Real Reviews from Local Homeowners
“3 for 3 with Carini Home Services. They installed our HVAC system on 2008 and has been out twice for service calls. Both service calls were scheduled quickly and easily with the service performed with success. The technicians were knowledgeable, friendly and got the job done. Thanks for the heat just before a surprise rain!”
–Kymberli Clement
“Jake Hukee was awesome! Super professional and took the time to explain every step of the process. What really stood out was how he showed me a live camera view of my sewer line—something I’ve never had a plumber do before. It made the whole situation so much clearer and gave me real peace of mind. Highly recommend Jake if you want someone who’s honest, thorough, and takes the time to walk you through everything“
