Urban Studio

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.

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!

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.

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.

My husband and I purchased a house this summer and wanted to do some renovations and upgrades throughout the house before moving into it. Going into this huge renovation project, I was anxious from the horror stories I had heard from friends and family about their past experiences. I had started my research looking up different companies and getting multiple estimates and came across Urban Studio Inc. and their online reviews were very good and their website was the most professional I had come across. The Project Manager, Yousef, visited us at our property and spent over 3 hours discussing all the details and taking mesurements in order to provide us with an estimate. It was only a matter of a few hours which then we received a detailed quote that not only had prices and the scope of work, but explained every stage of work in detail which had a positive impact from the beginning and made him stand out amongst other companies. After his second visit and finalizing some details we had then decided to sign the contract with Urban Studio Inc. for $168,000 to dig out almost the entire house and upgrade everything from bathrooms, kitchen, basement, new flooring throughout the space, all finished carpentry and painting the entire house. They finished the project even 10 days earlier than the original estimated time which I find very hard to believe. We are extremely happy with the end result and thinking to using their services for some exterior work in the spring. We are thankful for Yousef's help and input throughout the project and will gladly refer Urban Studio Inc. to friends and family.
