A very large pine tree came through the roof of a seasonal cottage during a storm, and the reviewers walked five contractors through the job before they found Ben Hitchcock. That December 2024 Google review says Ben answered every question immediately by text, e-mail or phone, that he and his wife work as a team and both hold college degrees as architects, and that the finished work came in at the same cost as the original estimate, with the summer home restored to its original condition. Hitchcock & Co. describes itself on its website as a remodeling company that restores historic homes and adds modern amenities. The site names Hallowell as its service area, offers free estimates and says the company has been in business for six years. In another December 2024 review, a customer wrote that a large tree had damaged the roof and broke several windows, Ben came to the house numerous times to assess the damage, and the estimate he gave the insurance company was detailed enough that no claims adjuster visit was required. That customer wrote that they plan to hire Ben again for more work. An August 2024 review calls the experience kind, honest and respectful, saying the time was taken to explain things. On Google it holds 5 stars from three ratings.
Ben Hitchcock and his crew were the most professional contractors I have ever met. The repairs to my home were excellent. Ben came to my house numerous times to assess the damage caused by a large tree. The roof was damaged along with several broken windows. The estimate Ben provided to my insurance company was honest and detailed. No visit by a claims adjuster was required based on this estimate. Having had unsatisfactory performance by other contractors Ben was a pleasure. I require some additional work to be done-I will hire Ben. He is top notch.
A very large pine tree crashed through the roof of our seasonal cottage during a storm, and we were faced with the daunting task of finding a reliable contractor in Maine to do the extensive repairs that were required. We walked five contractors through the project. All submitted estimates, but most withdrew citing schedule issues. One we had to reject following research into his history. All of the contractors took up considerable amounts of our time and delayed work on our project by not being forthcoming about their scheduling issues earlier on. Each time we met with a prospective contractor we had to drive three and a half hours each way between New Hampshire and Maine. Then we found Ben Hitchcock. From the very beginning, Ben was a delight to work with. He is completely honest, has a can-do attitude, a very pleasing personality, and outstanding communication skills. Anytime we had a question or concern, Ben responded immediately by text, e-mail or phone. He was always on top of things and had ready solutions for any problems. The responses we got from Ben throughout this project made us feel like we were his only clients. Ben and his wife work as a team. Both have college degrees as architects and it shows. The finished product was first rate, came in at the same cost as the original estimate, and our summer home was perfectly restored to its original condition. We very highly recommend Ben Hitchcock for any construction project!
