Not what I expect and definitely not the right contractor for me.
Description of Work: I wanted to remodeled 2 bathrooms; one larger bathroom was to be split into 2 smaller full size baths. This contractor is ontime and provided instant quote. However, it seems they just come up with an expensive estimate out of nowhere and for what appears what the eye is saying the price should be. One huge turn off during the estimate visit was that all the things I wanted to do were a problem and got disregarded. All of the sudden the person who was providing the estimate wanted to have a project of his own. The impression I got was this contractor wants to charge a lot of money and do the bare minimum. Also, you need to wait months and months to get the project started and that was another issue I was completely turned off by.

The guy was very knowledgeable, but it was very obvious they were going to try to sell us the most expensive option. Their quotes came in significantly higher than the other places I talked to.

They are honest, professional, punctual, and generally do decent work. Occasionally their work was less than satisfactory of first pass, but they always returned to make it right. They generally tend to be more expensive than some contractors, but you get what you pay for. I generally end up hiring them after getting estimates from other companies, because I know that I can count on them to do the job right.
Description of Work: I have used Bennett Contracting for mutliple jobs over the years, including insulation, siding repair, roof repair, deck replacement, bathroom remodeling, & electrical rewiring.

Bennette is by far the best contractor I have worked with. They are very customer focused , they worked to ensure the vision I had for my projects was fullfilled. The workteam arrived and maintained the schedule they promised, stayed within budget, cleaned their work area, and simply did a very good job. , I would hire them again, in a minute.

Awesome. Sean, Steve and (forgot other guys last name sorry) he was a lead carpenter as Sean was. These guys were great. 1st off let me say I hate contractors. They rush the job, use sub quality materials, charge to much and don't communicate. These guys did not do any of this. They came in evaluated, figured out what needed to be done. Told me what needed to be done and mission accomplished. Contractor problem solved. I chose these guys because their logo says, Since 1915. That has something to be said. They will be around if a problem arises after the work is done. Very impressed with these guys. I told them I didn't want to mess with this bathroom for 20 years! You know what. I'm not messing with it for 20 years, except some painting over the years. I cant thank these guys enough. Top notch organization. They are on my call list for future projects I don't feel comfortable with or don't want to do. Money well spent!!! Oh, one final note. The wood (wall and framing) was so rotted behind the shower wall, that it needed to be removed. Could have taken the wood out with your finger it was so damaged. They removed the wall from the inside and re framed it without disturbing the siding!! WHAT! Yeah these guys know whats up.
Description of Work: Needed a shower that had a window in it, grout around shower wall cracked or shifted and water go behind the wall. Needed window removed. New shower walls and fixtures and carpentry and insulation replaced.

Our deck stairs were very poorly made on the house we bought so we needed them modified to make the steps larger and wanted a gate for the top of the stairs. They placed the stair backs and wider planks to make the steps better and build the gate as well.

All 10's & "A's"! They are awesome! I had one primary worker named Dennis. Because of the problems with the bathroom that the previous owner had put this addition on with the bathroom and they did some things incorrectly. So, they had to use a plumber to go downstairs and crawl in the dirt. It was a long job. I was working at the time and I trusted them in my house, they kept in good communication with me. I would leave notes, I would often talk to the worker, Dennis before I left for work. The communication was excellent, there were no problems. Nothing, but wonderful things to say about them!

All the top, way top! The estimate guy came out first and he showed me a couple things that I liked. They give you these squares that are about 1 inch by 1 inch to pick your siding colors. After a while I realized that it wasn?t big enough, so he got me big pieces and for the shutters that ordered 2 shutters that were in stock, because I couldn?t make up my mind. They were just patient, I wanted to make a decision, but I didn?t want to regret it. They gave address of other house with the same, couple of my colors. I drove around and looked at them. I can?t think of anything they could have done better. They were wonderful! The estimator guy is named George and then they had a guy named John who was the siding supervisor. They were here for many days. With all the jobs, they clean up wonderfully. They are awesome!

I picked up the cell, called him and he said he would be right there and we were all still sitting on the porch. He was there with 20 minutes. They just knew exactly how to approach it. It amazes me with these people. they just know what to do and do it. They did a phenomenal job.
Description of Work: I used Bennett Contracting Inc when the ceiling came down. They screwed furring strips into the joists above and recovered it with a fiber board that looks like sheet rock but lighter material then plastered it and painting. They did it in a way to save all the ornamental plaster. There was a big medallion in the room and the salvaged all that.

They were very responsive. If I called up about anything they responded to it. They did have to redo the floor 3 times before they got it right. I had a couple problems with their lead carpenter. He was not that good, but he had an assistant that was excellent. Very conscientious. All the outlets worked except 1. It was a row of LED lights under the cabinet. Only half of the bank worked and we didn't realize it till after they left. They suggested installing a bunch of lights in the eating area off from the kitchen. It was to much money. It was way to bright so we had them take those out. If there was a mistake the company would come out and fix it. It started out well but, as the project went on they was not that responsive.
Description of Work: They installed lights and outlets. Rewired the kitchen. remodeled kitchen.
