 “We had Ben the Builder organize and complete significant work on our crawlspace, foundation, electrical infrastructure, ducts, drywall, outside siding, plumbing, and drainage. We found them to be friendly, professional, punctual, thorough, and also found that they repeatedly checked with us about the work (making sure they had met/exceeded our expectations). We also found them easy to communicate with, receptive to feedback, and concerned with producing high quality results. During the course of the work, we were forced to add a few parts to the original plan (replacing the wiring was something that was discovered as the foundation and crawlspace were being worked on), and Ben (the owner) was very flexible and easy to work with as we modified our plans. He was also very transparent with the pricing. We will absolutely hire Ben and his team again for future work on our house.”

 “We had a great experience with Ben. This was our first experience with a contractor and we were very satisfied with both the work that was done and the bidding process. We had a bathroom remodeled, the project was done within the timeframe that Ben gave us, the project with within budget and the quality of work was excellent. Plus, as we have young children – Ben and his staff were great with them! Very happy with our experience.”

“We live in a good house, and thanks to Ben’s expertise, our favorite spot – out on the deck where we can enjoy the sun and see the mountains — is just amazing. It’s now a lovely, strongly made and private space where we can sit and read, have supper and take a nap. Ben listened to our interests, developed a plan, gave us a competitive quote and brought in quality workers. Best of all, he kept in touch throughout the project and made sure everything was working out the way we wanted and even followed up even after the project was done. Next up, new lighting and new facing on an exterior overhand and then new floors. Ben the Builder is the best.”

 “Ben is FABULOUS!! I am an Ashland homeowner who resides on the east coast — so finding a quality contractor was that much more challenging. Lamenting my predicament with a local merchant during a recent visit to town, Ben’s name surfaced. I asked a couple questions from a variety angles. “Has he worked on your home?” “Were you pleased with the results?” “Was his pricing fair?” What’s his demeanor like?” “Would you hire him to more work for you?” The answers were positive and sincere so I gave him a call. What can I say beyond FABULOUS?!? He was very polite and responsive. He accommodated my out-of-town scheduling needs to ensure we met in person and walked through my Ashland home together to discuss the job. His quote was reasonable and I hired him to perform the work. His team interacted extremely well with my tenant and Ben kept in touch along the way. The result was great!! If you’re looking for quality and competence, consider making Ben the Builder your first call!!”

 “Ben did a major renovation in my 100-year-old home that included our kitchen and an adjacent stairwell, laundry room, and bathroom. The project was a total gut that included demolition of a dropped ceiling that had flooded with sewage.

He rebuilt the exterior doorway, replaced all the original plumbing and electrical in the kitchen and basement, handled asbestos abatement, and refurbished the original windows, pantry built-ins, and as much trim that could be salvaged. 

The new kitchen has all-new subfloor and flooring, tile, light fixtures, custom-designed cabinets, wood trim in the historic style, and paint. 

The project also included lots of “honey-do” add-ons that included hand-fitted “dutchmen” in old doorways, several custom-made screen doors, and rehabilitating all the old window, door, and cabinet hardware. They also replaced multiple false beams under the eaves on our home’s two-story exterior. 

The renovation was a huge undertaking, but Ben was always sensitive and accommodating. His crew and subcontractors are pleasant and professional, and I never felt uncomfortable being home alone with any of them. 

I have never collaborated with a more skilled and professional contractor. Ben is not intimidated by the idiosyncrasies and surprises inherent in tackling a historic property, and our renovation reflects the high level of his professionalism and craftsmanship. We could not be happier with the outcome.”

“Ben’s remodel of my bathroom and pantry was flawless from start to finish. He and his crew were professional and personable. Their attention to detail was consistently evident. I could not be more satisfied, and highly recommend.”

”Ben and his crew worked on our beloved family home to expand the livable space by building an addition into our old carport. I worked with Ben from the beginning in creating the plans to best utilize the additional space. Ben had great insight into how to design the layout and where tolocate all of the features we wanted to include. Ben was also great at listening to my own ideas and desires and working that into the plan as well.

We lived in our home during the renovation and everyone working for Ben was absolutely wonderful. We have two small kids and a dog and everyone was safe and secure during the whole project. Our needs were always thought of and we were surprisingly unaffected by a whole exterior wall of our house being opened up. The crew also worked while we were away on vacation and I felt confident and safe with both our home being in their hands without us and also in their ability to makedecisions without us.

Some particular appreciation of Ben’s services:

1. His attention to detail is immaculate. All the little details were thought of on each project, no matter the size.
2. Ben was super flexible and accommodating with us continuously adding projects to his list. He always let us know how it would affect both the price and the timeline, keeping us informed on how our project progressed.
3. Ben was incredibly professional and organized. His invoices each month were very detailed and I always could tell exactly what we were paying for each month.
4. Ben allowed us to be as hands-on as we desired. He clearly stated what was needed for us to move forward if we were going to tackle certain aspects ourself.
5. The very few small concerns I had were quickly remedied by Ben and his crew. I felt comfortable both voicing my concern and thrilled in how they were approached and fixed. 

Our home is now one bedroom larger and excitingly, one bathroom richer. We whole heartedly recommend Ben the Builder. Our addition is exactly what we were hoping for and couldn’t have been completed by anyone better then Ben. We are anticipating more projects in the future and hopeful we can rely on Ben to tackle them.”
