    partial bathroom reno

    We were very happy that Jerry was able to squeeze in our partial bathroom reno on short notice. He did a great job replacing our old tub with a new one, and installing new tile and bath fixtures. We're delighted with having our bathroom back in order, looking better than ever. Jerry was very professional, efficient and communicated very clearly about the project. All in all, we paid a fair price and got a great result, and will definitely turn to Jerry & the Home Improvement People for any future projects.

    We love our new kitchen!

    We picked Home Improvement People for our kitchen renovation because of their reputation on HomeStars -- and we were incredibly pleased with the process and end result. Working with Charlotte, the designer, to achieve our functional and aesthetic goals, and then working with Larry, our project manager, on execution was a really great experience. They took care to support every question, concern and idea that we had and didn't stop until we were completely satisfied. They delivered on time and on budget, and not only that -- we're in love with the end result!

    2nd floor renovation

    This is our second renovation with the Home Improvement People. They did our basement 5 years ago and we were impressed and so we decided to go with them again for the revonation of our second floor. This included removing the existing popcorn ceiling/insulation and a total gut of our ensuite and main bathrooms. Larry was the project leader this time. He was easy to talk to and very prompt in his communication. His sub trades were professional and also easy to get along with. For the most part the reno was completed on time. There were a lot of factors (COVID/supplies issues) beyond anyones control that delayed it just a bit. There were other unexecpted problems that were discovered during the demolition (rotting exterior wall). Larry was able to line people up to fix it as soon as possible.. Many thanks to Gabe (tiling), Steve (electrician), Andrew and Jack (demo), Tommy (plumber), Slavik (dywall), Mike (exterior walls and siding) and last but not least Steve and Mike (painters/finishers).

    Nothing short of Amazing!!!

    From start to finish The Home Improvement People have been amazing. From the initial sales call with Phillip, to the planning with Eli who always kept my best interest as the top priority knowing I wasn’t walking around with a blank cheque. He always offered his most practical opinion, while still ensuring the job would be done properly. Now, to the true heroes…Christian and Carlos, Just the BEST!! Communication was great, were friendly, easy to work with, professional, followed all safety protocols and were very respectful of the house. They cleaned up everyday they were there. Even after having a few setbacks (in every reno, there’s at least 1), they were amazing and walked me through it, made their best case scenario suggestions and powered through it. The quality of the workmanship was simply outstanding and shows in the final product. I would not hesitate to bring them back for another project. Contractors of the year if you ask me.

    Hi Jason, This review is nothing short of amazing! Thank you for taking the time to detail your experience. Have a wonderful summer! Dan

    kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, main entrance handrail, main floor painting

    Philip was helpful providing the quote but I should have asked or more details. I was left with the impression that they could help me pick out materials needed that I had to pay extra for like a magazine or brochure. (Some companies are members at a private store for builders/renovators) There were update extras offered on the quote but were never mentioned afterwards. Eli who was in charge of the job only came twice, once for an initial look and gave me the names of 3 flooring companies, then to drop off the 3 people doing the work. Never heard from those 2 again. Mark and the other 2 were combined carpenters, electrician, plumber, plasterer, painter... I actually expected single trade persons rather than multi-trade, not that thats bad its just what I thought, maybe I watched to much HGTV. I paid over $2000 extra to have the 3 bedrooms and the Kitchen ceiling painted, there are see through spots in the kitchen never addressed, Mark listened to my few complaints but were not addressed. In the end I still had to fix a few things. The job site was never cleaned at the end of the day or week, plaster debris was in the supply vent in the bathroom that we found a week after the job was completed. Then that was it, just an email request for the final payment, no walkthrough, nothing. I felt a real lack of professionalism and a lack of respect. I suggest asking more questions and getting a clear idea of who is doing the work and what kind of assistance they will be providing especially when the quote is mainly labour costs.

    Finished Basement

    All of the 10/10 reviews here are a testament to how great the HIP are; if I could give them an 11/10, I would. From start to finish, the entire team was fantastic to deal with in turning our unfinished basement into a beautiful and inviting space. Phillip, our estimator, took us through all of the options available to us at the outset, and quickly understood what we were looking for and translated it into a clear quote that was competitive with several others we had obtained. Our project manager Elia gave us a firm start date, and the work actually got underway a few days ahead of schedule. Christian and Carlos were absolutely outstanding. They clearly explained the process every step of the way, answered our many questions whenever they came up, and talked us through a few options and gave great advice (in a couple of cases, suggesting ideas we never would have thought of, and ended up doing). They did excellent work themselves, and kept us informed of when to expect the various trades, each of whom were equally friendly and professional. The job was completed within the scheduled timeline of eight weeks, and there was someone working on our project for pretty much every weekday of that period (and even on a couple weekends). The end result exceeded our expectations; the pictures don’t do it justice. We were hoping for a look and feel that would match the rest of the house (we didn’t want a stark, “rec room” vibe), and our finished basement may have become our new favorite part of the house. Our many thanks to everyone involved.

    Basement Project

    I did a whole home gut and these guys did my basement. Very happy with the professionalism and I can see why they have so many reviews. Price is a bit high but you get what you pay for.

    Kitchen Reno

    Incredibly collaborative, professional, and responsive. Met or exceeded every expectation. Trades people were impressive, expedient, and polite. This was the 2nd time we've used the HIP, and we'd be happy to go with them again.
