“This was really a tremendous experience, from start to finish. Bennett stripped and completely rebuilt two bathrooms, and added a bedroom and bathroom as an addition. The process was efficient, and the quality is outstanding. There was excellent communication between us, the work crew, and the Bennett office. There were no surprise extras and no disappearing work crews, as seems to happen so often with renovations. I can’t recommend the company enough.” – G.B.

Not Your Average Home Contracting Company

We were excited to learn all about Bennett Contracting, Inc. and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with Kevin Gutman, who owns the company with his brother. While their main focus is on residential work, they have also worked on some commercial projects. They are able to provide in-house carpenters, plumbers, and electricians, making things easier and more transparent for their clients. All in all, they have around 80 employees, who Kevin says are like family to him. At Bennett Contracting, Inc. employees are treated with respect and all share in the success of the company.

When we asked Kevin what it is that makes Bennett Contracting, Inc. stand apart from its competition, he said:

“Our company culture is at the core of what drives us to run our business the way we do. We have a core set of values and philosophies on how to treat others and take on the responsibility to improve existing structures in our community. We practice integrity, service, honesty, and doing the right thing.”

Kevin shared the Bennett Contracting, Inc. mission statement:

“Bennett Contracting is a team of professionals that accepts the responsibility of helping
improve the condition and quality of existing local buildings. We believe the purpose of
our business is to serve our employees and customers for the betterment of our
communities and neighborhoods.”

Building Success, Online And Off

Bennett Contracting, Inc. has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Kevin how they have managed to grow their business and get their name out. He said that they focus their attention on maintaining their website and SEO (search engine optimization), which is what has helped the most with their online presence. They have also gotten such awesome reviews by asking for them!

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Bennett Contracting, Inc. has spread the word about who they are and what they do by using their trucks to gain visibility, through word of mouth, and with help from repeat business and referrals.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Bennett Contracting, Inc. has managed to. We asked if Kevin could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Create an environment where people feel that the business aligns with their values and how they want to be treated. You have to expect a lot, as well. Provide the benefits that make employees’ lives easier so they can do their jobs better.”


Congratulations to Bennett Contracting, Inc. for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Kevin for taking the time to speak with us!
