He grew up in Michigan and moved to eastern PA after college to be a high school Math teacher. In 2006, he started working full time in the construction field where he brings both his technical and relational skills from his previous two careers. He enjoys helping people with their home maintenance needs and has built a business on integrity, high standards, and reliability while providing exceptional customer service.
I had to take nails out of wood and lighten trash bags he filled after he demoed my kitchen on a cold February day because my trash company would not take them. He has poor communications skills and lectured me when I questioned the cost of a bill. After the aggravation I went through with the kitchen reno I told him never to contact me again. He is not a formally trained trades person but has learned on his own or gets advice from friends. After the last project I realized there was a pattern to work he didn't complete do properly or plan properly.
Stutzman Home Improvements Timing:
But I feel that he should have mentioned the markup when I asked about the tile cost. Ben did an amazing job on my master bathroom remodel. He communicated great, did beautiful work, and out of the 5 quotes we got he was very reasonably priced. I’d also like to note in reference to his only negative comment regarding the 20% increase in price. I’ve worked in a construction industry doing billing and 20% is not high at all.

Company-to-company price differences were striking. For the largest of the jobs, quotes ranged from $190,000 to $321,000—a difference of more than $130,000. Ben just remodeled our hall bathroom (in our house, it's the most widely used bathroom) and finished last week (06/19). My wife said to me when he left Friday "this turned out even better than I had imagined it would!".

Ben was on time every day and always kept us "in the know." His work is terrific, and his professionalism and friendliness are an added bonus. Regarding his craft, Ben's attention to detail and thoroughness is exemplary. I have already told him to expect us to be on his calendar quite a bit in the future.
After the last project I realized there was a pattern to work he didn't do, complete or plan properly. I have had to finish some of his projects and had to pay for labor or new items that were destroyed or not done right because of his incompetence. I had to take nails out of wood and lighten trash bags he filled after he demoed my kitchen on a cold February day because my trash company would not take the trash. He will not admit when he makes a mistake and tries to blame it on something else. He has poor communication skills and lectured me when I questioned the cost of a bill. In that same email he said he was doing me a favor by extending a French drain the way he was paid to do it.
I will certainly use him in the future, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy handyman who does a great job.

He tackled my whole list and I was ready to move in a week. He is prompt, courteous and offers suggestions on better methods to do things so your house looks great. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer Ben to friends and family.
Even after completing my kitchen 18 mos ago I am still finding things he didn't complete right. Although I gave him a good rating on his web site when he first started working for me I don't feel the same way and have asked him to remove it. After all of the aggravation I went through with the kitchen reno I told him never to contact me again. He is not a formally trained tradesperson but learns sometimes at the expense of his customer or calls a friend for advice. I no longer trust him or think he is an honest person.
Ben and his crew were professional and excellent to work with. We are very impressed with how the project looks now that it is finished. We would hire Ben again for future home renovation needs.
