Foundation replacement/Underpinning

Urban Studio was recommended to us by our neighbours down the street who had hired them previously for underpinning and water proofing. Our project was a little more complicated as our existing foundation walls were in very bad shape and needed to be completely replaced. I knew it was going to be a nightmare and based on previous renovation experiences, I was sure the project was going to be not only a hassle, but potentially stressful and unpleasant. To my elated surprise, I'm happy to report that the crew at Urban Studio Inc. operated very differently than most contractors I've encountered in the past. The job was done on time, and it actually finished a few days before the given time frame. Great management, a professional crew, all the right equipment, working hard non-stop (including weekends!) - this was night and day to our previous renovation experiences. Thank you all for the hard work!

Fantastic Job!!!

We were in the process of looking for a new home but in this market we were loosing hope. My wife and I are expecting in the fall so we were looking for a larger living space. We started to explore the option of working with our existing space. We reached out to the team at Urban Studio who presented us with an alternative plan which was to add a 2 storey addition. We are now loving our new and improved space as we were able to add a new bedroom and bathroom to our second floor as well as a family room and larger open concept kitchen. Our bright new space is better than we could have ever imagined it. Our beautiful modern windows welcomes the natural light into our custom kitchen. Our new bedroom is perfect for the nursery and the convenience of a full bathroom on the second floor is imperative. Since we added the addition we completely re-did our exterior from the old siding to a modern stucco. I am now proud to drive up to my house as it is easily the most beautiful one on the block.

Reliable and Professional

I live in a bungalow in the west end of the city and was looking to renovate my house but wasn't sure what my options were in terms of maximizing my space. I noticed a couple properties in my neighborhood with Urban Studio signs in front of them and got to see the beautiful upgrades over the past 2 months so I gave them a call and enquired. I was very glad I did. A member of their team came to meet me the next day to assess my property and suggested a couple options. They were very quick at getting back to me and following up with a quote. Within the next couple weeks the work began. Their team created a second story addition to my 2nd floor. I now have a proper master bedroom and new bathroom as well. My bedroom has a beautiful walk out terrace with new patio doors and windows. I am so happy I made that initial call to urban studio. The quality of work speaks for itself but on top of that they were a pleasure to work with.

On-time, on-budget! Two thumbs way up!

I live in an old victorian style home and was looking to make some renovations and upgrades in order to increase the value for potential sale in the future. After reading all the great reviews and seeing signs in my neighborhood I decided to reach out to Urban Studio. Immediately they set up an appointment to view my property that day. I am constantly traveling to BC for work and do not have the time to babysit a project this size. I was very happy with the periodic updates but more specifically the attention to detail. My master bedroom was upgraded with a new en-suite washroom with heated floors; I got a custom kitchen with all new appliances and countertops suggested by them. I added a small washroom to the main floor and all new hardwood flooring throughout the house. The craftsmanship is nothing less of quality and they were a pleasure to work with. I will be contacting them again for another renovations.

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.
