About Us

In 2005, Thomas Benjamin—better known as Tommy—stepped onto a New York City construction site with little more than a tool belt, a relentless work ethic, and a vision: to build spaces that inspire. What began as a one-man operation repairing brownstone stoops and local storefronts has grown into Tommy Ben Constructions, a trusted name shaping New York’s skyline and beyond.

From Humble Beginnings to Lasting Impact

Tommy’s philosophy was simple: Treat every project like it’s your own home. Word spread quickly. Clients didn’t just hire a contractor—they gained a partner who listened, innovated, and delivered. A kitchen remodel in Queens led to a Brooklyn townhouse renovation. That townhouse led to a Manhattan high-rise. Today, our portfolio spans commercial towers, civic infrastructure, and bespoke residential projects, but our heart remains rooted in the relationships that built us. Over 80% of our work comes from repeat clients or referrals—a testament to the trust we’ve earned, one handshake at a time.

The Tommy Ben Difference

We’re not just builders; we’re storytellers. Every beam we raise, every finish we polish, reflects Tommy’s founding belief: Quality is the quiet ambassador of your reputation. Our team—handpicked for their skill and shared commitment to integrity—works alongside you, blending time-tested craftsmanship with cutting-edge methods. Whether restoring a historic Bronx landmark or engineering a sustainable office complex, we prioritize transparency, safety, and your peace of mind.

Still Building, Still Learning, Still New York

Though our reach now extends nationwide, our soul is irrefutably New York. The grit, the ambition, the diversity of this city pulse through everything we do. Tommy still walks every job site, coffee in hand, because to us, construction isn’t about concrete and steel—it’s about people.

“Join us in building more than structures. Let’s create legacies.”

— Thomas “Tommy” Benjamin, Founder & CEO
