Transformed my space

I was very pleased with the work done by Urban Studio. I live in an old townhouse and did not like the layout of my space. The team at Urban Studio came in and presented several options to upgrade and maximize my living space. Within a week we got the ball rolling and construction began. They completely renovated and designed a new kitchen by removing a separating wall creating a much bigger space. Installed a much needed bathtub and transformed my bathroom into my personal oasis. If you are in a smaller space and looking to maximize I highly recommend the team at UrbanStudio.

Custom new kitchen

My husband and I are extreamly happy with the work done by Urban Studio. Their team was professional, punctual and accessible to our needs. Our first floor was completely gutted, added an extension to our living room and a new custom kitchen. We finally have a space that we are proud of. The specific attention to detail by the team At Urban Studio was greatly appreciated. I would gladly hire them again and recommend them to anyone who wants their renovations done right the first time. Thank you again Urban Studio we LOVE our new space.

Addition in East York

A couple of years ago my wife and I bought a house and knew we needed to add more space in the future. The time came and we decided to add to our home. Our project consisted of a 2nd floor addition of our home in east Toronto. We used Urban Studio as our contractors. We already had our permits, so the beginning stages moved along quickly. The entire job took close to 5 months. A long time, but we didn't need to be out the entire time. Overall we were very pleased with all the crew. We are more pleased with our new space. Over 800 sqft. We love it!

Addition

We are very happy with our new addition to our home. We hired Urban Studio and we were very pleased with them straight from the beginning. Since we already had our permits ready, it sped up the process. From start to finish the whole project took about 3 months. We not have an extra 400 square feet that is beautifully done. I would like to thank the whole crew at Urban Studio.

Extension and Addition

I live in leslieville and want to stay in the neighbourhood. My wife and I are having another child and need more space. Instead of selling, paying real estate fees and land transfer etc. and buy a more expensive house, we decided to put an extension and addition on instead.

We had many quotes, some cheaper and some completely out of our league. We hired Urban Studio because they were reasonably priced, offered to do all of the work, from getting the permits to completely finishing the space. Extra bedroom and bigger living space with new kitchen. The project took about 4 months, there were some problems we ran into along the way, but all issues were resolved. We are super happy with the work and professionalism of the crew at Urban studio and tell all our friends and family about our great experience.

Addition

I would like to recommend and thank the crew at Urban Studio for the work that they did at our home. My family recently added to our ½ story home as space was tight and we didn’t want to move out of the area. Selling was not an option as buying something in our price range wasn’t realistic in our neighbourhood. Before hiring Urban studio I did quite of bit of research and met with many contractors. We moved forward with Urban studio, not because they were the cheapest, but we liked what they offered and they made it important for us to believe in their work. We spoke with previous clients and saw their current projects before moving forward.
Needless to say there were some bumps along the way, but we were always satisfied with the outcome. We needed to be out of our home for nearly a month to two months, which was actually the toughest part. Completely worth it though. Our new addition to our home is great, more space and much less stress. Thank you everyone at Urban Studio!

Addition and extension

I recently hired Urban Studio to build an extension and an addition to my home in downtown Toronto. I have an old semi-bungalow that was too small for my family. My husband and I didn’t want to sell, because we wouldn’t be able to afford anything in our area, where we want to stay. We found Urban studio and about 3 other contractors, all which provided us with quotes. Urban Studio’s landed somewhere in the middle. We decided to move forward with them, because they were very professional, provided us with a very detailed quote and were willing to help us from start with the permits to the finished design. The whole process took a few months to complete, we were updated everyday on the progress and the work went as planned. We now have over 800 extra sqft in our house and couldn’t be happier that we stayed put. Thanks to the crew and everyone who worked on our project.

Thank you!

This past summer my wife Irene and I worked with Urban Studio Inc. to add an addition to our 18th century Leslieville home. We were tentative to add an extension in our backyard, nervous that we would damage our well-maintained but aging home. The project was completed in eight short weeks. We worked closely with Urban Studio Inc. to specifically personalize our dream extension. Not only were they compliant and patient with us, the team worked quickly and were very respectful of the space. Urban Studio Inc. brings the attention and care of a small-town business with the quality and artistry of a world-renowned corporation. Urban Studio is the kind of business we desperately need in our community.
