CAIRNSCRAFT DESIGN & REMODEL

"I had my kitchen remodeled recently. Charles and Marie from CairnsCraft Design & Remodel were there at every step of the way and very helpful. I was a bit concerned at first as I was expecting out of town guests in early August and I was told that the work would probably last till the end of July. But thanks to Marie’s excellent work, scheduling and coordination, it was completed earlier than I expected. Thank you, Marie and Charles."

Charles and Marie have completed several large projects for me, including the building of a carport extension from my garage, the remodel of a garage studio apt., complete kitchen remodel, installation of wood flooring, installation of french doors, and interior painting. I have been working with them for over 10 years and have always been impressed with the quality of their workmanship, their honesty and integrity, and their consistent level of hard work throughout a project. In the later years I did miss Charles' hands on involvement with the projects, but he and Marie have always hired good workers to support them as their business grew, and have taken full responsibility for the outcome of any project. They provide a top quality experience, will guarantee your satisfaction, and are completely trustworthy to be in your home when you are not. They deserve all the success that has come their way!"

Charles and Marie Cairns of CairnsCraft Design and Remodeling was referred to me by a client who had their kitchen remodeled. They were very pleased and satisfied with the results so I met Charles and Marie to discuss the remodeling of my master bathroom. I found Marie to be an excellent designer. She took the colors from my master bedroom to help me plan the color scheme for my master bathroom. I wanted the bathroom to follow ADA requirements, and Marie is very knowledgeable in this area. Marie even picked me up at my home to pick out the bathroom tiles and to pick out my vanity top. She is very detail oriented and kept the job on schedule and within my budget. Charles and Marie are very easy to work with and we communicated very well. At the end of each work day, the job site was cleaned up thoroughly. They are a great team to work with and I look forward for them to remodel my other bathroom. Chiyoko Masumoto"

Marie and Charles are very well informed and responsive. I was especially concerned about aging in place design. They helped me from conception to completion, keeping me informed, following through on promises, and patiently adjusting as my visions required. Their workers were well mannered, prompt, and professional. I was thrilled with the results and would use them again.

Marie, Charles, their staff and the subcontractors they employ are, without exception, reliable, skilled and communicative. From the moment we made their acquaintance, my husband and I were impressed with their professionalism and personal touch. Marie seems to work 24 hours, a day and is both the designer and the project manager. Marie was at the house 6 days/week supervising the sub-contractors and keeping everyone on schedule. They finished our extensive living area, kitchen and 2 bathroom gut and remodel in 6-7 weeks from demolition to open house ready, despite unexpected issues. We were eager to have a party for our son's graduation in late June and everything was done! CairnsCraft is the opposite of what you expect from contractors. They are transparent, hard-working, reliable, timely, communicative, and generous with their time and energy. They treated us like family."

Performed a living room/kitchen and master bath remodel. Marie and Charles did an excellent job, and provided solutions when there were challenges with our older home. They have good subs who they manage well and have very high standards for workmanship. They are mindful of minimizing disruptions. They are business minded, but fair and have integrity.

The bathroom/laundry room remodel was our second project with Cairns Craft and once again we were completely satisfied with the entire process. The job involved moving walls, plumbing, and electrical which involved coordinating and scheduling numerous sub-contractors. Thanks to their attention to detail and meticulous planning the scheduling went off without a hitch and the job was finished ahead of schedule. We will certainly use CarinsCraft for any future construction projects we have.

"We are so happy with our remodel and feel very lucky having worked with Charles and Marie! We heard nightmare stories from friends and co-workers about their remodels using other contractors - such as delay after delay which cost them money, poor quality and workmanship, poor communication, taking on too many projects at one time, and unmeasurable frustrations - we were very careful about selecting contractors when it was our turn. Friends of ours selected Charles and Marie for their remodel and we were so impressed hearing about their experience working with CairnsCraft that other friends in our group used them also. After 3 friends used them and all the experiences we heard were positive, we knew we had to use them and did not bother looking anywhere else. The best recommendation is referrals - and we have since referred several friends (without hesitation) to Marie and Charles. They are true professionals. Our remodel was extensive - to the point where we had to move out for 3 months. They finished on time and the quality of the work was excellent! They had subs for their subs in the event one could not make it. Issues were bound to come up, and some did, but they handled these and worked with us for a good outcome. They were very particular with quality and cleanliness and make a point of keeping the job site clean and protecting our belongings and property. One word of advice, to keep everything on time, YOU as the client will need to respond quickly when they are requesting input. This was a little difficult as my husband and I both work a lot, but we traded off, back and forth, and worked with Marie to keep things moving. We recommend CairnsCraft and would definitely use them again!"

Great. The kitchen remodel was so good that I hired Marie and Charles for my master bath. Marie is great to work with, very prompt. We did all of the work long distance and it worked out really well. Marie always sent lots of pictures and videos during the process. I am extremely pleased with the results of both the kitchen and bath. In both cases they ran into problems after demolition with "surprises" in the walls. Maris was good at finding solutions and it was always resolved to my satisfaction. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

We recently hired Cairns Craft Design and Remodel to remodel three bathrooms in our home. So far, two of the three bathrooms have been completed, and we are thrilled with the outcome. Marie and Luz did a great job with the design - they listened carefully to our preferences and helped us to narrow the options. Shopping with them for materials was streamlined and efficient, and we love the final choices we made. The construction process has also gone very smoothly. Charles and Marie manage their excellent team of subcontractors closely. The work quality is excellent, and our house is left clean at the end of each day. The different subcontractors are scheduled such that there is always work progressing, frequently ahead of schedule. Charles and Marie keep us updated at all times on the status of the project and respond quickly to any questions. We would definitely hire Cairns Craft again and are excited to see the final completed bathroom soon! Update: Our master bath has now been completed, and we are so happy with the outcome! Charles and Marie continued to be wonderful contractors, and worked closely with us to finish every final detail.

"From the first meeting to our last, Charles and Marie never ceased to amaze me. Their expertise and vast knowledge and great suggestions were invaluable throughout the remodel. I do want to give a shoutout to Marie, this lady works hard and really cares. She not only maintains the schedule, she will come to prep before the crew comes, and will then clean up after. I can’t say enough about the great experience we had with Cairns Craft, they were wonderful to work with. Very thorough, attention to details, and stayed on budget. We are in love with our master bath remodel and so appreciative to Charles and Marie for such great quality work. Our remodel included a complete gut of old bathroom. A new rimless glass shower (with a hidden drain), a new freestanding modern tub with a floor mounted fill faucet. Replaced a two sink 80” vanity with a tall cupboard on the end with a long 100+” double sink custom made vanity. A soffit was added above sinks to fill in where tall cupboard was, and now to frame the large mirror. Electrical was added for three sconces in mirror, and three new recessed lights. Most of our plumbing was moved for the new design and all went smoothly. We had two walls tiled from floor to ceiling, and a wainscoting throughout on other walls. It was a pleasure to work with two ultimate professionals on our project." Thank you so much for your support!

After interviewing several contractors, I am so glad that I chose CairnsCraft. Working with Marie, Charles, their design team, and all their subcontractors has been a real pleasure. With Marie as the head of the “team,” my 1980 condo was completely transformed into a beautiful and modern home. Those that saw my condo before and after are amazed at the transformation, and their reaction is always the same: "it’s beautiful!” My remodel included lovely new wood floors, a brand new kitchen with custom cabinets, a spa bathroom, new closet doors, many design touches, and great lighting. And my extensive remodel was done in record time, with no delays, all due to the fact that Marie is a tireless and professional worker. I really appreciate the fact that Marie made sure that my condo was always clean and organized since I stayed in the condo during the remodel. Marie came to my condo every day to inspect the work and kept me informed and up to date on the progress. Marie loves what she does, and it shows. Thank you Marie and CairnsCraft.

I was surprised how quickly and easily the process went. CairnsCraft Design & Remodel really helped us so much, from the beginning plans through the finishing touches. They're great! They did a good job cleaning up, telling us the updates, and helping us understand our choices.

We were worried about the scope of the projects, but thanks to Marie and CairnsCraft Design & Remodel, we flew through the process at record speed and are very satisfied with the job. They do great work, from project coordination to workmanship to design.

OUR KITCHEN LOOKS AHHHHHMAZING! CairnsCraft Design & Remodel is professional, on-time, within budget, easy to work wtih, lots of great connections within the industry, experience and good recommendations. I appreciated their advice. We loved loved LOVED all their work, from design to remodel to contracting to construction projects. They are a full-service, wonderful way to upgrade your home! I would strongly recommend them to anyone.

It went very well. They were very prompt and patient when we kept making changes to our plans. They gave us good advice about how to maximize our living space and their work was very skillfully completed.

Charles and Marie were very thorough every step of the way. When Charles had the estimate for the first part of the project (the enclosure), he delivered it in person and went over it in detail. He responded to all questions in person or via email quickly, and paid attention to how the planning/permitting process was going to help stay on top of when the work would be able to be done. We had some back and forth discussions about the second part of the project (the new loft), but they worked with us to figure out how to keep the cost within our scope, which we were grateful for since we preferred to work with the same company for both projects. The projects, as I assume most remodels do, ran into a few snags along the way, with some additional research needing to be done once a few assumptions from the plans turned out not to hold water after work started, but Charles worked with the firm who had drawn up the plans and the city inspectors to determine the extent of the issue and whether additional work was needed (thankfully not). All along the way, they kept us informed about the process and were quick to schedule the appropriate inspections (and follow-up inspections when different inspectors kept requesting different things) and follow through on their requirements. They and all of their subcontractors who worked on the project were friendly, professional, conversational without becoming distracted from work, and some definitely went above and beyond (e.g., painting beyond where the work was actually done just to make it look nicer, going well beyond our own level of fastidious in making sure paint colors matched other nearby areas of the house, cleaning everything that was even slightly affected by dust from the work, etc). We will not hesitate to work with them again the next time we are planning to make any changes in our home.

I found them on Angie's List. Marie and Charles do it all and do it well! They listened very well and understood my goals. They offered several designs and gave the most detailed estimate. They worked with me on every aspect from creating a design to selecting the accessories for a brand new bathroom. They were on site or checked in every day, sometimes working alongside their workers. They answered calls promptly and kept me informed of progress. Their workers are very professional and cleaned up every day before they left. So impressed was I that in the midst of the bathroom construction, I added a second major job of central air and heat. I am a very happy customer.

I was actually very happy with them. They sent over someone who was working as an interior designer to give me a quote. She came and took very precise measurements. The quote was very professional. On the quote, they had mentioned what they were going to do, what their liabilities and responsibilities were, what my liabilities and responsibilities were, what were the things that I was required to purchase and what were the materials that they would provide. They probably would have been the one that I would have gone with, but I didn’t use them because my whole plan had changed. I would use them in the future if necessary.

Marie and Charles Cairns did an absolutely wonderful job. They quickly responded to my first call. They gave me a free estimate and provided several design options. I had already developed a pretty good sense of what I wanted but Marie and Charles worked well with me to optimize space and accessibility. I am only 3 feet tall and do most tasks from my wheelchair. I wanted to have a kitchen that worked well for me but could also be used by average height individuals. They came up with innovative ideas that have not only allowed me to cook entirely on my own but also created a beautiful space in my home. Special attention was made to maintain the feel and design of the kitchen representative of the 1920s. All at a price that was very reasonable and well below other estimates that I had previously obtained. Marie did an excellent job to ensure I was getting my supplies and appliances at the cheapest possible price. They began the job quickly and relatively on time. They were very conscious about the fact that they were in my home for approximately 3 weeks and did everything they could to minimize the intrusion and disruption that a complete kitchen remodel can impose. They responded quickly to concerns and suggestions. They keep me up to date on the progress and included me in all the decision making. The kitchen is absolutely beautiful. The professionalism of the design exceeded my expectations. This kitchen has allowed me complete independence as well as a safe workspace to cook for friends and family. I would 100% absolutely recommend Cairns Craft for your next remodeling job.
