My master bathroom was totally dysfunctional for me. Dark, tiny shower stall, much too deep bath tub and no linen cupboard. I contacted Home Improvement People and from the initial contact I was very happy. We agreed on the new bathroom design (removal of bath tub, construction of large walk in shower, installation of linen cupboard, new vanity, lighting, tiles etc.). I worked with their designer Charlotte who assisted with the acquisition of all the materials in the autumn of 2021. Work started in late January 2022 and was largely completed in less than two weeks. The only remaining things were the installation of the linen cupboard and the glass for the shower enclosure. I am very happy with every aspect of the new bathroom. I now have a bright, modern and functional space. Thank you to Nicolai and John who actually did the work and Charlotte for her assistance.

I knew I would need help purging, packing and organizing the move from my home of almost 25 years into a condo. Based on the excellent reviews on HomeStars, I contacted Pauline of Simply Home. They were amazing. They helped me purge virtually every aspect of my belongings and then carefully packed the remainder that would be moved. Pauline engaged some excellent movers. On moving day, Pauline was with me all day to oversee the move and then stayed to do a bit of initial organizing at the condo. Finally, Leah...her EXCELLENT organizer came for 2 days to help me finish unpacking and get the condo and storage unit well organized. I cannot recommend Simply Home highly enough. Thank you Pauline and team!

Before I moved in to my 1245 sq ft condo, I wanted to have new flooring installed. Timea helped me choose some beautiful LVP and explained the process to me. When Lehel came to do the detailed measurements, he right away let me know he suspected some major unevenness in the slab under the existing flooring. They would not know the extent of the problem until the old flooring was lifted. Indeed, there were MAJOR problems with the sub-floor. The Alliance team worked hard to level things out and, despite a tight timeline they got the job done. Very happy with my new floors. Thank you to Timea, Lehel and their team! Highly recommend them.

Thank you very much for the great review! Not too often we find a really bad sub-floor like yours, but it was our pleasure to work with such an understanding customer. Enjoy the beautiful new floor!

I needed to replace my almost 30 year old windows. I attended the Toronto Home Show and spoke with several window suppliers. I got estimates from 3 and was most impressed with the Andersen product. They were not the least expensive but the combination of the quality and warranties (on both the windows and installation) were the deciding factors. The installation team (Nick and Alex) were excellent and the job was completed in two days. My only comment/slight complaints were that I was told several times it would be only a one day job but it was, in fact a two day job. I also felt the installation team did no manage expectations with regard to when they would be arriving each morning. Once they got here...they worked very hard and did excellent work. I have since discovered a cut in one of the screens...have contacted the company and a new screen is on order.

I bought a new sofa. What to do with the old one? I contacted Cargo Cabbie and their booking and estimation process was very easy and efficient. Two very nice and capable young men came as arranged and carried the sofa down a flight of stairs and into their truck. They then took it to the local Salvation Army Thrift Store for donation. The overall process was great and I'll certainly use Cargo Cabbie again if the necessity arises. Thanks very much.

Laura and her team spent 4 three hour sessions and totally transformed my spare bedroom and kitchen. Under Laura's guidance, we purged, sorted and ended up with two much more functional and attractive spaces. Thank you so much Laura. A wonderful, positive experience.

I live in a freehold townhouse. My two adjacent neighbours and I had Oleg and his team replace the flat roof on our three houses. He also installed two new larger downspouts. I found the price very reasonable and the work was completed as promised in a timely manner. The job site was kept clean and tidy and Oleg was responsive to any inquiries. All in all a very good experience. Thank you Oleg!

I had a leak in my roof...I called Tom (whom I found on Homestars) and, despite what I'm sure must be a very busy time for him with all the snow/ice/cold, he came over within just a few days. He went up on the roof, took pictures to show me that it was only a relatively minor problem with caulking, went to Home Depot and got the needed materials, came right back and fixed the problem. Thank you Tom...I really appreciate your help!! Liz in Leaside.
