When it comes to a company with their thumb on the pulse, it’s Skyview Services—a premier one-stop-shop in the Okanagan for builders, developers, and residential clients seeking comprehensive interior design solutions. If you’re looking to transform your living space into a work of art—think bespoke cabinetry, stunning drapery, custom window coverings, and the type of kitchen designs that bring your homemaking dreams to fruition—they’re able to do it all, and in one central place.

And thanks to their newly renovated showroom, one step in the door shows you their level of detail and commitment to quality. They have an extensive collection of displays that feature a variety of textures, tones, and contrasts to showcase all the ways Skyview can transform your space. You’ll also notice their dedication to supporting local suppliers and Canadian manufacturers.

With over twenty years in business throughout the Okanagan, Skyview offers a truly staggering number of services, especially thanks to their new ownership. But what truly sets them apart? Their integrated approach with various in-house teams. 

Behind the scenes at Skyview you’ll find the owner and operator, a dedicated design and sales team, an administration team overseeing scheduling and office management, a quality control team, an in-house installation team, and an in-house drapery studio with their master tailor. This means almost every project can be completed under one roof, maximizing efficient communication and stunning end results. 

“This integrated approach ensures a seamless experience for our clients,” says owner Elizabeth Cucnik, “from initial design to final installation.”

Thanks to their decades of knowledge based out of the Okanagan, they understand the constant demand for window coverings due to the sometimes overwhelming sun and heat we receive. In fact, the climate and distinct seasons of the area enhance and inspire their work, driving their designs to suit our valley’s particular needs and characteristics. Pair that with high-end luxury products and they know just how to optimize your space.

Originally more focused on window coverings and closets, Skyview has recently expanded their business to include custom kitchens, millwork, wallpaper, interior design, and general contracting. It’s an exciting time for the business, allowing them to work on a variety of different projects.

And when it comes to business values, they’re constantly striving for innovation, dedication, and excellence.

It guides their relationship with clients, stretching their network from the South Okanagan to all across British Columbia. Thanks to their level of service and attention to detail, they’re known in the industry for maintaining the highest standards of quality to ensure every project is completed on time and to perfection. 

Just a brief glimpse at some of their testimonials speaks volumes about the trust and appreciation they garner from clients.

As an owner, Elizabeth Cucnik fosters a collaborative work environment centred around clear communication and ongoing team support. She encourages all members to take breaks, prioritize personal time off, as well as organized extracurricular activities for team bonding. It isn’t uncommon to find the Skyview team going bowling, hitting the golf course together, laughing at team dinners, or getting together on a Friday afternoon for charcuterie and wine. 

This level of leadership ensures a culture full of creative flow and ongoing morale, which only enhances the quality in each project. When the team works well together, the end results are full of that energy and care. 

“By creating a positive and resilient work culture where everyone feels supported and inspired, we can push through difficult times together,” Elizabeth Cucnik says. 

Much like how food tastes better when cooked with love, their clients can feel the genuine passion and commitment the whole team has for their work. It only leads to stronger, more trusting relationships with both clients and staff.

As with any business, Skyview has had their own set of challenges to overcome, particularly in the last few years. Thanks to the pandemic, supply and distribution chain issues have changed, meaning lead times and product procurement can sometimes take longer than anticipated. But the team has managed to overcome this challenge thanks to their excellent relationships with manufacturers and ongoing communication with clients. 

It’s why adaptability is a key component for Skyview’s team. 

And that approach has also garnered respect and accolades for their company. They received the Gold Award in Best of Penticton for Windows & Blinds, as well as the Bronze Award for Custom Cabinetry and Home Services. They were also recognized as the 2024 Best Medium Business at the Thompson Okanagan Business Excellence Awards in Kelowna last month.

Giving back to the community is also a key component of their business and Skyview actively sponsors various charitable organizations across the valley, including Sowins, Senior’s Society, Kiwanis Society, OSNS, and the Firefighter’s Charitable Society. They are also proud members of the CHBA and participate in local initiatives such as Penticton’s Santa Parade and the Peachfest Parade.

Their dedication to quality, decades of experience, collaborative and supportive ethos, not to mention their support for local and Canadian manufacturers, speaks for itself. That’s why they’re the ideal choice for any interior design, custom window coverings, or millwork.

Hours: Monday – Friday, 9am-5pm; Saturday, by appointment only.
