Bennett provided material samples for us to choose color and see the quality. He sent us a design, which we modified slightly. The design was great - well thought out and accommodating all of our needs. We scheduled far in advance, yet the work still started late due to the materials not coming in. That would have been fine, except that it wasn't communicated to us. We weren't in a hurry, but we had emptied out the closet! In the end, none of that mattered because the closet is great - wish we'd done it sooner!

Bennett suggested adding a transom above the doors, which turned out great. He was extremely nice and professional. I work from home, so I was here the entire time he was, though I would be fine leaving for a bit. The process was a little slow because we ran into issues with the drywall and the walls not matching up. Bennett hired out the drywall, and in the end had to hire a different person to finish it up to our liking after the other guy was unable to fix it twice. It took awhile to schedule since he wasn't doing the work, but we weren't in a hurry and Bennett knew that too. Overall, it turned out great and we love it.
Description of Work: We had Bennett turn a living room into an office by walling it off and installing French doors.

He did a very nice job. The work was really good. He was within budget. It was not finished when it was supposed to be because he had got heat stroke because of the severe heat, but he came back the next day to finish it.

This is the third time we have used Bennett's services; as always, we were delighted with his work. He pays attention to every detail, his work is meticulous, and he never leaves a mess with an ongoing project. He took a plan our designer had sketched for the desk/shelf unit and made some suggestions to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the unit. After the initial on site consultation, everything is done by e-mail, which is very convenient.
Description of Work: Constructed desk and shelf unit with laminate top for master bedroom ($2878), installed primed crown molding in 12x13 bedroom ($228) and installed storage shelves in basement closet under stairs ($265).

Our closet is the envy of everyone who sees it and we enjoy it thoroughly! Bennett met with us initially to look at the space and ask us about our needs. We were also interested in his expertise and asked him for suggestions so that we could keep functionality high but also an eye on resale potential. The suggestions were very helpful in helping us fine tune our expectations and consider things we hadn't thought about. Bennett drew up an initial design for us, then made some changes based on our preferences. Throughout the process, we got information quickly, in a format that was easy to understand and visualize. We knew we wanted a workspace of some type, as well as storage, but the space didn't lend itself to an island. We brainstormed to come up with a work desk at one end of the closet and we're glad we did. The installation went very well and every area that work was done in was kept clean and organized. We'll enjoy this space for years to come!
Description of Work: A master suite remodel created a shell space (drywalled room only) for a walk-in closet off the master bedroom. The space was long, narrow and had a window as well as some existing outlets. We reviewed magazines and visited several home stores before deciding to have a professional complete the job. The more we researched, the more we became convinced we'd need a professional to help us make good decisions for the space.

This is the second job he has done for me, and I was very pleased with the first one, so I called him back. His estimate was quick and reasonable, and he started promptly. He was very fast and efficient, meeting a pretty tight time line. The new wall and door look great and add a lot of usable space to an otherwise unusable area of the room. He had the construction done and cleaned up in time to get the wall painted and the room carpeted. I'd definitely use him again.
Description of Work: We had a old, mirrored-door walk-in closet; the doors took up an entire wall. Bennett removed the mirrored doors, built a new wall, and installed a pocket door. In addition, he added a small grommet for passing cables, etc to hang a flat screen TV.

Bennett is a perfectionist with all his work. He did everything the way we had discussed and provided many great ideas. I felt extremely comfortable with him working in my house even when I was away. I highly recommend him for any of your remodeling needs. He is truly a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to home improvements.
Description of Work: Bennett completely remodeled our master bath and all the bedroom closets. Walls were even moved to make more the space more efficient. He did most of the work himself and served as the general contractor for a few of the items. We have a beautiful bathroom now with a new stand alone tub, slate floors and walls, huge glass block shower, separate vanity areas, two walk in closets and closet of shelves. The cost listed included materials and all.

I was pretty quick to answer a phone request for an estimate and was able to schedule an estimate within a short time. They provided some good ideas on what to do with my kitchen to upgrade. However, 2 weeks after the appointment, I called to find out if he was planning on providing me with a quote. He did not respond to my phone calls or emails requesting if he was planning on following through with an estimate. I wasted 3 weeks time waiting for an answer that never came.

Dennis came 20 minutes late, didn't apologize for being late, he didn't take off his shoes. He measured closet and asked what I wanted. I thought he would give me some ideas and suggestions. He told me he would put together a drawing for me and would be in my mailbox Thursday. The drawing was not in my mailbox until Saturday. I think his price was astronomical.

Bennett was great to work with! He offered different options regarding the cabinets and did a beautiful job with the entire project. After it was completed, I asked for a minor change to be done & he didn't hesitate to find a time that would work for both of us. I was very happy with the change. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again & would recommend him to others.

Bennett was professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. He took all of our clothing needs into consideration. The final product is absolutely lovely, and cost significantly less than the other bids I obtained. I also believe the quality is at least as good, if not better then the other companies I considered. I highly recommend him.

He was excellent! His bid was lower than the competition, and other bids didn't include finish work, such as painting. He provided clear, well-done drawings so we knew just what we were getting. He was very flexible, agreeing to spend an extra day re-framing to accomodate some furniture. The work was finished on-schedule, and he didn't even charge for the extra effort to re-frame. The feedback on the closet is ''it looks like it was built with the Loft''. I would highly recommend him for another job. He was also consistently easy-going and pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: Mr. Kern built a new walk-in closet in a Loft downtown. The space he had to work with was odd, an open corner with an angled ceiling. He submitted plans, a bid, and a schedule beforehand for discussion. The work consisted of framing, drywall, custom-hung shelves and rods, a new door, trimming to match current molding, and painting the structure. He also added a light fixture. We paid 50% up-front and 50% on completion of the work.

WE ASKED HIM TO DO SOME FINISHING WORK ON THE MASTER CLOSET THAT WAS A LITTLE TRICKY AND DID NOT TURN OUT AS ANY OF US THOUGHT IT WOULD - HOWEVER WE WORKED THROUGH IT TOGETHER AND AGREED ON WHAT THE OUTCOME SHOULD BE AND WE WERE HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. BENNETT HAS A GOOD WORK ETHIC AND WAS EASY TO WORK WITH. HIS CLOSET DESIGN WAS EXCELLENT!

IF I COULD RATE BENNETT AN A++ IN ALL CATEGORIES I WOULD. BENNETT'S PRICE WAS EXTREMELY REASONABLE COMPARED TO OTHER ESTIMATES I HAD GOTTEN. HE FOLLOWED MY ROOM SPECIFICATIONS EXACTLY. BENNETT WAS EXTRAORDINARILY PROFESSIONAL AND ALMOST SHOCKINGLY NEAT. I STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW HE DISPOSED OF THE LARGE CHUNKS OF DRYWALL AND BOARDS WITHOUT LEAVING A TRAIL OF DEBRIS AS OTHER WORKERS HAVE. STUDS WERE PERFECTLY ALIGNED TO MAKE FOR EVEN DRYWALL INSTALLATION. DOOR WAS APPROPRIATELY RELOCATED. HE WAS COURTEOUS, PROMPT, METICULOUSLY NEAT, OBVIOUSLY ENJOYED HIS CRAFT, AND WORKED WITH EXCEPTIONAL SPEED AND EFFICIENCY. HE PURCHASED HIGH GRADE LUMBER, WHICH DID NOT HAVE WARPS IN IT. THUS ALLOTTING FOR EVEN DRYWALLING.
Description of Work: BENNETT REMOVED THREE WALLS AND ADDED THE STUD WALLS IN CEILING FOR THE EXPANSION OF MY BASEMENT REC ROOM. THIS REMODEL INVOLVED THE REPOSITIONING OF THE CEILING SINCE THREE ROOMS WERE MADE INTO ONE. THE CEILING HEIGHTS MATCHED PERFECTLY.
