The transformation of Walter I.M. Hodge Pavilion is easy to see.

What isn’t as visible is the USVI workforce behind it.

The before-and-after photos show what was achieved—but they also represent the skill, pride, and craftsmanship of the local tradespeople who helped bring this community forward.

For 20 years, J. Benton Construction has been a Virgin Islands company, working alongside local trade partners across St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. Walter I.M. Hodge Pavilion is another example of what happens when local talent is trusted to lead the work.

• 96% local trade labor
• One transformed community
• Over 400 USVI tradespeople behind the result

For more than five decades, Caribbean Cooling Company has helped support the comfort and functionality of homes, businesses, and facilities throughout the Virgin Islands.

Founded in 1969, Caribbean Cooling Company is St. Croix's oldest air conditioning company. Their long history in the industry reflects a commitment to serving the community by installing, maintaining, and servicing air conditioning systems for both residential and commercial projects.

J. Benton Construction is proud to recognize Caribbean Cooling Company as a valued island‑based subcontractor. We have appreciated their knowledge and teamwork, which play an important role in helping projects operate as intended long after construction is complete.

Strong projects depend on established local companies with deep expertise. Our partnership with Caribbean Cooling Company has played a meaningful role in our work over the years, and we truly value the relationship we’ve built together.
