Benchmark Builders, LLC

I recently bought a house that had significant wood rot on the sunporch caused by old gutters and a poor deck design. I called Andy and he came up with a great plan to fix the wood, redesign the deck and gutters as well as waterproof everything so this would never happen again. The work was done on time and with a high level of craftsmanship. I would highly recommend Benchmark Builders. If you need a carpenter who can really think outside of the box and come up with solutions to potentially tricky repairs Andy is your guy. Great work!

Working with Andy Payne of Benchmark Builders was a great experience. I did the design but I wanted a seasoned contractor to find the people to execute the work and he fulfilled that task. We love our new kitchen that now opens up to a beautiful great room

I am very happy to recommend Andy Payne and Benchmark Builders. We bought a house in North Stamford that needed many small improvements and a remodeled powder room--all on a tight timetable--since our lease in Norwalk was running out. Even though our job was small, Andy was very conscientious and met the end date a day early. The jobs involved four different trades (painting, carpentry, electrical, and plumbing) and their schedules were managed really well. When an old pipe started to leak, Andy was there with the plumber to make an emergency repair. Andy was great at keeping in touch through the process, sending pictures or videos if we could not be there. His contracts are clear and very professional, too. Andy also has a good design eye and is a great sounding board when making decisions. We feel we got real value and high quality.

We were introduced to Andy shortly after we moved into our new home right in the middle of COVID. We were looking for help installing an Azek railing system on the steps leading to the front of our house. Once he scoped out the project I showed him a number of other smaller projects (replacing/installing doors, installing indoor railing) that we were thinking about doing and he said he would be happy to do them. Andy and his crew did an excellent job. We will definitely hire him again for our next project and would refer him to anyone looking for carpentry work.

We loved working with Andy and his team. He did a remodeling of our downstairs hallway which included opening up 5 doorways, taking out a closet, raising a ceiling, and installing French doors. The result was transformative and looks better than I imagined. Andy was always transparent about costs as we added different things/changed things during the remodel. We plan on using Andy again to do a similar project in another part of the house. I would highly recommend him.
