Universal House Improvement

We first came across Yuriy and Universal House Improvement on HomeStars website while preparing for an upcoming bathroom renovation. While doing our homework by browsing through the pictures of Yuriy’s finished projects, we’ve noticed attention to details, creativity and a very high level of craftsmanship. Fantastic reviews from the homeowners Yuriy completed projects in the past further solidified our decision to approach him.

After a couple of meetings and calls, we decided to proceed with Yuriy and his crew. His overall approach and the results did not disappoint!

While preparing for a reno, Yuri walked us through the project plan, associated timelines and costs. After reviewing our ‘must be nice to have’ ideas, he pointed out some pros and cons and also offered his suggestions. To be quite honest, we went with the majority of Yuriy’s suggestions as they were in balance with the dimensions of the bathroom area we were limited to and within our budget. Our ‘headache’ was just picking up the materials and selecting colors and Yuriy was very professional in offering his contacts as well.

During renovations, Yuriy and his crew were always on time, efficient, neat, extremely professional and approachable for any impromptu questions we had. If any unexpected challenges (uneven surfaces, pipes, etc.), Yuriy was always presenting multiple options available and offering his solutions. Also important to mention, Yuri was (and still is) ALWAYS available for a quick call or a sitdown.

When finished, Yuriy personally inspected the final product and ensured everything was in place and functioned properly.

In summary:

PROs: Cost, Timelines, Professionalism, Skills, Craftsmanship

CONs: None

We are very happy with how our outdated bathroom got transformed into a mini spa and will be hiring Yuriy to do further renovations in our place. We are already recommending Yuriy to our friends and colleagues.

We hired Yuri to renovate our bathroom based on a recommendation from a friend. Yuri and his crew did an amazing job renovating our bathroom, including insulation of exterior walls and installation of a steam room. It has been 6 months now and we've had no issues. He worked with our tight schedule and got the job done quickly. Yuri is a top notch renovator. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my friends or colleagues.

One word, Fantastic, immediately comes to mind to describe Universal House Improvement, Yuriy and his assistant Alex. Extremely knowledgeable, from design through to construction methods and materials, proficient, efficient, with great attention to detail and an obvious sense of pride in what they do; perfectionists. A complete demo/gut, rework, renovation from top to bottom of living room, dining room, kitchen, main bathroom, tiles and hardwood for entire first floor including above plus family room, den, laundry room, powder room. Yuriy went above and beyond to ensure that there was as minimal disruption to our family through the entire process; cleaned and organized every day, and scheduled work to provide access to areas of our home to meet our needs. I would highly recommend Yuriy / Universal House Improvement and we are looking forward to working with them again for future projects.!

Excellent work from Yuriy and team over two separate projects (yes, we were so happy with the first project that we went straight back to them again).

Yuriy is consistently polite, helpful, genuine and understanding. He provides guidance and advice as needed and was a tremendous help to us in designing our rooms to meet our needs and the existing space. We are totally delighted with the quality of the work provided. The first project was a basement renovation, installing a guest bedroom and en-suite. The second project was the renovation of the master bedroom en-suite.

Throughout both projects, Yuriy and team kept to time schedules, worked very hard, and left our house clean and accessible every day. I would have no hesitation in hiring Yuriy again for a further project and highly recommend his work.

They did a great job in a short time for a reasonable price. Very happy!

After completing a bathroom renovation in our former home 3 years ago, to our complete satisfaction, we knew who to call for our next project in our new home. 4 bathrooms with partial and full renovation. Their experience and advice helped us create our dream bathrooms.

We highly recommend Iurii who is friendly, reliable, cost efficient, works to code and completes the project in a timely manner for your renovation plans.

I hired Universal Improvement to re-tile my kitchen backsplash. Iurii was very professional and knowledgeable with great attention to details.The quality of his work was impeccable, if you want a worry-free experience during your project,don't look anywhere else. You won't be disappointed. Will definitely use him for my next tiling project.

I hired Universal House Improvement to do all of my bathrooms renovation and I'm very happy of work they have done. Everything looks just great. Yuriy is the company owner and he helped a lot on choosing, buying materials and design of my bathrooms. Tile job is perfect and they did everything in time day to day and with no extras at all.

So I'm very happy with their work and will 100% recommend Universal House Improvement, they are simply the best! Alis

Iurii's work is excellent and he is knowledgeable and hard working. He is very capable and adaptable where needed and has carried out a number of additional plumbing and electrical jobs for us in addition to three bathroom renovations. We are very pleased with his work.

Very happy with the quality and scheduling of work performed by Universal House Improvement. Iurri and his team were on time and on budget in what turned out to be a difficult job. I would recommend their work to anyone looking for bathroom and/or tile work. First rate workmanship.
