**★★★★★ — HU-559337495, Aug. 2026**

> Matt & Jay installed windows on 2 floors of my home … excellent work, kept area clean, friendly & kept me informed on progress

**★★★★★ — HU-305584789, Oct. 2025**

> Bennett contracting was very easy to work with from initial contact through installation of our replacement windows.   Bennetts employees were professional and conscientious in the installation of our replacement windows.  The crew came, immediately began work, were willing to answer any questions we had, and cleaned up after themselves.  We definitely would recommend them.

**★★★★★ — HU-123513790, May 2025**

> Just wanted to send out a big thank you to your employee Jim Plunkett. His professionalism, work ethic and kind demeanor took the stress out of a large project. Bennett Contracting is fortunate to have such a valuable employee. Thank you Jim and Bennett Contracting for a job well done! Very satisfied customers Mike & Donna Conners. We LOVE our completed project

**★★★★★ — Julio Soto, Aug. 2024**

> Bennett Contracting Company worked on several projects in our home.  Steve assembled a great team of carpenters, plumbers, and electricians.  The first project was to add a door between the main house and the apartment.  Larry and Chris installed a door that added access to more space.  That installation was masterful and allowed us to use that space as our TV/family room.  For the kitchen, Sara helped us with her expertise to design a stunning and beautiful new kitchen.  She was great at suggesting colors, tiles, countertop materials, faucet, and sink. I felt confident that our vision of our new kitchen was going to be realized. Larry and Chris installed the new flooring, new appliances and the new kitchen cabinets.  They are truly artisans.  They added details that made the project more special and stunning. They were very responsive to our needs and answered questions regarding the project.  Larry and Chris completed the vision we had for our new kitchen.  But even then, we were not expecting how beautiful the new kitchen looked when the project was done. I highly recommend them.  We decided to add another project for Bennett Contracting Company, and we are looking forward to have Larry and Chris working on that project.

**★★★★★ — HU-697341563, July 2024**

> We renovated two full bathrooms, and replaced two patio doors on our home.  The folks at Bennett Contracting had great ideas for the renovations.  All costs were thoroughly explained prior to starting, and all the work was completed on schedule.  We were immensely pleased with the outcome, and will contact Bennett Contracting for future work.  Larry and Chris were wonderful to work with, and explained everything they were doing-- as we were new to this process and had many questions.  We highly recommend the entire Bennett team for home renovations and improvement projects.

**★★★★★ — Amy Kramer, June 2023**

> Bennett Contracting did an amazing job with a total remodel to our primary bathroom. Sarah on the design team made the whole process fun, and she totally got the look I was going for. A big shout out to Jamison for his professionalism, communication, and craftsmanship! He was so conscientious and left the site and our home super neat and tidy each day- it was effortless.

**★★★★★ — HU-36830511, Jan. 2023**

> Excellent workmanship!  A very well run outfit.  Would not hesitate to hire again for another job. Looking forward to enjoying their work.

**★★★★★ — James Benoit, Nov. 2022**

> Recently we had outside work done on our house in Albany. We dealt with Steve Shanholtz from start to finish as the estimator/project manager. He was very knowledgeable and guided us through the project. David Buran, Jameson McCarthy, and Dustin Burton did a wonderful job repairing and painting our eves and dormers. They were all very friendly, courteous, and thorough. Every day they cleaned everything up before we returned home from work as if they were never there. We very much appreciate and love everything they did for us.

**★★★★★ — Jamie Lee, March 2022**

> Bennett did a great job with our new storm door.  It looks beautiful, it’s strong and is good quality material.  The installation went smoothly and they even fixed an ugly spot on our door frame while they were at it.  We found they were very responsive compared to other contractors and we are very pleased with their work.

**Comment from Bennett Contracting, Inc.:**

> Thanks so much for your testimonial and for choosing Bennett Contracting. Enjoy your new storm door and we look forward to working with you again!

**★★★★★ — Dennis Poust, Feb. 2022**

> Can't say enough good things about Bennett's work so far. Had them install slider, paint and put new flooring in my sunroom, and the place is transformed. Josh and Perry, who did the door were professional and quick. Jesus, who did the painting and installation of new luxury vinyl plank floor, is great. Showed up early, worked hard all day, was always ready and willing to answer questions or work with us on whatever we needed. Looking forward to him and the Bennett team replacing my wood deck with Trex this spring. Should also give huge shoutout to Steve Shanholtz, my project manager, who is great to deal with, responds quickly and has excellent recommendations. Highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — HU-443752579, Nov. 2021**

> While Bennett has worked with our family on past projects, this was our first experience with them on our own project. They constructed a 2nd bathroom for us from an existing closet. We worked with Tony C and Justina during the design process and they were able to create a very unique space out of the odd shaped closet that they had to work with. They were flexible on materials, took into account our specific desires and worked through the construction loan process every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier with their sales and design team and in the end, we are enjoying our gorgeous bathroom and all its many details. Within the same project scope,  they upgraded our electric service to the house as it was old, and as a courtesy, slid that part of the project in earlier than scheduled so that we could have our AC unit working for the summer heat. This was not necessary for them to accommodate us in this way, but it made us feel considered and accommodated considering the lead time on building materials with this current market.
> The bathroom details would not have come to fruition without our Lead Installer, Adam Squires. Adam communicated regularly via text and phone, during the 6 weeks that the bathroom took to construct, asked our opinions regularly and in advance to give us time for input before construction and thought ahead of our instincts to make sure that we had a more than satisfactory finished product. He arranged for the soft closing hinge on the pocket door (knowing we wouldn’t want it to slam), took the time to experiment with the the stain color of the shelf trim to make sure it was exactly as we envisioned and added the motion sensor dimming switch for the accent light to make the normal lighting not so severe at night. These details accentuated his excellent all around workmanship from the planning of the rough plumbing, electrical, coordination with the plumber and electrician to the sheet rocking, tile installation, finish carpentry and painting.
> Our bathroom is beautiful and we can’t wait to do our next project with Bennett.

**★★★★★ — dengoron14, Sept. 2021**

> We contracted with Bennett Contracting to enclose our screened-in porch.  We are beyond happy with the results!  What went from a 2-season porch, mostly used by our cats, is now a beautiful additional room to our home!  We want to thank Anthony for his keen expertise and his construction team -  Joe, Jon, Andrew and Chris -  who worked their magic!  The crew was attentive, answered all our questions during the renovating process, detail-oriented, always making sure WE, the customer, were happy with the results from start to finish.  All we expected was a simple conversion.  What we got was literally a transformation!

  - Description: This Albany couple loved living in a historic brownstone in an urban neighborhood. Everything was fine until an old roof drain failed and the roof filled with water and collapsed into their home, ruining almost everything. They called Bennett Contracting because they had worked with us in the past and knew they could trust us. Bennett assigned Steve, our insurance expert, to the project and along with designer Justina they put together the reconstruction project. The owner spent the next 6 month…

  - Description: This Glenmont homeowner had a significant insurance loss at their home.

They started with a kitchen remodel. Our team took out a wall and redesigned this new, modern kitchen. Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 of the project.
