There is nothing more important to Carick than customer satisfaction.
There is nothing more important to a family undertaking a renovation,
regardless of size, than confidence in the capabilities and reliability
of their contractor. We invite you to read some of the letters, most
unsolicited, that we have received from our customers. We are happy to
provide you with reference contacts.
Dear Joel and Geno
We wanted to thank you for the renovations just completed in our home. We're probably
the same as many people in that we shopped around for price quotes and met with several
contractors to discuss the en;argement and modernization of one bathroom and the
renovation of another bathroom.
What we found was a big difference in the attitude displayed by Carick compared with the other contractors. Joel was able to offer alternatives, suggestions or refinements to our adeas, and really added value to the whole project. Although the other contractors appeared to try to do the same thing, it was obvious that they were really trying to make the job easier (or cheaper) for themselves, rather than trying to deliver what we really had planned to be done. This is what sold us on Carick.
The next worry was - would Carick be able to deliver the quality that we were promised? We need not have been concerned; we are really pleased with the final product and, although there were a few gliotches along the way, they were effiently and amicably resolved. One final comment would be that Carick did not nickel and dime us to death with a few unforeseen items and we really appreciate this - it was a really pleasant change to see this happen.
Joel/Geno we would, and will, recommend Carick to our friends, neighbours and fellow workers. We will also not hesitate in using Carick again in the future.
Regards,
Allan and Irene Geddes

Dear Carick
We are thrilled with the bathroom renovation that you just completed for us, on time and on budget
This is the second job that you have done for us (basement renovation, 1998) and I feel compelled to tell you formally how impressed I am with the dedication of the craftspeople and contractors wo worked on both these jobs, often staying late and working the occasional weekend, As well, your constant supervision (often visiting the site twice a day!) really helped move things along and prevent misunderstandings that can sometimes occur.
Having our only bathroom out of commission for two weeks was a bit tricky but your people always restored it to functionality each night and left it clean enough to use. We really appreciated that effort.
I really felt the two fellows who did the bathroom work took a great deal of pride in ensuring it was done well.
I also appreciated your flexibility in adding in those few extra jobs.
We will use your services again. You can count on it. Let's all hope we move to a bigger house, with lots of contracting work to be done! Feel free to use us as a reference any time.
Best wishes,
Virginia Roy and Robert Wiseman

Dear Neighbour
re: Carick Home Improvements
If you have ever had to negotiate with a contractor about incomplete, sub-standard or otherwise unsatisfactory workmanship, then you will appreciate what I am talking about. Usually the contractor will offer to "fix" the problem, but you must still face the dilemma of risking further complications when you already know that they were unable to get it right the first time.
After several such experiences over the years, I consider myself fortunate to have discovered Geno, owner of Carick Home Improvements. Not only am I thoroughly pleased with his old style quality of workmanship, but I have also learned a wealth of information about building principles to be on the lookout for on other past and planned home renovation projects. I am impressed with his depth of knowledge and high standards.
I confidently share this information with my neighbours. After all, there is no easy substitute for quality and competent workmanship and it is reassuring to know where you can find help you can rely on to do it right the first time.
Sincerely,
Daniel ffolliott
Homeowner

Dear Sirs
This letter is not only to thank but to appreciate the great job done by you at 797 Craven Road, Toronto.
Now my second floor bedroom looks million times better than it was before with the new window.
The exterior of the house both on ground and second floors look great with your special work and it is highly impossible for racoons to damage the 3exterior walls in future.
I'm counting the savings on heating bills because of good insulation. Hats off to "Ralph" for doing a great job in a short period of time.
The electrical work, I understand that "Burt" did a lot even though he was not expected to do this much, is satisfactory.
Above all, your customer service, which I enjoyed much, is far above Canadian Standards and please keep it the same way to be #1 in North America.
I assure that you will be called first for the future home improvement/remodelling works.
Thank you very much and I wish success to you in all your future endeavours.
Sincerly yours,

We were delighted with the courtesy and consideration shown by your people and we appreciate their patience and the attention they paid to our ideas. I would also like to say how impressed we were with their high level of technical virtuosity and the quality of their work. We are already receiving many compliments for their finished product.

re: Carick Home Impprovements
I was delighted with the work done by Geno Scopelleti and his company, Carick Home Improvements, on my basement renovation.
The crew worked carefully to implement my ideas precisely. Workers were neat, polite, fastidious and trustworthy. No design attentuon was too much trouble and any small concern was dealt with immediately. Through their efforts, previously underutilized space was transformed into a new complete bathroom with fixtures and ceramics and a family room boasting a fireplace, hardwood flooring, new lighting and french doors.
All tradespeople - plumbers, electricians, carpenters and drywallers - were efficient and worked within the proposed timeline. Best of all, all work was completed within budget.
Geno Scopelleti is an honest contractor who does good work for a fair price. I will phone Carick first for any future improvements that I may plan for my home.
Sincerely,
Brian Golden

thoroughly professional.
If we are asked about home improvement work we'll have no hesitation in recommending your
Company.

Hi Joel
I wanted to thank you and your team for the fantastic kitchen
renovation. Cooking and entertaining are a prominent part of our lives
so our kitchen renovation was very important to us. We had developed our
own personal design & wanted a contractor who could realize our vision,
the result had to be built-to-last, and we were prepared to pay a fair
price to make it happen. We put a lot of research into finding the right
company to undertake our kitchen renovation and got quotes that were all
over the map. I ignored the low balled quotes, as my experience has
always been inflated later to get it back up to what they wanted it to
be in the first place.
Many things impressed me about Carick and convinced us they were the
right company to bring into our house: they were upfront & honest,
saying that their quote would not be the cheapest, nor the most
expensive, but that once accepted they would just get the job done; they
are one of the longest members of renomark, which to me said they had
been a reputable business for a long time; we would have our own
dedicated crew who would work steadily until the job was done; and Joel
met with us a number of times to carefully build the quote together with
us. We really felt good about the process and decided that working with
Carick was the way to go. The results that were achieved were far better
than anything we could have imagined.
Our lead trade Ed did excellent work, but he really demonstrated his
craft when it came to having to improvise. As the unexpected surprises
in our old house revealed them selves, Ed continually came up with
solutions that actually improved our overall kitchen design rather than
simply finding a to work-around it.
I could not recommend him highly enough. Living without a kitchen and
with the mess of a renovation are stressful enough and his team made
every effort to minimize the stress while getting the job done as
quickly and efficiently as possible.
When the job was complete we could not believe the dramatic change. It
is fair to say that our kitchen renovation has made a dramatic
improvement in the enjoyment of our house. For the first week we ate all
our meals sitting at the bar rail just looking at out kitchen and
marveling how good it looked. It has been many months now and our
enjoyment has not diminished. So thanks again and I would recommend
anyone to consider Carick Home Improvements for their renovation
Regards

Robert and I would like to Thank You and your team so much for helping
to create our beautiful new "spa" bathroom.
Being tough customers with very specific needs, we were very impressed
with your professional approach and your commitment to "getting it
right". George and Walter were not only amazingly skilled professionals,
but considerate and patient with us. We were most impressed with how
flexible, patient and considerate you were Geno with respect to
"listening" to what we wanted and never tried to compromise our vision.
We also respect that you delivered on price and there were no hidden
surprises. We hear so many stories about contracting nightmares and are
thankful to have found Carick.
We will recommend Carick whole hardily and hope to wok together on
another project in the near future.
Best regards,
Cari Steinberg & Robert Van Duynhoven

Dear Joel & Geno
I am writing to tell you that Tinda and I are greatly enjoying our new
kitchen and sun room that you completed by renovation and construction
this spring. We are very pleased with the results. Our compliments to
your professional and expert team, especially Thomas, who did
outstanding work and responded swiftly and positively to our every whim.
We are grateful to you for the stress free completion of everything. It
was a pleasure working with you.
You can be sure that we will be calling you for our future needs and
improvement projects, whatever they may be.
Yours very truly,
Julian cover

Dear Joel,
Just a few words to say how thrilled we are with the renovations. As you
will remember, our ensuite bathroom of 25 years ago was what a young
couple would have loved in the 80's. As a matter of fact, it was quite
dramatic and spectacular. Mirrors on the ceiling, mirrors on all four
walls, a Jacuzzi bath for four or six people.
As a couple in our sixties, we wanted an ensuite to be adequate for our
needs now and in years to come.
So we asked you to remove everything form ceiling to floor. Since we had
no architects to plan any of this nothing could have been done without
your expert advice and that of Thomas who had the patience and the
diplomacy to tell us what would look right and what would not.
We must also add that everything in the contract was observed. Litter
was removed from the premises. This is especially important in a condo,
as the administration is not tolerant.
Other condo rules were observed: work to be done between 10 am & 5 pm.
Between those times, there were noisy moments (removing of the marble
floor etc) but no one complained as rules were strictly observed.
We are truly pleased with the results.
A word about the time this whole procedure took. If one is to have
everything custom made, it will be time consuming. Materials come from
Europe, the USA etc. In our case patience paid off. We feel it was well
worth it. Thanks for everything.
Pierre & Marel Karch
