Benicia Home Improvement Center

Since the day we moved into this 70s-era Southampton home, 27 years ago, I wanted the Taco Bell Windows wall gone, along with the shallow countertop it barely allowed but life gets in the way and it was never really a priority. Until one day I walked into Benicia Home Improvement Center and told Jeff to make it go away. Jeff came out, took some measurements and turned me over to designer Jennifer who was great fun to work with. Her ideas and suggestions were so spot-on to my vision that I was inspired to ask her what we could do with the "cupboard under the stairs" now that that Potter kid had moved out and she turned her magic onto that space too. The biggest thing that put the project off for so long was the question of whether or not the wall was load-bearing. We had several friends with a similar model house in Southampton and had seen many configurations of full wall, solid partial wall and half-height wall with support post but never no wall so Jeff coaxed Benicia architect Steve McKee out of near-retirement to put his stamp on the plans that said the wall could go and we were off and running. The work crews were some of the most polite men I'd ever met and each of them was there to do the best job possible. There was no "make it work" attitude just "do it right" dedication. They'd even carry in the Amazon packages and Instacart orders that would appear on the doorstep and every day they left the demolished kitchen cleaner than when we ever left it after cooking. My only regret is that I didn't stick my nose into Benicia Home Improvement Center 15 years ago to see what they could do.

As a builder, we just wrapped up our kitchen project and I had to send a big shoutout to Jen, our kitchen designer, and The BHIC Crew! Thank you for making this one feel so effortless — on our side and for the client. Working with BHIC in this capacity has always been one of those experiences where we know it’s going to be organized, professional, and customer-first every step of the way. The crews were awesome. Romarts crushed the countertops — quick, clean, and super detailed. The tile guys brought their A-game as well: great communication and a sharp eye, even with a simple subway pattern that can easily show flaws. Bottom line — smooth project, zero drama, happy client — and that’s all we can ask for. Really appreciate you Jen (as always) and your team! Thanks again and we'll see you on the next one! 👊🏼😎

2025 Our 40-year-old bathroom needed a refresh, so we reached out to Benicia Home Improvement.  They put together easy to read quote with enough detail to know everything was covered and priced.  Joe and Cody did an outstanding job.  They were knowledgeable, hardworking, friendly, had good communication skills, and left the work site tidy at the end of each day.  We are very happy with the outcome and recommend them if you're looking to have your bathroom refreshed. 2022 We give Benicia Home Improvement 5-stars on their outstanding job on our kitchen remodel. They're a one stop shop for design, purchase, and construction which made the whole process so easy. We were very happy with design and how it was translated to the finished product. The construction crew were friendly, respectful, and skilled. We recommend Benicia Home Improvement to anyone considering professional remodel.
