He is also a leader in his local community. In addition to donating his “handyman for a day” service to various school charity auctions, Bennett has given his time and time of his employees to build six different community projects including wheelchair ramps, recreational park deck and walkways, and a playhouse for special needs children

His numerous awards include being chosen as the North Coast Building Industry Association Remodelor of the Year six times since 1996, named to Remodeling Magazine’s Big 50 in 1996, and recognized as one of the top 300 remodelers in the country by Qualified Remodeler magazine.
