Home Improvements Skilled Trades Inc.

Mario and team did a great job on our bathroom. High quality work! He was very responsive to all of our questions and is extremely approachable and pleasant. He was punctual for all of our meetings and gave his opinion throughout the job to make sure we had the best result. Would definitely recommend him and wouldnt hesitate to hire him again!

Paid to build and waterproof a walk in shower. No flood test performed prior to tiling. Wrong drain used with kerdi tray. Contractor Ashton did not know a kerdi drain must be used with a kerdi tray. It was not waterproofed at all and leaks into basement when used. Inspected it 3 times and they did not know why it was leaking, and only re-siliconed at every visit while we still could not use the shower. On the third visit Ashton brought his father Mario who said it was because the abs was 1.5 and not 2. I paid for multiple contractors and plumbers to assess and they all said it was the waterproofing and not the abs. I looked through my receipts and saw they purchased a kerdi tray. I watched several videos of how to install it, I read through lots of articles and forums, and I called schluter; you must only use a kerdi line drain with a kerdi tray. I told this to home improvements skilled trades inc. They offered to rip it the shower floor and re-do it correctly if I pay for the material again. I said no because I already paid for it all once and they failed. They called me unreasonable and blamed me for providing the drain. I said Im not the contractor getting paid; theyre supposed to tell me the drain would not work and a kerdi line drain must be purchased, not vice versa after several months of investigating it all myself. I requested a refund instead. No response. Havent used the shower in months and have to pay someone else to fix it. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

As an interior designer, I've been working with Mario for several years. Mario and his crew are always so pleasant to work with. I appreciate their respect and honesty to my clients, their high standard of work and attention to detail. Mario and his crew are easy to communicate with and are always able to adapt to the inevitable changes or surprises that come up during renovations. I look forward to more projects with Mario in the future.

The workmanship in the renovation is superb. Work done in a timely fashion and when a couple tweaks after the reno had to be done, Mario or his crew came back to do more work very quickly.

The team did fantastic work on my condo renovations. The worked seamlessly with the designer and condo superintendent. Site was always tidy and they were respectful of my time and work commitments. They were always prompt in responding to my questions and perhaps what I valued the most is their proactive thinking around solutions to surprises that always come up with renovations. The final product is beautiful. Would absolutely work with them again!

We had a diy project from previous owners that needed full removal; new up-to code insulation and electrical as well as completion. Laundry room; 2 large rec rooms and shortening footprint of electrical. Everything looks so wonderful, painting, flooring; stairs. We had a lot of ductwork that was different levels; they did a super job to minimize bulkheads and make everything look uniform and sleek. They covered the pole in the middle to make it look like a feature and the tiny basement windows were angled in to allow more natural light. Everything looks so bright and fresh! We are beyond ecstatic and love the basement!

Mario and his team came this year after we started to notice water in our basement, upon inspection he recommended water proofing our foundation and after shopping around it was determined that Home Improvement offered the best price.

Mario and his crew showed up the next day to start the work (which was a Wednesday) and by Friday everything was completed and clean up.

I would highly recommended this team for water proofing as they did an amazing job, where easy to work with and left no mess.

Thank you Mario!!

We needed our basement finished for some extra living space for our daughter. We got several quotes and decided on Home Improvements. We felt very comfortable working with them from the moment we met and throughout the entire project. From the layout and design, to picking finishes, colours and materials, there experience and expertise really showed, and they walked us through every step and answered all our questions. They kept the basement clean and organized throughout the project. We could not be happier! I cannot recommend them enough, we will be using Home Improvements Skilled Trades for all of our future projects.

My old windows were in dire need of an update, and Home Improvements was recommended to me by my neighbor. They came and took measurements, and gave me the price that evening. I agreed and had the windows ordered, and two weeks later they were installed. They look and perform amazing, sealed perfectly! No drafts or air coming through, insulated all around very well. I'm very happy with the work. Will definitely call them back for my next project.

Had them build me a new deck on the front of my house. Extremely satisfied with the work, especially the stairs and railings everything looks great! Very polite and professional, and they kept the yard and driveway so clean and tidy throughout the project, very organized. I'll be calling them back for my next project for sure.
