Ben was really helpful in preparing my new office to move in. From painting and assembling furniture to building a kitchenette, his work was excellent. He was easy to work with and responsive. He communicated and was available. I appreciated his work and will continue to use him as necessary.

Great! Ben is very professional and I will be calling him anytime I need a handyman or carpentry work done. Very good with detailed estimates and explaining progress and his invoices. He will be honest and tell you if something is not going to work also.

I recommend Ben to any person or family who wants the handiwork or remodel completed on their homes done right. A colleague of mine referred Ben to me for remodeling our basement and I’m happy to pay it forward. Ben did all things opposite of what I dreaded in a handyman/builder/contractor. His pricing was appropriate, he had A+ customer service skills and he did incredible work on our house. His pricing was fair. He was the lowest of a few other companies I explored. Also, whenever I told friends and family what he was charging for his work, they always responded, “Wow!” His customer service skills were ten levels above any other contractor/handyman/builder I’ve ever come across. He answered the phone every single time I called…literally every time. He sent line-item pricing in estimates that were easy to follow and clear. He also corresponded with and helped me navigate the many other vendors (electrician/plumber/HVAC, etc) of the project so that schedules and work were seamless. Finally, his work was excellent. He’s a self-proclaimed (and independently verified) perfectionist. He re-drywalled a section of a wall (I never noticed it) that wasn’t “quite right.” Without us asking, he put three coats of paint on a sliding door that really needed it. He also never shied away from any type of work, from drywalling, to framing, to demoing, to painting, to removing wallpaper, to finishing egress windows, to remodeling closets, to installing sinks/countertops/doors/vanities, to even mounting t.v.’s. My wife, toddler, parents, in-laws and I are obsessed with the new basement playroom and “grandparents suite” he created for us and we will continue to call him for routine handiwork or other construction work in the future. I would recommend Ben to anyone.
Description of Work: Basement remodel including living area, bathroom and bedroom.

Very well. Ben is invested in getting it right for his customers. He helped find the right window style for a window replacement project which involved quite a bit of research. He is willing to make changes and adjustments as projects evolve or change.
Description of Work: Ben did several projects for us including repairing and replacing wood siding on our house and rebuilding the front porch.
