"Working with Wayde has been a wonderful experience! For the past 4 years we’ve had the good fortune to have him look after our summer home and manage our property before and after our tenants check in and out as well as in between. As we live in Europe most of the year it is imperative to me to have someone reliable and trustworthy and proactive and Wayde embodies all of those qualities. He is fast and efficient and incredibly good with high tech issues like remote control thermostats and equally as strong with hands on issues like fixing a screen or a broken lock. Having Wayde on board and in charge of our old farmhouse gives us a great sense of peace of mind! We would highly recommend his services to anyone. “ -Jennifer, East Marion
Living in Brooklyn and having a 2nd home in Orient has been wonderful yet often very stressful. That is until we found Wayde. Wayde has been our go to person for all things house! As anyone who owns a house knows, it is hard to find someone trustworthy and skillful to help care for your home. Wayde is both of those things and much more. Reliable, responsible, knowledgable in every aspect of building, fixing and maintaining a home, Wayde treats our home as if it was his own and always goes the extra mile to ensure successful results.He is an excellent carpenter and all that he does is high quality. We can’t say enough about working with Wayde. Easygoing, reassuring and highly competent, Wayde is the only person we contact when we are seeking home services. We are eternally grateful for Wayde, he is a rare find in our current world. -Lois, Orient
"We first started using Wayde to watch our house over 10 years ago, and would never think of hiring anyone else. He does so much more than just making sure your house is still standing and calling an expert if something is wrong. Usually, he’ll fix it. Wayde is a computer expert, carpenter, home inspector and all around systems guy. He can diagnose your electricity, plumbing, HVAC, security, etc. Not only is he an excellent caretaker, he did an impeccable job rebuilding the front porch of our historic home. His craftsmanship was spectacular. He’s reliable, friendly and what you will instantly recognize as your all around good ole guy. Highly recommended." -Mary and Pete, Orient
"Wayde Bennett has been our property manager for 6 years. We honestly could not rent our house out without Wayde. He is one of the most reliable, detail-oriented, trustworthy people we know. He checks on the house weekly during the off-season. During the rental period, he inspects the house before and after each tenant arrives or departs. He is available to help our renters with any problems that arise.He contacts local repair people to schedule appointments and meets them if we are out of town. Wayde has handled hidden bee-hives, collapsed awnings, broken pool filters, dysfunctional dryers,furniture eaten by dogs and he even oversaw a kitchen reno we did from afar. He’s an all-around great guy. We are so lucky to have him take care of our house. " -Pam and Rich, New Suffolk
Wayde is honest, fair and neat. He comes when he says he will, does exceptional work and cleans up when he is finished. He is proud of his work and does not cut corners. I am proud to show all what he has done for me. I have a Wayde’s list which I refer to when I want something done. He is creative and has a good eye for what can and can not be done. -Barbara and Al, Southold
"Wayde is extremely reliable, a talented carpenter, and I recommend him without hesitation! Wayde completes every job on time and leaves his work space spotless when finished! " -Martha, Orient
"On our most recent project, Wayde managed the design and construction of a project adding new French doors leading to a spacious screened-in porch - now our favorite room in the house! His attention to detail was meticulous and he ensured our project was completed beautifully and on time. He is professional and extremely knowledgeable - an asset to anyone looking to improve or build a home." -Sally, Southold
"Over the past 15 years Wayde has been the only craftsman that we have used to do new projects and all the finishing work in our home. We have a new farmhouse and Wayde has always listened with great attention to our needs and desires and then masterfully turned our dreams into reality with his flawless woodworking. His construction and artistry will stand the test of time. It is inspiring work with careful attention to every detail. We look forward to working with Wayde again on new projects when they arise.
