Home Improvement People Inc.

We had 4 bathrooms renovated by The Home Improvement People. These were high end and significant renovations and while one might normally default to one of those expensive turn-key design and renovations studios for this nature of renovation, having seen the excellent reviews posted for the HIP here on Homestars we decided to give them a try.

Ben responded to my initial request for a quote within a day and came out the house a couple of days after that to walk us through the estimate, with practical renovation ideas and suggestions.

The quote by the HIP was far and away superior to two other quotes we received and we decided to proceed with them.

Gerhard, Nucu, Alex and the rest of the team showed up on the agreed start date and worked continuously with complete dedication and professionalsim until the job was done. Change orders were dealt with in a responsible and professional manner and the quality of the work was absolutely "top drawer". We couldn't be more pleased.

We had previously had our kitchen renovated a number of years ago by one of the well known turn-key design/renovation studios in our area and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that anyone considering a high-end renovation should not think twice about hiring The Home Improvement People, as you will save yourself tens of thousands of dollars. You do have to do more of your own legwork in choosing tiles, countertops and bathroom fixtures (and those hard costs are in addition to the costs under the HIP contract) but, quite frankly, my experience has been that you end up doing that work anyways with the fancy design/renovations studios and pay a significant mark-up to boot! The HIP folks made excellent recommendations on where we could source those materials and gave us the benefit of their contractors discount, saving us more money.

Each one of the 4 bathrooms we renovated was done a first class standard and our master ensuite is to a standard which is as good as any five star/five diamond hotel that we have been in.

So I would say, if you are prepared to do a bit of your own leg work (which is not much more than you would do with the turn-key outfits) and you want to save a ton of money and receive an excellent product in the end, don't be hesitant to try The Home Improvement People. They are every bit as good as the well known turn-key design and renovation studios, at a far better price!
