Universal House Improvement

Yuriy came in after a horrible job done by Kijiji contractor. He stepped in, removed and fixed the issue that was created by the contractor and confidently created an open space on a structural wall. He is friendly, knowledgable and reasonably priced. He had it all done in two days and we were extremely satisfied. We have already referred him to friends and will hire him again. Thanks Yuriy!!

We hired Yuri to renovate our 1940s bathroom. His quote was reasonable and he stayed on budget and schedule.

His workmanship was very professional and we love our new bathroom. Due to the small footprint of the bathroom, Yuri made some recommendations that really improved the space beyond our expectations (e.g. tiling all the walls; using chrome edging instead of wood trim around window and door; using a glass accent tile to break up the white subway tile pattern; and installing two pot lights perfectly positioned above the tub). He ensured that some minor wall damages in an adjacent room that were caused during the demolition were promptly fixed at no additional cost.

His suggestions did not adversely affect our original budget. He really understood our aesthetic and worked to see our vision come to life. Every evening he cleaned up before leaving. He and his assistant were professional, friendly, punctual, worked hard and finished on schedule. His communication style is very direct and to the point.

We really enjoy our new bathroom and the pleasant renovation experience. So without any hesitation, we would highly recommend Yuri!

I'm so happy with the work Yuriy did on my bahtroom renovation and the backsplash in my kitchen. Not only was he super professional, hard working, and has a great eye for detail, but he did the job quickly and for a reasonable price. I would recommend him to anyone i know.

Had two bathrooms (one main one powder) done simultaneously. Included tiling, stone work, wall demolishion, plumbing, fixtures and installation of a barn door. Great workmanship, done on time and kept the house very clean as they worked, important in a small space. We sourced our own tiles, stone and fixture with suppliers they recommended - got great quality and felt like that saved us money. this is the second project we've used them for and would recommend. thanks for a great job!

We hired Yuri to renovate our bathroom based on a recommendation from a friend. Yuri and his crew did an amazing job renovating our bathroom, including insulation of exterior walls and installation of a steam room. It has been 6 months now and we've had no issues. He worked with our tight schedule and got the job done quickly. Yuri is a top notch renovator. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my friends or colleagues.

One word, Fantastic, immediately comes to mind to describe Universal House Improvement, Yuri and his assistant Alex. Extremely knowledgeable, from design through to construction methods and materials, proficient, efficient, with great attention to detail and an obvious sense of pride in what they do; perfectionists. A complete demo/gut, rework, renovation from top to bottom of living room, dining room, kitchen, main bathroom, tiles and hardwood for entire first floor including above plus family room, den, laundry room, powder room. Yuri went above and beyond to ensure that there was as minimal disruption to our family through the entire process; cleaned and organized every day, and scheduled work to provide access to areas of our home to meet our needs. I would highly recommend Yuri / Universal House Improvement and we are looking forward to working with them again for future projects.!

Excellent work from Yuri and team over two separate projects (yes, we were so happy with the first project that we went straight back to them again).

Yuri is consistently polite, helpful, genuine and understanding. He provides guidance and advice as needed and was a tremendous help to us in designing our rooms to meet our needs and the existing space. We are totally delighted with the quality of the work provided. The first project was a basement renovation, installing a guest bedroom and en-suite. The second project was the renovation of the master bedroom en-suite.

Throughout both projects, Yuri and team kept to time schedules, worked very hard, and left our house clean and accessible every day. I would have no hesitation in hiring Yuri again for a further project and highly recommend his work.

Great job on a total bathroom reno and very reasonable price. Needed the bathroom finished in time for holidays and Yuriy and his team came through ahead of time. They know what looks good and how to make things work in the space we had. We are very pleased and look forward to future projects.

Yuri and his crew have done a few jobs for us and my family. Great work, nice people to deal with and always available when called upon.
True professionals. I would recomend them as we have been pleased with the work they have done for us.

I was a bit leary of having major work done just before xmas...but yuriy & his partner were done in 2 days. they were very professional & clean, even took down my pictures in the bathroom & covered everything with plastic.
i would definitely call them again.
