**★★★★★ — Nancy Marks, April 2017**

> We were very pleased with hiring benchmark as our general contractor. Anthony was very knowledgeable with the process, and really guided us through it, as first time home owners. They were always available answering any questions and concerns we had, and always going over the schedule making sure everything was up to date. Everything was accomplished in a timely matter while staying well within the budget, which was great!
> We most highly recommend them, they are very knowledgeable and great at what they do!

**★★★★★ — Fran Peco, April 2017**

> Benchmark Developers are extremely professional, reliable, very experienced and knowledgeable. They built our dream home and we couldn't be happier! Anthony and Ben were always readily available and it was evident they only worked with quality sub contractors. We completely trusted them and would highly recommend them for new or remodel. We will definitely use them again the future!

**★★★★★ — Y. S., March 2017**

> We were very pleased to have Benchmark Developers as our general contractor and would gladly recommend them.  They were very professional and quoted competitively.  After the project had been going for a while we could tell that even thought the project was competitively priced, the quality of work did not suffer.  Throughout the build Anthony was constantly reviewing the schedule, upcoming stages, and communicating progress.
>
> The subcontractors selected were all very good at what they did and if there was a concern about the build on our part Anthony worked very quickly to resolve the item.  Throughout the process Anthony went out of his to improve the plans as if the home were his and work through any issues that arose from the architect's design.  If we were to build another house, we would certainly choose Benchmark Developers without hesitation.
