install slider, paint and put new flooring in my sunroom, and the place is transformed. Josh and Perry, who did the door were professional and quick. Jesus, who did the painting and installation of new luxury vinyl plank floor, is great. Showed up early, worked hard all day, was always ready and willing to answer questions or work with us on whatever we needed. Looking forward to him and the Bennett team replacing my wood deck with Trex this spring. Should also give huge shoutout to Steve Shanholtz, my project manager, who is great to deal with, responds quickly and has excellent recommendations. Highly recommend.
We have been using Bennett for over 20 years and they have always provided excellent work, quality, trust and professionalism. Our recent front door installation was handled in a first class manner by Josh and Perry. Project support from Bryan and George was exceptional. Highly recommended!!
I recently had a door and window installed by Bennett Contracting. Right from the start they were professional, on time and curtious. Josh and Perry were excellent, very curtious, asked if I had any questions, explained how to clean them and the window looks great they also cleaned up after themselves and even took a little time to play with my dog. I highly recommend them and Bennett contracting
Arthur worked on a basement project, really turning a sows ear into a silk (ish) purse. He was fantastic--on time, kep tthings tidy. really knew what he was doing. And our painter remarked on the excellent dry wall taping that he did.We also had windows installed recently by Josh and Perry. Such pleasant and competent workers. They did the job efficiently and stayed to complete it when there was a little more to be done even thought it was quitting time. They always kept things clean and were careful maneuvering in tight spaces where the windows were located.Arthur, Josh and Perry also were very kind and patient with our barking somewhat unfriendly dog (hes just noisy).We really appreciate the work these caring people did to improve our home.
Update 4/11/2022:We used Bennett again because they were so great the first time. We were not disappointed. We needed a set of outdoor stairs replaced, removed two storm doors, and replaced them with two storm doors and interior doors. Tony, who took initial measurements and managed communications throughout, was the only person from our first experience that we worked with again; he was really good then, and hes still got it. He listens closely to the needs of the project, and is very thorough in explaining an estimate. We tried out a couple of different options on paper before we had a signed contract last fall, and I appreciate his time in this process.We were told wed be looking at an end of spring timeframe, so end of May or early June-ish. Tony reached out to say he had the manpower and materials ready early, and offered to do the job early -- we were excited to accept. Josh, Toby and Rudy showed up well within the promised time frame on Monday last week. They had everything they needed, including permits, and got to work. Josh was in charge, and kept me updated every day with what had been done, and the plan for the following day. Toby and Rudy, younger guys, were equally professional and polite. The job took three and a half days, and they handed me door keys last Thursday.We all have heard the old adage, good, fast or cheap, pick two. I feel Bennett picks good twice. They book out a little longer than Id wish, and Im sure I could save a small amount if I shopped around, but everyone at Bennett shows up when theyre supposed to, maintains great communication and is professional. They use quality materials, and the job is done right the first time. Its so easy working with them.We will be using Bennett again for our next project.----------------My wife and I used Bennett Contracting to redo our entire main bathroom. As this was our first major home renovation, we didnt know what to expect, as weve heard horror stories of contractors that were terrible for one reason or another. From initial contact with Josh, through the estimate and regular communication from Tony, assistance with design from Justina, and to the actual labor from Mark, Sammy and Bob, everyone from Bennett was professional, courteous, and pleasant to work with. Our bathroom looks better than my wife and I had originally imagined it, and costs were clearly outlined ahead of any work, so there were no surprises.The most striking thing about working with the team at Bennett was when Mark showed up on day one of demolition (bright and early, by the way), and let us know that he was happy to work for Bennett. It sounds like they treat their employees well, and thats a big part of why their crew works so hard and so well at what they do. Although Mark (who did the bulk of the work) was phenomenal, I get the feeling that the rest of the crew takes pride in their craft as well. I will definitely be using Bennett Contracting again for future projects for years to come.
Fortunately Bennett was more reliable than I am with reviews. I am more than pleased with this company, right from the estimator Anthony, the head contractor Chris and his assistant Andrew to each person I came in contact with. Basically Bennett built a house on a house. I added a second floor with three bedrooms and a bath which included skylights and a fireplace. The professionalism and quality of work was incredible. They made sure things were done as I wanted and offered suggestions about things that I hadnt thought of. There were no delays due to weather, vacations or illness. The work was completed in the time frame that was given to me on the contract. I cant say enough good things about this company......and you get what you pay for!!!! Thank you
This project was a difficult structural repair of rotted wood on an outdoor “long house”. I was not sure if I could find someone to fix the rotted structural posts. Steve came over and reviewed and recommended Tom. Tom is a master craftsmen and artist in wood. They did an incredible job which I did not believe could be done!!
Our kitchen has been transformed from a 1980s one to a beautiful, up to date 21st century version. Tony and Justina were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and patient as we planned the project. Heath, our master craftsman, did an amazing job- he widened a door opening, completely changed the kitchen footprint, took out a closet, sheet-rocked, painted, installed our new floor and lighting.. the list goes on and on. He was always on time and so very respectful of us. We can not say enough about how pleased we are with the process and results and recommend Bennett Contracting 100%.
Bennett Contracting, LLC built a new front porch on my hojme. I was not expecting them until next spring, but they were able to get it done by the end of October. I am extremely pleased with the end result. The contractors were knowledgeable about the job, efficient with their work, and cleaned up at the end of the day. I will definitely work with them again for other projects and have recommended them to several people.
We recently had a second project completed by Bennett (installation of another bathroom). We were pleased with the outcome of the first project (see comment below) and delighted with the results of the second. They have earned a high rating based on the quality of work and the professionalism of the staff. The work orders were clear and each workday started with a summary of anticipated activities to be completed that day. There were a few interruptions that were outside of Bennett’s control (delay from the manufacturer in shipping fixtures and an unexpected drain issue). However, Bennett’s team worked through these issues for a successful project completion. We strongly endorse Bennett.[Comment below on initial project]This is a note of appreciation to the team at Bennett’s for the recent complete bathroom renovation that was done at our home. We are very pleased with the results and wanted to highlight the knowledge and expertise of everyone involved. Given that this work was done during the COVID pandemic, everyone from Bennett wore masks and respected social distancing. We felt comfortable that everyone took this seriously. We would be happy to work with Bennett’s again on future projects.
We gutted and remodeled our bathroom. Bennett employee John did an awesome job. He paid attention to details and made sure it was done right (behind the walls and with the finished furnishings). He was always on time and treated our home with care, making sure to protect our stairs and wood floors before beginning the work each day and cleaning up at the end of the day. when it was done it felt like we were in a fancy hotel bathroom. we couldnt be happier.
Bennett replaced 2 decks on my house and from start to finish I was well informed throughout and they truly care about the experience. Joe and Justin did excellent work and were very professional, nice and helpful. They were always on time and kept us in the loop every step of the way. They really care about their work and it shows in the finished product! High quality! Thanks so much!! Ed
Kevin, Dave, & Steve at Bennett Contracting were AMAZING! We desperately needed our front steps railings replaced & they quickly responded to our need! Every team member we came in contact with was professional, understanding, and came through with every promise they made! The job was done quickly, without any burden on us, & they came out beautiful! We are grateful for the high quality materials & the hard work put into making our railings look their best! We still get compliments on the railings- we 100% recommend Bennett Contracting!
I recently had the opportunity to work with Kevin and his team providing a service to Bennett Contracting. He was unbelievably professional, what impressed me is that he took the time to ask the right questions, and really cared about our process and how we could best assist him. He cares about his business and the direction that its going. I have to assume that what ever service he and his team perform for his clients has the same care, determination, and attention to detail.
As soon as Bennett came to size the remodeling of our kitchen, we knew we were in good hands. They quickly understood what we wanted, making suggestions to help us achieve our goals and to save money. Their cost & timing estimates were spot on. Their management team was easily accessible through out the job, and efficiently facilitated solutions whenever a problem came up.Our designer offered opinions & preferences, but also listened to what we wanted – something designers & decorators don’t always do. Backed by Bennett’s years of experience and knowledge of current trends, we felt confident in our design choices.Bennett’s team was professional & a pleasure to work with. From stripping wallpaper to tiling a complicated backsplash, they treated our kitchen as if it were their own. Their superior craftsmanship and attention to detail resulted in a remodel that exceeded our expectations. They updated us with progress reports & pictures when we were not on the job. They made sure we were satisfied at every stage, accommodating any changes we asked for. We could not have asked for more!Bennett will be our first phone call as we have additional home improvement projects. As customers, we could not be happier. We HIGHLY recommend using Bennett to anyone looking for a contractor.
We hired Bennett to completely gut and remodel our kitchen. Their quote was competitive with other companies and we did not run into “extra charges” like many companies add on (especially for such a large project).I truly think we had a power team of EJ, Justine, and Joe. EJ was our project manager and VERY responsive for any questions we had. It is obvious he takes his job very serious and truly cares about the customer (which is often hard to find in the contract world). Justine was our designer and created a gorgeous plan. She always gave great advice when we were indecisive about some of the fine details. And lastly but definitely not least was Joe. Joe was hands down the best contractor we have ever had. He was very professional, clean, and had great attention to detail. We never felt that he was rushing or cutting corners to get to the next job. At the same time we were doing our kitchen, we also had numerous outdoor contractors working on another major project ... and Joe blew them out of the water in terms of his work and dedication. I wouldn’t want anyone else in the future except Joe - he was phenomenal.Thank you Bennett for giving us our dream kitchen and being so professional along the way!
We have had numerous windows (almost all the ones in our house) replaced by Bennett over the years. The company also did some more-involved construction that involved building a dormer and installing its windows. We have been happy with the quality of all the work.We recently sought a bid from Bennett on a new job. In the process, we showed the Bennett rep (Tony) some hardware from a previous job (8-10 years ago) that we felt could have been better. He saw our point, and offered to provide improved hardware to make sure we were satisfied. Sure enough, a few weeks later we received a small package in the mail from Tony, containing the new hardware. I easily installed it today.In my experience, this company goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction.
Leland and his crew did an excellent job installing new siding on our house and sealing our windows with new flashing and tape to correct a chronic leaking problem. They were always prompt, friendly, courteous and professional. They communicated well on all aspects of the job and addressed any concerns we had. They suggested a number of nice touches that improved the appearance of the final project and went beyond what we expected them to do. They cleaned up after themselves every day. All-in-all the completed project was first rate and we would recommend their work to anyone.We can only give five stars, but if we could give ten stars we certainly would.
Superior workmanship in all the trades. We trust them 100%. We’ve employed them 3 times in the last two years and would not hesitate to bring them into our home again. It’s rare to have a contractor work in your home and not feel stressed. We hardly know they are there. They are problem solvers too. Two of our jobs involved professional evaluation. In one instance we employed Bennett to solve our problem of freezing pipes in the winter, in our new construction home. The builder made several attempts to solve the problem to no avail. Bennett came in to physically evaluate the problem. Then they met with other Bennett team members and developed a well thought out 3 step solution.Bennett came highly recommended by a friend and also a neighbor. We are so pleased to have a contractor we can turn to when needed.
Bennett Contracting has completed two projects in our home. We had our master bath done last year and new flooring and backsplash done this year. We are so happy with the work. Sarah is extremely helpful with design and color options. She helped us pick out tile, flooring and paint and answered many questions. EJ is great to work with. He handled both of our projects. We cant say enough great things about Joe! He does fabulous work! Shout out also to Chris who did our backsplash. He did meticulous work. We recommend Bennett for whatever your remodeling needs are.
Bennett installed 27 replacement windows and we could not be happier. We bought an old farm house and have had service professionals working on our house non-stop over the last year, Bennett was the most professional and simply a pleasure to work with. From receiving an estimate to scheduling to installation they provided great customer service. We will definitely use them again!
We used Bennett for a punch list of indoor projects from installing a medicine cabinet to miscellaneous finish carpentry to drywall, light electrical and painting. They also widened our garage door which involved removing and reinstalling stone face after replacing the header and coordinating the installation of the new garage door. Tony, our estimator and project manager, did a fantastic job in helping us plan and budget. All the guys on the job: Kyle, Josh and Travis were great! Quality workmanship, efficiently executed represented tremendous value. The job site was always kept neat and tidy. We are already planning our next project. We would highly recommend Bennett without reservation for any and all home improvement projects.
We couldn’t have asked for a better team for our kitchen and powder room. Steve did a great job project managing and keeping tabs on the budget. Justina was a perfect match for us. She fully saw our vision and guided us to exactly the design we had in mind. There were so many times she talked us off the ledge when we were having second thoughts about our choices, but she talked us down, reassured us that it was going to look fabulous, and she couldn’t have been more right! Tony went above and beyond every day he was at our house; there is nothing he can’t do. He always explained everything to us thoroughly and in a way that we can understand. He was incredibly helpful and kind even when we had questions for him outside of work hours. Tom is truly an artist. His attention to detail is so impressive (especially, with a 100 year old + home) and he executed every request we had. He did a fantastic job honoring the history of the home in his work and we are really grateful for the stellar job he did. Not to mention his patience, promptness and incredible work ethic. Chuck was so much fun to work with; he brought a wonderful energy to the worksite and was able to do the impossible with our tilework—it’s really one of the focal points of the kitchen. Our team did such a fantastic job, our guest rave about the design and the workmanship, the quality really shows through and we are so thankful that we were able to work with our team. Paying the slightly higher premium for a good team and quality far outweighs the alternative. You will not regret hiring Bennett to help you. Thank you for making our dreams become a reality!!
I cant praise Bennett Contracting enough. My husband and I had a house fire in November 2019 and the entire house had to be remodeled. The moment we spoke to Steve Shanholz, we had a feeling we were in good hands.Steve and his team helped rebuild our home and the final product is better than anything we could have ever envisioned. In addition to doing great work, Steve and his team are just good people. It took several months to rebuild our home (and in a pandemic!) and they were always efficient, trustworthy, patient, passionate, gracious - the list goes on.If youre considering hiring a contractor, go with Bennett. You will not be disappointed.
We have used Bennett for many years for multiple projects. Their work is outstanding in every way. Their estimates are fair, and their quality of work top-notch. They show up when they say they will, and clean up after each day. Difficult for me to imagine ever going with a different firm.
I highly recommend Bennett Contracting. After being ghosted by several people during the past year, I was pleasantly surprised by the courtesy, honesty, and the professionalism of this company. I worked with Steve Drozdyk on a project I was considering doing. Steve and the specialist, Tom, he sent to discuss my project responded quickly, immediately scheduled an appointment, and showed up when they said they would. They both gave me an honest assessment, which led to a decision to not do the work because the changes I wanted would not have been done to code. I was very impressed with this honest feedback. If you are planning a home remodel, call them first. Loretta Malta
We have worked with EJ and team from bennett contracting on replacing our front door and interior doors and will be using them this spring/summer to replace our deck. we absolutely love the work that they do, as well as their professionalism! We had them in our house for about a week doing work- and Justin was extremely professional, kind to my super interested kids, and took all covid precautions. And best of all we LOVE our new doors. they look amazing and were installed perfectly.
Initially, we met with project manager, Tony Cicchino and project designer Sarah McDonald . We had more meetings and planning with Sarah . We found her pleasant to work with and she had ideas without being pushy. When it was time to select appliances and flooring, she met us at those business locations and together we met with the sales staff. Besides emails, we met with Sarah about 4 times at our home and her office. We enjoyed working with her and benefitting from her experience, Our only other contact with Tony was an issue with a cabinet with a lazy susan that that was resolved with a lowering of cost to remedy the the issue. Once the work began, the primary installer was Adam Squires.Adam was on site for about 6 weeks. He was at our house most days, at least 8 hours, sometimes more. Adam was a hard worker with quality skills and an eye for detail. He worked alone a majority of the days, unless an assist from a man named David, who helped with the painting and wall paper removal. We are retired, so my wife and I were home most days and we found him easy to be around while he worked. Adam kept the work area clean, which we appreciated. When we had questions or concerns, Adam was happy to discuss and sometimes offered alternative suggestions. This is the second time we have used Bennett Contracting. Overall, we were pleased with the renovation and recommend them highly.
Bennett is very professional. Vinny did a superb job remodeling our kitchen. We are so happy with the awesome job he did. I admire his meticulous work and cleaning up daily after himself. We have used Bennett many times before and are always happy with the job they do. I would highly recommend them.
Got my windows done last December and couldn’t be happier. Windows snugged the place up and they look great. I’m new to the area and did quite a bit of homework gathering estimates and recommendations before choosing Bennett. They came highly recommended from a few folks at work and on Nextdoor. The estimator laid out the range of window options and helped guide me to the best fit for my budget and goals (balance of nice clean look, comfort and price/value). Price and warranty were unmatched. Timelines were clearly communicated and executed. Our carpenters, Moose and Bobby, were excellent craftsman. I worked from home while they did the work and they were respectful of both our home and work situation. Thanks again! Happy to provide a reference for anyone that needs it.
We hired Bennett Contracting to replace our second story deck and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product! When we watched them tear down our old deck we were shocked how poorly built it was. This was contrasted starkly by the way the crew from Bennett built. They cut no corners and built us a fortress of a deck! I didn’t realize just how much was included in their estimate until I saw the quality of their work. Their price was a steal when you think of how much more work and materials went into our new deck compared to our old one! As a note for anyone currently shopping for a contractor, I hired Bennett just before the COVID lockdown and experienced some serious delays between social distancing orders and supply back orders. It’s definitely tough right now to get a big project like ours done, but Bennett didn’t forget about us and they ended up being worth the wait. So, I definitely suggest being patient and picking someone who will do the project right!
Super professional, prompt, and high quality work. Sam, the sub-contractor who did the majority of the in-home work (finishing a bonus room) was friendly and thoughtful. The final product was excellent and reflects very positively on Bennett Contractings business overall. Will definitely use them again for future jobs.
Bennett recently rebuilt my back deck. They tore out the old one and installed a beautiful new one in its place.Im very pleased with every aspect of the project. Timely and courteous communication, fast work, and quality materials. My new deck is beautiful, will last for years, and was finished in two days. Highly satisfied, will definitely be using Bennett again for future projects!
The Reps from Bennett Contracting are Professional, and reliable. We worked with project Manager Tony, and he was always available and helpful. His input was appreciated in converting our covered deck into a full year round usable addition to our home.The workers, Mark and Sammy, went above and beyond in their service to us with both mask wearing/staying 6 feet in social distancing after the reopening of their phase of Covid safety, and in not only tolerating our 3 dogs, but being friendly and helpful in letting them in and out of the house when they would exit, but never letting them out of our fenced in yard.Their work ethic showed throughout the job. Theyre work was clean and consistent. The finished product is lovely and I cant wait for furniture to be delivered to our new room so we can spend some great time in the room they made part of our home. Thanks so much.~Maureen Bradford
Bennett completed a kitchen remodel, which included fully demolishing the existing kitchen, taking down a wall, and all new everything. My kitchen went from small, dark and cramped, to open, bright and beautiful. The process of working with Sarah and EJ to come up with the floor plan and design was fun. And the work, which was primarily completed by Joe, is simply beautiful. Joe kept a tidy job site and was a consummate professional. He did a beautiful job with some tough fixes, including matching new hardwood floors with existing, and some tricky electrical issues. The finished project is a really beautiful and functional space. I will definitely go to Bennett for future projects.
We paid over 20 thousand for them to replace the rotting trim around our house. They painted over most of it and we couldnt tell until a year later when the paint began to peel. Now Im doing it myself and we wasted 20 thousand dollars. After I found out what they did, their contact Paul wouldnt even come out to look at it. Still considering legal action.Yeah, we hired you to replace the rotten wood, not paint over it. The paint was peeling off within a year because rotten wood does not hold paint. The work was NOT done, please refrain from saying so. We did not pay you over 20,000 to paint over the rotten wood, we paid you to REPLACE it. You did NOT do so.
Joe and Chris came on time and were very professional. They converted a garage door opening to a window. They built in the picture window and finished the outside with siding. The picture window was sealed and weatherproofed. Not only was the work excellent, their estimate was well below other contractors. I got exactly what I wanted under budget. I look forward to working with them on other projects in the future.
We secured a kitchen remodeling project with Bennett Contracting pretty much right before the pandemic hit. Things were obviously put on hold for a while but they kept in contact with us throughout this time. This was the first major remodeling project that we have done and I must say EJ and Sarah really helped to guide us through it as there were so many decisions to be made. Once the renovation began, we were extremely pleased with the professionalism and workmanship from Jason who was assigned to our project. We were impressed with his varied skillset. We also introduced some “scope changes” to our project and it was never an issue for them to accommodate our requests. We couldn’t be happier with our new kitchen and wouldn’t hesitate to rely on Bennett’s for future projects.
We have been extremely happy with Bennett Contracting. They put in 9 replacement windows for us over a year ago. Their responsiveness, honesty and professionalism have been exceptional. The estimate, the work, and response to questions have always been top notch. Jeff, came recently to repair one window which was not working quite correctly. He checked all of the windows and was very thorough. Additionally, we had some handyman work done (different department). This work was, also, good. The handyman department is a little more expensive as we had plumbing , electrical and other work done. It adds up, but having specialists come in and do each of these jobs would have been more expensive. Last of all we had an estimate for some work we decided we couldnt afford. Still, Bennett gave us good advice and a fair price.
There are not enough nice words to describe Bennett Contracting, Tony, and Heath. We recently hired Bennett to renovate both of our restrooms to ADA compliance. They sent one person, and I thought it would take forever. He managed to get everything done in 3 weeks, keeping one restroom open at all times. We start early here, but he was waiting in the parking lot for us every morning. He worked all day, every day. He was very nice about doing quieter work while we had programs in the adjoining room. There are over 20 employees here, but he answered questions from anyone. We made some changes, as the work progressed. No problem: change order was done, signed, and changes were added seamlessly. He was pleasant and polite and had the best work ethic I have ever encountered. He did a great job, under difficult circumstances, and managed to get it all done in a timely fashion. And, he cleaned up after himself everyday. I would not hesitate to hire Bennett again for any project.
Weve used Bennett Contracting for a number of remodeling projects since 2004 and are consistently pleased with the professionalism and skill of their craftsmen. Projects have included two bathroom remodels, siding and roof replacement, dining room wall removal, creation of a main-floor laundry room/bathroom, new Trex deck installation, and porch update.
We had 10 replacement windows put in my moms house. From my first phone call with Bennett, I was pleased. They communicated/coordinated well and were very competitive in pricing with other window installers. Their workers were pleasant and efficient. Very happy with it all.
Jeff B. and Tony S. just completed home repair of both garage and basement leaks, the latter occurring 14 hours before I was supposed to travel internationally. Needless to say I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Perhaps what I most valued...Already fixing my garage, Jeff stepped up without my asking to offer him and Tony to monitor and fix the basement in my absence. Was an immediate relief. With both repairs, they were totally professional--responsive to all questions and otherwise communicated well, timely and thorough, and cleaned up each day. I know almost nothing about house repairs etc., and they made what was for me a stressful situation go as easy as it could possibly go. I thank them both. Ive previously used Bennett for smaller projects, and went directly to them for this situation, no shopping around, as I knew I could trust the quality of their work. While costs may be a bit higher, the comfort of knowing the situation will be properly fixed with minimal time on my part made my decision easy.
I have tried many contractors over the years and in every case, Ive been disappointed and ripped off. Id heard good things about Bennett Contracting but for whatever reason, never called them. My daughter used them for window replacement and just raved about their quality of work and professionalism. I gave them a call to replace an old bow window, install a front storm door and repair some siding that had come off during a harsh winter 2 years ago. Bennet was the ONLY contractor that called me back, gave me a reasonable estimate and did the job in a reasonable amount of time. Now, I know a lot of reviews speak of their high prices. I did not feel that their prices were too high. They were about the norm. The crew that had come out and did the work was awesome. They took pride in every detail of their work. They were pleasant, respectful, and really know their trades well. They dont cut corners. Im so pleased with the work that they did and knowing that its all guaranteed gives me a sense calm. Their professionalism shown brightly from the first phone call, estimates, punctuality, and the high level of skill and quality work was stellar. I will definitely use them again.
Contracted Bennett for new siding and we werent disappointed, they did a excellent job. EJ, Bryan and Bill and his crew were great to work with, the crew worked hard, they were polite and friendly to us and are neighbours and almost every day we are receiving compliments on how nice our house looks. I would definitely recommend Bennett for any home i
A few years ago we had Bennett replace all of our windows. The crew worked diligently to repair water damaged frames and sills before installing new windows, and did the job quickly and cleanly. Years later (and outside our original warranty date) when we noticed some ant activity in one of the windows we called Bennett again. They came promptly, identified the problem, repaired the window frame and even got rid of the ants for us! All at a reduced price because they couldnt be sure their work from all those years earlier hadnt contributed somehow to the issue. I never asked for a discount or suggested it was their responsibility. Ants are ants and find their way in sometimes in spite of best efforts! But Bennett chose to go the extra mile for us. I dont know any contractor that would be that honest and work with a client to resolve an issue like ours at their own expense! We were fans of Bennett before - but now were telling all our neighbors and friends that theyre the company to use for any and all renovations or repairs! Way to go Bennett!
Really, a tremendous experience from start to finish. Bennett stripped and completely rebuilt two bathrooms, and added a bedroom and bathroom as an addition. The process was efficient, and the quality is outstanding. There was excellent communication between us, the work crew, and the Bennett office. No surprise extras, and no disappearing work crews as seems to happen so often with renovations. I cant recommend the company enough.
My husband and I hired Bennett Contracting to remodel our full and half bathroom. We bought an older home in Delmar and our bathroom left us without a tub with a baby on the way! During our initial walk through Kevin was very knowledgeable and professional and really listened to what we were hoping to accomplish with our projects. An accurate quote was provided and any questions we had were answered promptly. Justina accompanied us to pick out the design elements of our bathrooms and helped make the overwhelming choices very easy! Our head contractor was Joel and we were so happy with his work. Joel went above and beyond with how clean he kept his workspace and our home during the project. I was very concerned with paint fumes, dust, etc. while pregnant but Joel took every precaution. He worked efficiently and my husband and I were in awe of his attention to detail, especially with our floor and wall tiling. We absolutely love our new bathrooms (and the baby is happy to have her tub!) and we cannot wait to bring Bennett Contracting back into our home to remodel our kitchen.
Recently I needed emergency repair of my severely damaged living room ceiling (due to a sudden water pipe leak) and Bennett Contracting Company came to my rescue. From my first contact with EJ at the office service department to Jeff, the contractor who completed the work, every contact was highly professional and dedicated to providing quality service. Jeff did an outstanding job. He arrived on time, had an array of the proper materials and tools to do the job, worked carefully and efficiently to preserve the wallpaper, removed a propeller fan in order to do a thorough job (reinstalling it at the end of the project), and had a an impressive eye for detail. He also tested the paint for lead, deep cleaned my rug, and completely removed any debris, cleaning thoroughly. And, he was respectful and very pleasant to work with throughout the project and answered any questions I had, including giving some ideas for a closet renovation Im planning. I highly recommend Bennett Contracting for highly professional and skilled workmanship and dedicated service.
I wanted to send Bennett a note regarding the design staff and the field staff. The measurements and templates your staff provides us, consistently, are always right on. Your field guys are always a pleasure to work with and are always happy to help in any way possible. We don’t see that positive attitude and company value very often in a business that size. I wanted to quickly send you a note to let you know how much all of us here at Alexander Butcher Block and Blackfly Mountain woodworks like working with Bennett.
From the estimate visit and good project advice from George G. to the professional,technically excellent and well organized daily work of Dave C.,everything about our bathroom project went very well. This is not our first home project with Bennett and would recommend them enthusiastically. Pat and George W
Bennett installed vinyl siding on my house, which included removing the old shake shingles. The job also included installing new front porch decking, replacing a handful of exterior electrical outlets, installing a new driveway flood light, replacing a few additional exterior lights, installing a couple smart (on/off) electrical switches and a few new rain gutters. It was a pretty big job, to say the least... and Im happy with all of it. They are real pros. Im very glad I went with them. I can be pretty critical of people I hire to do work, and I have nothing but good things to say about them and the work they did.
Bennett Contracting is an excellent company to work with. Their service and professionalism in the home contracting business is top notch. They helped me in every regards to stay within my budget, but also delivered incredible top end product for the price. They built an incredible large and spacious back deck for our pool. The workers were very cheerful and the salesmen didn’t give the impression that they were working only for commission. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor to do home improvement projects.
I have had Bennett Contracting do numerus jobs for us over the years and have been more than happy with the work that they do. All the people that come to the house to do the work have been such a pleasure to talk to and work with. They all seem very knowledgeable about the service that is being provided. I would highly recommend they for you home improvement needs or to repair something around the home
I had 4 windows replaced. The house is an older one. The windows were special sizes. From beginning to end they were wonderful. Completely clean from beginning to end. The gentleman were professional and very pleasant to deal with. While here, I expressed some other concerns, and they helped me fix the problems so winter would be a little more pleasant. I can say enough about the job they did. The best compliment is return business, and they will be comming back in spring to do more. This is a wonderful company. They return calls quickly. They explain everything,A stick to what they say...
Just had an exterior door and a separate storm door replaced. Bennett was always timely with their responses to my inquiries in preparing for the job. Once scheduled, their field contractors arrived promptly and got right to work. The job was done thoroughly and the results look great. Thanks again to EJ, Mark, and Chris.
We have employed Bennett Contracting for two large jobs. A kitchen remodel (7 years ago) and a bay window replacement (recently). This company, from its sales department (EJ was awesome) to the guys doing the work are all a pleasure work with. The work they do is exceptional and I cannot recommend them enough.
I recently hired Bennett for a plumbing job and could not be happier. Their level of service and quality of work went above and beyond what I was expecting. From the start of the job to completion was on schedule. EJ Bonacker, the project estimator, and his staff were in constant communication with me. Would recommend them for any home improvement project.
Bennett renovated my 32 year old, builder-grade small kitchen and two baths down to the studs. Their work is beautiful in every respect, carpentry, tiling, etc. They work straight through, i.e., non-stop. I would definitely use them again. I knew their excellent reputation from coworkers who had used them for quite different projects and felt it was worth it in order to have complete confidence that there would be a satisfactory result.
Bennett by far is excellent and has outstanding quality service. I have been using this contractor for years. Our Project Manager EJ is exceptional and always goes above and beyond. We have had the opportunity to have Joe assigned to all of our projects. Words cannot express enough how great this guy is. Joe always goes above and beyond. He is a meticulous individual who is also a perfectionist and always delivers 100% service. I highly recommend Bennett.Hats off to EJ and Joe!!!!!
Great job! Working with Kevin, Bennett replaced all my windows, redid my bathroom, and did some other work. The people were knowledgable and professional, the work was completed timely and effectively…overall great experience. I will definitely use them again for my next remodeling project.
Contacted several contractors for an estimate on siding and gutters for our addition. Bennett had the best price, took the time to explain our options and made the process as easy as possible. Finished product still looks great a year out. Would definitely turn to them for future projects.
Just completed a re-deck of our 32 x 16 deck with TREX. EJ sent Joe to do the project. The entire experience was terrific. Although Joe did the entire job solo in weather that was, at times, difficult, he was meticulous, expert, and very tuned in to exactly what we wanted. He always asked, is that what you wanted before completing any section, keeping us in mind all the time. If something didnt look exactly right to him, hed re-do it to be sure it was correct. Could not be happier with any contractor. We had prices from 2 others, who did not have the credentials of Bennett, and the prices were virtually equal. They also installed a replacement sliding door that looks great, and trimmed it out perfectly. Id highly recommend Bennett for your home renovation work and will use them again, without a doubt, when time comes for windows or interior re-model. Thanks to EJ and Joe!
So ... Bennett just wrapped up a project at our home East of Albany. What started out as a possible siding job wound up as a complete window replacement, siding and roof replacement job and... minor bathroom renovation. Throughout the process, from the initial visit with Kevin Gutman to the men on site, the experience was a positive one. I strongly recommend Bennett for all of your renovation needs - Just started a fund for what I hope to be phase two come spring!
I hired Bennett contracting to convert an L shaped deck from wood to Trex. They were a delight to work with from beginning to end. Price was very fair. EJ is very professional in producing the estimate and takes the time necessary to ensure that you are going to get exactly what you want. Joe C. built the deck and did a masterful job. It was clear that he would make sure things were done right. Problems with the deck foundation that came up along the way were carefully addressed and corrected. The Trex deck is beautiful.
We just used Bennett for the first time to replace some fairly large windows my husband couldnt do himself. I am very impressed. We had gotten a few estimates and these guys seemed to have the best product for the best price. We also loved that the sales guy was in & out of our house unlike some other ones that stayed here for over an hour trying to sell us everything under the moon. The windows were put in yesterday & I cant believe how quick they were. The contractors were professional & skillful. If I ever need anything else done to the house I would call them again for sure.
Had a new front door installed on porch, replacing two old screen doors that were there previously. Joe (one of their carpenters) came out and installed the new door and it looks fantastic! A superior level of craftsmanship! I cant stop looking at the door. Will be hiring Bennett Contracting for more work in the future for sure.
They quoted me 8k to put railings on my existing deck, lol.Dont let them dupe you. If you value your money, go someplace else and stay away from these predatory prices.However, they were very professional and nice while they were trying to pull the wool over my eyes. 🐑🐑-----------------------------------------------------------------Edit After Response From Company-----------------------------------------------------------------lol they say they didnt try and dupe anyone but they clearly overcharged because they assumed I didnt know how much materials were. Theyre preying on your ignorance.
I had a gentleman come out for consultation for removal of a wall and pantry closet and possible installation of cabinets that will be provided by direct buy, makes no sense to pay upsale fee from Bennett’s when I’m a member of direct buy. So this gentleman tells me I would be looking at 55 thousand for a kitchen remodel and btw it’s a ranch style home so the lay out can’t really do much and it’s small, For 55 thousand that would be work to entire home. He further explains he wouldn’t be Interested in the work plus liability if other contractors do work. It seems to me Steve was going to tell me without saying it how I was gonna spend my money instead of doing what I ask. Great to see small companies flourish especially with there’s family history and longevity and years backing. It comes across to me they don’t do little work anymore if it’s not big money involved. So Steve was in the office and was suppose to give me a call later on it’s now 3:41pm and no return call on top of the outrages prices he quoted. I’m not saying these guys are not good cause I will never know, but my personal experience with a one on was awkward and unsettling. The search continuesNEVER forget about the little folks!!
I know that others have complained that Bennett might cost more than other options you can find, but to me, it was money well spent. There was never a doubt about the quality of the work and materials being used and they couldnt have been more professional. Ill happily pay more for a better product and that is what Bennett provided.
The work they do is great but way over priced when compared to competitors. 6k-7k higher then the avg siding install when I priced at 5 local competitors. I Would recommend to shop around unless you do not mind paying a higher rate. I have heard good things about the quality of work. The reason for my score is the extremely high number I received for the first quote. The guy that came was for the quote was nice.
Highway robbery. Look elsewhere.We agreed to a flat rate of 95.00 an hour and ended up getting a bill for twice the amount. When questioned, I was told that it was per technician at the site! This was not disclosed at the time of hire. They also apparently charged extra for a propane tank they said they had to rent to warm up siding which wasnt disclosed either. Let me add, they wanted extra money for their gas! Do yourself a favor and find someone else.They may reply to this to defend their business but as a consumer, listen to us and not them. We are the ones looking for honesty.

2022-02-18It has been such a joy to work with Bennett Contracting. My plan was to facelift my kitchen, add a pantry, add a kitchen island, build an addition, and add in a bathroom with a shower. I had always heard the nightmare stories of getting a renovation done, and I was nervous to say the least when it at all started given the enormity of the job. However, my preconceived notions could not have been further from the truth. This team was respectful, competent, personable, communicative, and an overall joy to work with from the start of contracting to the design team to the actual work. Each person on the job went out of their way to make sure that all the little details were finished, and it was evident that they took exceptional pride in their work. My foreman, Todd Schultz, went above and beyond to make the renovation cohesive and sustainable. He encouraged me to voice my opinions to make sure that everything was to my expectations. He was able to pivot easily if I wanted to make a change. I also have health issues and was concerned about COVID19 and the level of dust in the house, and they did everything imaginable to make it as safe for me as possible. I cannot give enough praise about this contracting company and my team: Anthony, Justina, Todd, Tony, Andrew, and Travis I would use them again in a heartbeat, and I cannot believe that my dream kitchen is now a reality!

2022-01-08Our porch remodel was our third project with Bennett. For this project, Adam Squires led a wonderful team who did a great job communicating, were available for questions, were conscientious about leaving the area cleaned up, and most importantly doing beautiful work. The photos don’t do it justice, but the cedar ceilings are beautifully done, and the room well constructed. We expected this to be a 3-season porch, but it’s so we’ll built we’ve been enjoying it all winter. I can’t recommend Adam (and Kyle and Sam) highly enough.

2021-11-06While Bennett has worked with our family on past projects, this was our first experience with them on our own project. They constructed a 2nd bathroom for us from an existing closet. We worked with Tony C and Justina during the design process and they were able to create a very unique space out of the odd shaped closet that they had to work with. They were flexible on materials, took into account our specific desires and worked through the construction loan process every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier with their sales and design team and in the end, we are enjoying our gorgeous bathroom and all its many details. Within the same project scope, they upgraded our electric service to the house as it was old, and as a courtesy, slid that part of the project in earlier than scheduled so that we could have our AC unit working for the summer heat. This was not necessary for them to accommodate us in this way, but it made us feel considered and accommodated considering the lead time on building materials with this current market.The bathroom details would not have come to fruition without our Lead Installer, Adam Squires. Adam communicated regularly via text and phone, during the 6 weeks that the bathroom took to construct, asked our opinions regularly and in advance to give us time for input before construction and thought ahead of our instincts to make sure that we had a more than satisfactory finished product. He arranged for the soft closing hinge on the pocket door (knowing we wouldn’t want it to slam), took the time to experiment with the the stain color of the shelf trim to make sure it was exactly as we envisioned and added the motion sensor dimming switch for the accent light to make the normal lighting not so severe at night. These details accentuated his excellent all around workmanship from the planning of the rough plumbing, electrical, coordination with the plumber and electrician to the sheet rocking, tile installation, finish carpentry and painting.Our bathroom is beautiful and we can’t wait to do our next project with Bennett.

2022-02-23We had Bennett contracting fix a ceiling after a skylight removal. From start to finish, our experience was great! Jason Watson was great to work with, he was communicative and answered all of our questions. Garrett and Bob were prompt, professional, and friendly. I was concerned with the amount of dust the project would create but the house was clean at the end of the day. After the work was finished, they replaced all of our furniture and you could barely tell they were ever there at all. Overall, I would 100% recommend Bennett contracting and will definitely use them for future projects. Thank you Bennett Contracting for such a great experience!

2022-06-10Bennett recently completed a second remodeling job in our home. Like the first one, they did a superb job. What we now know from our experiences and from others we know who have used them, is that they hire people who are extremely qualified. They know their stuff and dont leave until they and you are 100 % satisfied. From the project manager, Tony, to the carpenters Josh and Toby, to the electrician, Bob, they made our family room where we spend a lot of time, look like it was built anew. They also clean up each day, cart away any debris and dont use dumpsters. Oh yea, a bonus is that they are nice and courteous people who seem to really enjoy working for the company. High standards. Clearly would recommend.

2021-09-20We contracted with Bennett Contracting to enclose our screened-in porch. We are beyond happy with the results! What went from a 2-season porch, mostly used by our cats, is now a beautiful additional room to our home! We want to thank Anthony for his keen expertise and his construction team - Joe, Jon, Andrew and Chris - who worked their magic! The crew was attentive, answered all our questions during the renovating process, detail-oriented, always making sure WE, the customer, were happy with the results from start to finish. All we expected was a simple conversion. What we got was literally a transformation!

2021-06-22We could not have been happier with the work performed replacing our kitchen and dining room, also adding an upstairs laundry room to our 1960’s ranch house. The entire process from design to finished product was a pleasure and the results are simply stunning. The design team worked with us to come up with a general concept and was able to transform it into a vision even better than what was pictured. The construction team came in each day with a plan and was incredibly flexible in making adjustments to fit the overall plan into the actual footprint of our house. The process was enjoyable throughout, watching our house transform each day, and when completed looking as good as if the house had just been built. The team was also able to repair some old construction issues that used to leave us with freezing pipes, bringing everything into the heated part of the house to prevent future issues. I would highly recommend all that worked with us including EJ, Sarah, Jason, Joe, and Chris, as all are top notch and were incredibly responsive throughout the project. My only wish is we had done it sooner.

2022-05-02If you want a project done at the most professional level, with someone whose experience and work ethics will get the job done better then expectedand on time… then Adam Squires from Bennett contracting is your man. i was lucky enough to spend 4 weeks with him during the construction process,and not only was it a pleasurable experience it was also an educational one. Any questions i had he took the time to trouble shoot the problem or explain the process,and make recommendations. i can honestly say I’m a smarter home owner thanks to Adam. i have also recommended Adam and the company to a customer of mine,and won’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

2021-09-30I decided to use Bennett to install my storm door. Im pretty handy and have done a lot of projects around the house myself along with hiring some handy man helpers here and there. What I have concluded is that you don’t save much time or money doing it yourself or hiring bad help. The best part about hiring Bennett was I told them what I wanted and I did not put anymore time or worry into it. They came when they said they would and the quality was what I expected. Very professional company. Also the storm door is awesome! Screen rolls down then you slide the glass. FANCY!

2022-04-20First , let me say that this company is a pleasure to deal with. We have had front and rear doors replaced, kitchen cabinets moved to accommodate a larger fridge and now a new stainless drop in sink.this time our installer was Tony ( now to be our go to plumber) who was absolutely a pleasure to meet and have at our home.He was not only very considerate of our needs but kept me informed during the installation, to the very end of the job. He represents what a true craftsman should be and the type of talent Bennett has on staff.My wife and I couldnt be more pleased with our new sink..........
