I have used Carlton Building Services for several office buildout projects when I get new tenants. They have always been on time, did great work, and cleaned up each evening without disturbing other tenants.

“We couldn’t be happier with the work done by Carlton Building Service. They handled our FELYNN restaurant renovation with incredible professionalism, skill, and efficiency. The entire process was seamless—from start to finish, they were reliable, detail-oriented, and always kept the project moving on schedule.

JP and his team’s craftsmanship shows in every part of the space, and our guests immediately notice the quality of the work. What impressed me most was how easy they were to communicate with and how smoothly they coordinated everything. Thanks to Jennifer! Woo Hoo! Renovations can be stressful, but they made it such a positive experience.

If you’re looking for a contractor who delivers outstanding results and truly cares about their work, I highly recommend Carlton Building Service.

Carlton has worked on several commercial projects of mine - an office space expansion, a complete gut and rebuild of a unit, and other projects. They are my go-to contractor now for all of my work.

Not only are they a trustworthy contractor who does great work (and cleans up during and after the project!!) - something very hard to find - they are great people and a trusted advisor, as well as a capable and honest partner.

I highly recommend them for any commercial building project.

JP Carlton completed an office rebuild for us. Our space is about 15,000 square feet. I’ve worked through 5 of these projects and this by far was the easiest with the best results. The communication was very good, so I knew what to expect which allowed me to communicate with our employees that were impacted by the buildout. The workmanship was first class, the contracting supervisor was easy to work with and thoughtful. Our corporate architect was impressed with the quality of work and how smoothly the final walk through went.
