Chip and his team created a bonus room from our 3rd floor walk up attic. We had considered turning it into a bonus room for many years, and found Chip and his team by searching online. After reviewing other contractors, we decided to use Benchmark and were extremely pleased with the finished product. Chip came out a number of times to assess the project and discuss design ideas with us. We reviewed the budget and believed it was fair and comparable with what we received from other contractors. Chip was there every time to introduce his subs to us, and we felt very comfortable with each of them. Each sub Chip used was respectful, polite, and kept their work-space clean. Our third floor, due to the lines of the roof, was very challenging with many angles, so we had to make some changes along the way. Chip was accommodating with this and worked with us to make the necessary adjustments. The timeline for the job was fair but did extend a little longer than expected. Chip was easy to access when we needed him and was at our house frequently to check up and touch base on the progression.Overall, we were very pleased with the outcome, the room is beautiful, we have had many compliments, and we would have no hesitation in recommending Chip and his team at Benchmark.Thank you Chip,SE and DE
Chip, Kristen, Jon and their entire crew were extremely professional and helpful. From initial consultation to finished product, they were very open to listening to us (which is shockingly less common in this industry than you’d think!), providing design and construction advice, and helping us understand the process throughout. Our master bathroom is gorgeous and functional - definitely worth the investment. If you are looking for a bathroom remodel that isn’t just your average remodel experience - Benchmark is the way to go!
We hired Riverbirch Remodeling for our kitchen renovation after meeting with three other potential contractors. Ultimately, we chose Chip and Riverbirch for three reasons:1. Their process allows you to have a very close estimate of your final costs before getting into the weeds of what all your selections will be, which is nice. Most people dont know those fine details in the beginning, so having a good estimate of cost without those details is helpful.2. They werent the cheapest. I dont want the lowest bidder making permanent changes to my home. There are so many shortcuts remodelers can make in the form of cheap material and labor to win jobs with low customer costs. I wanted to make sure I was getting high quality workers with high quality materials. I knew I was going to get that after meeting with Chip. If you want something nice, you have to pay a little bit more to get it.3. Communication. Ive heard countless renovation horror stories, most of which involve a contractor who never returns calls or rarely communicates the details of the job. Riverbirch gets 5 stars on communication. I had daily updates on where we were with the project, and when there were delays (there will be delays), I was notified immediately and given updated, realistic timelines. The nature of our communication alone gives reason enough to hire them again.It ended up being a good choice because our kitchen turned out great! They delivered with high quality, on-budget work. I would hire them again for any future renovation projects.
Chip and company at Benchmark does great work! Its awesome to be able to see 3d renderings of your remodel before any work is done. And the finished product is spot on! Very professional, very thorough and good communication! I would highly recommend.
Chip and team did a recent (early 2020) remodel of our 1990s kitchen as well as project managed a first floor flooring upgrade. Craftsmanship and customer service was excellent! The 3D design created upfront was very beneficial as we could visualize the end product.
Benchmark did a large kitchen remodel for us plus a project to convert a 3 seasons room into living space. Despite many unusual items the work was done in a timely manner and the finished product looks as we intended. Chip is easy to contact and easy to work with. I would recommend Benchmark for a remodeling project.
Chip and his team are awesome! They are remodeling our kitchen and 2 1/2 baths. Chip did a 3d design for the kitchen remodel, which I didnt think we needed at first, but it allowed us to see multiple options for layouts that we hadnt thought of. He managed to add about 30% more cabinet space. Also, he showed us price and style options for cabinets and even went with us to pick out the tile and the counter. They started on time protected all the floors, and have kept the place in great shape while theyre working. Ill post before after pictures soon. Ill gladly be a reference for them.
