Wallingford Remodeling Contractor Reviews
You did a great job with our intricate buit-ins. Even though, our remodeling happened at the end tail of COVID, which added some time to our project, the wait was well worth it. I highly recommend you to all of our friends. Thank you!
We chose Bencar Building Systems for our first-floor renovation, and we couldn’t be happier! After looking into many contractors, we chose Bencar based on our initial meeting with Mark and Nancy. From the beginning, it felt like a partnership with Bencar. They listened to our needs and provided us with feedback and ideas. Together, with the design team of Daryl and Dani at Bender, we designed a floor plan and a beautiful kitchen and bath that fit the space and met all of our needs. The communication with everyone at Bencar was impressive! Anytime we had a question, we could reach out and get an answer. Lisa and Cody were responsive, collaborative and always available. Furthermore, we received a day by day calendar of the work that would be done and who would be doing it, and Bencar stuck to it! Each day, we were amazed at the quality of their work and how seamlessly the plans were executed. Bencar takes pride in their work and their attention to detail is impeccable. We are still amazed at how they beautifully transformed our space! We highly recommend Bencar Building Systems for a remodeling project and look forward to working with them, again, in the future!
The entire Bencar team was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I really enjoyed my continual communication with Cathy in the office. Cody and Evan were not only a pleasure to have in our home, but their work left little to be desired. We would like to thank Mark and Nancy and the entire Bencar team for giving us our absolute dream kitchen!
The schedule we had set out was tight and you guys got all the work done on time if not before
We enjoyed doing business with all of the Bencar staff, as everyone from Bencar was pleasant and comfortable to deal with.
Overall excellence from our first meeting to the completion of our 2 projects. Mark, Nancy and their entire team could not be more professional and helpful. Cathy is an absolute delight! Fantastic communication, all of our calls were answered or returned promptly. And we loved the timeline of our projects so we knew exactly what would happen
We want to thank Mark and Nancy for the very organized approach to this project with meetings, project plans, regular visits to the job site and providing recommendations and guidance through the process. An A-1 Team!
They did an amazing job on our fireplace! Working with you was a pleasure from start to finish
How prompt and professional you all were in dealing with. Greg and his partner were excellent in their workmanship and professionalism. The tile man was amazing in his artistry.
I have been meaning to write and thank you for helping my parents renovate their bathroom in Wallingford last year. My parents are very pleased with the results. Your staff did an outstanding job and the renovated bathroom is much more functional and looks great!
Mark, Nancy & all their staff are wonderful to deal with. I had them do a Trex deck on the front of my house. I also had them do sheet rock and electrical in my living room/kitchen. Every time the job was done within budget and the jobs were done well before the estimated job time. I have already decided to have them do my kitchen and bathrooms when I am financially able to do that. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
We are so pleased with our bathroom remodel. Mark and Nancy are a pleasure to work with, they are responsive and professional. The people they have working with them are also responsive and professional, and skilled. The work went smoothly, on time, on budget. The result is everything we hoped for. We would definitely work with them again and recommend them to friends.
We are so happy with our new kitchen. The Bencar team is great to work with on all aspects of remodeling projects. They are extremely reliable, trustworthy and care about the work they produce. We highly recommend their business for any remodeling or construction needs. Bencar is he only contractor we will work with to do home improvements!
Everyone who worked on our project was efficient, effective, reliable and skilled. Everyone was friendly and personable throughout. Much of our project was done during the nasty winter of 2015, and work barely stopped or slowed down. We really enjoyed working with the entire Bencar crew. We liked that Mark came every morning, and often during the day as well to make sure everything was going according plan. He responded quickly to our requests and needs. In addition, Mark was cooperative and helpful when we made suggestions, upgraded materials, and deviated from from project plans.
Both of the guys working in the house were great. They worked well with my father in law who was also working on the house. I really appreciated the schedule of work so that we always knew what was being done and when. When we told our friends and family about the work being done everyone expressed great concern with making sure you guys got work done when you said and you didn't take forever, but right from the beginning we knew this wouldn't be an issue from the communication we received, and as first time homebuyers that eased our fears and made us feel comfortable putting it in your hands.
Everything happened according to the schedule and there were no surprises. The people that worked on our home were professional, knowledgeable, and hard working. We would refer Bencar Building to our family and friends.
Mark, Cody, and Craig could not have been nicer. The knowledge and talent they all had to complete the job was over and above any other contractor we have ever hired before. Best contractor in the area by far.
The bathroom looks absolutely great, Wow! On time and on budget, as always you guys have a five star out of five star rating.
We had confidence that the job was going to be done right.
Bencar Building Systems recently converted our back deck to a beautiful screen porch. Mark and Nancy Benson were wonderful to work with, as well as their entire team. All of our questions were answered promptly They worked within our budget and had great ideas that we hadn't thought of. We are so impressed with the craftsmanship and details of our new room. We have been wanting to do this project for years and we had the best people do it for us! We couldn't be happier with the room and we are looking forward to enjoying it for many years! Thank you Mark and Nancy and all of Bencar Building Systems.
The carpenters were friendly, moved the furniture that was in their way, and did a really great job cleaning up after themselves. I love the finished wall and so does everyone that sees it. I will refer Bencar to my family and friends in the future.
Expectations were met throughout the project and job was actually completed sooner and completed neatly and perfectly. Nancy was very prompt and efficient with correspondence and returning phone calls. Mark called to confirm time and date of start of project. Both a pleasure to work with. The entire project went smooth and done professionally, efficiently, and on a timely basis. The attention and courtesy given to me, the customer was extremely refreshing and I will definitely call upon them for future work. This company I will definitely recommend to friends and co-workers.
More than a whole month later and I still feel like I have a brand new house. I am so in love with my kitchen.... Bencar you Rock!
I really enjoyed the professionalism of the workers (Cody and Evan). Not only were they good at what they do but they were extremely professional and respectful. Besides, they did great work! I would use Bencar again anytime I need work done and I will (already have) recommend your company to anyone I know. As I stated on the phone, we are extremely satisfied with the work that was done and Cody and Evan were extremely professional and real gentlemen. I think that is what impressed me the most.
Cody and Evan were professional and attending to details of the project. Overall, pleased with the quality of the work and professionalism exhibited by the team members.
Appreciated the responsiveness to my questions and addressing issues that came up without delay. The bath and tub look beautiful. Your workers came on time and were productive the entire time they were here. Cody did a great job with the drywall and taping. All the workers kept the carpet covered and cleaned up at the end of every day. Also, had a positive experience working with Mark and Nancy too. Plumbers also did a good job, and Benders fulfilled our order early which I appreciated.
We are extremely happy with the quality of work done on our bathroom and second floor; everything turned out exactly as we hoped. Mark, Evan, and Cody were professional, detailed oriented and conscientious, not to mention pleasant and respectful. The subcontractors were also great to work with and would highly recommend Bencar Building Systems.
Everyone was a joy to work with. Especially appreciated Craig & Greg who showed up on time or early and stayed until the clean up was complete. Very polite and conscientious. Mark, it was always comforting when you checked in every day.
Great company and staff... Outstanding
Professionalism of all the crew, the OUTSTANDING quality of work, the communication process, and the feeling that the project was a collaboration between us all... it is hard to pick just one thing that we enjoyed the most.
The professionalism that Mark showed throughout the design and planning process was something you don't often see today. Cody and the entire Bencar staff's attention to detail and ability to adjust to changes made the construction process a breeze. They made every effort to not upset our operation while still getting the job done.
I believe you have a great team with master craftsmen Craig and Greg, who are very meticulous, skilled, organized and easy to communicate regarding questions. The area was always tidied up after a days work. Your electrician John was wonderful in handling the work and placing needed lighting where it belonged according to proper specifications (and helping me with a few extra tasks). He had an apprentice that was very helpful too besides the electrical work! Your second team comprised of Cody and John were just as great too; everyone was wonderfully kind and whatever worries I had, they listened and helped. Did I leave anyone out? Of course! Mark and Nancy, besides being professional with the project, (the architect design completed the house) - you responded quickly to all my questions and concerns, your recommendations were on target that resulted in a beautiful addition to our house, yes the garage is beautiful!
Bencar Building Systems great reputation, value, personality, and attention to detail are why we chose them for our job. We liked their commitment to the job and promptness.
The building of our pool deck process could not have gone smoother! Craig was extremely professional, personable, reliable, and a pleasure to work with.
Great Company to work with, quality work, and job finished on time. Nice people to deal with and never had a problem. This was our second time having work done on our house and will call Bencar Building Systems for more projects to be done in the very near future.
Our door and garage door moldings were done in one day. Neatness at the house was outstanding.
Bencar Building Systems went above and beyond my expectations throughout every single step of this process. I have zero complaints!! Communication skills and accountability are simply exceptional. Nancy (super organized, highly reliable) and Mark (excellent contractor, highly reliable) are really and truly a dream team, and their team members are all a pleasure to work with as well. I knew that Bencar was the team for us after reading online reviews, and the renovation experience was even more pleasant and organized than I expected. The job was finished on time, and there were no hidden costs or scheduling problems. Each subcontractor was reliable and hard-working and responsible. The workmanship was excellent. I will definitely hire them again at some point in the future, and will most highly recommend to my friends and family.
Your crew was very sensitive to our needs. They even noticed flaws in the door and immediately returned it for a new one. Some contractors would have just installed it and left. Thanks!
The timing was tricky because I needed the project done before Christmas. You assured me each time I called panicking that it would be done. And it was. Very polite, prompt, and professional. You always responded to us in a very timely manner. So many times in the past, people (from other companies) either take days to get back to us, or never call or show up. Everyone in your company is extremely friendly and the work is outstanding.
Bencar has done two jobs for me. 1) slider on deck and 2) molding installation for a finished basement. Called them again after great results from the first job, for the second. I am going to use them again this spring to repair a bad job from another contractor. If I had a big job, Bencar would certainly be one to engage for a quote. Prompt, efficient and responsible; their work was solid, and they cleaned up when finished. Bencar said what they would do and when, and they did what they said they would do. Great experiences with suppliers are hard to come by these days.
Bencar was fantastic. Mark and Nancy make a perfect team. When they arrived the first day to give an estimate, they paid attention to my plan and my budget and also gave great suggestions to optimize the project. although I was nervous about starting the bathroom and kitchen remodels after I moved in (due to my tight schedule), Bencar was very careful and covered everything in plastic including our new furniture and brand new rug. They sent a detailed schedule at the beginning of the project, and stuck to it - sometimes even getting ahead. I was very comfortable having them work while I had to be at my own job, and any questions I emailed to Nancy were always met with a response in less than 24 hours. I am very pleased with the results - the kitchen and bathrooms are beautiful! Because they were so good at communicating throughout the process, the punch list was short, and completed in a timely fashion. The price was in the mid-range of the estimates that I got, but I think the customer service and quality workmanship got me a really good value for my dollar. I would not hesitate a second to work with Mark and Nancy in the future!
Mark and Nancy have a great operation for home improvement. Not only are they personable and knowledgeable about what they are doing, but the work completed at our home was done on-budget, on-time, and was of quality work. The contractors employed were all professional, personable, clean, and knew their trades. Tearing up half our upstairs, and having our family room not usable with two little ones living in the house, they and their team of contractors made the process less stressful. We love our addition to our home. I highly recommend Mark and Nancy for any home improvement need.
I was please with the work done and am thankful to have a ceiling again. The workers were gentlemen - established a clean and neat work space.
Wonderful job - very pleased!
Thank you very much. Steve did a nice job - as always. I already heard from the tenants that they are very pleased. I appreciate you fitting it in so quickly
Thank you for your prompt, good and courteous service.
Everyone, including those who know something about building, have been impressed with the quality of the work that has been done, and I have appreciated your responsiveness, your helpfulness, your good humor, and the pride you have in your work. I know this sounds like a commercial, but we made the right decision when we decided to give the job to you.
How much I appreciate your patience and help redoing our house. Without you I wouldn't have known where to turn for the endless number of decisions one must make. It's more than I hoped for since we first started planning the project. Our home is now warm, friendly and always inviting.
Feel free to give my name to anyone who'd like a reference for your workmanship. I am impressed by your timeliness as well as the workmanship! And my mud room is exactly what I hoped for!
Due to ice and water damage, the ceilings and walls of the entire top floor of our house had to be repaired. that involved three bedrooms, a full bath, foyer, living room and a den with a 20 ft cathedral ceiling. Furniture had to be moved from the house into temporary storage in a POD, the replaced after the work was completed. Mark and his crew took care of everything, ceiling scraping, removing the popcorn texture, taping and painting. They removed wallpaper from the bathroom walls and taped and repainted all the walls. To complete the tall walls in the den, they build a temporary structure that rested on the loft railing. They also moved all the furniture out of the house and returned it when the job was finished. I had interviewed three other contractors before a friend recommended Bencar. I felt I'd just be"settling" with the others. As soon as I met with Mark, (who was on time for our appointment!), I knew I'd found the right company for the job. The deal maker was that they would work around us, and we wouldn't have to move out of the house. Mark and his staff were unfailingly polite and professional; they treated our house like a home, not a job site. The work was completed on time and on budget. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or to use them again.
I used Bencar Building Systems to redo my kitchen a few years back, and they did a fantastic job. The architect they worked with to design the kitchen was fabulous. They were in and out within three weeks - that was with demolition and installation. The tile work was fantastic, the flooring - amazing, the granite countertops were also done very swiftly, and they was spot on to what they said they were going to do. Great company to work with for anything in your house. I actually plan on calling them back when it comes time to do more things for myself around the house.
I first needed to use somebody to fix a shingle on my house, and I was told to contact Bencar through the condominium association where I live. They came very promptly and fixed the problem, and the charge was reasonable. Unfortunately about a year and a half later the same shingle came off the house - we had a couple of big storms. Well, they came again and fixed it very promptly, and they didn't charge me as much the second time. They kind of gave me credit for what had been done the first time, and I was very appreciative of that. I would definitely go back to them again for whatever I need. They were very polite, very clean, very neat, and just very, very courteous and very easy to work with. I highly recommend them.
We have used Bencar Building Systems many, many times and have nothing but totally positive, wonderful results with them. They are very professional and get right back to you. They've done so many projects at our house from building the back porch steps and the front porch steps, to our lower steps, a closet for my daughter, and beautiful finish carpentry work. We can't say enough - they are wonderful! We chose them because of their reputation, and it has only grown. We wish Nancy and Mark the best ever. Thank you!
Mark with Bencar Building Systems renovated the first floor of our home in 2007. The project focused on a complete new kitchen, mudroom and hardwood floors throughout the first floor. I had a very specific time frame and the project began and ended exactly as he had promised. But the real joy was working with Mark and the end result even better than I had ever anticipated. The kitchen is a one-of-a-kind and the craftsmanship is extraordinary.
We've hired Bencar Building Systems several times for projects including a door, installing ceiling fans and repairing a ceiling. Every time they've been prompt, professional and courteous. Their workers are neat and clean, and we've been very happy with all of the work they have done. We highly recommend Bencar Systems.
