“It is with great enthusiasm that we recommend Carl Ray as a general contractor. We hired Carl to remodel our kitchen, and what he delivered went far beyond our expectations—not only in craftsmanship and reliability but in artistic vision.

From the start, Carl approached the project with an eye for transformation. Rather than simply updating what was already there, he envisioned how the space could be opened up to feel entirely new. He didn’t just renovate our kitchen—he reimagined it. The most stunning example of this is the ceiling: using reclaimed redwood and his master carpenter skills, Carl crafted an intricate pattern that turned the ceiling into a breathtaking focal point. It's truly a work of art and one that continues to draw admiration from every guest who enters our home.

Carl was consistently professional, communicative, and dependable. His crew mirrored his high standards—respectful, hardworking, and clearly motivated by the pride Carl brings to every detail. He made the process easy, even enjoyable, which is something we never thought we'd say about a home renovation.

But what truly sets Carl apart is his willingness to take creative risks. He brings an aesthetic sensibility that elevates functional work into inspired design. He saw potential in our space that we hadn’t imagined and brought it to life with boldness, care, and exceptional skill.

If you're looking for a contractor who is not only skilled and trustworthy but also an artist at heart, Carl Ray is the one. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him.”

Sincerely,

Paula and Doug Byrd
