Kevin Urbaniak of Urban Improvements was recommended highly by a friend of ours on facebook. We had seen some of his completed jobs on facebook and wanted to see if he could make ours as beautiful as a the rest. Kevin did not let us down and built us a wonderful deck for us to enjoy our summer in the backyard of our new home. Kevin was able to stay to a specific timeline for completion, and was also skilled to stay within our budget to produce a quality finished deck. We would highly recommend Kevin for your home renovations if you like a guy who is easy going, and able to get the job done on time and on a budget. Thanks Kevin!
Kevin did an excellent job for us helping out with cleaning our dryer vent that is about 30' high (2nd floor)
He was very easy to communicate with and did exactly as promised. Looking forward to the nextopportunityto hire him!
My basement was completely transformed and we loved it.
The project was done ahead of time and it stayed with in the budget.
They made sure the area was clean during the renovation and after.
I would recommend urban improvements to anyone looking for spectacular looking renovations.
Kevin was patient, friendly and got the job done fast & professionally. The job is complete and looks great. I am happy with the results. I will most likely call him again when I need a job done. Thanks Kevin!
Kevin built a fence for us in the fall and he has done a great job. Our house is brand new and the curbs run along the borders of the property. We had no idea about any of the laws regarding building a fence. Kevin went to the city and contacted the builder to clarify everything. That was a huge help as I was busy with my work. There was no need to chase him and he completed the work on time. Thanks a lot, Kevin!
Urban Improvements installed a new bathroom in my basement from scratch. Not only did Kevin and his crew do an amazing job they stayed within my budget. No hidden expenses; they did as they quoted and constantly kept me informed. Professional work and communication during the project. I couldn't have had a more pleasant experience. I will definitely use them again for my future projects. If you want great quality and a great price give them a call!
I sourced out several contractors for my job using this site. Some tried to give me a quote without coming to the house, others came but didn't provide me a formal quote just a verbal quote. Some of these were even "highly recommended" and rated through this site. Kevin came after one of these individuals and took measurements, explained what would be needed, how to complete the job to code and good timelines on when he could reasonably complete it. He took away all our details and told me he'd get me a quote by the end of the weekend.
He provided a formal quote on time that was lower than all the others I received and explained the work. We booked him and he showed up on time and ready to work. As a general contractor, the electrician employed by him and the hvac installer for our OTR were polite and pleasant to both myself and my family and completed tr work on time and with excellence. It has been a couple of weeks now and things are flawless.
The only reason I gave him a 4 on communication is that he was a bit later than we expected on day 2 of the job and I couldn't reach him for a time he'd be there, but he still showed up and completed the project on time, so not a big deal.
Thanks again Kevin!
Kevin did a great job on my home. He explained what he was doing and what to expect as an outcome. (one wall was wonky from the builder) He is pet friendly, punctual, tidy and when asked, shares his opinion with experience.
Recently I needed to have some renovations completed on my new house, It was imperative that these renovations be completed prior to my moving in as they were for my disabled daughter. My renovations included handicap accessing the bathroom creating a roll in shower stall, raising my front porch to accommodate a wheelchair rolling in and installing a electric wheelchair lift on the front of my house and all the electrical to go with it (note: lift from removed from old house in Toronto and transported to Oshawa by Kevin) These renovations needed to be completed within 2 weeks.
My First meeting with Kevin was great he was courteous, polite, knowledgeable helpful, and confident all the things that I was looking for in a contractor. Kevin never let me down, I even called him at 7 am on a Saturday as I had a leak in basement and didn’t know what to do and he called back within 5 minutes and was over to my house within 45min.
Kevin completed all working within the required time and I was AMAZED as was everyone else to came to see the finished product. Kevin left a lasting impression on me, my family and my friends and I am sure we will use him again for future projects.
THANKS KEVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new deck is an extension of your home to connect with the outside, and everyone deserves a place to relax outside. It can be small to very large and can utilize different materials and patterns. A sketch or layout from your local bldg centre is a great place to start for your design needs.
Taking space within your home that is normally unused as a comfort zone and turning into the best place in the house is what is most enjoyable about the renovation business.
Even the simplest of makeovers can make a bathroom feel fresh again. From a simple toilet replacement or a complete restoration, any upgrade in your bathroom is enjoyed by everyone in the family everyday.
The trend these days is to upgrade flooring from the typical carpet to gleaming hardwood or laminate or even ceramic tile. From just a single room to an entire unit, flooring can make all the difference.
Always the first step once a project has been decided and getting rid of all old materials is the only way to do it right.
