Bought new stove, good price, good service
We recently bought a new stove. It has an induction top and the salesman was good to point out that we needed to check all our existing cookware to ensure it would work. Good thing, half our old stuff wouldnt have. Delivery guys were great. Brought the stove on, hooked it ensured I understood basic functions and levelled it. All in all a great experience and would by there again.
We had Beingessner do a big renovation project to a 20 year old house we bought replacing original windows, ext. doors and vinyl siding. Throughout the project the job was well managed, the products of good quality and we were happy with the communication between us, the trades and the project manager. We feel we did get good value and were happy with the end result.
This is a challenge from the point of view that the work quality was decent but communication was a challenge. The job started a couple months late and the owner Sheldon kept saying it was because of a wet spring / summer. It's true we did have that but we kept asking when they were coming and he was always a while getting back to us and not very committed. No one can control the weather but when you are getting into 8 weeks late it goes a long way to talk to your clients about getting scheduled. I used to be in the commercial construction business and ran into a lot of trades that were like Benco. Good work, good staff but not so good at the admin / customer relations side. The work was well done and the crew were polite so we are happy with that. It's just too bad the communication was such an effort. If you go with them you should get a good job just try and build something in the contract to say MUST be completed by a certain date.
We had Canadian Home & Renovation Team (CHART) do a rebuild of our kitchen. This was a complete tear down and rebuild with all new finishes, cabinets, counters, back splashes and floor. This included new lighting and plumbing too. It was a pleasure to work with CHART and the finished kitchen was exactly what we wanted and looks amazing. They pretty much stuck to the schedule only running a few days over in a 6 week project so that was fine. We had a couple hiccups along the way but always managed to work things out and the project and budget were well managed. We'd recommend them to anyone looking for a professional contractor doing quality work.
