Howard Bennett opened these doors on Maine Street in 1962 with a simple promise: every family is treated as if they were our own. Three generations later, that promise still guides every call we take.
Today the firm is led by Howard’s son Daniel Bennett and granddaughter Sarah Bennett-Walsh. We’re proud to remain locally owned — not part of any national chain — with the same staff of nine licensed professionals you’ll see at the grocery store, at church, and at your child’s school.
