PORTFOLIO

Dogwood Way

Ben drew the plans and every detail. He designed the exterior, including the Skycove windows, and the study, the deck, the concrete walkways and stairways, the railings, and the retaining walls. Studio Athena did the interior design and chose the exterior paint colors.

In 2024 and 2025 we remodeled the house inside and out. We rebuilt the interior stairway with a new window and a lit handrail, vaulted the great room ceiling, and added an arched window. In the study we built cabinets, bookshelves and a wet bar, installed Lemurian Blue granite countertops, and had a cloudy sky painted on the ceiling. We added walnut fluting around the entry closet and fir fluting in the dining room. The kitchen has the same granite, with a new gas cooktop on the island. We refinished the oak floors and laid new oak in the study and around the stairs. An ERV brings in fresh air.

Outside, we wrapped the walls and roof in Rockwool exterior insulation for energy efficiency, then installed Hardie Artisan siding and FastPlank aluminum soffits for their aesthetic value and wildfire protection. The house has a new roof with solar panels and batteries, two SPAN panels, new gutters and new exterior doors. We rebuilt the front stairway on new footings with new retaining walls, planters, stucco and cable railing. We added new concrete stairs on the north and south sides of the house. We rebuilt the upper balcony and resurfaced the lower one.

“The work from Ben and the team at Ben the Builder exceeded my expectations!! From design to completion, I was continually impressed with their high level of expertise.

The team is punctual, respectful, helpful, professional and personable. They always go above and beyond in everything they do!

Their level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is nothing short of perfection!

They have a relationship with the subcontractors that they use, which provides another level of trust for the client.

My home has been completely transformed. Bed/bath remodel, sliding door addition, gas fireplace addition, small deck and pergola, full kitchen remodel, laundry room entry enlargement, paint, fixtures and flooring. I couldn’t be happier with the results!

I have hired Ben the Builder three times, and will again! I highly recommend Ben and the team at Ben the Builder!”

“Ben and his crews have always provided superior service for our home projects. They are so well organized, always on time and above all, easy to communicate with to make sure the project turns out just the way we planned.

Our most recent job was replacing our falling-down wooden deck. Ben recommended using composite decking materials which have turned out to be a fabulous choice.

Several years ago we also did a bathroom, taking it from a dull pastel wasteland to a gloriously contemporary spa-like space. We asked the company to take some risks with design and color choices, but the blazing reds were an absolute hit!

All in all, we can recommend Ben the Builder as our top choice when it’s time to make your dreams come true.”

“We had Ben The Builder team remodel the top floor of our home, complete overhaul of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Ben was a pleasure to work with during the design phase, always very accommodating and professional. Where we had specific asks he made it happen, and in areas we didn’t know where to start, he provided options and suggestions. Once the project kicked off, John was extremely easy to work with during day to day activities. The entire crew was professional, friendly, and highly skilled – not to mentioned they finished on schedule! We loved the results and are excited to continue working with BTB on future phases of our home remodeling.”

“We’ve worked with Ben the Builder on several projects, a couple of which required significant precision and expertise. We have been totally impressed with their professionalism, preparation, communication, skill, and follow-through. We did some travel while projects were going on and could trust them completely; they get the job done, and leave our home neat and clean. We will be working with them again!”

“Ben the Builder converted two rooms in our house – one to a media room and one to an exercise room. The media room had been a basement and was totally unfinished, the exercise room was an adjoining room that had subfloor, electrical, and insulation.

The project was pretty much flawless. Our on-site supervisor, John, was a joy to work with. We appreciated how communicative he was about everything – we always knew what was happening and what to expect – a skill that he has honed to an art – and he was just plain fun to have around. In addition, all of Ben’s crew and subs were top-notch, friendly, and expert at their professions.

Ben provided a fixed-fee contract, so we never worried about getting hit for “extras”. His initial estimate was higher than others, but we had no concerns about the cost increasing from the contract price – which was important to us, as we didn’t want any surprises. I am an engineer, and well-versed in the pitfalls of other types of construction contracts. In addition, I have initiated and managed six remodels and two house builds for my personal homes, and this remodel was the easiest by far.

We will be singing Ben’s praises to anyone who needs a recommendation for a contractor. He is simply the best.”

“I am so pleased with my new bathroom. It turned out exactly like I had wanted. Ben also remodeled a neighbor’s bathroom. After seeing his work and being highly recommend by my neighbor I chose his company. I was not disappointed. They gave me quality work with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. I hope to have another project done in the future with them.”

“Looking around our vacant Ashland bungalow, we realized everything was damaged, worn out, broken, outdated or just plain unattractive. We wondered how we could possibly undertake a complete renovation of our beloved little home. It became clear that we would need a competent contractor who could take everything out and away, and start over! Luckily, we knew of Ben the Builder. Several months later, we met Ben and his foreman, John, at the property for our final walk through. What an amazing transformation! Every aspect of the job was handled at the highest level, from design and installation of a new energy efficient heat/AC system to design and installation of a completely remodeled kitchen and bath, to all new floors, paint, hardware, laundry, attic insulation!

Ben and Rachel were an absolute pleasure to work with, knowledgeable and flexible and creative as they walked us through all the choices we needed to make before the job began, and throughout the duration of the job. The work was done according our predetermined schedule, and involved a number of subcontractors who gave the job their highest effort. Cabinets, paint, plumbing, electrical – all came together for a fabulous final result. We give Ben the Builder and his team the highest possible grade and enthusiastically recommend him for any type of building project. Five stars!”
