The Carrs

“Working with Sharon & Phil was a masterclass in craftsmanship and design. Our kitchen came with some tricky constraints and layout quirks, but they navigated every obstacle with patience, transparent communication, and thoughtful solutions. They delivered on every single promise without compromise. The finished space has exceeded anything we could have imagined, the level of precision and finish feels truly bespoke. It has elevated the entire atmosphere of our home. If you are looking for a team that pairs high-end execution with an effortless, reliable client experience, they are second to none.”

An Outstanding Team – Highly Recommended!

“I have had the pleasure of working with Sharon and Phil on two separate real estate projects. As their Realtor, I assisted them with the purchase of both properties and subsequently listed and sold them following their extensive renovations. Having spent over 20 years in residential real estate, I have seen my share of renovations, and I can say without hesitation that the quality of Phil and Sharon’s work is exceptional. What impressed me most, beyond the beautiful finished results, was their honesty, integrity, attention to detail, and tremendous work ethic. They take great pride in what they do, never cut corners, and are committed to doing things properly. Both properties were transformed through thoughtful planning, quality workmanship, and an obvious commitment to excellence. Just as importantly, Phil and Sharon are genuinely good people. They are trustworthy, dependable, and a pleasure to work with. These are qualities that matter enormously when you are entrusting someone with your home and your investment. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Phil and Sharon to anyone considering a renovation project. Their workmanship speaks for itself, and their integrity and commitment to their clients are equally impressive.”

How we work

Our step-by-step kitchen renovation process

Consultation

We come to your home for about an hour, walk the space with you and leave you with a realistic budget range. We meet with you for a free in-home consultation to review your kitchen ideas.

Design

Our designer works through layout, cabinetry, finishes and lighting before a single tool comes out. You approve the drawings and the material list before we start building.

Build

Our own crew works to a week-by-week schedule, cleans up at the end of every day, and books the inspections.

Handover

We walk the finished kitchen with you, close out the punch list, and hand over your final documentation.

Building on Vancouver Island

Durable materials built for coastal air

Salt air reaches your kitchen year-round on this coast. We pick rust-proof hardware, sealed cabinet boxes, and moisture-resistant finishes that last. We build sub-floors, cabinet toe-kicks, and plumbing runs that stand up to winter moisture. If your project moves a wall or a drain, we pull the building permit and book the inspections. An electrician pulls the electrical permit for any wiring work.

Structural wall removal and framing checks

We check if your wall supports weight before planning to take it down, because drywall hides the framing inside. We open a small hole in the drywall to look at the framing. If ceiling joists cross right over the top of the wall, it carries structural load. If the wall carries load, an engineer calculates the right beam size for the opening. They also design supporting posts and footings so the weight transfers safely to the foundation. On single-storey houses we can usually tuck a structural beam up into the ceiling space. That leaves you with a completely flat ceiling instead of a dropped beam. If you have a floor above or a wider opening, the beam needs to be thicker. In those cases, part of the beam sits below ceiling level. Our crew builds temporary support walls to carry the weight while we remove the old framing. We leave those supports in place until the new beam takes the load. We don't skip any of that. It is also the thing most likely to move your budget after demolition, so we get the engineering done during design.

Common questions

What Parksville homeowners ask us most.

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Parksville or Qualicum Beach?

Most full kitchen renovations we quote in the Parksville area land between $45,000 and $80,000, depending on cabinet quality, counter material and whether the layout changes. A cosmetic refresh starts around $15,000. Custom cabinetry, a moved wall or high-end appliances and stone push a kitchen past $80,000. We put a fixed written number on your kitchen once we have seen it.

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

A typical full kitchen renovation runs 4–8 weeks on site, plus 3–5 weeks of design and material lead time before we start installing. Custom cabinetry or structural work takes 10–12 weeks or more. We give you a week-by-week schedule, and you can hold us to it.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation?

If you are only replacing cabinets and counters where they already sit, no. Move a wall, a drain line or a circuit and yes, your kitchen needs one. We confirm which building office covers your address, prepare drawings, pull the building permit, and arrange inspections. An electrician pulls the electrical permit.

Are you insured, and who does the electrical and plumbing?

We carry $2M in liability insurance. An electrician or a plumber completes all wiring and drain work under permit and schedules the required inspections.
