DeCarli customers appreciate our ability to deliver a complete solution, which often starts with design.
When you are deciding on interior design and/or custom kitchens & bathrooms, DeCarli can work with any designer you choose and execute on the vision that you have developed with them. We do, however, have top-notch, great value in-house design expertise. When you choose DeCarli for both design and build, there is never a disconnect between the two. We are able to offer you an incredible variety of bespoke storage ideas and custom finishes to complete your space.
Once we have reached the design phase of your build project in our 7-step process, it’s time to work out all the details. Our team of BCIN-Certified designers and in-house finishing experts will work with you to create construction plans and finishing schedules using 3D modeling and interior rendering software.
Our team will gather samples and product-specific information to help you sort through the many options. We will present you with curated choices based on your specific aesthetic tastes and budget, making the design process as easy as possible. After all, part of our job is to simplify things for you.

Screen Your Builder
Different builders have different strong points. While some are great at slapping houses together quickly or tackling a simple living room extension, others have the aesthetic sense and are particular enough to excel at bringing a whole home renovation together in the manner you desire.
Here are a few points to help you find the right builder for the job:
Check References
Reading reviews about a builder and checking their references is a step you cannot miss. If you can, talk on the phone with references and find out if the work was carried out recently. Have a look at photos, or go have a look at the house or cottage if that is practical. In the same vein, make sure that reviews are current and believable.

Find Out About Project Management Processes
When a builder has clear project management processes, they are likely to be organized in the way they carry out work. Some processes to look for are:
- Procurement Processes
It can take weeks or months to obtain certain materials, as we all learned during the pandemic. How does your builder handle procurement in order to keep the build going without delay? Where are the materials stored in the interim?
- Dedication
Once they begin the build, will your building team show up every day, or travel to other jobs while they wait for materials to arrive or trades to become available?
- Communication
What procedure does your builder use to communicate their progress on the job? Will you have to check in with them, or vice versa? Can you expect walkthroughs and photo/video updates, or simply a phone call now and then? How often can you expect a progress report, and will your builder consult with you when a decision is needed, or make the call themselves?
- Licensing
Builders don’t require any licensing unless they build new homes, in which case they need to be Tarion-certified. While this is not a requirement for whole home renovations, Tarion certification does indicate a certain level of capability.
