Home Improvement People Inc.

We started with an ugly, leaky bathroom on Monday and ended up with a gorgeous, fully-functional bathroom on Friday.
The actual work in our house was done by the team of Nuku and Dumitzu and they were wonderful. They showed up everyday on time and worked extremely efficiently and hard throughout the entire week. They were knowledgeable and helpful, always willing to answer questions and work through any design issues. They made the renovation project a breeze and we were absolutely delighted with the results.
We would definitely use this company again for any future projects. We appreciated their upfront pricing and there were no hidden surprises when the final bill came. The company is well-named, as they definitely improve your home!

Dear Home Improvement People,
After going through a number of contractors some from Reno Mark; a supposedly reputable place to find contractors, we were finally able to find a renovation company that actually stuck to their word. We initially called Ben for our basement but after dealing with flaky contractors we called him back to add the two upstairs bathrooms as well. Sometimes you just can’t put a price on piece of mind. It was a pleasure every step of the way dealing with the Home Improvement People, from Ben to Haydee to Elia to Mien, Seth, and Chris. There was always a high degree of professionalism every step of the way. There was always someone available to answer questions. Adjustments were accommodated and made if necessary. Mean and his crew were so respectful, even helping my mom in and out of the house. These are not your normal renovation crew, they definitely go the extra mile and than some to ensure you are happy. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else if a friend or family member asked me for a good contractor.

With the Home Improvement People you have peace of mind knowing that your start date will be adhered too; and they will move it forward or back depending on your needs. On your start date a crew will be there ready to work and every day after your start date a crew will be there ready to work. I know people who have had basement renovations take 8 months for less square footage, our basement took about 3 weeks. The two bathrooms took a little over two. I can honestly say it was a pleasure having Mien, Seth, and Chris in our home. It was like they were part of the family. I might even swap my brother for one of these guys if life were that simple. The finished product is beautiful, and while there are still some finishing touches due to product needing to be ordered they are minor and I know that Mien will be back to have them completed once the product arrives.

My mom absolutely loves here handicap accessible shower. She tells everyone about how great it is and shows it off when ever people come over. Mien did an amazing job slopping the bathroom shower stall to be truly barrier free. My hats go off to him and the guys, I know this was not easy.

Before you think about cutting corners and going with the guy/gal you found on a street poll waiting to turn left at an intersection call the Home Improvement People. You will be happy you did!
Sincerely,
Christina & Mary (Brampton)

Great experience from start to finish! My husband and I needed to renovate one of our bathrooms and after hearing a recommendation from Newstalk 1010’s Bill Caroll we decided to give the Home Improvement People a try. The estimate we were given was exactly what we were charged. There were no hidden fees and no surprises. We were given exact estimates with regard to the quantity of materials required and advice with regard to the best places to purchase them. We had time constraints regarding the project finish date and the Home Improvement People made sure to start and finish the job well in advance. The contractors were extremely professional. They arrived on time every day and they made sure that they cleaned up at the end of each day. They provided us with advice as needed to ensure that we would be more than satisfied with the finished product and they took the time to accompany us to the supplier when needed to purchase material. The next time we have a renovation to do we will definitely contact the Home Improvement People.

I recently had my bathroom renovated top to bottom and I am thrilled with the results. I went from hating my bathroom to absolutely loving it. Mien, Seth and Chris did a fantastic job and noticed things wrong that I hadn't... and fixed them! They took great care of my house and when they left everything was spotless! And of course I had a wonderful new bathroom. Thanks again guys!

Dear Ben,
We want to take this opportunity to let you to know how much we are enjoying our two beautiful new bathrooms and how pleased we were with your company and its exceptional work. While the thought of renovation work can be very scary (and we’d heard horror stories, like most other people), The Home Improvement People exceeded our expectations.

You gained our confidence at the initial meeting at which you listened carefully, then provided a thorough description of the project, the various timelines, phases and pricing. You understood our specific needs and answered all our questions – both then and in our later email correspondence. From there, Haydee did a great job staying in constant contact with us, to ensure everything was on track.

And what can we say about Jerry? He was the consummate professional, a true craftsman in every sense of the word; we marveled at his ability to do every facet of the job with patience, precision and excellence. He took the time to explain various elements of the renovation project, asked us questions about our preferences, provided options and very helpful advice. (Thank you, Jerry, for that wonderful suggestion to frame our glass shower with marble; it looks fantastic!) Not only that, he was a true gentleman and left the house spotless after each day of work on the bathrooms.

We chose to engage your design associate, Niki Stern, for specific aspects of the job. Niki’s advice at the beginning of the project was very worthwhile – she gave us great guidance and we referred to those notes many times on our travels. Niki’s help in selecting our tile for both bathrooms was pivotal. She zoomed us around the Olympia Tile showroom and zeroed right in on what we were looking for, simplifying what would have been a daunting choice.

We would definitely hire The Home Improvement People again and we have already recommended your company to others.

Thanks again, Ben. It was a pleasure to deal with you and your team. You should be proud of all of them.

Sincerely,

Mary Jo and Ed

Finally a company that does what it said it was going to do, in the time it said it was going to be done. I recommend The home Improvement People for any of your renovation projects. Timely, professional, affordabble.

When we started looking for a company to finish our basement from scartch we got quotes that were all over the map. The Home Improvement People were professional from start to finish. They gave us a very reasonable quote and were very flexible in deciding a start time.

After work started, they stuck to their original quote regardless of some small changes we made along the way. My wife and I were impressed by their customer service and how we were always able to gen in contact with the job foreman. They were responsive to our needs and went out of their way to make sure we were happy.

My only complaints are minor ones. The job went a little longer than initially intended and I would have liked a little more input in the planning stage, especially in the kitchen, but other than that, they were perfect. I would highly reccomend them to anybody who asks.,

From the first phone call, to the first in home consultation, to the development of a contract, to changes we made in the contract, to the first work day (which was exactly on time), to the 4 week full reno (which finished on time), to the final day of final touch-ups, we were very impressed & pleased with The Home Improvement People. Narvin and his crew are excellent...request this crew as we were very pleased with their work. Elia was always available and provided great support and direction. Dan and Haydee were a pleasure to work with. We interviewed 4 companies, 3 of which were on this site of Homestars with very high ratings as well. We went with The Home Improvement People not because they were the cheapest, not because they are true professionals, not because we reviewed all their previous work; we went with this company because they "listen", they "have great ideas", they "worked at our pace on our schedule". They are a total package Contractor.
We have worked with all sorts of contractors (easily over 12 different contractors over the past few years) for our rentals, our own home, our business and The Home Improvement People tops them all.
If you want a job done right, worry free, you need to hire this company. You will not be disappointed.

We have previously engaged The Home Improvement People to do major renovation work and were very satisfied. This time, we had several small pieces of work that needed to be done. They were beyond my limited capability / experience to perform; however, we were concerned that they were too small for a contractor to be interested in doing. We pulled together five small peices of work (about one day's effort in total for two people) and approached The Home Improvement People. They agreed to undertake the work and performed it a few weeks later. Cesar and David did exactly what we asked (and were hoping) for. Their work was excellent and was reasonably priced. The timing, especially considering that they had to fit this small piece of work in around other larger jobs, worked out extremely well for us. Their cleanup was thorough and complete. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Home Improvement People for any job large or small." R. Adams

My wife and I were nervous about bathroom renovations after hearing the horror stories from our friends about the delays and quality problems they had with contractors and home renovations. However, our experience with The Home Improvements People has been outstanding. Gerhard and his crew did a fabulous job. They totally gutted two bathrooms, replaced all of the fixtures, tiled and painted the rooms in a period of 9 days. Their crew cleaned up after every day and completed their work with a minimum disruption to our house and our daily routine. My family love using our new bathrooms and they really look stunning. A special thanks goes out to Niki who helped us pick out and coordinate our choices of new fixtures, tiles and paint. Without Niki’s expertise, we would have been overwhelmed with the range of choices and options in bathroom design.
We are planning future home renovations and we will definitely use them again. I highly recommend them as a company that delivers a professional result, on time and on budget with a great staff!
