**★★★★★ — Rosemary Lande, April 2020**

> Excellent workmanship. Knowledgeable with many suggestions.  Timely and outstanding results.  Respectful workmen and supervision.  Exceptional ideas and cost-saving decisions.  Look forward to using them in the future.

**★★★★★ — HU-237434808, Dec. 2018**

> Carmel Guild Did a great job on my bathroom remodel . Everything was done professionally and with great skill. The fixtures, the tile, the cabinet and granite countertop all came together to make a beautiful new bathroom. I highly recommend them!

**★★★★★ — Jenifer Banbury, Dec. 2018**

> Jim and his crew were wonderful.  My home needed major updating
> And Jim went room by room fixing,  replacing and  updating everything.  It looks like a new house now.  A great job by a creative
> And thoughtful crew.  I am totally happy and highly recommend Jim
> for any work needed.

**★★★★ — Mara Amato, Nov. 2018**

> Jim Johnston was very easy to work with. We got ideas from him and he was understanding about trying to keep costs contained.  Everything looks beautiful!  We did 2 bathrooms with marble tiles.  It looks gorgeous and I just really love the shower enclosures.  It really opened up the bathrooms!  The only glitch was the painting-we should have talked specifics as in texture and not assumed the ceiling would be white, as opposed to the color of the walls.  We are very happy with our remodel.

**★★★★★ — Marlene Stearns, Sept. 2018**

> Extremely professional in every matter. I would highly recommend Carmel Guild Construction Company to anyone. His work was completed in a timely manner.
