From beginning to end they are a fantastic contractor to do business with on this type of project. Their attention to detail was obvious from our very first estimate appointment and continued the entire way through the project. We have worked with many contractors over our 24 years in our home and have dealt with several contractors who act like they are doing you a favor, don't follow up, and don't adhere to schedules. Bencar is collaborative, responsive and attends to every detail. When we started exploring contractors for this job we approached two other kitchen remodeling companies and they both presented obstacles at the outset with poor follow up, not listening to our goals or worse designing the kitchen they thought we should have instead of the one we wanted. Bencar was the obvious company to work with right from the beginning as they explained in detail how they would perform the job, walked us through the process, referred us to the team at Bender in New Haven for cabinets, counters and fixtures as well as a great kitchen designer in Daryl. The planning stage was incredibly smooth. The construction phase was equally smooth with our crew of Evan and Rocco with support from Lisa, Mark, Nancy and Cody in the office and in the field. Bencar has a great reputation in the area and they lived up to that reputation. Within two hours of day one of construction we knew for certain we had made the right choice. Everything was so wonderfully executed and it was impressive how seamlessly all the different parts fell into place from deliveries, to tradesman arrivals, to demolition and on site necessities.Very clean work and absolute respect for our home. We had very high expectations for the finished product and we can honestly say the finished product has exceeded our expectations! We would strongly recommend Bencar Building Systems for your kitchen remodeling project. **★★★★★ — Daniel Cohn, March 2024** > We recently had the pleasure of working with Bencar Building Systems LLC for a complete remodel of our primary bathroom, including the installation of a custom shower. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. > > First and foremost, the service provided by the team at Bencar was outstanding. They were professional, attentive, and truly listened to our needs and preferences. Throughout the entire process, they kept us informed and involved, ensuring that every detail was to my satisfaction. > > The highlight of the remodel was undoubtedly the custom shower. It exceeded all our expectations and has become the focal point of the bathroom. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was evident in every aspect of its design and installation. Not only is it visually stunning, but it also functions flawlessly, providing a luxurious and spa-like experience every time we use it. > > What truly sets Bencar apart, however, is their commitment to customer satisfaction. They went above and beyond to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the final result. It's rare to find a contractor that genuinely cares about their customers and takes pride in their work, but that's exactly what you'll get with Bencar. > > We cannot recommend Bencar highly enough for any bathroom remodeling project. Their exceptional service, unparalleled craftsmanship, and dedication to exceeding expectations make them the top choice for anyone looking to transform their space. Thank you to the entire team for making our bathroom remodel a truly comfortable and stress-free experience. **Comment from Bencar Building Systems, LLC:** > Thank you Daniel for your review! We are so happy to have met all of your expectations. You had a vision and we are thrilled to be able to bring it to life! **★★★★★ — Rick Petrucelli, Jan. 2024** > We had the most wonderful experience with Bencar. Our home is older, and my wife and I were so scared of what we could do to modernize our kitchen and master bathroom. The entire Bencar team designed a kitchen and bathroom that exceeded our expectations. The quality of the work from the team was incredibly high-end and thorough, and the project came in on time and on budget (something that rarely happens). I make sure that I recommend Bencar to anyone I know that needs work done. Bencar is the type of place where you feel safe and confident that you will turn your home into an amazing space!! **Comment from Bencar Building Systems, LLC:** > Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

We called Bencar Building Systems met with the owners Mark and Nancy to go over the details/possibilities of the kitchen makeover. They were very easy to work with, very knowledgeable/helpful with idears and information of things that could be incorporated into our concept of what the new kitchen should look like. It was important to us to have a complete Turn Key Process. So we hired them to do the job and here are the things we liked/loved about the company. They are extermely organized, professional in every aspect, the primary team of workers on our project, Evan and Roco, were highly skilled, caring, personable, trustworthy, organized respectful cohesiveness with the sub-contractors (plumbing, electrical, tile, counter tops, cabnets, flooring, fixtures just to name a few) and a flawless execution of the project schedule of events to complete our new kitchen on time. End results, we have and enjoy a high quality, beautifully crafted kitchen that we our extemely happy with.

The contractors used by Bencar were also top notch. **★★★★★ — Kimberly Bogert, April 2022** > We had our raised ranch kitchen, dining area, and living room made into an open concept space. Bencar was incredible to work with from our initial appointment to its completion. We were given a schedule of the project so we knew what to expect each day. They arrived on time daily, cleaned up each day, and made sure everything was done perfectly. We are so happy with how it turned out! We will definitely be using Bencar for future home projects.

Craig and Greg, the team who completed the bulk of the project, were a pleasure to work with. They were very professional, efficient, careful, respectful of our space, and always cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the day which we really appreciated. They kept us up to date on the progress of the project, and we were very happy with the work they did for us!

How far apart are the shower heads?** *(in Photo Questions)* Shower head question A: It really is a beautiful bathroom! The showerheads are approximately 32" apart. **Q: Mirror** *(in Photo Questions)* Is that mirror a brushed black color? I read some reviews on Amazon about this mirror but some people describe the color to look almost brown. Just wondering because I'm very interested in this mirror for my black and white bathroom but not completely sold because of some reviews. Please advise. A: It's matte black. Here's a little bit of a close up look of the finish of the mirror. I zoomed in and it looked black to me! **Q: which siteline cabinet style is in this kitchen?** *(in Photo Questions)* Interested in kitchen door style A: This is a Swanson door and the paint color is Aspen. **Q: Bathroom floor** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please tell me the flooring material? A: That floor tile is by Ege Seramik called Terra and the color is Ivory in 12x24 and it is a glazed porcelain. **Q: Design help please! 8x8 bathroom** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hi there. We are a family of 6 with one bathroom. We are hoping to build an addition in a couple of months which will include a main floor bathroom. This bathroom will be well used as it's on the main floor and will be close to our new bedroom. We have decided not to put in a tub. Shower only. Double sinks. I will likely purchase an old dresser at auction to use as a vanity. Can I still make this small bathroom beautiful? Our home is an OLD fieldstone farmhouse. The wall beside the toilet in the drawing will be stone. The colours of the stone are mostly grey and cream with a hint of green....I'll take a picture to help. I M open to ideas! I don't do well visioning things in one dimension, so if there is anyone willing to show me a plan I can really see, wow, I'd be great flu, thank you. A: @combine - good luck with the addition! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-13.*
