" Paul, Jillian and the entire team at Carmana were great to work with. They were all professional and responsive - the work was well coordinated and impeccable. The renovation of our bathroom - all existing was removed and replaced. All contractors (ie glass and counter measuring and installing, etc.) were on time, respectful and a pleasure to work with. All questions were answered quickly - can't say enough good things. "

" complete kitchen and bathroom renovations as well as custom fireplace/tv wall. I couldn’t be happier with the finished results. Paul and his team were great to work with, from design to completion. They were friendly, punctual, professional, and the finished rooms exceeded my expectations. I am looking forward to our next project! "

" A huge thank you to Carmana for a kitchen reno that could not have gone smoother.We moved to an older home and the kitchen required a total overhaul.Paul and Jillian were able to advise us every step of the way from planning to completion.This included a tear out of all cabinets,installing underheated tile flooring..pot lights in ceiling..converting to gas and not to mention all the electrical and plumbing issues that arise in an older home .
We were able to stay safe and comfortable behind our plastic wall with a Zipper door and every days work ended with a good clean up.The work was done quickly..on time and within budget.Paul made valuable suggestions along the way and answered all of our questions with admirable tolerance!We also used Paul and his team to deal with work needed in the dining/living room and again with good results.
Jillian's input by being available to shop for tiles etc.with us made a great difference.We relied on her feedback before making many decisions.Both Paul and Jillian are prompt to answer texts and calls.
All of the crew who worked here were pleasant and easy to be around.They were proficient and knowledgeable and Paul was here frequently to check on progress.
One expects a few bumps along the road of renovation..but we believe that having Paul with his particular combination of professionalism and communication skills has made our journey mainly a stress free one.
We highly recommend Carmana and have done so already..we look forward to working with them again.

" We hired Carmana to conduct renovations to our 20-year old house, specifically the kitchen and both the ensuite and main bathrooms. Carmana principals Paul and Jillian did all the design work for the main bathroom based on our wants and needs, and they helped select materials and finishes for the whole project, confirming our own ideas and finishing choices, but also steering us gently towards what would look and function best if we were "not quite there yet". The decision-making took a matter of a few short hours. Procurement of a few items and the construction itself were delayed briefly due to the Covid-19 situation, but everything ran substantially to schedule. The project was completed within what we thought was a very reasonable time considering its complexity. The quality of the finished work is outstanding, and we could not be happier with the results! We feel we received excellent value for the money we spent, though the project was not inexpensive. The house looks and feels up-to-date, and it all works beautifully. Importantly, we found Paul and his crews and subcontractors not only technically excellent but also eminently easy to deal with, honest, straightforward, reliable, tidy, and clean. We never had anything to clean up after the crew had finished their day's work. They always showed up on time, when they said they would, and went about their work as quietly as possible. They were also extremely understanding of--and always accommodated--our need for predictability, so that we could run our lives with minimal negative impact from the construction. In summary, we have absolutely no qualms about giving our highest possible recommendation to Carmana for projects of this kind and scope. Congratulations Carmana on a project so very, very well done!
