Bathroom Addition/Basement Reno

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.

Shower Rebuild

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.

Basement bathroom and wall reno

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.

Full Home Renovation - to the studs

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!

What a wonderful team to work with.

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!

Complete finishing of my basement

HIP transformed my basement from a big open concrete box with windows into a finished living space with a laundry room, bathroom, office, and furnace room. I chose HIP based on the recommendation of my Home Insurance company, as well as Homestars reviews, and because of their 3-year warranty. My Project Manager, Elia, made sure that there were no significant delays between the various work groups, and that all the necessary materials were on-site when required.  He, and my 2 site-managers -Carlos and Christian- were always approachable and open to my questions or concerns. 

My project was done under a Building Permit, meaning various Inspectors were checking throughout the job to ensure things were being done according to the Building Code.  There were no problems.  In fact, HIP identified an error in my Architects drawings which -if followed- would have resulted in major rework and potential water freezing problems (as well as an Inspection failure). HIP also agreed to fix a couple things on MY to-do list without any hesitation or additional cost.  Based on what I saw, all the workgroups (framers, electricians, HVAC and insulation people, plumbers, drywallers, painters, tilers, carpet-installers) were experts in their field; ie, no beginners or jack-of-all-trades. There was a little bit of rework required in tiling the bathroom tub area, but that came without any objections.

I was extremely pleased with HIP; I would definitely hire them again without ANY hesitation. Thanks guys!

From problematic builder grade bathroom, to custom home spa

This was a 13 year old builder grade bathroom, that had been problematic since day 1. The fan always ran, yet it always seemed damp in this space. In the end the waterproof membrane for the shower base failed, the subfloor was compromised and moldy.

We found The Home Improvement People (HIP) here on Homestars with all their excellent reviews. We worked with Phil, and Gerhard to get our dream bathroom and spa retreat drawn, and priced. We worked with some amazing retailers that clearly have a great relationship with HIP (that is always a good sign). Sil from Tubs, and Eden from Centura Tile were terrific.

We then had the Bathroom crew come in to start demolition down to the studs. Replacing all the damaged subfloor .. and then starting building us our dream bathroom and spa retreat. It turned out better than we could possibly have imagined. The crew (Nadia, and John) were simply amazing. Wonderful to work with and consulted me throughout to ensure the final product met or exceeded our vision. The photos speak for themselves, and this was all completed in 3.5 weeks. (only missing the glass for steam shower which is being installed by another company very soon)

I highly recommend The Home Improvement People, and will certain not hesitate to use them again.

Highly recommend

We were 100% satisfied with the basement kitchen Reno we had done.
Elia was very understanding of the task at hand, and seamlessly lined up the stages of the renovation, and was super supportive, and very communicative through out the entire Reno.
Carlos the project lead was extremely efficient, respectful, and friendly, and the workmanship was great. He answered any questions we had, and always showed up right on time to start working.
We would not hesitate to use them again, or recommend them.

Great job guys, and thanks again!
