Benchmark Painting & Carpentry of Boynton Beach, LLC

Representative from Benchmark Jarred Canavan came to my house to provide estimate. After looking at the work he did not provide an estimate. It took two weeks of phone calls to peruse the estimate. When I finally received the estimate, the quoted $1800.00 was clearly an overbid to discourage my using them. They were clearly not interested in doing the work.

This project went very well. The painters and carpenters did an exceptional job with great attention to detail. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

The installation of the baseboards throughout the house, as well as the toe kick in the kitchen, was done perfectly. They did a great job with the seams of the boards and painting. We had 2 areas in our ceiling that needed drywall repair. They completed fixing one of the areas, but the 2nd area did not get done. Our main complaint with this company is that numerous times we had asked them to make my husband the main point of contact throughout the process, but it took a while for them to get the email and phone correspondence going to him. We had to ask many times. The girls scheduling and coordinating were a bit flaky. Also, when the job was completed, the GC called me to tell me the job is done and asked if I was satisfied. When I brought up the fact that the 2nd area of the ceiling wasn't done, he flat out lied to me and said that he had discussed it with my husband and it was likely due to sagging beams in the attic and was a completely different problem than just a small plaster repair. When I told my husband this, he emailed the GC and called him out on the lie, and requested that they deduct the charge from the remaining balance. It was really bizarre and unprofessional. All the emails and phone calls, they were very nice. The work was done quickly and it was well done. However, the folks on the phone scheduling the work could've been a little more on top of things, and the fact that the GC flat out lied about the conversation he had with my husband didn't bode very well. This was no miscommunication (in case they respond to this). I *might* hire them again. We've had a lot of work done in our house, and we've begun to realize that even getting top rated workers off of Angie's List still won't get you quality service all around. I guess I was a little surprised at this company though. With well over 440 ratings, I had high expectations. Only reason I would hire them back is that the work was done quickly and done well, for the work they did finish. Also, the price was reasonable.

My husband and I took time off from work to meet them twice. October 17 and October 19. Both time they came on time. They took measurements and we discussed with them all of our needs. We were promised a proposal within a week. As today, it has been 3 weeks and we haven't received it. Not a single phone call either. We really liked them , both obviously they are either too busy for us or they lack some organization skills. That obviously makes us nervous. If that is for an estimate, what would happen after giving a deposit? We have decided to move on.

Fantastic! Edwin was the gentleman, along with 2 assistants, who provided the services & he is a consummate professional. He protected my furniture with the plastic wrapping, painted the ceiling, prepped & painted the walls, and meticulously hung new shelves that I had purchased for the closet, making them nice & sturdy. He asked me questions along the way just to make sure I was satisfied with his progress. I am very pleased with his workmanship and will definitely use Benchmark again, but, only if Edwin came out again to do the job!! He is a gem!! Thank you, Susan

All of the work was professional. From the initial estimate by Patricia to the painting/crown molding/carpentry crew, they were the best. All of the work was done meticulously and there was no damage to any of our furniture, etc. They represented the very best in professionalism and responsiveness. They worked overtime to finish as close to on time as possible (despite some unanticipated complications). We would recommend this company to any person needing quality painting, crown molding, and carpentry.

Excellent ! Great work, timely, polite and trustworthy - will definitely use again.

It went well. They did a good decent job.

"Reasonably" well. The workers were very professional, friendly and accommodating. The preparation work on walls was poor, i.e. sanding was not adequate to provide a smooth finish. The "cut in" painting was not brushed out and thus resulted in a heavier coat around door frames, ceilings etc. that are very noticeable. Rather than remove light switch covers, they were painted around, again leaving noticeable lines.

The painter did a clean meticulous job and was courteous and respectful at all times

I messaged this business via Angie's list and two weeks later I still haven't heard anything.

I hate to give a negative review, but I am. I called to schedule someone to come out and give me a quote and was told that the person makes his own schedule and that I would hear from directly. A week went by and I didn't hear anything so I called back, left a vmail and heard from the person later that day or the next day. He came out a few days later and spent approximately 30-45 minutes going through the house with me, taking notes and pictures. I was very impressed and had a good feeling about this company. This meeting was on a Friday. He told me he would get back to me on Monday with a quote since it was Father's Day weekend. A week went by and I hadn't heard back from him, so I sent him a text (this is how we had been communicating to schedule the quote appointment) and never heard back from him. I was disappointed as I had quite a bit of work that needed to be done and based on all of the positive reviews thought this company was a great find. I was wrong.

Fabulous. Second time I have used them. Considerate, timely, neat and great communication. Will be using them again soon for painting

quality of the painting work was very good. picking the crown moulding with the advisor was a disiaster. she has the wrong address on all paper work, would not following basic instructions, requests, etc... driveway sealing did not go well. driveway was power washed one day, sealed the next, but it was never ropped off!!! ended up with oil from a truck on my driveway, and then the workers put the sealant on top of that! Benchmark had to pay to replace those damaged pavers. 4 tvs were hung, albeit one of them on the wrong wall. dont understand how that can happen but now i have patch marks on my brand new house walls. overall, i would not use this company again, took close to 90 days to get painting, sealing, and some basic carpentry work done.

Thrilled with my experience and the professional service showed by this company. Beautiful quality workmanship. They took excellent care to protect my home while working. Reliable, courteous and cleaned up at the end of each day. I will definitely be using this company in the future.

Benchmark is the company that you want to do projects such as i had done. The project manager showed up for the intital appointment on time and was courteous and knowledgeable he brought back the team he felt that would do the best job for this project. And they were very patient and took alot of time making sure they know what i wanted. The job progressed as scheduled and was installed on the date set. The project manager Robert was great. He communicated with me every step of the way. The install was completed on time. The people involved were very nice to be around. And the price was fair. I would recommend this company to any one needed this work done.

Perfect, prompt, courteous, and professional.

Was told I would have an estimate in approximately 2 days. I have not heard anything 15 days later. Sent email and left voice message. Got no response. I would never use someone who does not do as promised and does not communicate.

Called Benchmark Painting to get a quote and we agreed to meet and discuss. They gave me a verbal quote while still at the property and then emailed it to me later that afternoon. The quote was to repair my garage drywall ceiling, patch the popcorn texture on the ceiling and paint the entire ceiling. The quote was reasonable, so I decided to ask about also freshening up the walls of the interior of the house as well as the baseboards. Total cost would be $900 for labor and materials including garage paint. I accepted the quote & asked to schedule right away. As it turned out I was able schedule the job for early the next week. They arrived on time first thing in the morning and I showed the guys where the matching paint was for the interior walls & baseboards. They started by covering the floor to prevent spills, then 2 guys started on the garage and another guy inside. I was getting ready to list the house for sale so the house was empty and I left to go to work. By the time I returned home at 5 o'clock there was a second van parked out front from Benchmark Painting. There were a total of 4 guys finishing up the work at my house and it looked great!! The house looked fresh & brand new like the day we moved in. I was delighted as the garage was perfect and so was the interior painting. This was the first time I ever used Angie's List and I was very satisfied with the work of everyone at Benchmark Painting. It's nice to find a company that does what they say they're going to do. Does it right the first time. And doesn't rip you off. Thank you to everyone at Benchmark Painting!! +++!A

Started out great, very professional sales person during the quote process. While the crew showing up for the two and a half day project varied from 1-3 people each day, we were initially satisfied with the project. Soon thereafter the paint began bubbling and peeling. Having called the company multiple times, each person says they'll fix it since the work is guaranteed for one year. However, Benchmark does not return calls or send a crew to remedy the problem. After several weeks of calls to the company with no action, I would never use Benchmark again.

We are extremely happy with the services we received from Benchmark. From the very first visit from the salesperson (Steve) to the the painters, to Jessica in the office; everyone has been very professional. One of my main concerns was being able to get good quality work done quickly. We recently closed on a home and needed to get the place painted and carpets replaced and needed the job done quickly. I think that the proposal came on a Thursday afternoon and the workers were onsite on Monday morning. There were 4 people on the painting team and they were able to finish painting the interior in about 2 1/2 days. The workers were truly amazing. They showed up on time, took very little breaks, and worked constantly. The team was very experienced and did an excellent job. The painters picked up after themselves and left the house cleaner than when they arrived. The team was headed by Adriano and his brother. You could tell they were very experienced painters. Adriano even helped recommend the types of paints we should use. I had originally wanted one type of paint for the walls, but the Adriano recommended another, and I'm so glad he did. The team just didn't apply what I requested, but questioned my decision, which I am very grateful. They wanted me to be happy with the end result, not just apply what they were told to apply. That's truly excellent in my book. Since the painting, we've had many other contractors come to the house for other repairs and all of them notice the excellent painting work that was done. Our house looks totally amazing. As far as the built in desk area. The painting team removed a HUGE built in desk without damaging anything on the walls. I was truly amazing how efficiently and cleanly they were able to remove the desk. Finally, as far as the tile back splash. It's probably because we were so spoiled by the painters, but that we didn't find that as smooth as the painting, but we're happy with the end result of that part of the project too, so I'm not going to go into details here. Overall, very happy with Benchmark and will definitely use them for future projects.

The workmen are good but the client services are horrible. They were supposed to start the job on a Monday but they had a delay and they had to start on a Thursday. It is a 14k job. It was supposed to be a 3 man crew but only one or two would work at a time. The foreman told me they needed a couple more days to finish the job. The client services texted me and not even a call yesterday and stated I owed $700 for weather stripping which was included in the original contract. The foreman called them and fixed the situation and I got a text back stating an apology but then I got a text again 30 minutes later stating they had to pull the guys off of my job to help with another job and they would not be back until 8-10 business days. By 12pm the foreman got a call and left one worker there with me but then they left as well. They said they would be back today on 3/17 by 8am and no word, no call, and no follow up regarding this company coming out to work today.

They didn't paint the underneath supports for the shelf but I don't really want to say that because I didn't really ask them to come back and do that, so that was kind of on me so I don't want to give them any negative reviews.

good, no problems, I used Benchmark before, they are very reliable, do good work, reasonable price

Requested an estimate for exterior painting over a month ago. A representative called me a few times to tell me when she intended to view the job, but she didn't provide an estimate or call me to follow-up, which leads me to believe that she didn't view the proposed job. If the company was not interested in providing services, regardless of the reason, it was incumbent on them to so advise.
