  You Get What You Pay For I paid for expert craftsmanship — and that is exactly what I got with Ben’s Better Construction & Landscaping. When we first brought Nate out to bid the job, what stood out immediately was his vision for what could be. He made recommendations that we had always wanted but weren’t even sure were possible. His creativity and confidence gave us the push we needed to move forward — and I’m so glad we did. Ivan and Jose worked diligently every single day to deliver an end result that truly makes me excited to have friends over. From day one, they impressed us. They carefully protected our flooring and adjacent rooms to mitigate dust and dirt before any demolition began. All of the heavy demo and major dust creation happened on the first day — which we really appreciated. I cannot say enough good things about this team. They are professional, highly skilled, and incredibly respectful of my home. Every single day before leaving, they made sure my home was clean. That meant everything to us while trying to live and work in the house during a renovation. Interior work included: • Removing a window and replacing it with a beautifully trimmed half wall in stained wood, matching the existing wall configuration and paint, and adding accent lighting to highlight the new feature • Closing a skylight and finishing the ceiling with texture that perfectly matches the existing ceiling • Replacing trim on an existing pass-through with stained wood to match the beams in our living room • Removing the half wall separating the kitchen from the living room and seamlessly matching the hardwood floors Exterior work included: • Stubbing out a gas line to eliminate a trip hazard left behind from an old gas grill • Adding accent lighting to our existing pergola The transformation is incredible. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and cleanliness throughout the process made all the difference. We loved what they accomplished so much that they’re coming back next month for another project. That alone says everything. If you’re considering a renovation and want it done right — you truly get what you pay for.

  Extremely Disappointing Experience — Do Your Research Before Hiring We hired Ben to handle several projects at our townhouse, including drywall, painting, flooring, and bathtub refinishing. As a catastrophe adjuster who works in the construction industry, I went into this knowing his pricing was high. In hindsight, I should have trusted my instincts, because the experience was even worse than I anticipated. Ben charged us approximately double what I believe the work should have cost, seemingly taking a 20% cut simply for coordinating other people to do the work. The biggest issue is that we were paying a premium for a level of service, accountability, and quality that we absolutely did not receive. The bathtub refinishing was a disaster. The drywall work was not completed as requested, and we ultimately had to address those issues before selling the townhouse. After the electrical work, we continued experiencing sparks from the outlets, which was extremely concerning. I also have serious questions about whether the electrician, who I understand is Ben’s brother, was properly licensed. On top of that, the painter dripped paint onto our freshly painted bathroom cabinets. Mistakes happen in construction. What separates a good contractor from a bad one is how they handle those mistakes. Ben showed little interest in taking responsibility, correcting the problems, or making things right. Instead, he blamed other people for the issues and seemed to disappear once the work was done, after asking for a five-star review. From my perspective, Ben expects to get paid without personally contributing meaningful labor or taking responsibility for the finished product. Coordinating subcontractors is a service, but charging a premium for that service should come with accountability, quality control, and a willingness to stand behind the work. We did not experience any of that. Having worked in the construction industry as a catastrophe adjuster, I have a professional understanding of estimating, labor, materials, and the standards expected of people working in this field. Based on my experience, I would have serious concerns about an estimate priced like this one, especially given the quality of the results. My biggest takeaway is that Ben seemed far more interested in collecting a paycheck than ensuring the job was done correctly. We paid far too much for subpar work, were left dealing with problems, and did not receive the follow-through we expected. I would not hire him again, and I would encourage anyone considering his services to get multiple estimates, verify subcontractors’ credentials, document everything in writing, and think carefully before handing over their money. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend him.

  We hired Ben's Better Construction to install LVP flooring 5 years ago. The flooring started buckling and cracking about a year and a half later. We suspected that the slab beneath the flooring had not been floated properly by Ben's sub contractor.. (At installation his sub contractor didn't bring a drill to mix float so they used my basic cordless drill without permission) We did reach to BBC and they sent someone to look at the floor. The gentleman said they didn't know why the floor was breaking, but it did not look like the normal things they expect and he said that he would get with Ben and they would take care of it.... Then I got a repair quote and Ben was very, very clear they only offer a 1 year installation warranty . He made it a point to tell me the exact number of days I was past my warranty in fact. He said he would replace the broken planks for a few hundred $$ but if we wanted them to make sure it was fixed correctly i.e.correcting any underlying problems it would be $$$. I just replaced that 5 year old floor. They spent hours scraping up spongy float. I would never ever use this company for anything ever again.

  My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Ben’s Better Construction and Landscaping, and I highly recommend them for any home repair or construction needs. After a major storm left multiple tree limbs through our roof, they responded quickly and professionally. Their team—especially Nate Walstrom—was outstanding throughout the entire process. Nate coordinated everything from the roof repair and replacement to the interior restoration, ensuring that the work was done efficiently and to a high standard. His communication and attention to detail gave us confidence that every part of the project was being handled with care. Since then, we’ve continued to use Ben’s Better for other projects around the house, including irrigation system repairs and various general maintenance tasks. Each time, they’ve been prompt, reliable, and thorough. We’re grateful to have found such a dependable, professional company. Ben’s Better Construction and Landscaping, and particularly Nate, have earned our full trust and recommendation.

  Maybe this looks like a regular garage. Maybe it’s the best dang garage in North Richland Hills. Until last week, I had 1960s paneling in my garage that peeled and crumbled when touched. I had giant cracks in the floor from previous settling damage. I hired BC&L to rip out the decrepit walls, install foam installation and drywall, level the drywall, and resurface my garage floor. Nate was incredibly communicative and offered helpful insight. And Jose? Well, let’s just say Jose can work miracles. I 100% plan on hiring them again in the near future. They are super reliable, affordable, and friendly. Can they come to thanksgiving dinner?
