What do recent reviews say?

Benchmark Builders earns consistent praise for Andy's hands-on involvement, clear communication, and ability to deliver complex projects on schedule and within budget. One reviewer disputed the value of a $400 design consultation fee and felt overall pricing was steep, though another completed their project for 60% of the estimate.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
