Home Improvement People Inc. reviews (573)

I would like to say a BIG thank you to "The Home Improvement People" for helping with my bathroom renovation. From the first appointment with Dan to get my quote through to the very end, I was extremely impressed and happy with the services that were provided to me. They were very accommodating to my schedule and tight timeline, which was great, and something I would have not expected. I was very happy with Mien and Manuel. Both were extremely polite, respectful of my home and knowledgeable in their work. They worked fast to meet my timeline, however quality was not sacrificed. You can tell that they take great pride in their work! I would definitely consider using this company in the future for my next renovation and would easily recommend their services! Thank you!!!

One of the hardest decisions about getting a renovation done is finding the right contractor. We decided to go with The Home Improvement People based on written reviews and a friends experience with them this past year. The entire team, led by Kris Ramkissoon were not only price competitive, courteous, organized, and clean, they were extremely professional. Our bathroom renovation was completed on the time line promised, and the results were exactly how we envisioned them to be. Based on our experience we can’t express enough how happy we are for picking the right contractor; which made our renovation seamless, and I hope this letter helps someone else make the right decision. We will definitely use The Home Improvement People for any upcoming projects we anticipate in the future. Thank you Kris and your crew for making our renovation a positive experience.

While searching for a General Contractor for our 800 sq. ft. basement, I read many, many reviews on HomeStars and I often wondered if the Home Improvement People’s high rating was a true indicator of the quality of their work. I can now say without a doubt that it really does! We hired The Home Improvement People (THIP) after having Elia come to our home for an estimate. This was after we had numerous contractors come do the same. THIP wasn’t the cheapest, but they were easily at the low end of the range of estimates we had received. More importantly, Elia had the patience, professionalism and courtesy that gave us confidence over the other contractors. He responded promptly to my calls and to my emails, and he was punctual in meeting scheduled appointments. He was never pushy, always willing to answer our questions and was always honest with his opinions, ideas and suggestions. After we signed the contract and before the start of the project, Elia was always available to answer the many questions we had while we finalized our basement design. Once the project got going, we had the pleasure to meet and work with THIP’s crew, led by their foreman Caio, with his sidekicks Fabiano and William. They were friendly, approachable, down-to-earth, hard-working, courteous, and very accommodating to our daily schedule. They held themselves and their subcontractors to the highest standards and they never cut corners, rushed, or settled on a sub-par job. They always cleaned up after themselves before leaving at the end of the day, and they were always available to talk to us when we had questions or concerns. They were quick to respond to our concerns and promptly addressed deficiencies along the way. We were very fortunate to have worked with such a stellar crew. We would not hesitate to recommend THIP to anyone looking for a good general contractor for projects big and small. Caio and his team at THIP will be at the top of my list of contractors to call for any home improvement projects in the future. Thanks Elia and Caio for a job well done!

Hi - I am writing about the great service and workmanship I had with Home Improvement People and specifically with Mike and his Team of craftsmen. This was my 1st renovation project and I was unaware of how quickly the pace can be (even when I set them back by not having things ordered on time). Mike was terrific and very patient with me. Our house was left spotless as the tradespeople vacuumed every night.WE ARE SO HAPPY WITH OUR BATHROOM and the quality of the work performed. Big Thank you to Mike & Rocco!

I don't know where to start in my thanks to Gerhard, Elia, Alex and the crew for the work. In and out in 7 days, the house left spotless when they left - they even cleaned the garage and shovelled the snow. The workmanship is outstanding and I would not hesitate to use these folks again - and I will soon!

Head office was kind and understanding when I had a family emergency and had to postpone start date, thank you. Trades people were friendly and considerate and did a good job changing a 35 year old bathroom into a modern bathroom we can enjoy again.

We underwent a kitchen renovation between February and April 2014. Overall we have been very satisfied with the quality of the workmanship. The execution of the project was also quite excellent and the trades worked together seamlessly. In addition to being effective and efficient, the trades were also very personable and went the extra mile on several occasions (replacing damaged hardwood - thank you Nick!! returning to help with re-installation of a microwave when the first turned out to be defective - thank you Steve!! and re-painting walls when the colour didn't turn out as expected). Our project manager, Larry Maher, was also very effective and on top of issues. He remained accessible and was very prompt in responding to our queries or concerns. I would absolutely recommend The Home Improvement People to anyone seeking to undergo a larger renovation project.

Excellent service from Start to finish. Working with Dave was a homeowners dream, attention to detail, great workmanship and all of this within budget provided. You always hear horror stories of contractors, with Alair homes I can confidently tell you there wont be any of these worries. From start to finish the professionalism exhibited was above and beyond anything we could have expected. Dave made all of our wishes come true with the least inconveniences possible to us to make the whole process a pleasurable experience.

After a long 5 years living with 2 gutted baths and no time to do things myself, I decided to research contractors hoping to find someone that would meet my extremely high standards which I admit are OCD. I've had a few failed attempts by hiring companies (for other projects) who just could not deliver on what was promised and was left with less than stellar work and a very bad taste in my mouth in the end. I then came across Homestars and found a high number of positive reviews on the Home Improvement People and decided to take a chance. After meeting with Ben and establishing the job scope and more importantly my expectations, Ben promised me I would get what I wanted and what I am paying for. He even introduced to me to his project manager who would manage the project and crew from start to finish, and after meeting with Gerhard, my wife and I decided to take the plunge and hope for the best. All I can say in my faith was restored and there really are people out there that 1. work hard, 2. take pride 3. and care what the customer wants. It's hard to find them, but I did in this case. Gerhard's crew worked very hard and fast and made sure things were done to my standards and the end result were 2 magazine quality bathrooms and were done in the timeframe as promised. I've learned a lot from this experience and knowing what is involved, so my next project will be planned out better to save me even more time and money. Thank you for finally giving us the dream bathrooms we've always wanted.

“After listening to a series of enticing ads on the radio, I decided it would be worth testing this enterprise’s emphasis on getting a job done on time and to a high standard. Elia’s practical approach, excellent communication skills, and reassuring manner all proved immensely helpful during the planning stages. When it came time to start, they were ready for us. Not only was the job completed within the time frame established originally, but it was finished a couple of days early. The house was tidy when we returned, and we have been pleased with the quality of the job. If you’re on a timeline and you want it done well....call The Home Improvement People.” Thanks very much, Andrea
