Reviews

“We have been thrilled with every aspect of our experience with Benson Homes. From the first time that Jim met with us and walked through our home to the clean up at the end of the project, their approach has consistently been considerate and thorough. Responses are always timely and thoughtful. Their approach to getting to know your family, space, and the scope of your projects is personalized and detailed. The team developed a robust understanding of our vision that enabled them to offer creative solutions that met our project goals more fully than we had anticipated. They accomplished this while respecting our budget and timelines, which we greatly appreciated. Communication is clear, all members of the team have been a pleasure to interact with, and the craftsmanship is excellent. We are so pleased to have formed this relationship with Benson Homes, and very much look forward to future projects together.”

“I had a small space in a narrow house for a kitchen renovation. Benson Homes helped to completely reimagine the space and redid both my laundry room and powder room along with the kitchen and it feels like each change doubled (at least) the usable space. They have outstanding designers who work closely with you, but are also happy to work around your schedule. Their workers are polite and thorough - every day they completely cleaned the areas to minimize dust. All the features are high quality - Jim, the owner, is also very hands on and was responsive to all of my questions. I also loved that they gave regular updates on progress and any delays, which will happen on any project. The communication with the whole team was excellent. I couldn't be happier with the end product!”

“Jim Benson and his team at Benson Homes are the most professional, knowledgable, experienced, and likable group of employees and skilled tradesmen that you will ever meet. We originally hired Benson Homes to design and renovate our kitchen. That project grew into a redesign of nearly the entire house. During that process, the hands on involvement by the seasoned, competent Benson team reassured us that the project was proceeding as outlined with every detail discussed, and that the end results were going to be spectacular!!! Sharon and I would highly recommend Jim and his team for any building/renovating needs you have in mind. Thanks Jim!”
