Avoid this company like the plague. Hired them through mutual connection thinking it would be alright. Gave them a large deposit and said work had to be done by May. They came by the last week of April and gutted the basement and now I have no stairs, no basement and a 9 month pregnant wife and this guy wont answer then phone. read more

Karma Construction Group - Missing brick - General Contractors Near Me

See all

I have built multiple homes and hired numerous contractorsover the years for projects of all shapes and sizes. While construction never goes100% smoothly, there are baseline standards one can expect from any contractor. I received none from KCG. KCG is the WORST experience I've ever had, and there is not a close second. It took them a full year to complete a very simple project that should have taken 2 months tops, if even that. They routinely disappeared for months at a time with no work or contact whatsoever. I had to constantly chase them down for updates and inquire about when work would resume. They left supplies, including just straight garbage, in my backyard and on my driveway the entirety of the project. They asked for advanced payment 'for materials' and then months later claimed not having the materials as the excuse for not doing work. And this was for standard lumber, trim, and other materials that were not custom in any regard. Not sure what they spent the money on, but it seems doubtful that it was my project. Simple tasks like the install of plumbing for a single sink took months to complete even though it was only about 5 hours of actual contractor work. The only reason the work ultimately got done is because I planned to pursue legal action, but even at that point it still took 4 more months to finish. Had I not taken this action, I doubt the work would be done today even a full year after it started. Several of the workers he hired complained to me about not getting paid with one even asking if I could pay them directly instead, which, beside being incredibly unprofessional in and of itself, speaks volumes about the type of operation being run by KCG. My experience was horrific in every possible aspect of a construction project. The ultimate product was fine, but nothing special over what any general contractor could have done in far less time and certainly was not worth the headaches. If there was a negative star rating, that is what I would have given them here. Truly awful company. read more

Do not use this company for any construction needs! The owner, Jon, is dishonest. He does not pay his sub-contractors and lies to the homeowners about what is included in the contracts. He only wants to provide the cheapest of products even when the contract says they should be a mid quality of products. read more

We hired Karma Construction Group to do a range of external work on our home, and the process was so exhausting that I have been putting off writing this review for months. Do not hire Karma if you can avoid it. We hired Karma because they were competitively priced and seemed competent - they sold us on their digital tools used to manage the project, a website that would track all our invoices, build schedule, and selections. In reality this was never used, and instead we carried on a harried and unreliable series of text threads with our project manager over the ~9 months of working together. Specific issues we encountered; No work ever happened on schedule, there was no clarity or communication about what the schedule was, and we never received an update from the Karma team without asking for it. It felt like we were the project managers for this work, not the Karma team. Karma subcontractors would show up out of the blue on a given day, and we would only know they were coming if we had texted our project manager the night before. Everything about working with Karma is deeply disorganized. Invoices that did not match contracted amounts until we asked why. When we complained that our project manager was not communicating with us, the solution was to add another person from the Karma team to the text thread we had who then didn't communicate with us proactively or change any behaviors. We selected a door to be installed through the Karma website. This was then not ordered by Karma for weeks, Karma texted the wrong door listing to us (not using their website) to confirm the order, once corrected it took a month to arrive from the manufacturer, and when it was delivered (by Home Depot) it was the wrong door. This was then left on our patio for a week before someone could collect it, and we waited another month for the correct door to be delivered by the manufacturer. When we said this was taking a long time we were told the manufacturers were responsible for the delays, ignoring the delay between our selection to Karma placing the order. This took from May - October, for the smallest part of this project. Karma delivered building materials to our home and left them blocking a public sidewalk. We asked for them to be removed from public access. They stayed on the sidewalk for a week and a half without us seeing anyone from the Karma team despite being told multiple times someone would be over 'tomorrow'. Karma then decided these were the wrong materials and had someone collect them and reordered new materials. This took more than 4 weeks. Karma project managers were never visible on site - their subcontractors are wonderful, if we could hire them directly we would. They didn't want to schedule a final walk through to review the subcontractors work until prompted by us, we saw the project manager for one initial visit and again once to pick up materials that were left on the property. I do not understand what we paid the Karma team for. There are so many more issues with this small project that I won't detail out (front of house painted the wrong colors, paint chipping off repeatedly and subcontractors telling us this was because they hadn't primed the areas, subcontractors arriving without having been told by Karma what work was in the contract, a significant portion of the quoted price being for scaffolding that the team never ended up needing or using). Ultimately we had a really negative experience with the Karma team, the relationship broke down by the end of this relatively small project, and I feel like it's a social duty to warn people what you are getting into. They seem reasonably priced and the subcontractors seem great and do good work, but the Karma team themselves gave us a series of headaches. read more

Karma has been a nightmare. It has taken over a year for them to finish my simple project--deck installation & powder room installation. 3 project managers have quit, leaving our backyard a mess. Their craftmaship is poor at best. Run away from this company as fast as you can. Jordan never returns phone calls. Mariya never shows up when she's scheduled. Dennis attempts to solve problems but never follows through. I could only imagine that the positive reviews of this company are fraud. read more

Karma Construction just completed an involved reconstruction of support for my cantilevered kitchen addition of 20 years. This group did the job right, so much so that the inspector said it would hold up the whole house! I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with them - their professionalism, quality of workmanship, interaction with me while the job was in progress. They also relaid my extensive brick patio of 50 years. It looks fantastic. I was away for most of the month while they were working, and Craig sent me regular updates and pictures of the progress. I highly recommend this group! Marilyn Raymond read more

My HOA has searched for a reliable construction company to replace a flat-roof and repair a 3rd floor terrace on a DC townhome for months before hiring Karma. After calling Karma's references and getting reassuring assessments of their work, we decided to hire them. I'm glad I had the foresight to have them perform the terrace repairs first and based on the quality of that work decide if Karma should also replace the roof. Even though I have asked repeatedly that the project manager contact me directly (not my husband), he kept reaching out to him, resulting in disjointed communications, as he would sometimes text, call, or email. Not only was communication untimely, unclear, and brusque, but the quality of the work was poor as well. The project manager did not supervise construction, resulting in a crooked deck, damage to the door-frame and walls, but the project ran longer than scheduled, at a higher cost than planned, and with long gaps in communication. Overall a frustrating experience! I had to follow-up multiple time with the project manager, architect-engineer, office staff, and laborers to get a response on when they would complete the work. The only time when anyone associated with Karma would send a timely response was when asked about preferred method of payment. I would never hire them again and am considering a complaint with the Better Business Bureau against Karma. read more

Don't waste your time with this company. After setting up a consultation, the project manager, Sergei, was 45-minutes late to the meeting. During that consultation all he did was take photos around the condo, which I had already supplied. No measurements or additional information outside of what I had put in the initial request was documented. The estimate was promised to me three days later. It has now been 12 business days and I haven't heard a peep. I've followed up four times and continue to be promised an estimate that has not yet come through. This is a project I'm ready to start on immediately, and the lack of responsiveness and inability to hit deadlines is telling of the type of work this company provides. If they aren't able to show-up for consultations or deliver estimates on time does this mean my small condo kitchen renovation is going to take over a year? Don't waste your valuable time even meeting with them. read more

We have waited for over 30 days to receive our estimate for plans that had previously already been approved by the DC Historical Board. We were told it would only take around 10 days. We have reached out twice with no response. This does not bode well for their communication abilities. Furthermore, the man who arrived at our home for our consultation was scatterbrained and flustered. He did not seem confident in his abilities to handle the job at hand. We will be moving forward with a different company. read more

We retained Karma's services and worked with Craig to renovate our bathroom, kitchen, and build an additional level in our Adam's Morgan loft. We had just had a terrible experience with a previous contractor who left our renovation halfway through the project, and knew it would be challenging to find a new contractor willing to step in halfway and pick up a botched job. Karma stepped in and started on time, finished early, charged us exactly what they had estimated in the FFP, provided daily updates, gracefully dealt with difficult neighbors, and truly cared for our home. Karma is lucky to have Craig as a PM and I couldn't be happier with our results. read more

Karma gave us an estimate to repair and replace our copper metal roof for both the main and porch roof. We also went solar to our roof system, they redid all the joists and plywood. We ended up doing both, and the roof looks great! With a 7 year warranty and they are certified with roofing material manufactures . . The solar is going through permitting and cant wait to get it installed. We are going to use them for our composite deck and patio as well. Will update this review of anything changes! read more

I definitely recommend Karma. Kris and Jordan rock. My husband and I are very pleased with the results of their work. We did an extensive multilevel (6-month) renovation of our rowhouse in Glover Park this year. The work included remodeling 2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, building closets, plumbing, electric, installing crown molding, etc. Prior to signing a contract with Karma, we got about 3 other bids all of which which were ridiculously expensive for the same work. Karma provided the lowest bid (fitting perfectly with our budget), good references, plus our dog simply fell in love with Kris upon meeting him. We've been through a remodeling before, so we knew what to expect: huge stress, project delays, change orders, additional expenses, neighbor/city problems, unexpected issues, spousal fights, intrusion of personal space (we phased the renovation so we could stay in the house), allergies, etc. Despite the hurdles, drama and many challenges, Kris and Jordan were very understanding, always making us feel as if they got our backs. They were always refreshingly honest and upfront about issues, always willing to be accountable by fixing any mistake. I felt my home, valuables and dog were safe with these guys. When I compare the final cost of the renovation against the original bids I got from other vendors, we feel we got an excellent value for outstanding, high end results. We are very happy! read more

In brief: overpriced, mediocre work quality, and slow to respond. I hired Karma to install blinds, add a pan under my w/d unit, and change a "regular" closet into a nursery closet. My initial project manager was, in a word, terrible. He didn't listen, took poor notes, was frequently late or double booked. I'm honestly not sure how he's still on staff. After three "strikes" (not listening, screwing up the estimate, and mis-scheduling), I requested a new project manager, which helped things immensely, though they were still slow to respond to emails. The work itself went smoothly, though it was of mediocre quality. I'm attaching a photo of the sizable gap left in our fully "closed" drawer. Also, when inserting a pan underneath our washer/dryer combo, they unplugged the w/d unit and didn't plug it back in. It plugs from the back and the w/d lives snugly in a hall closet, so it proved quite the challenge to replug it myself. A half hour (and several curse words) later I again had a working w/d, but Karma lost a Yelp star for that one. Just sloppy. Lastly, I'm pretty sure they are on the high side of cost. They initially charged $500 for installing four blinds, which definitely seems too much. I talked them down some, but I don't think I got a good deal. The one plus is that so few people use them (thanks to reviews like this), that they can come over pretty quickly and work on your house. read more

Karma Construction Group - Example of mediocre work quality -- this is the top view of a drawer when "closed". Not even close to flush. - General Contractors Near Me

To say that I highly recommend Karma Home Designs would be an understatement. Karma truly is the best in DC (and in the metro area)! Do yourself a favor and hire Jordan and his team! I recently bought a home in Alexandria, VA using a 203k loan. Originally, I went with a contractor that was recommended by my realtor, and he BAILED on me!! My realtor's referral left me high and dry, in the middle of the loan process, which put the purchase of my home in jeopardy. Then, after thorough searching, I found Karma - and they came in and saved the day- saved my new home! They picked up right where the previous contractor left off, with the lender's paperwork, and began renovating shortly after my 203k loan closed. Jordan and his team were/are extremely professional, have great communication skills (flexible communication via email, phone, text, and in-person), and are extremely trustworthy. I even left on vacation (for 2 weeks) while they continued the renovation process - and the work continued without a misstep. The materials used and finishes were wonderful - better than I ever expected. Karma completed a full kitchen remodel (complete with new appliances, quartz counter-tops, and lighting), converted a hall closet into a laundry closet (the old washer/dryer were in the kitchen), installed beautiful wood flooring throughout the house, and installed a new stair case (to match the new flooring). All completed on time and within a reasonable budget! The renovation process went so smoothly. There were a few hiccups, but Jordan and his team were so prompt and attentive which made for a virtually stress-free process. I am not an easy customer - I have very high expectations. Karma, by far, exceeded my expectations. In a strange way I am grateful that the previous contractor quit... it ended up being good karma for me. Stephen Alexandria, VA read more

Just had a really positive experience with these guys. Jordan and Chris came through at the last minute for us. We are opening an office here in DC and we were in dire need of getting someone to come in and help out with some of the small stuff (putting up blinds, whiteboards, etc.) Chris and Jordan supplied us with a very capable handyman that got the job done. When in a pinch, these guys will come through (at least they did for us). read more

**Update** Upon speaking with Jordan at Karma Designs regarding their lack of showing up for my initial consultation, I was advised of some extenuating circumstances that prevented them from showing up. He stood by his availability to work on projects that I have in mind at a later date, and offered an up-front credit to boot when the time comes. I understand things do happen and much of my test of a company isn't so much just the work being completed, but in the face of an issue, them owning it and doing their very best to resolve it. Those are two things I felt Karma Home Designs has done. I look forward to working with them in the future. read more

I am very pleased to recommend Karma Home Designs. We worked with a contractor last fall to remove a few closets and had nothing but headaches. Karma helped us repair some of their blundered work, move the location of our office door, and replaced our carpeting with new floors. We worked directly with Kris and were very impressed with his commitment to the project. If there was ever something we weren't happy with (and we're particular), he would not stop until we were happy. For instance, we kept changing our minds with how many recess lights to install and where. They were understanding and made sure that we got exactly what we wanted. That says a lot. I'll also add that I was really impressed with Karma's staff. Their employees were very respectful and easy to work with. They also took extra care to clean the work area after they finished each day. I never felt uncomfortable with them their alone and overall was very impressed with their work. read more

I found karma online and I am so glad I did! I worked with Jordan, and I am so glad I did. From the beginning they were so helpful with my roofing needs. I was amazed at how quickly they got me A quote, which was much lower than my other bids. Such a pleasure to work with, often giving me advice on other aspects of my renovation and time and time again saving me dollars by coming up with creative alternatives. I love my finished product and would use them again on any other project I needed. read more

General contractors are a tricky thing. I've been burned in the past with low-ball estimates and overly-optimistic turnaround times for jobs. An investment property I own needed to have the kitchen and basement renovated to accommodate renters. A close friend recommended Karma Home designs and after seeing that the company won "runner up" in Best of DC for 2013 I gave them a call. Karma had a rep out to my house within 48 hours to look at my place and understand the job I needed. The quote was reasonable and they said they could get the job done in under 3 weeks. As the job progressed, I was impressed that the manager offered genuine recommendations and not backhand "upsells." I'm very please with Karma, will use them for my next job, and would happily recommend to friends and family. read more

I recently moved to the US and bought a home in Arlington to live with my mom. The estimate took a long time, and I know they said they were busy with other remodeling jobs, but we waited. The estimate came in the mid priced area. I am an interior designer and wanted someone I could work with, so having a company with a steong design background was important. We remodeled the entire 2nd floor, kitchen and bath. The permits were pulled over a month with the architect and we got to meet all of their vendors. I really like the several options they gave us. We used a mixed of Karma's vendors and online places. In short, the project turned out fantastic and we would call them back for future work. read more

I initially contacted Karma for a few projects: Paint and install custom front and storm door, back porch storm, custom fence, and shed. Firstly, everyone from the office - Peggy, Ekaterina, and Tatiana made sure that all of the administrative tasks were handled and made easy: Invoicing, payment, and scheduling. Even though it was a relatively small job, I connected with the owner Jordan, and managers Brad and Phil. They wanted to make sure that all the details were covered and my questions answered. Craig, my project manager, who's customer service is stellar and has excellent communication skills, checked in with me at all times (phone/text and in-person). He made regular site visits; he knows how to lead his team and paid attention to all the details to make sure that the project was a success! Nafta, Leo, Darwin, and Ron executed the work like pros. They exceeded my expectations. They were great at the worksite: knowledgable, focused, efficient, action-oriented, and skillful. When they left the worksite, they left it clean and orderly. Lastly, my experience with KHD across the organization was fantastic! They do what is agreed upon. They utilize technology at the office to make the client experience modern and efficient. They are professionals, accommodating, accountable, trustworthy, and, most importantly, did excellent work! My only regret is, after a nightmare experience with another contractor, I wish I contacted them sooner. I would highly recommend KHD, and I am looking forward to working with them all on my next project! read more

See Rob G's review below. Received a completely bogus estimate (more than double any other 15 estimates that I received). Although the estimate was clear with their line item costs, it unfortunately showed that they did not read the work that we were hoping to have done, as all line items were pretty much the opposite of what we had asked for. Maybe you'll have a good experience like others have, but for our small job, receiving a realistic quote proved to be a waste of time. read more

This review is for the estimate appointment only. It has been 16 days and we have not received our estimate. Three days ago we hired a different contractor. Prior to moving into our house in DC eight months ago a tree damaged our sun porch awning and screens and the wind took off some of siding. Karma came out to complete the estimate. The online scheduling was very easy and the staff member arrived about on time. We showed him the scope of work and he appeared to try to up sell on everything. Note that we made it clear that we had just completed heavy up on the electrical, whole house new floor refinishing, and installed a new furnace and AC--so we were not looking to spend more money than needed. He claimed that when the damaged awning is removed we would need to install new flashing all around the porch. (That did not come up in any other estimate. Our awning was removed this morning by the contractor we hired and there were no open spaces; the awning was attached to a railing and it was easily removed.) We had indicated that we merely wanted a new screen wrapped with the existing supports. The staff member tried to convince us that we should install a new pricey screen and window system, with new support beans to make it a three season porch. Then we had to listen to comments on how it would add value to our house. (If we had wanted a fancy sun room we would have hired a porch company. I was thinking: seriously...we are getting a sales pitch on our little job???!!!!) Regarding the damaged section of the siding, we told him that we had the two large pieces of siding that had blown off, revealing the damaged piece of wood underneath. We explained that we wanted the wood underneath patched or one slat replaced, and the siding reattached. The staff member first tried to convince us to redo all of the wood underneath and not replace with siding, to complement our brick house. We showed him the other porches on the house and how they all had the siding so we wanted it to match. So then he said we should replace all of the wood underneath and get all fresh siding installed. We were so perplexed. We even had the siding out to show him that it was in good condition and could be reattached. (If it did not cost so much to rent a huge ladder, we would have fixed it ourselves.) Every other person who looked at the scope of work suggested simply using the siding we had. At some point during the estimate he commented on other work that we should get done to our yard and foundation. More than once I had to redirect him back to our project and ask: Is there any other information you need to prepare an estimate? Then more talking. I would be very cautious in hiring this company and seek justification for proposed expansion beyond your requested scope of work. Make sure you receive multiples estimates. - - *** Follow-up note: After sending an email indicating that my estimate was overdue, I received it today. The estimate was three times (yes, 3!!) the one we accepted from the company we hired. read more

My husband and I have been Karma clients for about 1.5 years and have appreciated the personal attention and care that Jordan and his team show us. We started with what we thought were going to be some repairs to water damage but ended up needing a huge remodel due to shoddy work done before we bought the house. Jordan guided us through the process, communicating clearly and quickly at every step. The work is lasting well and the design is beautiful. We are getting ready to start another project and look forward to more beautiful results. Thanks, Jordan and Karma team! read more

Karma Designs did a wonderful job of replacing my flat top roof (hard to find roofers who even do this work) and for one of the lower bids. They were a pleasure to work with I recommend them without reservation. read more

Finding a contractor you can trust can be difficult. I learned a very expensive lesson prior to finding Karma Home Designs. The previous contractors (that we hired to do our bathroom & kitchen) told us they were running out of money (we paid half up front) after ripping up the entire kitchen and bathroom. We felt like we were being held hostage so they could jack up the price. That's when we found Karma Home Designs. Jordan took great care of us. From the beginning, they calmed us down (as we were kind of freaking with two rooms being unusable - this is the home we live in). They gave us great pricing and an option, which we took, to speed things up for a small premium. At the end of it, we have our new kitchen (we absolutely love it) and bathroom (with our 5 head shower!). We were so impressed that I created a Yelp account just to say thanks! Would definitely recommend. read more

I made an appointment on their website (and I appreciate the ability to schedule online - it was an initial draw to the company). The week of the appointment, I was about to call to confirm, when I received a confirmation email. Cool. The day before the home visit, I received an appointment reminder email. Cool. I took time off work. Waited. Waited. Waited. No one came. I considered calling them to ask where they were, as I was ticked off and full of the indignant righteousness of self, but in a moment worthy of any monk on any mountaintop anywhere (totally out of character, I might add) I decided not to call at all, as I wasn't interested in embarking on a lengthy relationship that starts with "oh sorry, we didn't realize we had an appointment/we forgot" - a missed initial consult for a master bath reno doesn't exactly bode well for a detail & deadline-driven project like home renovations. Why bother hearing excuses? My anger is a red balloon and I am letting it go. Hilariously, I received an email the next day thanking me for the consultation and my potential business. The entire online registration/appointment/email thing was clearly a ManagerBot that humans never check. My red balloon came back but I turned on a big fan and blew it away again. This was several months ago now, but I have never heard from them to follow-up or to apologize. I gave it some time to see if anything would happen, as they obviously have at least my email, but nothing. As I am now looking for a company for a kitchen and half-bath reno (thanks stupid exterior wall pipe in ridiculous cold snap), I decided to go ahead and post this, lest I return to their seductive ads (it does look like good work and aesthetically right up my alley) like texting an ex at 2am on a cold winter night. read more

We did not end up selecting Karma Home Designs due to one main reason. In their estimate, there's a line item called "Overhead and Profit". It is supposed to include cost of gas/fuel, parking tickets, vehicle depreciation, overhead for office staff. We sought estimates from other providers and none of those estimates included such a line item. When I mentioned to them that this line item is unreasonable and the burden of these costs should not be passed onto the customer, the response I got was "Are you expecting us to leave your work and move the car every two hours? It's how we do our estimate....". I felt the response was rude and no longer felt it was in my best interest to do business with them. read more

We highly recommend Karma. They did a major remodeling of our ground floor (kitchen, bathroom, floors, recessed lighting, HVAC, painting, wall demolition, etc.). The most impressive thing is how much they care about doing a good job. There were several cases in which they made recommendations that cost them (not us) money -- because they thought a certain approach would look better or be of higher quality. The outcome is terrific both in terms of appearance and the quality of the workmanship. No remodeling process is without headaches, but we are very pleased without our experience with Karma and our new home. read more

Karma Home Designs was great from beginning to end!! My project manager Hailee was so professional, informative and knowledgeable along with the rest of the staff and workers. I love my cabinets, tile and flooring! Everything comes together to create a true open concept kitchen opening up a previously dark space with a bright timeless design. I couldn't be happier with my kitchen and bath design and would recommend Karma to any one with home remodeling needs! Please contact me with any questions about my experience. read more

Top notch! Great experience working with Kris and Jordan; great communicators, attention to detail and beautiful workmanship!!!!!!

We used Kris and his team to remodel our Adams Morgan condo. They did our hardwood floors, tiling, and painting. With their help I was able to rent out the place in a week. Great, fast, affordable and very knowledgeable. I would recommend them and use them again. Thanks again! read more

Overall, these guys were great. They did a major remodel of our only real bathroom in our 1910 DC rowhouse. Also installed a light fixture that was way trickier than normal (not a modern connection but probably an adapted gas line), faced our crumbling concrete stairs and walkway with slate, and installed a tankless water heater. The outcomes were great. Yes, there were bumps along the way. But they always addressed my concerns and redid anything I asked them to. Do I wish communication between management and staff were better? Yes, but I don't really know that my concerns weren't relayed or if they were ignored. Regardless, anything that was wrong was remedied; I just wish work did not need to be redone. Jordan, Kris, and Nick were a pleasure to work with and their staff were respectful and hardworking. The bathroom is gorgeous. They never second guessed my design decisions unless I asked them to. I am sure they would have come up with a great design, but I had a very specific design in mind, and they were very respectful of that. They are also willing to take on any job, big or small. This seems to be a rare commodity in DC; from a big overhaul to a small handyman job, these guys will take it on gladly. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Karma Home Designs recently, and I have to say, that it was a great experience. They were extremely professional, dedicated and knowledgeable about every question that I had. Not to mention, I never had to worry about any lack of response. Any question I had would immediately be answered, even after what I would consider to be "office hours." We wanted to redo our kitchen in Northern Virginia and get some other bathroom and basement home renovations done and they have made this process incredibly easy for me. Everything was carefully explained to me and finished right when they said it would be done. I can't recommend them enough! read more

I have a house in Mt. Rainer, MD and I hired Karma Home Designs to do our bathroom remodel, exterior painting and new roof replacement. They had a great painting special and the bath was priced competitively. They were not available immediately, but I decided to wait the 4 weeks, and I was very happy I did. There was no rush, and they really took care of me. They are perfectionists which makes me happy, it can be overbearing at times when you just want the job done, but the bathroom is the best place in the house right now. I now know good work takes time. Make sure you make arrangements if you only have one bathroom while your bathroom is being renovated. Thanks again! read more

I've worked with Adam for many years in contracting and I couldn't be happier working with a person like him. As one contractor to another, I'm always asked to refer a good contractor and I will always refer Karma 1st due to their unique characteristics in designs. They do a great job finding out the particulars that customers want and making sure they are comfortable with their choices. read more

Sergei at Karma and his crew installed bathroom shut off valves (needed for rental property licence inspection), new vanity countertop and electrical/paint in my main closet. On the bathroom project was they were able to reuse my existing vanity, backsplash and hardware. Everything turned out solid, and Sergei provided good communication at every step. Will contact again for my next project. read more

Karma Home Designs is just like an STD -- they give the gift that goes on giving except the gift wasn't anything you wanted to begin with. Yet another followup to the botched job Karma did for me on my kitchen and other interior renovations. One of the closet doors they bought and installed literally self-destructed yesterday -- all of the wood louvres fell out in front of my eyes. This door had been improperly hung the first time Karma's unskilled workers installed it in what was supposed to have been its new track. It was not flush with the door frame. I had pointed this out and after some back and forth involving Jordan trying to tell me that was they way it was supposed to look, said incompetent workers came back and rehung it. It was level. What I discovered when it fell apart that they had cut the top piece of wood that held all the louvres in place in order to FORCE the door into the track instead of fixing the actual problem which has now revealed itself to be the track itself. read more
