Hi Joe,

I would like to take this opportunity to respond to your review.

Your leak was reported to us October 18 2021, in which we had our plumber return October 21st to investigate the leak. We determined that the plumbing was not the issue. October 29th our trade returned to investigate the issue and started a process of elimination, found the leak and fixed it. We didn't eventually come back, we came back in a timely manner. We don't run from our work or any issues onsite, we are always a phone call away to assist.

Please feel free to contact me if you have concerns.

Regards
Christine
President

Millwork install and painting

We had changed out bad plaster for insulated drywall walls in a dining room and needed all the trim, baseboard, coving and doorway/windows replaced and painted, to match the character of the rest of the old house. Original living room baseboard was also long gone and newish mdf had been installed. We also wanted the hand detailed plaster ceiling and living rooms painted.

We called THIG and got connected with Les, Luke, Scott, & Kyle.

We are so glad we had them do the work!

Les the PM gave us options/direction for style of wood trim that could be used from a local maker. Les was upfront and honest about not being able to replicate exactly what was in our house but the ability to get it very close. After we viewed samples (I went there myself to get them) we selected our baseboard and coving.

Luke did the install. I mean dealing with totally curved walls. Building custom profiles to match what is in our house. Fussing with details. Making beautifully mitred corners meet properly. Customizing the height of window trim to fit the coving. Rebuilding doorways to match. And with such a good attitude!

Scott and Kyle were here to assist with install, repair of plaster/drywall and painting. Also great attitudes and attention to detail!

Our dining room walls had been painted prior to them coming in (perhaps the wrong order of operations but that's what we had done!) and inevitably some paint from the trim dripped. They touched it up with brushes and when I asked for them to come back and re-roll 2 walls as I could see the marks they did. Kyle came back with such a nice attitude and just wanted to make it right. And now it is!

We can't wait to have them back to do more work in the house when we move on to the next projects.

Beth, thank you for the great review you gave Les and his crew. Les always goes that extra mile for his customers and so does his crew. We are so lucky to have great trades and Renovation Advisors to work with our customers. We are looking forward to more projects with you.

Bathroom and bedroom renovations

My husband and I just recently renovated the bedroom and the ensuite bathroom, and we are so happy with the results. Our sales /operations manager for this project was Les. Les came highly recommended to us a number of years ago when we worked with him on another project, and he truly lived up to the expectations. Les is very professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Our PM was Aldo. He and his team did a great job. Aldo did the most beautiful tile laying work, among the array of tasks involved in the project!
The best team we've ever worked with. And both Les and Aldo are so pleasant to work with.
We had to stop our renos last year due to the lockdown and strict condo rules and could only restart late summer this year. Yet, Les and The Home Improvements Group honoured their original quote to us. That shows true care and professionalism. We are already planning another project and look forward to working with Les and Aldo again.
We would highly recommend them!

Drywall repair and painting

In two days our walls were repaired - we had picture style wainscoting. It was a disaster to remove. THIG came in and fixed what we had done attempting to remove the border. Walls were patched, sanded, painted. Other wall touch ups were completed along with some baseboard repair while waiting for plaster to dry. The service was fast and done very well. We would use THIG again for home repairs.

Basement and bathroom renovation.

THIG did a great job, we are very happy with the results. They transformed a partially finished mostly unusable basement space into a entertainment room with a corner home office and a bathroom. They also looked after some additional work and unforeseen problems efficiently and cost effectively.
We would recommend them to others.
