Maeve from Toronto

Hovig and his team did a great job, and quickly. They did a professional, tidy and detail oriented job painting, installed new basement and attic laminate floors for us, and were also able to install all of the new light fixtures. Basically anything that came up that we wanted/needed to do, they were completely able, willing to accommodate, and licensed. Painted interior (3400 SQF home with TONS of trim and mouldings), exterior, garage, and gates. Installed flooring on 2 floors (did very good job.) Installed all new light fixtures. Quote for full initial interior painting was $18k, $2-5k lower than 4 other companies that quoted. We ended up around $22k by adding on so many extra tasks! They provided us detailed breakdowns of the costs for each additional job, and they were all very fair. Honest company, lovely people, absolutely have recommended, and would 100% use again.

I had the basement dug out after the Toronto flood last summer (2013). It was a huge project and dragged on forever, and I wasn't thrilled with the company that did the initial work (ascot). I wasn't happy with any of the ridiculous quotes I was getting from finishing guys either. I found The Home Improvement People on Homestars and they were super quick to respond and match my best quote. They were super respectful and professional. The costs didn't inflate, the only thing that ended up being extra was the electrical (it was a disaster in the ceiling from previous owner..not their fault). Any time there might have been an additional cost it was brought to my attention first and I was given the choice. Mike is who I dealt with, and he has hands down been my favourite contractor to deal with, ever. Extremely straight forward and no b.s. They finished things on time and came back to finish up every last bit. I highly recommend these guys. I would hire them again for any major reno. They did a thorough and amazing job. Super straight forward people. Ask for Mike!
