Association Announces 2014 Best in Building Award Winners
Albany, NY – The Capital Region Builders & Remodelers Association (CRBRA) recently announced the winners of their annual Best in Building Awards, and named Bennett Contracting’s website as the best website among remodelers in Albany, Columbia, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady Counties of New York State. The CRBRA judges considered design, information quality and ease of use when selecting the winner of the best remodelers’ website category.
“We had three goals when we redesigned our website in 2012,” said Greg Jackson, President and CEO of Bennett Contracting. “First, was to create a great user experience for homeowners interested in remodeling projects. Next was to communicate our competitive position as the area’s most trusted remodeler. And finally, to communicate the scope and quality of work we provide our customers, including remodeling, additions, windows & doors, siding, bathrooms, kitchens, porches and decks.”
“The success of our website was a collaborative effort. We have to thank the web design and development team at Burst Marketing, our partners in the website project,” continued Jackson. “Their web expertise and interface design helped us translate our vision into an effective marketing and conversion tool,” he said.
Website analytics show the site has continued to build traffic and generate leads for Bennett Contracting… in just the first two months, customer response skyrocketed, from a pre-redesign average of 30 leads per month to over 80 leads per month – a 266% increase. Since then, traffic and leads have continually increased month over month, even during typically slow winter seasonality.

“We’re proud to have been a part of the web development project and we join the CRBRA and the community in congratulating Bennett Contracting for another job well done,” Borland concluded.
