We made the mistake of trusting him with a renovation of our late grandfathers cabin, and he has done nothing but destroy it, along with stealing $93910 worth of money and materials he stated we paid in full for. He will lie to you to the point where he can't even keep them straight. The second you question his integrity he becomes very defensive and angry. Luckily we are organized and have every interaction documented for our civil suit. He will cut corners to pocket more money, and make up "codes" to inflate your prices. He told us our kitchen cabinets had to be fire rated due to an Ulster County code....there is no such thing as a county code, let alone a NY State Code for this as confirmed by the code enforcement officer of our town. When we called to find out about these $24,000 cabinets (mind you we asked for unfinished in stock Home Depot cabinets to be painted) the code enforcement looked up our property only to find out there was NEVER ANY PERMITS FILED for the structural work done by Mr. Sisson. He had told us about interactions with the code officer, and how expensive and hard it was to obtain such permits. The code officer had never had a single interaction with Mr Sisson until the day she placed a stop work order on our property. When you ask for proof of receipts or orders he will not produce them, and will become instantly angry. He has an excuse and lie for everything, and will bully and blame you for all issues. He has removed structural beams, leaving our property unsafe with the risk of collapsing with the first snowfall. Estimates of work done by numerous other contractors deem his work unprofessional, sloppy, and subpar. The are all shocked to the point of laughing at what he's done. Everything needs to be ripped out and replaced due to his negligence. Do not trust this man with anything! Pictures below are of the work he performed, and the condition in which he left our property after being police escorted to get his tools. He had promised to exchange our materials the day he picked up his tools wih the officer....guess what, he brought nothing. We regret ever doing business with him, and we hope this review will prevent anyone from dealing with the headache Mr Sisson has brought upon our family.

The final result was just superb and we could not be more pleased with the quality of work and with the friendly and hard-working gentleman on this job. We think highly of Bennett because of their exceptional work.

This year, I finished the biggest project yet: my kitchen. It was a down-to-the-studs renovation - a big job. The day John came over to scope out the project, he stressed that he wanted my family to be comfortable with everybody on the team. "Kitchen renovation is the most disruptive thing you can do to a house. We're going to be living with you for months," was how he put it. : ) All of the folks who spent time here were skillful, conscientious, and friendly. In every way, they were a great team. The next time I have any renovations to do, I'll definitely go to John Walston and Skylands!

I did as requested, but no response came. We followed up with additional emails, and then another call when I was told that Calvin was very busy but would get back to me.
