Mr. Bennett was very punctual in responding to my inquiry as to removing old cabinets in the garage and then fixing the walls, painting and then installing new cabinets. Price seemed fair. After my son got involved, my grandson did the work for a learning experience. Mr. Bennett was very understanding and even offered his help if they needed to call him for advice. I would certainly recommend this very professional man to anyone who needed work done for them and I would not hesitate to seek him out again if needed.
Description of Work: Returned my emails and calls and gave me an estimate to remove old cabinets, fix the walls and install new cabinets in my garage.

Ken is a very nice man and the quality of his work is very good. We are very pleased with the final product. There were a few times during the process that we had a few frustrations- Ken was late to send us a quote, we had to call and remind him, the quote was very informal and we had several questions about it, which made him have to come out a second time to review the project. Again, we are very happy with the final result, but the paperwork and administrative tasks associated with running this kind of business are clearly not his strong suit!
Description of Work: Removed existing exterior door and replaced it with new sliding glass door. Removed windows and doors from 3-season porch, built banister around porch to match other balcony on our house.

Once we decided to proceed with our project, Ken kept us informed as to when they would start the work. We weren't left wondering if and when they would begin. We found Ken and his team wonderful to work with. We were pleased with the brick pavers that were selected as they matched some existing brick on the patio area perfectly. We did have some issues as the project continued but whenever we voiced concern Ken either called or came out personally to make sure everything was being done to assure we were completely satisfied. We would have no hesitation in using Home Experts for any project in the future. We feel Ken is exactly what anyone would want when looking for a contractor with integrity and a desire to make sure that his customers are completely satisfied with the work his company has performed. Ken, and all of his employees are very professional, courteous and great to work with.
Description of Work: Home Experts leveled and then placed brick pavers on an exisitng concrete floor of our outdoor porch.

Everything went very well. Ken was on time and carried out the work exactly as described.
Description of Work: We had an older garage with a wall that needed to be re-enforced. Ken designed a plan as to what could be done and implemented it with great results. The wall is as sturdy as it could be.

Response from Home Experts
We strongly disagree with the member. We take our commitment to customer satisfaction very seriously. We were never contacted after we had finished her job that there were any problems. All the work was inspected by someone in her family due to she lives in out of town. We finished all of our work in 3 days. We power washed the deck and told her some boards may need replaced and she would get back to me. We also power washed the back of the home's vinyl siding at the deck because mold had grown up to 5 feet on it. We asked if she would like the rest of the siding power washed and she said no because she was on a very tight budget. We let her know the grass in her back yard was 12-15 inches deep and she said she would take care of it. She called me in the afternoon and said someone left paper and garbage disposal in her kitchen and the doors were all off the hinges. I sent a man over with in the hour and reported back that the carpet layers took the doors off and the paper and carpet scraps were from them. She called me later that night and ask about the garbage disposal and I told her I would be there the next morning to look at it. I called her from the home that morning and said there was a disposal and no doors had been put up. We put a wooden back splash in the kitchen and I recommended getting a formica splash to match the same that was there previously. She said she didn't want to spend the money. From other reports you can see we take a great deal of pride in our work and meeting or exceeding our customers expectations. We do not feel the member has any complaints and we were never contacted from her to make any repairs. We ask that you look at other past customers to give you a better conclusion on our company. We wish the member the very best. Thank you, Ken Bennett

Ken and his team did a great job. They told us it would take 2-3 weeks, and they finished in just under 2. The basement is finished, and they did a really nice job of protecting the carpets and keeping things clean. Ken met with us any time we asked him to and was great helping us work through the details and addressing our concerns. The price was great - $1,000-$2,000 less than the other bid we obtained.
Description of Work: Installed a new egress window in our basement. There was no window there previously, so they dug the hole, cut out and installed the window, trimmed and painted the interior and exterior, and installed timbers for the window well walls.

I recently submitted a report on Mr. Ken Bennett ?Home Experts? about no follow-through on work we had agreed upon. Since that time, Mr. Bennett and I have been in contact and the work on the dryer vent that needed repaired has been completed. Since there was a misunderstanding, Mr. Bennett insisted that the work be performed at no cost to me even with my persistence that he should be paid for the work. Mr. Bennett and Paul, the person who did the work, arrived at the scheduled time set up, and in minutes it was found that the dryer vent could not be repaired with the parts on hand. Paul went to a local hardware store returning in a short time with the right parts which were installed by having to go into my crawl space many times, which would have been to say the least, ?painful for me?. Paul was at all times professional, courteous and knowledgeable of what was needed to get a finished product that would look good and be easy for me to work with in the future. Mr. Bennett has demonstrated that he is an honest and caring professional who is proud of his company and work performed by it. Although in this circumstance the work was performed at no cost to me (due to the misunderstanding), I feel Mr. Bennett's pricing is excellent, and I would not hesitate in the future in having ?Home Experts? perform work that I needed done at my home.
Description of Work: When my house was built, there was a shortcut made in the vert hookup for the clothes dryer using only a flimsy flexable pipe extending through the wall. The flexable pipe had deteriated over time and needed replacing. I wanted a solid vent pipe connected to the pipe that extended to the exterior of the house.

It went very well. Ken Bennett was incredibly professional and we will definitely use Home Experts again in the future! Ken went above and beyond expectation. He was responsive, thorough and a pleasure to work with. They fixed our problem QUICKLY. I was very troubled by the mold because of our young children. Ken was very understanding about this and his crew worked very quickly to get the mold out. We received such attention to detail and were so pleased with how quickly they got started and finished the work. Would definitely recommend and we will use them again...hopefully for a planned home improvement and not an urgent repair!
Description of Work: We needed repairs to both upstairs bathrooms and the ceiling of our dining room, which had mold as a results of slow leaks from the bathrooms. In bathroom 1, tile from the the shower/tub walls was damaged and the grout was absorbing water, allowing it to leak into the floor and cause mold and damage. They removed the tile and installed identical tile and grout in the walls of the tub/shower. They also added silicone to parts of the tub/tile to prevent water damage. They removed the old vinyl floor and subfloor; repaired/replaced it with new floor. This also involved removed the toilet and then reinstalling it. In bathroom 2, water was slowly seeping out of the shower threshold and leaking underneath the shower base, into the subfloor and the dining room ceiling. There was significant mold. They removed tile in the bathroom floor to repair/replace the damaged subfloor. They installed the tile back into this spot (using similar tile that we tried to match to our original tile). They basically reinstalled our standing shower, sealing areas with silicone and sealing the threshold/door to prevent even the most subtle leak/dripping. They removed the mold from the ceiling of the downstairs (under the bathroom) and treated any questionable areas to prevent mold from returning. There was an 8x2 foot hold in the ceiling as they began work; By the end we had a ceiling again, with nearly identical texturing to the rest of the ceiling. Someone also came and painted, matching the paint to the rest of the ceiling and doing touchups.

Excellent! Ken was enjoyable to work with, very professional, very courteous, and very prompt. In our case we were prepping our house to put on the market and Ken provided much-needed input into the best choices for showing our house. He and his crew also cleaned up very well once done. I highly recommend using Ken for any house work / handyman jobs.
Description of Work: Prep for listing our house; new carpet; all fresh paint; new flooring; repairs with toilets, tubs, showers, trimming, corner round, light fixtures, closet doors; also did some needed electrical work; installed new mailbox and post

From start to finish, Ken and the crew were very accomodating and willing to go above and beyond what we had asked them to do. They even used some scrap pieces of the fiber cement to replace the wood siding on the front of the garage at no charge - something that was done when they found they had extra siding. This was not something we asked them to do - they just offered to do it! It was a great experience all the way around. We are looking forward to having them do another project for us when the weather cooperates.
Description of Work: Home Experts installed fiber cement on our existing garage and removed old decorative molding and panels from the front. They then replaced this with new wood and moldings to keep the same look as before. In fact, it looks even better now than the original.

Response from Home Experts
The member was correct in that I did not have an estimate for him, I called him the day I found this report and talked to him and that I was sorry for not getting back in touch with him. We want all our customers to be serviced with quick and accurate responses. I found his information in another book I had wrote in and did not transfer to my date book and explained that also to him. I also want to take responsibility for the error. Thank you Ken Bennett

Ken and his group have been doing work for us for over a year now. Ken is a great problem solver and can quickly assess any situation and figure out an effective and cost-effective way to fix it. He usually answers the phone right away, and he's always managed to fit us into his schedule quickly. They do great work and I'm convinced they can fix almost anything. I highly recommend them.

Had Ken not been present throughout the process of inspecting and negotiating with the bank to purchase the property, we would never had been able to purchase the house. Ken made himself available anytime day or night to come to the house and understand/explain every issue that presented itself. There were major problems with water getting into the house and Ken clearly explained every issue and how it could be resolved. Ken made time to be present when the house was inspected, he came to the house each and every time we found an issue. Each time we started to panic, Ken would explain the issue in detail and told us how it could be fixed. Again, if Ken had not be present and explained the issues and their resolution to us, we probably would not have had the confidence to purchase the house. Thanks Ken!
Description of Work: We purchased a foreclosed high-end home that was in considerable disrepair and had sat unmaintained for several years. Ken worked with us through the whole process. He was present during the home inspection and provided detailed explanations, advice and estimates for all items identified. He personally became familiar with every square inch of the house and all of the issues present. The second we closed on the house, he had crews out fixing all the major items needed for us to move in. While fixing the major defects, he and his crews freely offered to fix literally dozens of small maintenance items for no additional charge. He even offered to help move heavy furniture. The major work included replacing second floor porches, repairing disrepaired masonry, fixing/replacing gutters, fixing toilets and faucets that had be sitting unused for multiple years, discovering and fixing old plumbing leaks, and multiple drywall and electrical repairs.

Now my exterior windows look fantastic. After calling Ken, I received consistent communication and he and his men took care of my windows doing high-quality work in two days. I was around enough to see that the work required special skills and equipment and feel the price reflects the quality and and difficulty of the work. The interior feels much warmer and we are actually looking forward to winter.
Description of Work: Shortly after I bought my house, I found out that the windows weren't insulated and the few shreds of caulk on them didn't last more than six months. In fact the window exteriors were literally coming apart and developed dents from tree branches falling on the light-weight metal. Without insulation we could literally feel the air blow into the rooms.

We are selling our house and found a few issues on inspection. Ken came out to our house to give an estimate to repair a brick facade issue on the front of our house. He and his crew were able to complete the work on time and on budget with no problems. Ken even came out on a Saturday to meet with the structural engineer and our realtor to ease the minds of our buyers. They also replaced some wood on a couple of windows. Their work is very well done. They cleaned everything up very well. They couldn't have been nicer.
Description of Work: Opened up the porch ceiling and reinforced the brick facade that had started to sag due to an original construction issue. They worked under the guide of a structural engineer (that we had hired) to fix the problem. They closed everything back up and painted. They also applied new trim around the top of the house to cover and weatherize the gaps from the brick sagging. They painted, caulked and did some brick work as well. They also replaced some rotten wood on a couple of our windows. They painted it as well. They repaired a small area of water damage on the ceiling in our kitchen.

We had previously worked with Ken to repair some damaged wood siding, replace door to garage and clean our gutters. Ken met with us at our home and provided prompt estimates. He and his crew are very personable and professional. We had a very tight schedule for our most recent work and he was able to get things done on time.
