Carick Home Improvements

Carick Home Improvements has completed four projects in our home since 2012. Each project was a step towards the full renovation of our 56 year old North York home.

Our first project in 2012 renovated the 2nd floor bathroom, added an en-suite bathroom and refreshed all the upper floor rooms and the landing area. There were two subsequent renovation projects for another bathroom/laundry room and for the kitchen/foyer/living/dining rooms.

Our last project to renovate the family room and basement was completed this summer 2023. New drywall replaced the old wood panelling in the family room and basement. The old fireplace was
removed from the family room and new flooring was installed throughout.

We have been very pleased with all the work done so far. The interior of our home is now fully refreshed and is looking great. Joel has managed each of these projects for us with great care and professionalism resulting in fantastic results. Joel has retained a team of experienced tradespeople over the years that do high quality work. Each project was managed to stay on schedule and on budget.

Overall we are happy with the work that Carick Home Improvements has done for us. Joel and his crew do quality work, on-time and at the quoted price. I would highly recommend the Carick team to manage your home renovation project.

My husband and I recently completed an extensive renovation of our family room, foyer, powder room and dining room.

Our designer had previously worked with Joel and his team and after our first meeting with him, we knew we were in

excellent hands. Joel listened to our concerns and often provided options or alternate suggestions.

All the contractors he brought in were outstanding: professional and highly skilled.

We are extremely pleased with the results and are happy to recommend Joel and Carick Home Improvements. Our

friends and family have all been very impressed with the transformation of our home. Our only regret is having waited

so long to undertake this project!

Many thanks to Joel and his wonderful team!

Carick Home Improvements was recommended by friends who are knowledgeable about design, renovation and quality of work and we trusted their judgement.

The work in our apartment involved the complete demolition and renovation of the bathroom and kitchen with us living on site throughout the work.

We found the contractor pleasant and easy to work with. He returned our calls and answered any and all questions even when the news was disappointing.
We appreciated the high level of skill and experience of his team as well as their efficiency and good nature. After their first day on site, we relaxed realizing we were in good hands. Waste was removed and materials delivered with a minimum of disturbance to the rest of the building which was noticed and appreciated by our neighbours.
Having a continuous schedule proved impossible for various reasons but we felt as well informed as possible about the reasons for the breaks and when the work could resume.
For the tiling, countertops and bathroom fixtures, we relied on suppliers recommended by the contractor and are pleased at the results.
We are happy to recommend Carick Home Improvements.

Our family was extremely happy with the two renovation projects completed by Carick in our home. Joel was very professional and always available from start to finish to discuss any issues. The team particularly did a great job upfront with getting all the plans, permits and drawings complete and at the end in helping us choose and get the finishes right which made all the difference. Our two projects were large jobs and consisted of a first and second floor remodel and a third floor addition. We are very glad we decided to go with Carick.

A trusted friend recommended Carrick and specifically Joel when a bathroom renovation from another renovator had gone particularly bad. Joel showed up assessed the situation and brought in a very professional team to clean up the mess and make the bathroom a show case.
So it was only natural when I decided to build a garage in 2021 that I reached out to Joel.

I could not have picked a worse year for such a project, labour shortages, product shortages, soaring material costs however Joel and his tradesmen brought the project in on time and in budget.

This was a full garage project, cement Pad poured, framing, Roofing, siding, doors, Windows and a storage platform. All under the watchful eyes of city inspectors. Did Joel; run into issues? Yes, did he overcome and move forward? Yes, brilliantly. Do all my neighbors have a bad case of Garage envy? You want to believe it!

Thanks Joel and Carick.

We would like to express our appreciation to Carick Home Improvements for the quality work recently completed at our residence. After reviewing several proposals from other firms, my wife and I made the decision to put the renovation work at our Davisville Village home in the capable hands of Joel and his tradesmen.

Joel was professional in his approach to providing an accurate scope of work and contract price for our extensive renovation. This included interior upgrades, new flooring, complete kitchen demolition and replacement to a more functional layout, new second floor bathroom and basement powder room and laundry area. All new electrical wiring and complete plumbing replacements were completed as well as new windows throughout. The sub-contractors brought in by Joel were courteous, respectful of our surrounding's and excellent at their trades.

Moira and I are very happy with the services provided by Carick Homes Improvements and will certainly use Joel again for future projects. We would also recommend Joel to others for similar home renovation projects.

We purchased a 1400 square foot condominium in Toronto in March 2020 and chose Carick Home Improvements to do a complete renovation. The start of the renovation was delayed 3 months by our condo board because of the onset of the pandemic. Doing a renovation during the first year of the pandemic was challenging but Carick kept us informed & on track. They was very approachable/available throughout the process. They were very responsive to several
unexpected issues and offered appropriate solutions in
a timely manner.
They recommended excellent vendors that they work with for the cabinetry, quartz supply and installation,
flooring, etc. They also offered practical advice
regarding cost-saving opportunities.
The contractor had a flair for design and optimized the space within the condominium. The condo was
reconfigured to accommodate a combined office/den
with built in desk with quartz top and cabinetry as well
as a pivoting glass transom to optimize lighting and
ventilation. This area leads to a private entrance to the
master bedroom suite which includes an intervening
hallway/foyer with beautiful built in closets and
drawers which provides separation between the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom.
We had a small nook along one wall of the dining-room area which was converted to a 10 inch deep cabinet
which included a space to place wine bottles.
A recessed ceiling in the living-room was created with a peripheral 2 foot wide slightly lower border with
multiple small recessed pot lights. This made the living-
room appear more spacious & bright.
A wall separating the kitchen from the dining/living room was removed to facilitate an open concept living
area. We were required to retain a post which
functioned as a conduit for Bell.  It was incorporated
into the edge of the quartz waterfall of the island and  
tiled to match the kitchen backsplash. It looks great!
In summary, we were very pleased with the outcome of the renovation and would highly recommend Carick Home Improvements.

We are "over the moon" happy with the job performed by Carick Homes and their amazing trades in bringing our 90 year old home into the 21st century! They worked in partnership with us to deliver our dream kitchen! What we got every step of the way was absolutely professionalism. There was no problem that they didn't have a solution. The result is an absolutely beautiful modern kitchen, that includes an extension on our home and new deck! They also successfully navigated the many ups and downs and closures during the pandemic! They care about their business and are truly number one in customer service!

We selected Carick based on a recommendation of a friend that had a very positive experience. We were not disappointed. We hired Carick Home Improvements to create a self-contained basement apartment in our home. Despite the obstacles of the pandemic that occurred as work started, Carick was able to find workarounds and get the job done. The trades and workers selected by Carick were first class. Carick was very accessible to answer questions and ready to assist when problem solving was necessary. At the end of the day, we are very happy with the results and do not hesitate to recommend Carrick. In fact, based on our recommendation, a close friend also choose Carick to do a kitchen expansion

Incredibly positive reno experience. Excellent quality work and Joel Scopelleti was wonderful to work with. High quality workmanship, great problem solving, and lots of laughs along the way. And best off all - on budget and on time despite pandemic!
