Description of Work: I used a painter from Angie's list called Benchmark Painting & Carpentry. They painted my entire townhouse on the inside.

Description of Work: Painted the exterior of my house

Description of Work: After obtaining three bids, I employed Benchmark to construct a built-in bookcase and cabinets on a rear wall of my Florida room. Their bid price came in between the other two. I felt they listened to my ideas better than the high bid folks and designed the piece according to my specifications. The most expensive company kept changing their price each time one of their representative contacted me. The least expensive company would have built the unit on the premises. I preferred the approach of the Benchmark team which would build the unit off the premises, disassemble it, and reassemble it at my home. I gave the team the exact measurements of the bookshelves and closed cabinets beneath. The unit extended from wall to wall and from ceiling to floor. All shelves are adjustable and all doors to the cabinets below are soft close. The unit looks like it was always there and there are no gaping areas to dust or clean. it is an attractive and functional addition to my Florida room. The unit was not painted but stained and used a dark beadboard for the back of the bookshelves and cabinets. The Benchmark Team thought that the doors looked plain so used the darker beadboard on the doors to the cabinet beneath. That was a great idea and one I had not thought of previously. They also suggested a slight shelf extending about four inches out where the bookcases end and cabinets below begin. This too was an excellent design idea which I have appreciated and utilized.

Description of Work: I called Benchmark early last summer for an estimate to remodel my master bathroom. The owner Martin came out right away to give me an estimate. He also had some good ideas for the remodel. However, that estimate was the last time I was happy with Martin. I called him and told him I wanted to use him for the remodel, and he gave me the name of a tile place and a granite place and told me to pick things out. I was totally on my own and it took forever for Martin to get back to me. I finally got tired of the runaround and called another Angie's list remodeler, whom I was very happy with. My new bathroom is beautiful, no thanks to Martin and Benchmark.

Description of Work: Absolutely disappointing. Representative came and subsequently provided an estimate. After many calls the company and to the assigned worker there was a complete unresponsiveness on scheduling any time the work would be performed. subsequently, and again, after several calls over a period of several weeks asking to have property which was taken from our house as part of the planned work returned, I am waiting still to have it returned so that I can have the desired work done.

Description of Work: Benchmark came out immediately to give me an estimate for painting a bathroom and bedroom. I booked the job within a few dates and they scheduled me right away. They came on time, matched the color I wanted and completed the job in one day. The painters were friendly, pleasant and helpful. They did an excellent job, no mess, very clean and accommodating. I have already asked them to do another job and will continue to use them and will recommend them to friends. I am looking forward to working with them again on a carpentry job. I am more than pleased and I never write reviews but this company was a "find" and I am so happy.

Description of Work: Benchmark painters were on time and very professional! They did a fantastic job. Everything they painted was perfect! I have several more projects that I want completed soon and would love to have Benchmark back to my house.

Description of Work: I contacted Benchmark to paint our condo association's walkways and laundry room, on behalf of the condo board of administration. Bob and Martin (the owners) came out to personally do the estimate, were very professional, and automatically offered the associations the Angie's List discount. We had the project out for bid to three firms. We accepted Benchmark's offer and chose paint colors. When the crew came out to do the job the first day, I was introduced to the foreman (Carlos?), and he gave me his phone number. We settled on a time and sequence for the painting, so that I could tell our unit owners about the schedule so they would not walk on the new paint... i.e., stay in their units or be out of the unit for a period of time. However, the crew started late, and then started on an area where the unit owner had not been notified, rather than the area where they HAD been notified. So I had to do it all over again, and people had to change their schedules. When I mentioned this to Carlos, he didn't think it was a big deal. BAD SIGN. The crew laid down the first coat, and it was too pink in the actual light, so I asked for the color to be corrected. This is not unusual, and I know because I used to restore historic homes and acted as GC on a lot of jobs, including painters. Color correction happens all the time. BUT Carlos groused about it, said he couldn't do it, then I had to call the Benchmark office to get compliance. Then we set a time for them to come back the second day, and I had to notify the unit owners again. It was agreed that the paint would go down in the morning, to aid in curing, and not overheating, as the walkways were on the west side of the building, and summer was here. The painters were late, no one called me, so I had to wait for them to come until afternoon, and then they painted the area when it was very hot, causing some of the paint to blister. Again, I had to call the office. Carlos didn't seem to think that it was a big deal. The blistering was very bad on the stair landing, and so Carlos had to come back out and slice the blisters open to let out the trapped moisture, and now there are obvious holes where the blisters were removed on the landing. In addition, in the initial walk-through, there were holes in the walls of the laundry room that were supposed to be filled prior to painting, and they had not been filled. Also, the yellow traffic striping on the stair edges had only had one coat. I had to ask that these items be fixed as well. To add insult to injury, when I talked with Sherry (the owner's receptionist) about Carlos' attitude, she said brightly, "OK, we'll take that under consideration". She didn't seem shocked or concerned, just as if she wanted to get rid of me and move on. Well, she can move on to another set of customers, because our board will never use them again.
