Bender Construction Co
About us
Founded in 1997 by Kevin L. Bender, a Purdue Construction Management graduate, Bender Construction Company, Inc. is based in Lafayette and specializes in residential remodeling, renovations and new construction. We have a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and perform the vast majority of work in-house by our skilled carpenters and when needed only utilize a small selective group of subcontractors that we have worked with for years. We have a full time Environmental, Health & Safety professional on staff and can provide safety consulting for both the construction and general industries in addition to residential thermal image energy assessments. We are very proud and grateful for the long-lasting relationships we have developed with our clients and consider it the utmost compliment to be given repeat business, which along with customer referrals, have always been the major source of our business. We are not a production builder and our clients receive personal service throughout the project from Kevin himself. We have a detail oriented management and field staff and provide the highest level of communication throughout all phases of the project - planning, execution and follow-up and we stand by our work. We utilize a team approach that encourages the participation of the contractor, owner and architect (when applicable). This synergistic approach results in better communication and creates a smoother design, building or remodeling process.

His crew synchorized in a beatutiful way so we have a team coming in to take out the old structure with my hard wood floor nicely protected, a team to repair and prepare the drywall, kevin and the carpenter to install the mud room and the trims (so the mud room looks seemless on the floor), the drywaller to repair and repaint the ceiling and the painter to repaint the hallway. The project was done in two days.
The mud room they made for us is beatutiful and high quality.
Almost any remodeling job turns out to be more than expected. You don't know what you are getting into until you actually start the job and start tearing things out and off. This particular job involved some water damage and rot around the door and frame. Kevin sent out a 3 man crew and they worked diligently and professionally for 3 days to complete the project. Kevin had other jobs going at the time but he was there every day to check on things - sometimes twice a day bringing extra materials, etc. The crew had Kevin on speed dial and they checked with each other throughout the day/project.
They were like clockwork - they start at 7 am and close up around 4.
They cleaned up around project every day.
When project was finished they hauled everything away and left premises neat.
Finished project looks great
He helps to keep expectations realistic without cutting corners.
He subcontracts little, it has been the same crew for most of the projects and if he does subcontract its with people he knows and has previous had business.
His crew is great .. they are very clean.
Kevin has great ideas about different options for doing the bathroom and basement.
I feel overtime he has learned what we like and don't like and its a given.
He has a great eye for design and finishing details but also accepts and freely accepts our input and ideas.
He is the first to say he is NOT the cheapest estimate you will receive for the estimate, but if you want it done right...
On the very few issues I have had, he has come back quickly to fix it.
He leads by example with his crew, willing to jump in a do the work when needed.
Overall we will continue to use Kevin, Aubrey, Leland, Zach, and the rest of his crew for our jobs.
