A 2022 customer said Lee worked over weekends to finish by their deadline, and that the home drew two offers on the first day of showings. A 2023 customer who installed the cabinets themselves said Lee helped with their questions throughout the installation.

We worked with Lee for our kitchen renovation, and his design was spot on. He saw details that we hadn’t even thought of. I would definitely recommend Lee and his team.
Benchmark completed our bathroom remodel and it came out beautifully. Lee was incredibly responsive, patient, professional, and warm throughout the process. This was a challenging project due to the age of our home (built in 1865) and my very specific vision, but the team handled every obstacle with ease and kept me informed at every step. They saw the project through to completion and have continued to stand by their work, providing follow-up adjustments whenever needed.
Benchmark renovated my bathroom. It is a whole new room! Working with Benchmark and the Veader family was the best experience I have had with a contractor. I received a call back immediately. Lee Jr. was my contact and communication was excellent, always a quick response. I was able to look at the products in their showroom. I like to see the flooring, counters, and cabinets up close before deciding what I want in my house. Jon was meticulous with the installation and finish work! I look forward to another project with Benchmark!
We are beyond grateful for our experience with Benchmark Home Improvements. From start to finish, it was clear that this is a family-run business that genuinely cares about the people they work with. They went above and beyond to help us through a process that could have easily felt overwhelming, and instead made it exciting and seamless. What really stood out to us was the quality of the products. The cabinets are incredibly solid and far beyond anything we had seen at the big-box stores. You can immediately tell they’re built to last. Even more impressive was the way Benchmark stood behind everything they offered. It was clear they wouldn't sell something they didn’t truly believe in, and that kind of integrity meant a lot to us. We're so thankful to have found them and can't recommend them highly enough to anyone considering a kitchen renovation. They didn’t just help us improve our home, they reminded us there are still businesses out there that lead with heart, honesty, and pride in what they do. Thank you Benchmark.
I just had Lee Veader from Benchmark remodel my kitchen, flooring and bathroom. It was a great experience and hassle free. They helped design and offered many suggestions to help in our decision making process. They were on time daily during the process and left no mess. We are very happy with the quality of the cabinets provided and their workmanship during installation. Lee and his son Ian always answered my questions and were available whenever I needed to talk. Great company and people to deal with!!
