Hi Ben, just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know what a wonderful job Gerhard, Nicolai and the crew did. It was such a pleasure to have them in our home. Not only did they do a great job but they are wonderful people and the whole experience was extremely positive. And I must, say, it was a great pleasure meeting you as well. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again in the future. Thanks so much. Sandy Komsic

During the fall of 2012 my husband and I have had our kitchen, hall and main floor powder room renovated by Home Improvement People. Having never been through a renovation before we were a bit apprehensive. We are very happy with the end result. All of the staff and tradesmen were very professional. Issues were addressed and resolved in a timely manner. Very helpful suggestions were made and implemented to maximize the use of our small kitchen. We would not hesitate to recommend Home Improvement People services.
Thank you, Judy Fedorko

Ensuite bathroom renovation - Mississauga

The team of Tim, Mo, Cornell and Dave from the Home Improvement People did an excellent job gutting and renovating our en-suite bathroom which involved replacing the tub with a shower. Before the project was started Tim discussed with us the specifics of what we wanted and offered suggestions on the best place to put the niche and a design for the corner bench in the shower. The electrical and plumbing was altered as necessary. The tile work is BEAUTIFUL! Overall a lovely job. Thanks

Dear Haydee, Ben, and Gerhard,
Thanks for the receipt and for the excellent job performed by Gerhard's team of : Nicolai ( Colia ), Dumitru and Slavy. And just as Alexa Petrenko and Ben promised, the mess they made, they always cleaned it up in the evening before leaving. This was particularly appreciated. Will be happy to recommend your company to whoever needs similar services.
Best regards, Marion Sternbach

It’s been 24 hours since the last of the crew packed up and I’m supposed to begin getting over the renovation fatigue, but I actually miss the wonderful crew headed by Elia! I marvelled at how well Elia and his team worked together. I was told that with this company the workmen show up on the first day at 8 a.m. and it is true. At all times Elia, Christian, Chris, Rick, Ozzie, Stanley, were accommodating, responsive, pleasant, and helpful. Turning a tired old basement into a “condo” for my elderly mother (that included a custom kitchen, 2 bedrooms, living room and bathroom) in less than 8 weeks was just short of miraculous and it all came in as quoted, no surprises. My neighbours are busy admiring the glamorous finished product and I suspect there will be some new interested future customers here. I kept in regular contact with Elia and any requests I made were promptly forwarded to the appropriate tradesperson. Elia was very gifted in calming the occasional worries and gently managed them all to a proper solution. The team was very willing to go the extra mile and assisted me with the little extras that they knew would be hard for me to manage – no additional charge. Where I felt out of my depth in deciding what to choose or do, they came up with plenty of wonderful, useful ideas that I greatly appreciated.
My basement is now the nicest area of the house, but I hope in time that I can call The Team back and have them transform my kitchen too!

Bathroom reno

We had a half-demo'd basement bathroom that we needed to be fully demo'd and then re-built. Danny the estimator was the most professional estimator we met. The general contractor Mike was terrific, and advised us to buy all our fixtures ahead of time, and how much of everything we needed. I recommend this advice, btw, because it makes the reno go so much more smoothly when you already have all the components there. Mike also gave us the great tip of the cheap tiles at Olympia's discount outlet. The team they brought were amazing! Professional, tidy and best of all they completed everything on time, which was very important to us. We'd definitely hire them again!

What could this company do to improve their services?
We were happy with everything.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Make sure you know what tiles, fixtures, etc., you want. Go for standard sizes if possible. Be available to contractors if they have questions.

Jerry completed our total bathroom renovation ahead of schedule and to our complete satisfaction. He took on the whole job crossing lines of many skill groups. It was very impressive to see him tackle all aspects with high technical ability. Although working quickly he took time to explain what he was doing, checking to verify requirements with us and did make a few excellent suggestions. Like the use of pencils to edge the tile versus the j -channel edging someone recommended. The bathroom is beautiful, beyond our expectations. Jerry must be the perfect contractor for HIP. He did all the work perfectly and didn't need any support from the home office. Thanks again Jerry. You were the perfect contractor for us, too.

Haydee, please extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone at Home Improvement People who planned and built a small apartment in the basement of my aged Aunt and Uncle who needed suddenly a full-time caretaker if they were not to be separated. Everyone without exception, was polite, caring, and helpful. The job was well managed, the time frame as advertised and shopping and details managed where there was no one else to do it. The Old People said that they hardly knew that anyone was there working. I will certainly be happy to recommend your company to others. Thank-you, the grateful niece. Alice B
