I've had Benchmark do painting for us a couple times, and I've been happy with their work and also their warranty (they came back and repainted when we had some chipping). However, this review is for staining. We had benchmark re-stain some stair rails and a door for us, and they look terrible....

The painting was sloppy especially around the doors, edges and trim. The paint on my doors began chipping within days of the job. I sent an email asking if they could come back and redo the doors but never received a response.

Overall, the job went well. The painters arrived on time both days and managed to complete the job in two days. While working on the job, one of the painters noticed that some of the trim had rotted, so Mario was able to provide a carpenter to replace that piece of the trim. This was at an...

The company seems to do granite well but cabinets? Not at all. I should have had a clue when they didn't have the cabinets that were on the web site where the deal was first advertised. Nor were their samples of the cabinets in the store! I still went with the though. They were pretty late...

Brush Chipping FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, many services offer environmentally friendly disposal options.

Dormant seasons like fall and winter are the best times to dig up plants, including holly bushes. Plants aren’t growing during these seasons, so the removal process goes a lot quicker. Consider hiring a landscaping team to handle holly bush removal during the cold-weather months for off-season pricing deals, too.

Yard waste should be professionally removed at least once per season, particularly during major landscaping projects, fall leaf accumulation, or after severe weather. Regular removal promotes lawn health and maintains a neat exterior.

Most rose bushes should not be heavily pruned in the summer since this is the prime growing and blooming season. The best time to trim is typically after the growing season or right before spring, depending on your rose bush variety. However, you can cut away any dead or diseased areas or lightly trim spent blooms during the summer to encourage more growth.

To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to one to two inches. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as Bermuda grass), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.
