2 Bathrooms + Powder Room renovation. Reliable, efficient and professional!

Our project was renovating 2 bathrooms + powder room. Master bathroom included demolition of the shower walls, relocation of the shower, niches, new floor and wall tiles, custom glass, 2 GFI outlets for bidet smart seats with installation, shower systems etc.

Yury did a great job!

- He is very experienced, made relevant recommendations and suggested solutions for all the little issues that always come up during renovations.

- He started and finished the project exactly on time

- The estimate was competitive - I got 10 quotes and while it wasn't the cheapest it was very reasonable.

- The final budget was precisely as estimated. There were no attempts to inflate the budget after the fact, and a few little additional things were generously done within the budget.

- Communications were nice and easy-going. It was as stress-free as a renovation can be.

- Yury pays great attention to detail. All the little things were immaculate. Tiles edges, grout application, niche construction - everything was done incredibly well. He and his partner work fast but don't cut any corners with the quality.

- We didn't hire a designer and designed it ourselves. It was very easy to explain it and he followed our direction with any problems, suggesting corrections and changes for anything that we missed or had doubts about.

We already recommended this company to several of our friends.

Finish basement and en suite bathroom renovation

I was recommended Yuriy by a friend, and after the completion of the basement project, I was so impressed with his work that I immediately requested that he complete my ensuite bathroom renovation as well. His expertise and knowledge were evident throughout both projects. He listened to my ideas and provided very valuable suggestions to translate them into reality. The attention to detail and quality of workmanship were second to none, and the finished products were not only beautiful but also functional.

Throughout the renovation process, Yuriy and his assistant were reliable, always showing up on time and delivering the projects within the agreed timelines and budget. They made sure to keep the work area tidy and organized, which minimized the disruption to my daily routine. They were friendly, approachable, and professional, making the renovation process enjoyable. They were always willing to answer any questions I had, and there were many.

I highly recommend Yuriy for anyone in need of renovation services. His commitment to excellence, attention to detail, reliability, cleanliness, and friendly approach make him a pleasure to work with. I am thrilled with the outcome of both projects and will undoubtedly call on him again for any future renovation needs.

Master Bathroom Reno

We had our bathroom renovation done in the spring and at last sat down to write this review. We found Yuriy on Home Starts and from the very first conversation we knew we wanted to continue with the project with him. Yuriy is very transparent and not afraid to share his opinion which we appreciate. We had many conversations, posed many questions (probably to many) and he was always patient with us. He also went out of his way to take our suggestions and see if he can work with them , which for us meant that he went outside of the original plan and was willing to adjust and be open to our ideas.
What we also loved is that Yuriy was committed to our job fully, he and his assistant showed up every day in the morning and worked super hard throughout the day. The entire job with some quite major changes/upgrades + a last minute powder room job, got completed in two weeks! In the end the outcome exceeded our expectations, absolutely amazing job done. The detail in tiling is impeccable, we get many complements on how well the tiling was done. Overall we love our new bathroom, Yuriy is a true artist and we would recommend him any time.

Bathroom and Laundry Room Redesign and Reno

Our 2 piece washroom and laundry room required a redesign and upgrade badly. We solicited a few quotes from Homestars contractors. When he came over to look at the job, Yuriy was the only one, who able to problem solve on the spot! This gave us confidence that this was the company to hire. I have been iinvolved with many renovations, so I can tell you from experience, Yuriy really knows his stuff. The quality of work is also top notch. If you are fortunate enough to have him agree to take on your project, you will not be disappointed ! Thanks Yuriy!

Bathrooms, laundry and second floor

Remodelled entire second floor including 2 full bathrooms and laundry! Yuriy is extremely knowledgeable and provides expert advice within our budget. He is fast, reliable and efficient! The quality of workmanship can not be matched. He really can do anything and will go above and beyond!  Most importantly he is honest and full of integrity! Will be looking to have him back to do our main floor and basement in the future!

Bathroom Renovation

Yuriy did impeccable work on our bathroom renovation. He and his team were professional, knowledgeable and their work was flawless. They took the time to maintain a clean workspace. Our bathroom was completely gutted and renovated in only 6 days. We absolutely love our new bathroom and will use Universal House Improvement for future renovations. We highly recommend them.

Bathroom Renovation

I found Universal Home Improvements through Homestars as well as a few other companies. When I emailed to get a quote, Yuriy came that very same day. He was amazing to work with. Our bathroom was awful. Yuriy simply told me yes no problem with a fair price. He made suggestions that I never thought of and I gave him some crazy things to do.
I am very picky but He never complained. He did such a fantastic job. He was always on time, answered all my questions via text or phone call and stayed late to get this completed. 4 days to gut and redo a whole bathroom.
He is a wonderful person and words can't express how
thankful I am. The bathroom turned out better than I imagined. I look forward to working with him again!

Bathroom Renovation

We first came across Yuriy and Universal House Improvement on HomeStars website while preparing for an upcoming bathroom renovation. While doing our homework by browsing through the pictures of Yuriy’s finished projects, we’ve noticed attention to details, creativity and a very high level of craftsmanship. Fantastic reviews from the homeowners Yuriy completed projects in the past further solidified our decision to approach him.

After a couple of meetings and calls, we decided to proceed with Yuriy and his crew. His overall approach and the results did not disappoint!

While preparing for a reno, Yuri walked us through the project plan, associated timelines and costs. After reviewing our ‘must be nice to have’ ideas, he pointed out some pros and cons and also offered his suggestions. To be quite honest, we went with the majority of Yuriy’s suggestions as they were in balance with the dimensions of the bathroom area we were limited to and within our budget. Our ‘headache’ was just picking up the materials and selecting colors and Yuriy was very professional in offering his contacts as well.

During renovations, Yuriy and his crew were always on time, efficient, neat, extremely professional and approachable for any impromptu questions we had. If any unexpected challenges (uneven surfaces, pipes, etc.), Yuriy was always presenting multiple options available and offering his solutions. Also important to mention, Yuri was (and still is) ALWAYS available for a quick call or a sitdown.

When finished, Yuriy personally inspected the final product and ensured everything was in place and functioned properly.

In summary:

PROs: Cost, Timelines, Professionalism, Skills, Craftsmanship

CONs: None

We are very happy with how our outdated bathroom got transformed into a mini spa and will be hiring Yuriy to do further renovations in our place. We are already recommending Yuriy to our friends and colleagues.

Laundry Room Renovation

We had Universal Home Improvement renovate our laundry room. The original layout in the room was inefficient and felt crowded. A laundry tub was placed between the washer and dryer in an L-shaped layout, causing difficulty to access the sink.
We met with Yuriy to discuss some ideas and options. Yuriy came up with a creative solution that allowed us to save some money by re-using our existing washer and dryer. Since our appliances were not stackable, he proposed to build a structure that would support the dryer above the washer. Yuriy also came up with an excellent solution for ventilation of the dryer, without losing any storage or floor space. We are very happy with the end result and would recommend Universal Home Improvement.

This is the second time we have hired Universal Home Improvement. Two years ago, we had Yuriy renovate our bathrooms and they still look newly renovated.
