My wife and I would like to express our satisfaction with Kerr Karpentry. We had a large portion of our house renovated by Curtis and his team. This included a brand new kitchen, new flooring, the demolition of walls, and a complete painting project.
The entire project took place while we continued to live in the house, with pets and kids, but Curtis took a task we thought would be a nightmare and made it almost fun. We laughed with him every morning as he tried to get us out so he could get on with the job.
The most amazing thing was the selection of sub-contractors Curtis put in charge of the various jobs. The jewel of the project was the kitchen contractor: Sliver Kitchens was fantastic! He created the kitchen of our dreams. We cannot say enough about his work.
Curtis priced the job and finished the job on time and within the promised budget. He helped source out the materials and worked to get us discounts. If you want a great job, good valve, great people who care for you and your work, we would definitely recommend Kerr Karpentry and their team.

We first started working with Kerr Karpentry in 2009 when we decided to add a three-season porch and update the siding of our house. Curtis was very instrumental in helping us determine the scope of our project according to our needs and budget. He keeps the renovations on track by doing follow-ups and co-ordinating the work of subcontractors, if required. We then worked with Kerr Karpentry again in 2011 to renovate our main bathroom and 2014 to modernize our kitchen and improve the flow of the first floor.
It's a pleasure to work with James, Jamie, and Paul. They are conscientious workers and work well as a team. We recommend Kerr Karpentry without hestiation for your next renovation project.

I enlisted you as my contractor to do my repairs and renovations because of the work you did at my Mother’s house in 2000. You’d also did work at my sister Nancy’s place and my brother Peter’s place. Your workmanship preceded you. The windows and doors you ordered for me are awesome with excellent quality. The installation was prefect. I am thankful for your patience in dealing with the Condo Association.
You installers are very professional and have great sense of humor, which helps when your house is a mess. I will be calling you in the future to do more repairs at my house.
The other trades people you sent to me, were also very professional and did excellent work.
I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Thank you so much for all you help.
Thanks again.

I wanted to send a little note to make sure you knew how pleased we are with the work that you've done for us on our home renovations. The Kerr Crew was very professional and accommodating to us and available the whole way through. The business relationships you have with your sub-contractors is clear in their attention to our requirements and the pride they have in their work. As you know we used your subs for most of our renos and couldn’t be happier, from the electrical to plumbing, to furnace, A/C and duct work to drywall and painting, everyone was very professional and skilled at their trade.
Thanks again for a job well done, we look forward to the next time we have the opportunity to use your services again.
Take care,

Making the decision to put an addition unto our home was most difficult, but once the decision was made, and the design in place, an even more difficult decision had to be made. That was-- the selection of a contractor. With all the horror stories concerning renovations on reality TV and Marketplace, a wrong choice could be costly and potentially a disaster. Fortunately, we happened to have friends who were very pleased with the work done by the contractor they had chosen some years past and we also thought that work was excellent. That is how we happened to ask Kerr Karpentry Ltd., in other words, Curtis Kerr, to bid on or renovation. The rest unfolded as an experience more than a job, because Curtis and his team worked with us as part of their team, and, having to have a constant supply of M&Ms and homemade cookies was a small price for the entertainment mixed with true professionalism. Our finished product, an addition plus renovations, transformed our home beyond our expectations. Since then there have been several tours through with friends and with strangers, always with numerous comments being made on the detail of the finished work. Curtis’ network reaches well beyond the actual carpentry team, extending into the other trades and the retail sector. So, when you choose Curtis, you are choosing a far-reaching network of highly skilled professionals and that is the reality.
Thanks again."

"I want to express my appreciation for the renovation projects you
have completed at our home. You have always started projects when
you promised; billed us what you have quoted; listened to my wishes;
and easily handled the challenges my hundred year old home has had to
offer. Your attention to detail and professionalism has been excellent.
Since the first project you worked on we have not considered hiring
any other contractor. In fact we have hired you to correct the
mistakes of past contractors.
All of your sub-trades have been equally as competent and pleasant to
work with.
I look forward to the next major project - our attic renovation.
Thanks again."

"We like to thank you once again for a job well done. Our kitchen looks fabulous.
After 25 years our kitchen was looking tired and needed an up date. The work you
did for us a few years ago in the dining room and family room still looks great
and the entire renovation experience at that time went smoothly and was very professional.
When our kitchen needed a major overhaul we immediately thought of you to take on
the challenge. As you know, it was not a straight forward project as much of the
existing electrical and plumbing had to be changed, a powder room had to be located
and a couple of bay windows had to be installed involving exterior brick work etc.
The final result is amazing. Your workers were totally professional and pleasant
to be around. Their workmanship is exemplary and we would not hesitate to recommend
your firm to others.
Thanks again."

"First, we would like to thank you, James, Kyle and Neil for the beautiful job
you did on our kitchen and back room. It looks spectacular!! We are so happy
with the work we can hardly believe it is our house! We particularly want to
thank James – he is a fabulous carpenter and a really great guy! We know
that without all the great work done underneath the finishing would not look
so good.
Thanks for getting everything done in such a professional manner – you
always followed through on everything and Corinna and I really appreciated
that! We have already recommended you to some of our friends!
Thanks Guys"
