Homeowners keep handing Benson Builders the houses where nothing is square: in 2023, a converted stone barn from the early 1800s that needed windows and eaves; in 2024, a 1950s cottage wanting new windows, doors, siding and a roof; in 2022, a master bathroom that had started life as a sleeping porch. The Buzzards Bay company has been at this a while — its BBB profile says it has served Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts since 1987, with Mark R Benson as president and three employees. The written history is both deep and current: 95 Houzz ratings averaging 5.0, alongside eight five-star Angi reviews dated 2017 to 2019. The July 2023 stone-barn customer wrote that the unusual construction and limited openings called for a custom design and approach. The December 2022 sleeping-porch job meant reinforcing and levelling the floor first, and that homeowner called Mark diligent about explaining the challenges. In the newest account, from April 2025, a multilevel deck on a cape house picked up an idea the owner hadn't planned on — the corner bench that ended up in the photos. Several reviewers mention the calendar. A November 2024 customer said bulkhead steps, exterior doors and interior work at their mother's home were finished within the agreed-upon timeframe; an August 2023 customer with two small projects said they were completed on time; a July 2018 Angi reviewer whose roof pitch was changed said the job came in on time and within budget. That same month, another Angi review described a tree coming down on their Cape Cod home the previous fall and credited Mark with immediate tarping and safety repairs, then detailed estimates to send the insurance company. Its BBB page is an A+. Two practical notes. Its Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles advertise decks, door installation, repairs and small carpentry jobs, while BuildZoom's permit history runs to whole-house work — a $200,000 permit in Pocasset in 2022 for windows, doors, a kitchen and bathroom remodel, garage finishing and flooring — so be specific about the size of the job you have. And the BBB profile lists check as the payment method, worth sorting out before deposits come up. If you own an older Cape house that needs windows, doors, siding, a deck or a bathroom rebuilt around whatever the last century left behind, this is that kind of builder. Pin down the scope, the schedule and how payment is structured before work starts.
Benson Builders built a multilevel deck for my cape house. Mark did a wonderful job taking my vision and turning it in to a reality with additional suggestions for improvements like the corner bench in the photos. Mark and his team were wonderful to work with. They are neat, on time and very pleasant people. The workmanship was high quality. Communication was very good with Mark informing us of progress and different construction options along the process. Highly recommend.

I am very pleased with the improvements Benson Builders recently did to the outside of my house. They are perfectionists in their work and are very pleasant to deal with. Mark had many good suggestions and communicated well throughout the process. I have worked with many contractors over the years, and these guys are real professionals!
We hired Benson Builders to give our 1950’s cottage a refresh with new windows, doors, siding, roof, and more. Mark was a pleasure to work with and we appreciate his design experience and guidance which helped create a classic appearance for the cottage. Mark is a great communicator, and his crew does excellent work. We are very happy with how well the project turned out and would not hesitate to call him for future projects.
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.
