"Living through a renovation is an emotional experience. Working with someone who can take your ideas and transform them into something you could never have dreamed possible is mind blowing. Having trades in your house for weeks on end can be disruptive. The Curtain Call has professional trades who are respectful and friendly as well as very skilled project managers who stick to timelines and get the project done as quickly as possible. We enjoyed having them around and watching the incredible attention to detail. Our reno was a breeze! We love our kitchen and couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Thanks Joan!!!"

"Joan and her team are extremely professional and a complete joy to work with. I have had the benefit of working with The Curtain Call as both a vendor and client. As a vendor, there is nothing more fulfilling than working with a designer or builder who fully understands the process. We build custom wine cellars, and much more is involved than lovely woodwork. There is climate control, electrical, plumbing, insulation, vapor barrier...all to provide a perfect environment for aging wines. I advise Joan on what is needed and before I know it, its completed and ready for us to do a perfect install. Because of this, I became a client. Not only are they skilled builders and renovators, but their design skills are pure magic. I LOVE my home and new, custom sofa. Thank you so very much, Team Curtain Call!"

"Joan Walker is an exceptional interior designer. After an overview of my upholstering needs in a timely manner. Joan returned a few days later with fabric suggestions. Her first choice for each chair was perfect!! I cannot speak highly enough of her talents, her professionalism and quality work. She is THE BEST!!"

"Our relationship with Curtain Call (Joan) started in 2002 when we purchased a home in South Surrey. We checked out a few Interior Designers & selected Joan due to her years of experience, expertise and as her proposals met our needs. Our initial projects which covered draperies, kitchen reno, MB ensemble & painting were all completed to our satisfaction. In 2010 we downsized to a Townhouse & had no hesitation calling on Joan for decorating ideas prior to moving in Renovations included flooring, new Island in Kitchen as well as replacing of counter tops, backsplash and painting of entire Townhouse. In 2019 we again called on Joan for a major project which resulted in the total gutting and re-design of our MB ensuite. The various stages of this project were all completed within the time frame and budget originally established. We were totally satisfied & have received many compliments from Family & Friends who described it as a "SPA". Shortly thereafter Curtain Call co-ordinated minor renovations to our 2nd Bedroom ensuite. Very recently Joan co-ordinated the design, production & installation of Draperies in all 3 Bedrooms. In all our projects Joan not only provided decorating/design ideas but provided full costing along with inspections & overall management. The trades people assigned to our projects were all very accommodating, knowledgeable and kept workplace clean. Work overall was done to our satisfaction and with Joan's close supervision any defects noted, at the time or later, were always quickly fixed. We have also had many interactions with Michelle, from Curtain Call, who, like Joan, goes "beyond her call of duty" to accommodate us. Overall, we are very pleased with our experiences with Joan/Curtain Call & in fact have and continue to recommend Joan for any projects large or small."

"To the terrific team at The Curtain Call!!!! What a journey this has been so far! This all started one year ago when I needed help with window coverings. Joan came to my home, took measurements, and provided me with a wide assortment of fabrics to select from. Best of all, guidance and advice too. My windows look amazing now! From there, Joan arranged mouldings around door frames, mirrors in bathrooms, and a new garage door opener that flips to battery mode in the event of a power loss. From there, a bidet/toilet (washlet). The tradespeople who came to my home (plumber, electrician, carpenter, and window covering installer) were nothing short of perfect. Arrived on time, polite, professional, and left zero mess when they left, taking all the garbage with them. Joan also has an amazing office and design team, who are there to answer questions and also knowledgeable, friendly, and polite! This has been an amazing journey so far! Particularly, in this time of uncertainty in the world. My home is truly a beautiful sanctuary, a heartfelt thank you to Joan and her phenomenal team!!!! Thank you one and all so much for everything that you have done! I look forward to the continuation of our journey!!"

"Three years ago, we decided to do a renovation to the house which we were moving into in South Surrey. A close friend of mine highly recommended Joan Walker and The Curtain Call. At first we were only considering painting and wanted some colour advice. But the little reno became a big one – we replaced the flooring, moved a fireplace, painted the whole interior, updated the kitchen, did tilework in the kitchen, master bathroom and laundry room, and more. Joan acted as our general contractor as well as the designer for the project. When the major work was completed, The Curtain Call made some stunning window treatments for several rooms, which added the “wow” factor to our home. Working with Joan was a real pleasure. She took care of all the details, while consulting us about our preferences. Living through a renovation can be stressful, but Joan and her team made it a positive experience and the end result is fabulous. We really enjoy our home – the decorating really suits us and our needs. Joan knew our budget and worked hard to give us a beautiful home, within a very reasonable timeline. In fact, we were so happy with our first reno that we called Joan recently and began phase two a few weeks ago. We are now finishing the basement and working on the outside. Once again, Joan has been in charge of the project, from the creativity to the logistics, and we are thrilled with the results. Joan is a true professional who stands behind her work and I have recommended her and The Curtain Call to friends."

"I hired Joan and her team to design and source a complete reno of the main bathroom after I watched her meticulous overseeing of the neighbour's whole house update. We had a budget and Joan's plan came in right on. She listened to what we were looking for and suggested design concepts we had not thought of. I thought the fee was reasonable. We were supplied with all we needed to do the work ourselves without the hassle of shopping. The design came with full renderings, specs, samples all professionally laid out. We would definitely recommend The Curtain Call and would use their services again."

"The Curtain Call is wonderful to work with. The designer is knowledgable, dynamic and thoroughly professional. The whole team communicated very well with me throughout the design/install process. The biggest project (there were several) was a complete re-design and rebuild of a gas fireplace installation. I wouldn’t have known where to start if I had tried to undertake this project on my own. The designer found the mantle builders, the decorative tile, and even took me to the fireplace factory to see the inserts on display. All of the trades people who came in to do the work were on time, pleasant and took pride in their work. The work was done in different phases, and all parts came in at the quoted price. I will definitely employ The Curtain Call again for my next improvement project."

"We found ourselves in need of remodelling our old bathroom with a tub and sliding glass door to a walk in shower and we needed it quickly. I called The Curtain Call and the owner Joan was quick to come to our rescue. She came over immediately and we sat down to discuss what can be done, how quickly it can be done and importantly, how much will it cost. I was impressed with Joan’s knowledge and her vision of what the bathroom will be like when finished and what we can do within our budget. She had a small space in which to work and it would have to be a custom build. She provided her expertise in tile and shower heads and what she felt we would need to make this shower accessible for everyone and still give it style. She gave me a timeline, what trades will come in, how long they will be there and what they will be doing while they are there. Everything Joan said would happen, did. I was very impressed she runs a well oiled machine. Her trades arrived when they were scheduled, worked hard all day, were very respectful and cleaned up before they left. Joan was in constant contact with me throughout the project and her organization skills and trades were exceptional. The walk in shower turned out spectacular and ON BUDGET! Within 10 days we were using the shower and have been very happy with the outcome. Everyone who sees it is impressed. I will tell you that rain shower is divine. We are one happy family. Thank you Curtain Call! "

"I am writing to commend Joan Walker and The Curtain Call on several jobs well done at our home. We have used Joan in the past for drapes and window seats and more recently to help remodel our dining room. Joan and her staff are wonderful. The tradespeople she brings in are polite and keep the place clean. Joan was always on time and went above and beyond to accommodate our schedules, which meant meeting us on days off at times. Joan doesn’t hesitate to offer an opinion if she thinks she can do something better or show something that she thinks the client will like better. We thought we had picked out tile and when Joan saw it, she recognized I wasn’t thrilled with it. Within a day, she had twelve beautiful samples for me to choose from and ultimately we were thrilled with the result. We have never been disappointed with her work and the results. You won’t be either. "

"We cannot begin to thank Joan and the excellent team at The Curtain Call Custom Interiors for their design expertise on our home renovation. From start to finish, we were presented with a thorough design plan and a budget that met our expectations. The professionalism and expertise of Joan and her team was evident in every aspect of the project from the detailed scheduling, the coordination of contractors and trades, and the presentation of design and furniture options. No renovation is ever without it’s surprises or scope creep and Joan adeptly handled those curve balls and kept us informed on how this impacted the project. We undertook a transformation of our house and updated almost every room, but the kitchen renovation was the star. Joan and her team surpassed our expectations on all fronts, and we could not be happier. We would highly recommend Joan and her team at The Curtain Call Custom Interiors. Thank you!!"

"We hired Joan and her team of designers and tradespeople to redesign and renovate our master bathroom, guest bathroom and powder room. Right from the initial consultation, Joan inspired our confidence in her experience, professionalism, and creativity. She noted our style preferences in creating her designs and was flexible about changes and finding areas for savings. We quickly came to trust and rely on her design sense and problem-solving abilities. Joan sources quality materials, especially custom cabinetry, and her tradespeople are very knowledgeable and reliable. In the end, she also updated our master bedroom, working with the existing furniture, repainting, and installing beautiful drapes, an area rug, and a new ceiling fan. She replaced other light fixtures throughout the main floor and installed my husband's long-desired art lighting. The work was well scheduled and finished in a reasonable time frame, including minor touch ups and fixes. We are happy that the cost did not exceed her initial quote. She was always very calming, reassuring us that the job was not finished until we were totally happy. Which we are! Delighted! The results are beautiful!"
