Ben helped us with our kitchen remodel in our 1920 craftsman home. The entire process went very smoothly, from design to completion. I really appreciated the attention to detail put in, bringing up great points we hadn't considered. Our project manager offered thoughtful guidance at every decision point, treating our home as if it were his own and focusing on doing things right. I particularly love the design of the tile, the glass doors that match our built-ins in the dining room, and the beautiful quartz countertop.
Ben Quie & Son's does beautiful work with fantastic attention to detail! I loved working with their designers and appreciated their persistence in finding a design solution that met our requirements. Their crew is friendly, competent, and professional. I trust them to deliver a final product on time, at high quality, and with all the loose ends wrapped up.
We recently purchased a home that is over 100yrs old, and the porch and basement were in need of a refresh. It was important to us to work with a contractor that had experience preserving the character of older homes, and after much research, we selected Ben Quie & Sons because they are specialists in this area. We are so glad that we did. Not only did they do beautiful work, they were enjoyable to work with, and they helped us make design selections that we are really happy with.
My husband and I bought a 100 year old house that needed updating. After doing a lot of research, we decided to work with Ben and his team to try and achieve the vision we had for the house. It was important to us to work with someone who could update our kitchen and main bathroom while keeping cohesion with the rest of the house. Their team made wonderful design choices that have made the updates feel like they were original parts of the home. They’re detail oriented, and very thoughtful with all the different executions and cleanup. Their team was very professional and respectful, making working with them a joy. Most of all, it was their concern for our happiness with the outcome, and well-being throughout the project that would make me work with them again.
BQ&S remodeled the kitchen in our 1917 home. The kitchen was a design challenge--three doors and two windows--and we didn't want to increase the footprint. Ben did a great job designing a kitchen that would maximize the space, and provide all the features we wanted. He came up with some great ideas, and also listened and incorporated the ideas we provided. The work process was as painless as it could be. I was amazed at how clean the rest of the house remained, and they set up an almost fully functioning kitchen in our living room (we only had to do without a stove). The craftsmanship is top notch and the schedule was on time. We are thrilled with the end product. We will use BQ&S again!
