About us

Our company, formally Jenny's Design Build, specializes in custom-built new homes and major remodeling. We also specialize in custom kitchen and bathroom design and construction. Our experienced staff will focus on creating the project of your dreams. We believe that home improvement is not a genre but a mission statement. We do all our project management, demolition, framing, custom carpentry, trim work and painting from beginning to end in-house. Every member of our team is detail-oriented. We make sure that all selections of every detail in the project before you sign your contract with us - from the design, demolition, excavation, foundation, masonry, carpentry, cabinetry, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, tile, counter tops, preservation of your personal property, security, right down to the last door knob or cabinet pull, and the final clean-up of your home. This is always done to ensure that there are no surprises during the project. Our in-house experienced team has over 40-years experience of hands-on knowledge of residential building. Even the sales staff has multiple years of actual construction experience. There is no guesswork - we know your home from inside and out and will be on-site everyday from beginning to end. You will notice on vehicles this catch phrase "Responsibility and Accountability", that is what our company is built on. This is not a tag line, this is what everyone of us works from daily.

Very well.
Description of Work: Jenny's completely renovated the full bath on the 2nd floor of my parents' house. They gutted it and replaced the tub, toilet, sink, cabinet, medicine cabinet, fixtures, etc. Although I have only renovated two other bathrooms, this was the best experience I have had. Dave is very responsive, and he completed the job as quickly as he said he would (unlike Kitchen & Bath Depot which took 5 times as long as they said they would). I also think he takes his work very seriously and tried hard to do a good job.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I know how much Dave enjoyed working with you and I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow. It means so much to get the feedback that you've left - very gratifying. It's the reason we do this work: to defy the stereotype that so pervades this industry! :)

Description of Work: Called to get estimate on several jobs in my home, granted, nothing huge (installation of an exhaust hood, reworking of some plumbing in my bathroom, etc), but NEVER received a call back for even an estimate....is the economy that good?!??!

I'm very sorry that you've gone away from us with a bad taste in your mouth, but our records indicate that after your first inquiry, my husband David returned your call and left a message, and when you called back you actually spoke with him and he informed you that the type/scope of work that you described was not the kind of work that we do. Perhaps you've mixed us up with someone else who neglected to respond?...could be an easy mistake when calling multiple companies.

AFTER SENDING AN ESTIMATE TO THIS CLIENT IN OCTOBER, WE DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM THEM UNTIL FEBRUARY. THEIR REQUEST AT THAT POINT WAS NOT THAT WE COMPLETE THE JOB THAT WE ESTIMATED FOR THEM, BUT INSTEAD JUST A SMALL PORTION OF IT. WE EMAILED THEM BACK AS NICELY AS POSSIBLE SIMPLY EXPLAINING THAT OUR CALENDAR IS VERY FULL RIGHT NOW AND SO WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO TAKE ON SMALL JOBS AT THIS TIME. WE ARE A SMALL COMPANY AND AS WE HAVE SEVERAL LARGE JOBS GOING ON RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMED THAT THE WAY TO HANDLE EVERYONE'S NEEDS WITH THE MOST INTEGRITY WAS TO BE HONEST AND SAY THAT WE COULD NOT TAKE ON THEIR WORK AT THIS POINT IN TIME. IT WOULDN'T HAVE SERVED ANYONE FOR US TO BE SPREAD TOO THIN, DETRACTING FROM THE QUALITY OF OUR WORK ACROSS THE BOARD. I'M SORRY THE CLIENT WAS DISSATISFIED. WE WERE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

THIS BUSINESS GETS AN A+. DAVID & JENNY OF JENNY'S HELPFUL HANDYMEN WERE GREAT. THIS MASTER BATHROOM REMODELING WAS A MAJOR JOB. JENNY ALWAYS SENT ME EMAILS & CALLS TO KEEP ME UP TO DATE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS BUSINESS CARES ABOUT IT'S CUSTOMERS AND HAS PRIDE OF WORKMANSHIP. THEY GAVE ME A PROMPT ESTIMATE AND STARTED WORK IMMEDIATELY! I WAS ON A BUDGET, SO DAVE TOOK ME TO BUSINESSES WHERE I COULD SAVE MONEY ON THE TILE, GRANITE & VANITIES. ALL THE WORK DAVE DID WAS SUPERIOR! THERE WERE TIMES THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HELP ME. I FELT VERY SECURE IN HAVING THEM COME TO MY HOUSE.
Description of Work: I HAD MY MASTER BATH STRIPPED TO THE STUDS SO IT WAS A TOTAL REMODELING JOB. THE NEW DESIGN REQUIRED DAVE TO MOVE THINGS AROUND. HE INSTALLED NEW TILE ON THE FLOOR & SHOWER, INSTALLED NEW VANITIES, UPDATED TOILET AREA, CREATE A 2 PERSON SHOWER (THIS WAS NOT A PREFAB UNIT) & A W/D COMBO IN THE CLOSET.

David Bennington and his crew were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. At the outset, David came to our house (on a weekend) to survey the job site. He was prompt and professional, knowledgeable and engaging. As promised, he provided us a detailed quote (competitively priced) by email within a few hours. When work commenced, his crew was terrific, with great attention to detail. They left the job site cleaner than they found it. They were professional and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend this company. I plan on using them again!
Description of Work: This was 3-day job that included drywall work throughout first floor, installation of shoe and crown molding in two rooms, filler and trim molding around existing built-in cabinetry, design and installation of a wooden "valance" above each window seat, and retrimming a picture window.

The work went very well. David and Jenny let me know about a delay well ahead of time and showed up just when they had said they would. They were very pleasant and the work was performed quickly. I look forward to finding more work for them.
Description of Work: Repaired various holes in wallboard.

There was some confusion about scheduling the work because they had lost a guy and were on vacation when I called (there are two listings here - one under Jenny's Helpful Handymen and one under Dave Bennington - he's Mr. Jenny. I called the second # and got the cell when they were in Florida). Due to the confusion, Dave agreed to come out after work on a Thursday to do the work. He even found a used door (it's a basement - what they heck!) and got it for me for at least 1/3 off. He's a real craftsman and got the work done in record time. The door fits nice and tight, and the dog door is perfect. Both Jenny (on the phone) and Dave are very nice people and dedicated to satisfying their customers.
Description of Work: Purchased and installed a new basement door. The door had to be shortened, and a cut-out for the dog door created. The dog door installed and the new door hung.

The job went great. I had just moved into the house and wanted to get this work done. He accommodated me by getting his crew to install my molding on a weekend. The project was done very quickly and was of high quality. They also cleaned up well each day after work. I would highly recommend this company and have already contracted with them again for another project.
Description of Work: I contracted with Jenny's Helpful Handymen to remove my existing chair rail molding in the foyer, dining room and living room. I then had them add a 2 piece chair rail in those rooms, as well as shadow boxing. In addition, I had two knee walls added in my basement with brackets, so I can add granite for a bar type area. They also prepped the woodwork for painting, including caulking, filling nail holes etc. Dave Bennington, one of the company owners, is the one who came out to do the estimate. He was extremely knowledgeable and had great ideas. I felt the price was very reasonable for what I wanted done. I didn't pick "basic" molding, so my material costs were almost 40% of the total cost. They gave me an itemized estimate, and the final total was exact to the estimate.

It went fantastic. David brings the highest standards of excellence to his business and carpentry work. He is very exacting, professional and honest. He left my home clean and orderly at all times. Any problems that came up, he took care of it. I highly recommend his company for jobs of all types, from basic carpentry to full home renovations and most especially for custom built cabinetry. I know this because before I hired him, I inspected the custom kitchen cabinets he built for another customer. He built all these cabinets by hand and they just looked gorgeous. As for my closets, they look great and the doors are a pleasure to open!
Description of Work: I hired David for work on two closets. The first involved building out a closet from scratch as no closet existed in the space before. He put in the framing, drywall, rod, tracks and hung new doors; everything that was needed. On the second, he had to change the width of one wall. Also, I'd purchased the closet doors from Home Depot and they were too high for the space; David cut them down and installed floor supports to make it work out. The closets were completed on-time and were built and hung perfectly.
