It was a pleasure working with Geno Scopeletti (Carick Home
Improvements), who took on our kitchen renovation plus myriad other home improvements last year (including completing a second floor air return which our HVAC contractor had agree to install and then abandoned). On the whole, Carick was on time and on budget, and we especially liked working with their talented subcontractor for carpentry and plumbing, Thomas. Geno was great at listening and responding to our concerns as the project went on, and adjusting its scope to our wishes and choices. After consulting with his cabinetmaker and designer, Mario, we largely designed the kitchen ourselves, and are thrilled with the results. (We found Mario more challenging to work with than Geno, and eventually decided it was better to let Geno interact with him on our behalf.) We encountered some other unexpected challenges with our century home along the way, and Geno was very helpful at recommending professionals to help us overcome these. We had a warm/cool relationship with his electrical contractor, who did very nice work for us but also disregarded some important instructions leading to a costly error.
Now, a year after the start of our project, and eight months
after its conclusion, we have our dream kitchen and are very happy indeed with the results. We lived in the house through
the renovation and Carick was great about keeping the worksite clean at the end of each day and setting up a temporary
kitchen in our basement which made this possible.
Geno has also been very good about sending contractors back to correct little problems and details as they arose, even correcting a minor error in our design. Carick stands by their work. We hope to use Carick for further renovation projects in the future and and would gladly recommend them to family and friends.
