We say goodbye to one of our master tradesmen, John Groen. He passed away this past Friday, freed from his earthly pain and suffering of cancer.
John began his career with us in 1997 and dedicated more than 20 years to B.E.N. He was instrumental in shaping who we are today—his experience, craftsmanship, and tenacity played a key role in our growth and development. I was deeply grateful for his knowledge and commitment.
His legacy lives on through his family—his son Justin, one of our master stonemasons, and granddaughter Vanessa, who worked with our crews this summer.

We offer condolences to Johns wife Alice, Justin and all the family. We pray for their faith and confidence in God’s eternal promises as they lay him to rest.
See attached obituary.

Revisiting a home that we built almost 20 years ago. The craftsmanship, the detail, the timeless stonework - its moments like this that remind us why we do what we do.

Making the best of the last few warm (relative term😉) days of the year!

Always satisfying to take down the scaffold after a full repoint

Some of you may have found us working downtown Elora for the past few months 🦺

This building is receiving a much needed facelift and structural restoration. Exposing stone that has been covered for years and bringing this building back to its former glory!
