Carmel Builders

We just finished up our basement finishing project with Carmel Builders and are so pleased! Not only does the project outcome look great and give us the added functional space we were looking for, the process along the way was very smooth. From design, to selections, to construction, we enjoyed working with all the staff at Carmel. We have quite a few neighbors who are also in the midst of basement remodels, and we were certainly the quickest timeline of them all. Additionally, the quality of the construction is high. Robert, our project manager, paid great attention to detail and was on site a lot. Anything that came up along the way was communicated clearly and in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend Louis and the team at Carmel Builders to friends and neighbors for their remodeling needs.

We had the opportunity to build an addition with Carmel Builders and couldn't be more pleased. Louis, Art and Tracy were amazing to work with, communicating with us every step of the way. Art came out in the middle of a weekend wind storm to ensure our in-progress room was locked down tight. Tracy helped us pick out carpets, furniture, brick, tile, paint and so much more. Her insights transformed the room into a comfortable respite. Carmel's contractors were amazing - friendly, hard-working and experts at their crafts. We give Carmel Builders an A+ and highly recommend them to anyone considering a home addition.

This project was our second experience working with Carmel Builders. As expected, they came through with flying colors. Our first project was the conversion of a den to a mud room and the product was excellent. This time we needed an additional first floor bedroom to allow my 91 year old father to move in with us. We converted a screened porch to a bedroom. Carmel personnel listened to our needs and designed the perfect room. They also designed the conversion while keeping in mind the long term usage potential for our family. In the future the room can be re-purposed for use as a laundry room. Following the design phase, they proceeded to build it. The design and final product complements our home and looks as if it was original to the home constructed in 1929. The staff was helpful with suggestions for design and handled unanticipated problems along the way with professionalism all the while keeping us informed. The owner, Louis Weiher, is honest and approachable and will ensure that the customer is completely satisfied. Because of his approach, his staff follows his lead and produces an excellent product. Every single individual involved in the project was always friendly and helpful. They utilize individuals who possess the skills, work ethic and attitudes that make it so easy to produce a great product with professionalism while being friendly and helpful. We always felt comfortable with any of the individuals who worked in and around our home. We look forward to working with Carmel Builders for our next home improvement project!

I can't say enough positive things about the fantastic job the Carmel team did with my kitchen remodel! Louis and his team were forthcoming at every stage of the process about timelines, scheduling, and cost. When issues came up, as they always do in projects of this size, they kept me informed and they kept the project on schedule. They were also conscientious about keeping the space clean, which is no easy task when there's no space on-site for a dumpster and the project lasts 16 weeks. In addition to their professionalism, they all have a keen eye for design and came up with creative ideas to best utilize my space (a hot commodity in a condo!) that are also modern and fun. Thanks to Louis, Robert, Shelly, and everyone else at Carmel for their hard work - I'd recommend them to anyone shopping around for their home remodel!

We had the pleasure to collaborate with Carmel Builders. They really care about their clients experience and the excellence of their work. looking forward for the next time!

We hired Carmel Builders to help us with a mudroom project we were considering in our new home. Very early into the design process, it became clear that this project was going to exceed the budget we had hoped, and our only way to complete it was to be our own General Contractor. Louis and Linda were very understanding and helpful. Once we made this realization, they immediately offered to refund us the design retainer. Even though we didn’t end up working with them, we were very impressed with their level of professionalism and commitment to great customer service.

We were very happy with Carmel. Everyone from the company, on site and office personnel, was very professional and personable. Even our neighbors commented many times how friendly everyone was. Kate listened to everything I wished for and really understood my style. The cabinets are beautiful and fit perfectly in our 100 year old crooked kitchen! Unfortunately, the painting contractor was a disappointment. They had to return many times and we were never fully satisfied with their work. Robert and Louis listened to our concerns.

We worked with The Carmel Building team to renovate our condo. The condo was tired looking and very worn and needed updating. Carmel builders came through and did everything in a timely, well-coordinated, professional manner. The project price came in at a bit over $100,00 due to us costing up some desired items. The original contract was set at $86,000. The project took 3 months and would have been done sooner. Unfortunately, we had a water intrusion problem not related to Carmel Builders which set our project back by a couple of weeks. Robert worked really had to keep the reno going in spite of the delays and he advocated on our behalf. The renovation included: new wood floors, kitchen and bathroom cabinets repainted, new glass in some of the cabinets, new quartz counter tops in the kitchen and two bathrooms, barn door, bedroom doors, new hardware throughout, new light fixtures, electrical, grout and stone work, tile work for backsplashes, and all other details including project management and coordination. The team was incredibly competent. Kate walked us through the process and has an excellent eye for design, color and coordination of the project. Shelly was fantastic and was most helpful with suggestions. Robert was wonderful and created a trusting relationship. He did everything he promised. Art is a really good guy who was always cheerful and helpful. Luis the owner is a very honest man who always comes through. I highly recommend the company and they give excellent value for the cost.

Carmel Builders were outstanding from the beginning moment of meeting them through the entire kitchen remodeling project. Carmel has a great work ethic as well as a wonderful collaborative group of people. We were well informed of every detail of the project. It was nice to view the scheduled activities online. Each milestone went as stated and the kitchen was completed on time. When we had a question, communication was very prompt and concise. The kitchen turned out marvelous to every detail. Their quality is impeccable. We highly recommend Carmel Builders. The Marino Family

I work monthly with Carmel Builders and they are consummate professionals. From design to finish, they make the remodeling process easy on the homeowner!

We are in the middle of a condo kitchen and bath remodel; completing the deconstruction stage. Carmel had done a breezeway remodel one block from our former residence. We observed their professionalism and neatness, so much so we asked them to bid our condo remodel. They listened, they understood, and they offered good advice. The product suppliers they sent us to were of the same ilk, taking time to understand our project and wishes. Since the start of the project, their trade partners have been very neat (which is important in a condo setting) and skilled. So far the project is on schedule. We are a bit over our initial budget target but that is not Carmel's fault. Their initial proposal provided allowances for nice things, it's just, as we got looking, we liked even nicer tile, granite and wood flooring. Each time our Project Coordinators made sure we understood how the selections would impact our bottom line. In summary, Carmel's staff listens, understands, are helpful, patient, communicate well, and are neat; a pleasure to work with.

We chose Carmel Builders to work on our basement remodel after meeting Shelly and Louis at a couple of trade shows. The entire team kept us informed from the planning stages of the project to the actual construction. Whenever I had a question I always received a same day response. With any remodel comes some hiccups, but they handled these with ease. A faucet we selected was ordered and installed in the wrong finish - when we brought it to their attention, they immediately reordered the correct one and had the plumber switch them out. We had access to an online system that allowed us to keep up to date on the timeline, budget, and other selections at any time of day. We were so pleased with the final outcome of our project and would certainly choose to work with them again in the future.
