Benson did a good medium / large renovation on our old eccentric cottage. We really appreciated getting the work done with the limitations of the house. Started with making the stairs safe, then reworked several rooms with walls to allow that, reworked bath, new windows, etc.. Price went to the upper range of the estimate. We ended up doing more work than originally quoted, but it made sense, and made the work better. The stairs are wonderful. He was concerned about problem solving the right way and making us satisfied.

My wife and I had Mark and his crew replace 2 sliding exterior door sets on our cape home. Mark picked a perfect day for the installation, a bright, sunny, 60-degree day in mid-November! He and his crew arrived early as scheduled and were able to get the job done by late afternoon. They were all very cordial, very knowledgeable, and willing to answer all my questions. Mark anticipated the interior trim parts he would need to complete the installation of the one from the kitchen to the deck, including the oak floor threshold, with no need for trips to the lumberyard. I was very impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail, and just plain-old craftsmanship Benson Builders showed throughout the whole process from quote to completion.

Mark and his crew are terrific builders. My 2 projects, though small, were treated with utmost attention to every detail and completed on time. I would hire them again no question.

Benson Builders completed an extremely difficult replacement of windows and eves in our converted Stone Barn from the early 1800's. The unique nature of the construction and limited physical openings required a custom design and approach, and custom installation in difficult conditions. Communication about the design work was clear & concise. The work scope required several modifications as the project progressed, and communication between the owner and project manager was excellent. We greatly appreciated the attention to detail with the renovation work, which resulted in repairs that blend in seamlessly to the existing structure. The project team was able to do the work in phases , accommodating the owner's rental schedule. The work site was left extremely clean,

There are contractors and carpenters and then there are craftsmen, Mark Benson and his crew are craftsmen. From the installation of a new front door and custom built front steps to a rebuilt farmers porch with custom made composite flower boxes, everything was built with precision and an eye toward style. Mark also replaced the siding on the front of the house with dipped cedar shingles. The creativity displayed by accenting architectural features with various types of trim is brilliant.
My wife and I are looking forward to having Mark work on additional projects for us, we wouldn’t hire anyone else.

Mark and his team do high quality work. Benson Builder remodeled two bathrooms for us this past year and they came out looking fantastic. I would recommend Mark and his team for any remodeling work.

Mark worked with us to reimagine a master bathroom which turned out in a previous life to have been a sleeping porch. As a result, Mark and his team had to reinforce the floor and level it. He was diligent in explaining to us the challenges of leaving the existing plumbing in an outside wall and got all of it rerouted to interior walls. He was patient as we made minor modifications along the way and practical if one of our suggestions was going to be costly. We told him we wanted to be back in the house by May 15 and on May 14 we returned. He did let us know that it'd be easier/faster if we were NOT in the house during construction as that would allow him to avoid full clean up at the end of each day (saving time and money). We have asked Mark to submit a proposal on another small project. His first love is carpentry and the finish work reflects his highest standard of excellence. This project was not his first on this house and it won't be his last. That's my strongest recommendation!

We are so fortunate to have found Mark and his company to replace a number of doors and windows on our home, including two bay windows with a much improved and recommended look by Mark. Mark is so thorough in his preparation before the work even begins, along with being a true professional completing the job. Mark's work is outstanding and most importantly to us, we trust Mark to do any work needed going forward. We highly recommend Mark and his company based on our truly positive experience.

Benson Builders came highly recommended and I couldn’t agree more. Mark and his team were professional and courteous. The workmanship is more than we could have asked for. They went above and beyond to produce a job well done.

Contacted Mark on the recommendation of a local independent hardware store who had good things to say about him. Mark was quick to reply and look at the work to be done. Previous contractors had been unable to source certain things, but Mark went out of his way to make sure he found the right materials, dealing with issues at the lumberyard, and kept me informed along the way. Benson Builders did superb work and I would not hesitate to recommend them. In fact, I asked Mark to look at some other issues with the house. He took time to look at all aspects of some water damage, made intelligent, informed suggestions, and was careful to point out potential pitfalls and problems. It's easy to give Mark and Benson Builders five stars.

My wife and I struggled to find someone to replace 20 windows in our home. We had no-show contractors for estimates, show-ups who would spend an hour looking around and taking measurements only to never send an estimate, and pushy guys who tried hard to sell us other services or options we didn't ask for or need. When we found Benson Builders Inc we both immediately liked Mark for his low-key, professional demeanor, and of course his reputation. We hired him and his crew to install 20 Andersen 400 windows, and his crew of Steve, Frank, Justin, and Matt were great. Their workmanship is outstanding, and on top of that, they were fun to have around. They're all good guys, and we determined quickly that we trusted them in our house with no one home. They showed up every day on time, and did great work, including painting trim inside and out. We would not hesitate to use Benson again in the future for any home improvement project and highly recommend them.

Mark and his team have completely overhauled the exterior of our house (removed a structurally compromised sunroom and closed up the side of the house, installed new skylights, doors and gutters, trimmed out all the windows and doors, painted, and built a deck). We couldn't be happier with their work. Their attention to detail is fantastic! Mark has been a great communicator throughout the entire project - he clearly describes the work that will be done and the products he recommends using in his proposal; the work is completed as described, on-time and within budget. His team is professional, respectful and great craftsman - they even clean up at the end of each day. When unexpected problems arise, Mark finds creative ways to fix them. We will definitely call Benson Builders for future projects!

Mark installed a storm door on our home last winter. At first we were worried that the project might be too small. To our delight, Mark recommended and installed a door that we love. Mark's attention to detail, his meticulous workmanship, and his desire to make sure we were completely satisfied are the hallmarks of a true professional. We had to call Mark about a minor issue with the door a few weeks ago and in keeping with his work ethic, Mark promptly returned our call and within a day or two fixed the issue. We are so very pleased to have found Mark and would definitely call him without hesitation for future work.

After struggling to find someone to fix an urgent stabilization project on my cottage porch, Mark was referred to me by the local hardware store and I couldn't be happier with his work. He responded the same day I contacted him and I was able to quickly schedule an onsite project estimate with him. After a successful appointment he then completed the project within a short timeframe and did a wonderful job. He was thorough and the quality of work was top notch. Thanks to Mark I'm confident in the safety of my porch again and we're finally able to have our grandkids back to visit. Thanks Mark for saving our summer fun!

Benson Builders completed my staircase project this week. The craftsmanship and quality was above and beyond our expectations. The stairs are a beautiful piece of art that bring together our home with our backyard space. I highly recommend them for any home remodel projects and will definitely be using them for all future home improvements. Mark was helpful, informative, and had open communication during the whole process. We could not be more happy with our new stairs !

We were referred to Mark by our local plumbing contractor, who spoke highly of Mark and his Company.
Our project included replacement of all of the 70-year old windows in our house. We also aske Mark to prepare a proposal to replace the original (also 70 years old) cedar shingle=siding and the old wooden shutters on the house.
Mark met us on a mutually convenient Sunday morning last Fall. He arrived on-time and prepared to work with us in accordance with Covid-protocols. His subsequent proposal was clear, concise and well-presented. Upon review of the Proposal, we agreed to do business together.
Mark did everything that he said that he would do. He completed the project on-time and in a complete and through professional manner. Neighbors commented to us with regard to the professionalism that Mark and his team displayed, even when we were away and the house was vacant. The work was done with care and the clean-up was very thorough.
During the course of the project, we talked about some changes to the original specs, and Mark accommodated us each time, with no indication of discomfort or annoyance. We subsequently agreed to add some smaller related work to the original project, all of which was addressed in a very professional manner.
Our adult children are very enthusiastic about the clean and modern new appearance of the old hose. Our neighbors are very positive; not a single negative comment.
To say that we are pleased would be an understatement.

Mark is an expert who doesn't hesitate to make sure he proposes the best options and solution. I appreciate that when he estimates the project, he considers everything else that may be affected and will need to be addressed, before I make my decision. The workmanship is of a true master carpenter. I strongly recommend his company.

They showed up when promised and were friendly and cleaned up when they were done.I would highly recommend Benson Builders to anyone. Thanks, Mark and crew.

I heard of Mark Benson through a couple of contractors. Their referral of him was that he was a “great” worker and does well-known work around the Cape.
I called Mark and hired him to do a couple of projects around my property - I can tell you he lives up to his reputation. He’s meticulous, trustworthy, and just pays attention to detail. He’s not your typical contractor whose just out to make money off you and give you a mediocre product.
His communication is top-notch which means a lot to me because I live out of state and have him work on my house while I’m not there..
All around great guy- if you’re looking for someone to add the extra value to your house or maybe give it a facelift.. call Mark

Mark did an outstanding job on our porch. He is more than a contractor. He takes great care in the design, helping you think through what it will look like, considers flow, layout, and materials. Mark is detailed and consistent. He does what he says he will do plus more. The porch has been a great success.

If you are reading these reviews to chose your next building contractor then you can stop your search and work with Mark. He will actually return your call and take the time to understand exactly what you want to accomplish and then execute the plan to exceed your expectations. Mark replaced two very tired non standard doors that required extensive work enlarging our door opening. We could not be more pleased with his workmanship and our new doors. We look forward to working with Mark on all of our building/carpentry projects in the near future.

We contacted Mark to replace some patio doors based on his great reputation. From the start, Mark was responsive, polite and professional, and he spent a long time with us to review our options and explain the work involved with each. It was obvious that Mark takes great pride in his work and in satisfying the people he works for. When the job was finished, Mark spent an equal amount of time with me to ensure that I understood everything he did and to make sure that I was satisfied with the work. The work was exceptional! Mark's attention to detail is noteworthy and I get the impression that he goes the extra mile to make sure that his clients are happy. Mark Benson certainly lived up to his reputation and I look forward to hiring him again for my next project!

I originally hired Mark to replace 3 storm doors. He provided a high quality door and did an excellent job with the installation. I liked his work so much that I hired him to replace a large kitchen window. Again, the window he selected and the quality of his craftsmanship was outstanding. I recently hired Mark a 3rd time for the replacement of a window and the cedar shingles of my house. The work Mark did on my house was outstanding with exceptional quality. His proposals are all inclusive and he always cleans the workplace when he is done with the job. I highly recommend Mark, the quality of his work is outstanding and the manner in which he approaches the job is very professional. Bill S. In Buzzards Bay

Hired Mark to replace our front entry and storm doors. Can't say enough about how well the entire project went. From initial contact all the way through to completion Mark was reachable and realistic about timeframes. He is meticulous in his work and clearly takes pride in the finished project. There's other projects around the house and we will without hesitation be using Mark to complete those projects.

Mark recently completed a number of repairs and improvements on a home I recently purchased in Yarmouth. He replaced a rotted out bulkhead door, replaced broken/non existent basement windows as well as old cracked windows on the garage; he replaced rotted clapboard across the front of the house along with rotted wood around and under the front door. Mark also rebuilt the front steps, He clearly takes great pride in his workmanship - which is meticulous. He was able to get the most critical jobs done that were labeled safety issues by my homeowners insurance and were imposed deadlines - for which I am most appreciative! Mark had a number of ideas and gave me options with some of the repairs helping me keep some of my costs down and not spend money where I din't need to. Mark is an honest skilled professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him!

I asked Mark of Benson Builders for an estimate to replace a lot of degraded rake boards on the trim of our house. Mark gave me a quick and through estimate specifying all the repairs that were to be done. The thing I liked most about having Benson Builders was that Mark himself came and looked at the job, estimated the repairs and did the work himself. There was not some unknown crew member that many trades people send out when you think you are having the recommended person him/herself come and do the repairs.
Drawing upon his decades of experience and great pride in his quality of workmanship he takes the extra steps to ensure that the job is done thoroughly and completely to his and your satisfaction. I highly recommend Benson Builders for any carpentry type project you are contemplating. I would have him return without hesitation at any time in the future should I need his skills for another project.

I asked Mark Benson for help with a couple of storm windows and some framing of attic windows and doors. Several weeks later I am sitting in what was my attic storeroom, now my dream bedroom, complete with a view of the beach! When I saw the quality of Mark's work, I had confidence in his ability to provide a flawless hardwood floor, a perfect paint job, and details only a pure craftsman would make part of the project. I so appreciated clear, fair contracts with options. Mark was on time, courteous, ethical, and respectful of my space. Truth is, when Mark walked through my home to discuss projects I knew I had found the MacGyver of Cape Cod with his magic toolbox! He fixed stuff for me that had never worked previously, and that was before we even got started! My only hesitation in sharing my review of this gifted craftsman is that he will get so busy I will have to wait in a very long line for all those projects I now know are possible! I guess if that happens, I will learn patience as it will be well worth the wait to have it done right.

Mark Benson has completed 3 projects over the last 20 or so years, including a large back deck a full width front porch, and finally an attached garage/mud room off the kitchen. He also replaced the asphalt shingles on the main house. In each project, Mark completed these projects in a timely manner with excellent results. Mark is very meticulous in every detail and his carpentry skills are first rate.

I needed to replace a bulkhead at a vacation property that my sister owns on Cape Cod. Neither if us live on the cape full time, so our choice of a contractor was going to have to be done through on-line customer reviews. Mark at Benson Builders responded very quickly to my request for an estimate with a written quote that listed what the detailed steps would be to completing the job as well as the cost. The other contractor that responded did not give me any written estimates, and one contractor did not get back to me until 11 days after he committed to.
All of the calls, emails, and/or texts I had with Mark about the job were very professional and respectful. When Mark was able to schedule the job, I had a friend provide access to the house, and the same friend, who is also does some contracting, commented when the job was finished, that Mark had done an excellent job, and that he would not hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone. The estimate that Mark provided was exactly on budget.
When you are selecting a contractor out of town, there has to be an element of trust involved and I could not be more pleased that I chose Benson Builders to complete this job. Mark was accommodating and very easy to do business with.

Mark Benson has done multiple projects at my residence. In 2004 when I had damage to the side of house and roof and at the same time he installed covers for my gutters. The workmanship was outstanding, he completed job ahead time excepted and quality of the work was top notch. Mark goes above and beyond when completing a project shows up on time, the quality the work he does is outstanding. The area where the work was performed looks cleaner after the job than before. In 2018 I had a leak in a skylight which he resolved the problem, he would send emails after a rain to check on skylight leak. He notice my front door was not shutting correctly and he repair my front door and front storm door they both work better now than they have ever worked in the past. I would recommend Mark Benson for any job large or small he take pride in the work.

One of the best home improvement experiences I have ever had. I wanted a new storm door installed on the front of my house. Mark responded to my initial request promptly. He gave me three options of where to view a variety of doors. I got back to him with the door I wanted and he gave me an estimate of the cost and the time to order and receive the door. He actually got the door ahead of his time estimate and installed it within a week. I was more than pleased with the job he did and he also followed up with another visit to see how I liked the door and completed a little touch up.
High recommend.

I found Mark Benson through a friend's recommendation which for me, is the only way to find good workers. I hope Mark will continue to find jobs through this chain of testimonials. The one thing I most appreciate about Mark is his willingness to take on small jobs that no one else wants. He investigates all problems thoughtfully and intelligently before starting in. He will tell you outright if a job is going to be more expensive than you wish or is simply not practical. The final results of his carpentry are top-notch. This kind of person is a treasure to find.

Mark didn't just do a job that would suffice, he replaced the wood rot correctly so that the job would last. I would not hesitate to recommend him and I look forward to working with him again.

Mark Benson responded to a harrowing emergency after a tree fell on our Cape Cod home last fall. He not only provided immediate tarping and safety repairs ; he also gave us detailed and accurate estimates for us to send to the insurance company. When the work began, Mark subcontracted roofing and flooring services to excellent tradespeople; he used the best of electrical, insulation and painting supplies; he was polite and respectful of our personal space throughout. Most important, his craftsmanship -- and that of his team -- were outstanding. And, after the crisis was over, he put on his ‘house detective’ hat and explored every nook and cranny of our aging home -- making creative and cost effective suggestions on how to maintain and improve our investment. We are so glad to have met him. He is AWESOME!

Benson Builders replaced the leaking roof and skylights on our porch. They solved the leaks and mold problems by installing a rubber membrane under the shingles and around the skylights, and by installing attic vents. The work was efficiently and professionally done in a few days and they carefully cleaned up afterwards.

Mr. Benson installed 26 Anderson 400 windows at our vacation home on Cape Cod, including painting of all trim inside and out . We are thrilled with the outcome. He is meticulous with the details, keeps the workplace exceptionally clean, and worked tirelessly to complete the job. He takes the time to do it right, and communicates frequently with updates and questions. Mr Benson is very trustworthy; since we were away for most of the time while he worked, it was important for us to have someone we could give our house key to and be confident our home was in good hands. Based on our great experience with him, we have now engaged him to put in a new front door on our home. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to others.

Mark came through again! During the 4 'Noreasters we had water/wind damage. Mark came out and secured the house from further damage and gave us a detailed quote for the insurance company. During his visit he noticed rot around our front door. We knew it was an issue, but had no idea as to the extent. We hired Mark to start on the repairs. He was very upfront with the possibility of potential hidden damage. As it turned out the rot was so extensive it reached from the base of the outer columns to the tip of the circle top window! By the time all was said and done we had a brand new, properly built and secured front entry. He showed us the reason for this mess we were in. Extremely poor workmanship was to blame when the house was initially built. Mark's passion for getting it right coupled with his quality workmanship has restored our beautiful entryway. We are grateful, yet again, to have access to such an honest and qualified builder. Truth be told, if we weren't beholden to the builder who owned the piece of property we purchased 16 years ago, we certainly would have called Mark to do the job!
Thanks again Mark,

I have one experience with Benson Builders, Inc. A repair was made on a serious leak around the central chimney of our house. Water stains on ceilings of 1st and 2nd floors. Water would even run all the way to basement floor. Mark Benson spent one day replacing flashing and shingles. Since completion the work has been tested by several rain storms and high winds. No leaks! I can now repair water damage and paint. Mark is professional in work and business habits. I recommend him without hesitation.

Mark did a fabulous job installing our new front door. He repaired some old work, installed and stained the new door. His quote was reasonable, he showed up as planned and was very helpful in helping to select hardware. It was a pleasure to work with Mark.

I found Benson Builders to be a very responsive and thoroughly detailed builder. Recently my elderly mother's home on the shore was showing major rot on the support structure under her enclosed porch. Being very concerned about its safety and possible collapse, I contacted Mark Benson who was highly recommended by a neighbor who used Benson Builders for all of her renovation work. Mark came out himself within hours and assessed the damage. The same day he installed temporary support columns and then performed a full analysis of the rot and we worked out a repair plan. The whole effort dealing with Mark gave us peace of mind knowing we were in good hands and had his personal attention. I had always admired the work done on my neighbor's home but had never dealt with Mark before. I was impressed with his responsiveness on returning calls, emails, and performing work as promised on time. I plan to use him for more work at my mom's home and my own home on the cape in the near future.

Mark Benson has done several projects for our family in our homes and businesses over the last 20 or more years. He is the most precise talented man. He installed new windows along the entire front of our house that was over 50 years old at the time. He managed to rebuild the interior woodwork around all those windows perfectly as if they had been the original windows. He has done assorted rehab projects in our businesses as well over the years. I recommend him without hesitation.

We have been fortunate to have employed Benson Builders for several
projects. He entirely rebuilt our deck on the back of the house servicing
both our back door and our patio door. In addition he resided the outside
of the house with both cedar shingles and clapboard. All jobs were completely satisfactory and done to perfection. I would highly recommend Benson Builders.

Mark remolded a large portion of my waterfront home. He raised the roof and built a whole new second floor including new closets, a remolded bathroom, and all new windows and doors. He also remolded the first floor family room creating a vaulted ceiling and new windows. He also built a new set of stairs to our front door.
All the work was done to perfection. I would highly recommend Mark.

Mark was working at a neighbor's who had a similar issue with her Andersen sliding doors - wind getting through the seals. He came by to check on my specific issue and then brought by an exert with these doors. They both came back to replace the older material and tighten spaces where possible. Mark checked with me soon after the project was done but I was away and missed the first wind storm. However, when I got back home in time for one of our Cape blizzards, the wind direction was not the usual and I did still have an issue. Mark made arrangements to come back over and suggested a different approach to supplement the first one. He was back in a few days and his suggestion has solved the issue and saved me from replacing very expensive doors. Mark's follow-up and problem solving skills are very much appreciated.

Mark Benson did my kitchen renovation a few years ago and it exceeded our expectations for quality and value so when the large back deck on my dad's house needed replacement, we chose him. It started out as a simple job but when he removed the old deck, we discovered a large amount of rot because the original deck had not been weatherstripped. Over 30+ years, the wind driven rain had caused the entire back of the house to suffer substantial damage. Mark carefully explained the work that needed to be done and he turned out an outstanding product. (see the photos of the composite deck with the glass panels on his web page).
One element of this story, however, deserves special mention. After the deck was installed, a strange whistling noise could be heard whenever the wind would blow from the southwest. After some detective work, Mark discovered that the wind was vibrating the deck boards and making the noise. He went to the manufacturer of the deck boards and was able to have them provide a completely enclosed under-deck system that eliminated the noise and actually added value and ambiance to the underside of the deck...all for no cost to us.
I would highly recommend Mark for his professionalism, his quality, the competitive pricing and his timeliness, but most of all, his integrity.

Mark has been doing all of our home improvements and upkeep for approximately the last 20 years. Some of this work includes refinishing the upstairs, adding two rear decks, replacing all original windows and outside doors, renovating a downstairs bathroom , and adding a kitchen/dining area extension to the original house. All of his work is done with the kind of care that he would put into his own home. We especially get many compliments on the beautiful trim work in our new kitchen/dining area. Mark and his crew are very respectful of the homeowner's privacy and they are meticulous in cleaning up at the end of the day. In a time and place in which there are unethical contractors around anxious to grab your dollars, trust me that there is Mark who will give you an honest day's work with the peace of mind of knowing that you are getting a top notch job .

We used Benson Builders for at least a dozen projects since we bought our house on the Cape in 1999. He installed all new windows and doors; rebuilt a large wraparound porch; replaced wood shingles on exterior walls; installed architectural asphalt shingles on the garage; installed custom interior trim and interior molding; and fabricated and installed custom lattice panels and mahogany porch railings. Over the years he maintained the property for us by painting inside and out, repaired storm damage, managed the installation of new kitchen appliances and an overhead garage door. Without exception, Mark Benson's professionalism and quality of work was outstanding. He gave excellent design ideas, worked safely and stayed on schedule, and was very neat and organized. Mark gave excellent service and priced his work fairly and is a true craftsman with the highest integrity. Highly recommended without qualification.
