I am pleased to be writing a recommendation for Carlton Homes; Ken Van Cleave. I have a residential home that serves six men with a diagnosis of mental retardation and autism. Our entire kitchen required renovation. All the cabinets, floors and appliances needed to be replaced along with designing a desk area that staff could utilize. Ken understood our needs; economically and in selecting materials for a home that is staff operated. The quality of work exceeded our expectations.

Along with our economic and functional needs, timing was a major concern. Ken had given us a timeline and even though we found unforeseen damage in the sub flooring and we asked for added work, Ken completed his work within the time frame. When you serve a challenging population, it was wonderful to have work crews who respected and worked within our parameters.

Since our first experience, we have used Ken again for a kitchen renovation. We were just as pleased with his work, and had the same quality experience.

I highly recommend Carlton Homes, as it was a pleasure working with both Ken and his entire crew.
