Bly Bennett Inc

He suggested an alternative to the problem we were having with our home that did not involve a costly remodel - and would not generate business for him. He provided the name of an excellent craftsperson to do the work who we hired and were extremely happy with the results. After this experience, Rob would be the first one we would call for future home remodeling.

Super honest, friendly, knowledgable. Would recommend without reservation.

They were extremely professional from start to finish. Always on time, and responsive. If there was something I was concerned about they addressed it as soon as possible. They kept me updated on all the progress. They treated all my questions as though none were stupid. The tear out was done in a manner that the whole house did not suffer from the mess. The work was extremely detail oriented and finished within the timeframe estimated. There was a small leak which occurred and need to be rectified as it caused damage in the dining room. They immediately attended to it and ddi a terrific job fixing and repairing all damage. We were very pleased with their work and all of the people who came to work at our house.

Very nice and professional but overall too expensive for our project.

Bly Bennett was hired to remove flaking plaster and to paint the living room and a bedroom. He did both of these jobs to my complete satisfaction. There were some other smaller tasks in the house that he did as he said he would. The year before his company remodeled my kitchen. It was an good experience. The work was done to my satisfaction, he showed up when he said he would and guaranteed he would finish when he said he would.

Wonderful! Fairly priced, great recommendations and steering us through the design process.

Rob Bennett & his crew did a tremendous job & we plan to use them again for any remodeling project that we may dream up in the future. We have a preference for "restoring" (as opposed to "remodeling") when we complete projects in our older home, and Rob is the perfect fit for projects like ours because he loves to bring old properties back to life. The superintendent who was assigned to our job was Jay. Jay & his co-worker were terrific to work with. They were quick to answer questions we had, they met with us at times that were convenient for us, they were friendly to our pets, and they were always positive when unexpected issues were encountered. The one piece of advice that I would offer for any remodeling project is "pay close attention to any/all allowances (offered by your general contractor) for items like tile, fixtures, etc." During our project, we exceeded our tile allowance (for the bathroom) by quite a bit even thought I felt like Rob had a very good understanding of how the bathroom would come together prior to compiling the estimate.

I called Rob on his cell and discussed our project to build a new home on a narrow lot. I called Rob due to a beautiful home we found near 40th and Pennsylvania that is one of the best homes that I have seen in Indy. Rob stated that he built that home in 2004 and actually used part of an existing home to recreate this modern, dynamic home with new finishes on each of the following: Kitchen & Bath, Windows, Doors, Floors, Roofing, Electrical, Plumbing, Landscaping, etc. The character of this home is exactly what we are looking for in the home we are looking to build. Although Rob doesn't typically offer design and build services, he did design that particular project. He said he does have highly recommended designers he uses for his projects.

He was always willing to compromise. He did great quality work. Overall, he was honest and excellent. I was very happy with his services.

Bly Bennett did a great job with the remodeling. They had to create crown molding to match what was already in my room. You would never be able to tell the original with the new stuff. They also provided a good electrician for some work that needed to be done.

Called for an estimate for a large project: our basement finished and a bathroom renovated. Contractor did not reply to repeated phone messages for weeks. Eventually we communicated and scheduled a meeting to discuss details of the project. In this instance the contractor was punctual, knowledgeable, and professional. However, we never received a formal quote, and the contractor does not return phone messages. Phone number listed on Angie's List and on his signs around the neighborhood is useless. We went with a more professional and reliable company.

I can honestly say that our remodeling experience has been a true pleasure thus far! We are about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through a major remodeling project, and it has gone very smoothly. Rob and Mitch are fantastic to work with. Rob doesn't just see problems, he offers real solutions. Mitch deals with the crew and day-to-day issues, and he is consistently on top of our project. I am very pleased with their work to date and can't wait to see the finished project!

From the beginning, I called Rob in to view the house and discussed what we wanted to do (prior to my bidding on this 'going for auction' almost 3/4 acre wooded lot). The mess that we began with turned into the home that we planned to create - so the results were fantastic. I emphasize that there are two major parts of a remodel. 1/ The process 2/ The outcome The process has to do with how the builder proceeds when there are problems, changes or timing issues. I've worked with remodelers before where this was THE headache, no matter what the end result was. In this case, Rob takes control and makes the 'process' almost enjoyable - even with the problems that are going to occur no matter what the project. The size of this was bound to turn up many, but they were taken care of in a way that kept me safe, secure and not the one who had to make things happen. Rob does that. Thanks! The outcome is exactly as we'd envisioned, but even better. With the process as smooth as possible, and the outcome fantastic - the two basics are rolled up into a nice neat package which is why I can only recommend Bly Bennett as my remodeler of choice in Indianapolis.

We had concerns about the ceiling in our front room that is below the master bath. That is why we went with this company. They have the integrity and accountability to deal with the complications that may happen. They did all three rooms at one time. They had vendors that they dealt with. Although the price was high, the work was beautiful. You get what you pay for.

We were extremely pleased with the quality of the personnel and with the finished product. They paid fine attention to detail. Give him space to do his job.

It was absolutely beautiful and I was very pleased. They were very respectful, professional, and honest. They do specialize in older areas.

WE THOUGHT THE ESTIMATES WERE A LITTLE HIGH, BUT IN CHECKING HIS REFERENCES, PEOPLE COMMENTED SEVERAL TIMES THAT HE NEVER WENT OVER THE ORIGINAL BID. I THINK THIS IS BETTER THAN OTHER HORROR STORIES I'VE HEARD ABOUT PROJECTS GOING FOR TWICE AND THREE TIMES THE ORIGINAL QUOTES, BUT IT WILL ALSO MEAN THAT WE NEED TO SAVE UP BEFORE STARTING ANY OF THE JOBS.

GREAT EXPERIENCE. VERY NICE AND PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE. THEY KEPT ME UPDATED DAILY. THE ONLY TIMES THAT THERE WERE DELAYS WERE DUE TO SUB-CONTRACTORS.

ROB BENNETT PROVIDED TERRIFIC ADVICE ON THE LAYOUT OF THE NEW ROOMS AS WELL AS OVERALL DESIGN. ROB AND HIS CREWS COMMENCED WORK AND COMPLETED EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE AND WITH NO OVERRUNS. EVERYONE WAS EXTREMELY COURTEOUS AND THEY CLEANED UP AFTER THEMSELVES EVERY DAY. GREAT CARE WAS TAKEN NOT TO DISTURB OUR LIFE AND THE BALANCE OF THE HOME. THE WORKMANSHIP IN ALL ASPECTS HAS PROVEN TO BE EXCELLENT. ATTENTION TO SMALL DETAIL SHOWS THAT BLY BENNETT TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN THEIR WORK.

THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. THEY WERE PROMPT PROFESSIONAL, AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

HIGHEST QUALITY. EMPLOYEES AND MOST SUBS WERE COMPETENT AND PLEASANT TO WORK WITH. VERY RESPONSIVE AT FIXING PROBLEMS. THE BEST CONTRACTOR WE'VE WORKED WITH. VERY CUSTOMER ORIENTED. STAYED ON BUDGET AND PROVIDED WRITTEN CHANGE ORDERS. DIDN'T MEET THE COMPLETION DATE (PARTLY DUE TO ADDITIONAL WORK) AND GAVE US A DISCOUNT. SENSITIVE TO MAINTAINING THE HISTORIC CHARACTER & APPEARANCE OF OUR HOME. WE HAVE RECOMMENDED TO NUMEROUS FRIENDS AND HAVE HIRED AGAIN.

BLY (ROB) BENNETT HELPED US FROM INCEPTION THROUGH THE COMPLETION OF THE JOB. HE SUGGESTED THE KITCHEN DESIGNER(S) AND OTHERS FOR US TO WORK WITH TO GET "EXPERT" ADVICE ABOUT CABINETRY, DESIGN AND APPLIANCES. THE JOB BEGAN ON TIME AND THE ENTIRE JOB PROGRESSED WITHIN SCHEDULE, WITH ALL THE SUB CONTRACTORS BEING TERRIFIC AND SUPERVISED BY BENNETT OR HIS FOREMAN. THE WORKERS ALWAYS KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TO BE DOING, ALL PERFORMED THEIR SPECIALTY AS ONE WOULD HOPE, AND THEY ALL WERE COURTEOUS, CLEAN AND CONSUMER ORIENTED (WHICH ISN'T THE NORM, IN MY EXPERIENCE). ANY PROBLEMS THAT AROSE BECAME "NO PROBLEM, WE'LL MAKE IT RIGHT", AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW THINGS WENT. ONE CAN ALWAYS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED IN REMODELING, AND BENNETT TOOK THEM ALL IN STRIDE AND NOT ONLY MADE US FEEL COMFORTABLE, BUT TOOK CARE OF EACH PROBLEM AS IF IT WERE HIS OWN HOME. THE PROCESS WAS ONLY BESTED BY THE RESULTS. FANTASTIC, ALL THE WAY AROUND AND IT "WAS" A MAJOR JOB.

ROB BENNETT WAS THE BEST GENERAL CONTRACTOR THAT I HAVE WORKED WITH. OUR PROJECT WAS VERY COMPLICATED AND HE HANDLED IT EXTREMEMLY WELL. HE MANAGED THE BUDGET VERY CAREFULLY. I COULDN`T RECOMMEND HIM HIGHER. MY ONLY COMPLAINT WAS HIS TILE SUBCONTRACTER. ALL OF THE OTHER SUBS WERE EXCELLENT.

ROB WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH. VERY RESPONSIVE, WORKED TO SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM TO OUR SATISFACTION. ALMOST ALL SUBS WERE TIMELY, FRIENDLY AND GOOD. ROB MAY NOT BE THE CHEAPEST, BUT SAVED US LOTS OF HEADACHES AND DOES NOT NICKEL AND DIME.

WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED VERY QUICKLY AND NICELY. LEVEL OF WORK IS CONSISTENT WITH MAIN FLOOR OF HOUSE MAKING BASEMENT NOT FEEL LIKE A BASEMENT AND MORE LIKE ANOTHER FINISHED LEVEL OF THE HOUSE. ALL WORK HAS BEEN ON SCHEDULE OR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
