We own the Lamb and Lion Inn in Barnstable on Cape Cod. Our inn has high marks all around from the guests, however our personal space was another story! Our kitchen overlooks the courtyard, pool & hot tub, and its a lot of fun, but a linoleum & Formica meca! YIKES! We decided this winter it was time to take care of the innkeepers so a new kitchen was in order. However, there is no such thing as a millionaire B&B owner, so our budget was a huge issue. Lee and his wife Meoghan came to the inn and from that moment on it was a pleasure doing business with Benchmark. They are easy to work with, have great vision and really understand what a tight budget is. Rather than getting whacked with huge construction costs we were shown how we could simply re-face the existing ugliness, change what needed changing and simply hide what could be hidden. Lee came up with fantastic space saving ideas and he even saved our 2 kitchen islands, giving them a facelift instead of replacing them. At the end of it all, Lee and his caring & careful team left us with a kitchen we LOVE, and for much less money than we had originally imagined. We have much more storage space, and he even through in glass door cabinet with a motion night light (a great calling card--every time the light goes on we think of Lee--was this done on purpose? Hmmm...) On a more personal note we truly appreciated Lees easy going personality, great sense of humor and communication skills. When he & his team were caught at another job that ran a week late he called us right away and kept us posted as to his timing during the small delay, which ended up to be shorter that expected. On Cape Cod we have a huge problem with workers showing up late, or not at all, and not hearing from them. Its torturous! Benchmarks professionalism made working with them something we would gladly do again in the future, if another project comes along. If anyone needs anymore praise than that to help them make up their minds please call us at the Lamb and Lion Inn!

Would definitely choose to do business with Benchmark again! Removed and replaced kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, upgrade sink, replaced cooktop and double oven with range and wall oven. Included trim for future under-cabinet lighting. Enlarged island i.e. cabinets and granite. Went very well. Some unexpected details needed attention and were handled immediately and appropriately. Kept homeowner involved as needed and as desired, including granite and appliance delivery. Excellent communication between supervisor and Benchmark office and homeowner that developed into very good rapport. Very satisfied with the quality of the product and the quality of the work. My wife sings praises about her new kitchen. Appreciate the price break with this company for the cabinets and through this company for appliances and granite and special sink. Appreciate the advice about under-cabinet lighting, cabinet hardware, addition of granite backsplash and window sill.

I cannot say enough great things about BenchMark Home Improvements! I needed my kitchen remodeled and decided to give them a call based on the excellent reviews I had read about them and those previous reviewers did not steer me wrong. Lee is very personable and he really took his time explaining the services he offers and helped me decide on a plan to make my kitchen work for me. I decided to have my cabinets refaced, turn a closet into a great looking pantry and go with a custom built in microwave in my lower cabinets to make room for the chimney vent hood I wanted above my stove. I feel the price was great for the work I had done and the customer service and level of professionalism is second to none! A special thanks to Pete as well! His personable nature, professionalism, careful workmanship and attention to detail are greatly appreciated....and the pups thank you for the treats! :)

When we began shopping for cabinets we just about had a stroke, they cost so much. We needed a ton of cabinets and would have ended up spending a small fortune. The price of Benchmark Home Improvements refacing cabinets is much less than all new and competitive with the big boxes, and the installation could not have gone any smoother. One of the new cabs got sort of busted up in shipping, of course they got us a new one ASAP. All trim work and alignment came out flawless. There was also a last minute change to the refrigerator surround woodwork, which they also handled no problem. And due to a few oddly placed electric outlets and pipes, fancy cuts and fitment had to be done.. no problem. I am sure these complications that Benchmark Home Improvements gracefully dealt with, would have been expensive change-orders from a typical contractor. I Highly recommend them!!

We cant say enough positive things about our experience with Benchmark Home Improvements! From the moment we met Lee, we knew he was the guy for the job. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He and his crew were amazing and paid attention to and took great care in every detail of the work. They completed the job in a very short amount of time and communicated every step of the way. When they got stuck at our home in a snowstorm to get the job done, they even shoveled the entire driveway for me, while I was home with my sick kids. Talk about above and beyond!! And the kitchen now looks amazing...people keep asking when we had time for a full remodel! They have no idea it was only refaced. Thank you Benchmark for your amazing work!

Excellent Choice for all of your contracting needs! I used them through the recommendation of a co-worker after a nightmare experience with another contractor. Let me assure you these guys could change anyones negativity about the industry. Very professional crew, and the boss is a patient and understanding guy. He explained everything in terms that I could understand and did not try to sell me on things that were obviously not needed. These guys arent pushy to sell and even completed the work on time. Ive recommended them to a family member that needed a kitchen remodeled and they once again did not disappoint. Keep up the excellent work Benchmark Home Improvements!

As a real estate professional, I have seen a lot of DIY jobs gone wrong that end up costing way more to fix than if a professional had been hired in the first place. Benchmark Home Improvements is the total package. You get someone with a great sense of design, the best contractors in town to do the work and the customer service to back it all up. Lee has a great eye for design and pulling a project together. What I also appreciated was his ability to circumvent problems before they arise. Once you begin a project there is a myriad of ways that a budget can get busted simply by not having the knowledge and expertise to think the project through.

Benchmark was fantastic to work with the whole way through. The whole thing was done in 4 weeks for 33% less than the Home Depot quote just to reface the old cabinets! Could not be happier with their work. Lee from Benchmark Home Improvements came out and took measurements, getting the process done faster than any of the others. He helped us pick out the wood and finish, which was quick and easy. They suggested the granite counter top vendor who also handled the undermount sink. Lee also suggested a lazy suzan cabinet in a previously unutilized corner that added 30 cubic feet to our storage space.
