What recent reviews say

Benchmark Builders earns consistent five-star ratings for kitchen and bathroom renovations, with reviewers praising Andy Payne's clear communication and detail-focused approach. One complaint flagged a $400 design fee and steep estimates, though that client later completed work at 60% of their quote.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
