Benny is great Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Benny did an outstanding job putting up my big mosley on my 100ft tower and all the other vhf antennas. he brought all the equipment to do the tramming and was very knowledgable in how to rig it so we could steer it.

Quick and easy Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I called Benny to finish stacking 55G which I had started and couldn't find the time and help to finish it. It also needed guy wires, rotor shelf, rotor, and mast installed - and the antennas!

Before he arrived, we spoke numerous times to be sure I had everything ready to go - he needs to understand your level of competency also. We worked 4 good days (2 of which were windy). In that time we installed 3 Philly/steel combo guys, added a section of 55G (75' out of the ground), installed rotor plate, intermediate rotor plate, rotor, top plate and bearing, 22' chro-mo mast, 7BA-JK HF beam, 13b2 VHF beam, and a Comet CX-333 2m/1.25m/70cm omni. He ran the 2 LMR600s, LMR400, and rotor cable down the tower with nice rotor loops.

He has some great equipment for construction including a nice capstan winch and calibrated wire tension gauge. His rates are the best of any installer I spoke with (compared to another installer and tower company).

When I need repairs or a just a maintenance check-up, he'll be the only person I call.

Antenna Installation Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Benny is a great person to,work with! He has been to my qth a couple of times and I would not use anyone else.

He is very safety conscious and thoroughly knows his work. For me he has raised my tower, installed my beam and also a 2m yagi.

His pricing is very reasonable.

Excellent Work Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Benny was recently in the Charlottesville, VA area so I had him repair my Bencher Skyhawk Yagi damaged by a March windstorm. I also had him install a 17 meter rotatable dipole above my Skyhawk. His work was excellent, he was very safety conscious, and his total charges were quite reasonable. In addition, he is most pleasant.

Great guy, good work. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My 2nd review for BP Tower. Needed a rotor swapped and a 40 ft 6m beam aligned with the other beams on the mast. Benny got it done quickly, charged a very fair price and was gone so quickly that I didn't get out of mowing the yard.

Excellent work, great value Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Benny removed and helped us refurbish my 95 pound Sommers XP706 HF Yagi. He then reinstalled it on my 60' tower. He is knowledgeable, dependable, and creative. Benny knows what he is doing and I will use his service again when it is needed!

Ecxcellent work... Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Benny is first and foremost SAFE! He is meticulous, honest, works hard without a single complaint ... I'd highly recommend him. Also reasonable rates. We did a 148' rotating tower with a rotary 80/75 dipole at the top, 4EL40, 5/5 on 20 and 6/6 on 15. 17 hours on the tower over 2 days.

Successful Project Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My project involved a 25-G and tri-bander takedown followed by installation of a fold-over section four months later. Benny completed both tasks in a timely and professional manner. The fold-over configuration is a little more involved than the usual tower job and the installation presents some challenges that Benny overcame with his experience and wide array of special tools. He offered several suggestions which improved the safety of my setup. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Earlier 5-star review posted by N4DXC on 2015-06-24

Benny has the equipment and skills to do a wide variety of tower projects. He has invested in a range of equipment that includes a powered capstan winch that is a big help with lifting or lowering heavier items. He is prompt and efficient at setting up the equipment and doing the work at hand. He is very fair with billing for his time, and doesn't quibble over every minute spent. He works carefully without taking risks, yet maintains a productive pace. He needed to position his truck on my prized zoysia lawn, and he was very careful to ease it into position using 4-wheel drive to avoid damage to the turf. I will definitely have him back to finish the second phase of my project. Highly recommended.

Job was professionally done in a timely manner. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Benny arrived when he said he would and did a great job above
and beyond what we thought it would be. The weather was
excellent for the job. He installed a used HyGain tower and a
used rotator which was in pieces when I received it. We were
going to install a Mosley pro-57a but missing parts put a stop to that. We changed directions and installed a Hex beam with
a "Benny Special" porcupine on the top of the tower. I'm hoping Benny can return in the spring and move the Hex beam and install the Pro 57a on the tower. Benny is very reliable and does an excellent job, we enjoyed his company.

Internet remote tower antenna and HDTV tower antenna Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Benny is competent, pleasant to work with, reasonable in his charges. Unlike others, Benny doesn't "pick his jobs", going for the easy or straightforward. He assesses what is needed, and just gets it done. In my case, the antenna was not guyed properly, leading others to decline to climb it (that part is understandable). Instead of simply saying it was not safe, Benny determined what was necessary to make it safe, did it, and then did the climb and restoration of service needed. All of this with a heat index of 100 + degrees, without any complaining at all. He did a turn key job under tough circumstances. Highly,Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!
