We could not have imagined more responsiveness to our needs, requests and best interests. Every aspect of all work was executed with the highest expertise, professionalism, timeliness, willingness to work with budgetary constraints and the utmost thorough communication. We understand that there are variations in cost for what companies charge for some services; while Bennett's rates are not below what seems customary, their willingness to work within our budget, research and explain reasonable options, and approach the job as a whole based on our needs was extraordinary. For that and many other reasons, we give an A+ rating on all aspects of their work and service - including cost. Thank you so much - it has been about 10 months since the completion of our job and we love our kitchen even more by the day, Thank you, Bennett!!!!
Description of Work: Kitchen renovation including - multiple design consultations, counters, wall tiling, flooring, new baseboards, lighting, installation of after-market cabinet organizers, painting, additional electrical and making a custom cabinet and shelving. We also added on an unrelated deck repair while the job was in progress.

Very well, the work was very well done, on time and at the agreed upon price. The workers were obviously skilled, respectful, on site nearly every day and they cleaned up and disposed of left-over materials after the project. I always look to Bennett for any work I need done.
Description of Work: Addition to my kitchen, 2 floor addition to my place of business, two new porches on my new house - one an enclosed sun porch - and several smaller projects such as new windows.

Bennett did a poor job repairing a porch. They started the job by driving a flatbed truck onto my lawn, leaving large ruts, when they could have simply parked 10 feet away on the sidewalk. My tenant reported that they ripped out a potion of the second floor facia, which was not included in the job nor discussed. They had completed a couple of days of work and I was concerned so had a contractor I knew check out the job and he pointed out several red flags, so I terminated the job. They had already collected $3k for less than 3 days of work (the first day they couldn't work due to an electrical problem, so went home) and now are attempting to collect for the full amount of the job left partially done, with damages to the house. I'm told they used to be an excellent company and that went south when the company was resold.

They were great. The gentlemen who came and did the estimate was excellent. The crew who came and did the job, came in did their job, and cleaned up. It was great. I most defiantly would use them again.

Its been 2 - 3 years since Bennett worked on my newly purchased house. Since then, I have hired many small contrators to do jobs too small for Bennett - electrician, painter, carpenter and a not small HVAC contrator.. Without exception, about a third through each project, I started dreaming of Bennett, of how much easier, better, faster,cleaner, organized these projects would be if Bennett did the work. Professional to the nth degree. I highly recommend them for any project you might have, that they will service. I am fairly new in town...and had absolutely no idea how hard it would be to find skilled and reliable trademen. If you can batch your projects into "A Project" call Bennett. You will not be disappointed.

He showed up for the appointment. I emailed him in a timely matter with the additional information needed. I was assured I would have an estimate with in a few days. A week and a half later, I was told via e-mail that the company was given a large number of jobs and won't be able to assist me.

Response from Bennett Contracting Inc
Our estimator met with the homeowner at their home, reviewed the project and learned of their desire to complete the job by a certain date. The estimator then came back to the office, checked the schedule and determined that Bennett would not be able to complete the job by the desired date. On that basis we declined the opportunity to quote the work. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. - Greg Jackson, President

Very pleased with the work -- prompt attention to the work, when they said they'd be there they were. All work was cleaned up before the end of each day. Craftsmen were polite and knowledgeable. A pleasure to work with -- a very good resource for an old house. It's hard to find someone who understands old houses, how they're built, and what the repair entails. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Bennett Contracting has done a roof for us, dealt with aging "Philadelphia" gutters properly -- returning these important elements to functional use......which in turn helped us dry-out a basement. They also repaired and painted front and back porches, installed new stairs and railings, installed electric service for interior and exterior ceiling fans.

Response from Bennett Contracting Inc
After an initial call to our office for a repair, the owner agreed to pay to have a service tech come out and evaluate the scope of this porch repair project. Bennett scheduled a time and sent a service tech to meet with owner, who did not show up at the scheduled time. Upon arrival, we discovered the presence of asbestos. State and Federal law prevents Bennett from doing any work on this structure until the asbestos has been removed by a licensed abatement contractor. The customer was charged a $60 travel fee and provided the information they need to take the next steps. It is understandable that the customer was not happy about this news, but it should not reflect poorly on Bennett for being the messenger. - Greg Jackson, President

Bennett's crew was prompt and did a good job. The job site was clean, and they did a number of things to mitigate the disruption while the work was underway.
Description of Work: We had an unexplained leak from a shower/tub comb. Bennett came in, diagnosed the problem, corrected the problem, replaced the ceiling sheetrock in the room below, taped, sanded, and painted.

I have used a lot of contractors over the years but these guys are by far, the best. High quality workmanship, willing to work with me closely, answered all my questions, dealt professionally with change orders. I am so confident in them, I am able to head to work each day knowing all will be well. I highly recommend this company. The prices are slightly higher but the quality shows. They do what they say they will do with no corners cut. Thanks guys!!!!
