We hired HIP to renovate our main floor in two stages....the first half (including our kitchen) and then about 6 months later the second half. They are great to work with: very punctual, upfront with everything and easy to work with. The work was done to our complete satisfaction and we'd recommend them again to anyone! We are very happy we trusted them to work on our home!

Great renovation. Charlotte and Erik where great to work with and looked after every detail. I look forward to hiring Home Improvement People for any further projects.

We had some exterior painting done on our porch and window trim. Santiago and his team did an excellent job! I look forward to having them do more painting for us in the future.

Our experience with The Home Improvement People (HIP) was exceptional!

We found HIP on Home Stars. We contacted three contractors, met with two and selected The Home Improvement People.

Our project started off small. To finish approximately 50% of the basement and replace the vanity in the master ensuite. Philip did the initial quote and he was easy to deal with and was very patient with us - making changes, answering all of our questions, etc. We told Philip that we would need lots of handholding throughout the project and we did!

When Philip first introduced us to our project manager, Elia, we knew he was someone who we could work with. When Elia told us what day the project would start we asked him if that date was firm? He responded Its written in the book of Elia & it was!

On the day the project began we were introduced to various trades: The team doing the basement, team doing the master ensuite, painters, plumbers and electricians.

From there on the project grew & grew. Shortly into the project we decided to redo the entire master ensuite including heating the floors. Then we decided to completely redo the powder room and replace the tile in the entrance and laundry room. Just as we were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel we came to the realization that if we did not upgrade the kitchen before we moved into the house it would never get done! Elia thought we were nuts and explained it would impact our anticipated move-in date. When we told him we could be flexible he agreed to do it and within a few days the kitchen was demolished.

The entire HIP team has been incredible to work with: Elia was great throughout the project. He was always available by text, email & phone and responded quickly, Gerhard backed up Elia and was also great to work with, Charlotte with her assistance on design, John & Kevin working their magic in the basement with the drywall, painting and flooring, Daniel & Victor everywhere with the project - demolition, laying tile, installing bathroom fixtures, etc. Daniel is a wealth of information and provided great advice during the project. The painter Jordan and his assistant David did great work. It looks great and we are very happy. I dont want to forget Haydee in the office who kept us updated on billing & payments. Many thanks to everyone involved - we are extremely happy clients and would use The Home Improvement People again and also recommend HIP without any reservations!

We had our bathroom renovated by Jerry from the HIP and cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the initial meeting for a quote to the last day of the reno was a great experience. Jerry was always available to ask questions and guide us in purchasing materials needed. He showed up everyday by 8am and was down to business and worked hard. The timeline we were given for our project was accurate and your job will be finished before he moves onto the next one. Jerry was very friendly, personable and a pleasure to have around. Jerry tidied up every evening and when the job was finished, he left our place clean. Everything was done so professionally and looks amazing. We are very happy customers and would recommend HIP/Jerry to anyone!

From the start Elia and his team were great to deal with. Elia explained everything in detail and mentioned his site supervisor Satar will be contacting me.

From day one Satar and his team were awesome, punctual and very hard working!! Satar explained everything at the end of everyday and walked me through what has been done.

Very professional, clean, hardworking and detailed in their work!!

Thank You Elia, Satar and team for doing a fantastic job creating a bathroom and basement reno for my mom.

Much Appreciated!!!!!!!

We recently had the pleasure of working with HIP to rebuild our leaking shower, and I must say that the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial sales process to the final result, Jerry demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a commitment to delivering excellent service.

When we were searching for a contractor to handle our shower rebuild, we had HIP shortlisted by our insurance company. Looking also at their online reviews we decided to contact HIP through the web contact form. Jerry called back, and provided a fair price over the phone. However, he also took the initiative to visit our home and inspect the assumptions to ensure accuracy. I appreciated this attention to detail and transparency, as it meant that there were no surprises or unexpected cost increases throughout the project.

In comparison to other companies we had contacted, who spent over an hour assessing the job on-site, Jerry's expertise and concise five-minute sales process stood out. Knocking at the wall, inspecting the corners of the old shower and said, yes, the price I gave you is good. His confidence in his abilities and clear communication convinced us that he was the right choice for the job. He provided valuable advice on selecting the right tiles for our shower, further demonstrating his knowledge and commitment to customer satisfaction.

Jerry promptly scheduled the job and consistently showed up at 8 am every day. I was truly impressed by his work ethic and efficiency. He wasted no time in getting the job done, and the end result was absolutely beautiful. After just one week, we now have a fully functional and stunning shower that exceeds our expectations.

Jerry's commitment to delivering on his promises and his dedication to providing exceptional service throughout the entire process left a lasting impression on me. I would highly recommend Jerry and the HIP team for any shower builds or other bathroom projects.

we are very pleased with the work of Gerhardt and his team (Slavic, Raphael, and others, including the plumbers).

We appreciated Gerhardt's organization and he always responded in a timely manner. Slavic and Raphael were professional, courteous, at all times and provided guidance that really made a difference. We were able to see firsthand how hard the team worked and how they also made sure to do the little things that also mattered, e.g. cleaning up, vacuuming, and fixing the small things as needed.

Overall, our experience with HIP has been very positive due to this team. We are very happy with our new bathroom and new wall. We would recommend HIP to others.

We contacted HIP based on their incredible reviews on Homestars to do a large renovation on our side split in Upper Forest Hills.
They did not disappoint.
We were absolutely blown away by the level of organization, skill and professionalism. They completed a brand new kitchen, basement and four bathrooms in less than 3 months! They designed, sourced and implemented every aspect of our reno. The only extras were on items that we decided to add to the original scope. Their estimate was fair, detailed and accurate.
We have been through several renovations previously - none of them good - and we were nervous to take on a large scale reno again.
The Home Improvement People actually made the process enjoyable.
To those reading this - look no further. This is the Company to work with.

Thank you Dan, Elia, Charlotte, Christian and Satar!

We recently had the pleasure of working with The Home Improvement People for a complete bathroom renovation, and we cannot express how thankful we are for their exceptional service and quality workmanship. From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy with every aspect of the renovation.

Gerhard, the sales consultant, was a pleasure to work with. He was always available to answer any questions we had and provided expert advice on how to best achieve our vision. We truly appreciated that Gerhard was transparent and fair in his pricing, ensuring that all necessary items were included in the quote without any surprise add-ons.

The crew, led by Slev as site foreperson, Raphael as the jack of all trades, Igor as the tiling master, and the plumber (cant remember his name) the lead pipe whisperer, were simply fantastic. They were all so friendly and courteous, making sure to say hello and goodbye every day. They were always respectful of our decisions and kept us informed throughout the renovation process. We were especially impressed by their attention to detail, from demolition to fine finishing, and how they took great care to keep the work area clean and tidy at all times.

Igor's tile layout, leveling, and cutting skills were exceptional, and he was able to tackle even the trickiest areas with ease. Raphael was a true jack of all trades, handling everything from installing the water proofing board of the shower to the final touches like painting and trim. Slev's attention to detail was unparalleled, and he made sure every aspect of the renovation was done to perfection. The plumber was also fantastic, ensuring that all the plumbing work was done correctly and efficiently, he had no issue effortlessly replacing the lead pipe from our toilet to the stack.

We were so grateful that there were no surprises when it came to the final bill, as The Home Improvement People provided us with a detailed quote upfront, and any changes were discussed with us and documented in a signed change notice. This level of transparency gave us peace of mind and helped us avoid any unexpected costs.

Overall, we could not be happier with the outcome of our bathroom renovation. The Home Improvement People exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and reliable renovation service. Thank you so much to Gerhard, Slev, Raphael, Igor, the plumber, and the entire team for making our bathroom renovation a glowing success!
