First class professionalism from the first phone call to the last payment. It's difficult to believe that we used our old bathroom for so long. We love the transformation. Thank you to Gerhard and crew and thx to Haydee at the office. Hi again - this is my second time using HIP. I didnt realize how much we missed you guys. It was great to have you back. We finally saved up enough to finish built ins and flooring and it was worth every dollar. Its a pleasure dealing with your entire gang. All the best.

As many would agree there are many ways to communicate professionally - and alternatively, unprofessionally. We would not recommend this company to partner with due to their very obtuse method in the way they choose to quote possible work - which indicates a total disregard for obvious reasonable pricing. It could also be inferred that they hope to dupe customers into paying ridiculous amounts of money for services that were quoted firmly by other companies AT HALF THE PRICE (which was still 15k). Their focus is on maximum profit per job regardless of the accuracy of the quote. A VERY SIMPLE we

We had 4 estimates for our washroom before we met with The Home Improvement People. When Elia came in he really took his time with us and answered all our questions. He was very transparent on timing and he walked us through the whole process. Gerhard our site supervisor didn't let us down. He was wonderful and very informative. The crew was clean, professional and on time. I would recommend THIP to anyone looking to reno.

I want to thank Trevor, Phillip, and Elia and others who worked on my condo. I had an excellent experience from beginning to end with The Home Improvement People. They were very professional, efficient, responsive, and accommodating. I highly recommend The Home Improvement People.
