Carick Home Improvements

I have been a customer of Carick Home Improvements for almost 10 years. Joel and I first worked on a full condo renovation (new floors, painting, kitchen, etc) and while being stressful as any project would be, was managed efficiently, done properly, and any maintenance after the fact was done quickly. The kitchen designer did an excellent job maximizing the layout and cabinetry - it was truly a show kitchen! Joel and I subsequently worked on a townhouse renovation (knocking out some walls, rejigging the basement, painting, new windows, doors) - this was unfortunately during the height of COVID and while the overall project was delayed by months, it was understandable due to the material and labour shortages at the time. Project was done well, any complaints or concerns I had were handled quickly and professionally throughout the process. Joel cares about the experience of his customers and ensures his trades follow through with his expectations. At the end of the day, 4 years after this renovation, if there are still concerns with the work done, Joel will make sure it is fixed to my satisfaction. He stands behind his company's work and reputation.

Working with Joe was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with, always punctual, and genuinely helpful when it came to making decisions throughout the renovation process. His guidance made what could’ve been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and manageable. The quality of the work speaks for itself—everything from the interior finishes to the exterior upgrades was done with care and attention to detail. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out and have received so many compliments on our home since the renovation was completed. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with high-end work and a professional, reliable approach, I can’t recommend Joe enough. He truly brought our vision to life.

Recently, Carick Home Improvements completed a front addition project on my home, and I could not be more pleased with the results. The finished addition has exceeded my expectations. It seamlessly blends with the existing structure of my home and has greatly improved both its aesthetic appeal and usability. The craftsmanship is evident, and I have already received compliments from friends and neighbours. My new space is truly a dream come true!

“Met and Exceeded Our Expectations” Carick Home Improvements lives up to its name and its Renomark ® designation. Renovations can be a stressful time for many people. We did not feel that way at all with Carick Home Improvements. We met with other renovators and in the end decided to go with Carick Home Improvements. The deciding factor was the personable nature of Joel Scopelleti who took to heart our vision. He was the only one to make recommendations/alternatives to our vision but allowing us to comfortably make the final decision and this continued throughout the renovation process. Joel kept us informed throughout the whole process. He has a great team of dedicated trustworthy professionals and suppliers. The workmanship is of the highest quality. We highly recommend Carick Home Improvements for anyone looking to renovate their home. We are extremely pleased with the process and the final product. In the future if we need to undergo any additional renovations we would not hesitate to use Carick Home Improvements. - Noreen and Peter, 2024

Carick has been our contractor for over 10 years. They have done numerous jobs for us, including renovating our whole main floor, a new kitchen as well as our entire basement. We have been extremely pleased with the work they have done. Their prices are reasonable and Joel knows what he is talking about. He comes up with good suggestions and is easy to get a hold of. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a renovation.

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.

Although we suspect our project was minor in comparison to other projects you tackle regularly, your accessibility and attention to the details of our renovation was very comforting.

Should prospective clients wish to speak with us further regarding our experience, you are welcome to provide them with our contact info. Thanks again and take care. Henry Byres

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.

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. Terry & Moira

We purchased a 1400 square foot condominium in Toronto in March 2020 and chose Carick Home Improvements to do a complete renovation with Joel Scopelleti as our contractor. 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 Joel kept us informed & on track. He was very approachable/available throughout the process. He was responsive to several unexpected issues and offered appropriate solutions in a timely manner. Joel recommended excellent vendors that he works with for the cabinetry, quartz supply and installation, flooring, etc. He also offered practical advice regarding cost-saving opportunities. Joel has 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 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 Joel Scopelleti and Carick Home Improvements. A & A McC

After interviewing four contractors we hired Carick Home Improvements to renovate our kitchen and put a small addition on our ninety year old home at the start of the global pandemic. We are "over the moon" at the job performed by Carick Home Improvements, their amazing trades and suppliers! From kitchen cabinets, to flooring to painters everyone took pride in their work! Carick Home Improvements worked in partnership with us from day one and every step of the way they exceeded our expectations. Whenever an issue arose we problem solved it together while staying within our budget! They also successfully navigated the construction ups and downs and lock-downs during the pandemic to get the job done! The result is an absolutely beautiful modern 21st century kitchen, walk out deck and landscaping that is now the "heart and soul" of our home! They truly care about their business and are number one in customer service.
