What Our Clients Say About IK Home Improvement
After very unsuccesfull communication with contractors that were appointed by our insurance, we decided to contact IK Home improvement and never regret it.
They done EXCELENT work and their price was very competitive compare to other quotes we received.
Floor complete replacement, rooms and stairs carpets removal and replacement with hardwood, bathroom renovation, everything was just great but not less important, all finished in timely manner as expected!
Easy and clear communication, no hidden expences at the end of the project, very clean and precise work.
Recomend this company without any hesitation!
IK Home Improvements had been recommended by a colleague.
Based on several visits to discuss various repair options and the scope of the repairs, IK was chosen based on value and overall impression
Igor from IK was exceptionally pleasant and patient to deal with
The workmen arrived on schedule and finished on schedule.
The workmanship was excellent
Great care was taken to prevent damage to adjacent decks, flowers and shrubs
We received excellent service from a first-class company
When shopping around for quotes, interacting with contractors felt like pulling teeth. Half the companies I reached out to never responded, of those that did respond, some ghosted after the first interaction, of those that continued, some needed following up with to actually schedule a consultation, of those I consulted with, half were late or asked for a ridiculous number of reschedules, some required following up with to get a quote, and some just ghosted me after the follow ups. BY COMPARISON I think I heard back from Igor within a few hours of my initial inquiry, after a quick exchange to confirm availability, HE SENT A CALENDAR INVITE (literally no one else used this most basic of modern technology), and showed up 1 minute early/perfectly on time. After the consult I think I had a quote within 24 hours? To be honest, Igor had more or less won me over just based on this initial experience. If other companies were so difficult to communicate with when they could get money out of me, how could I trust them to communicate throughout the job?
This pattern held true throughout the work, Igor (and Alex) were both extremely communicative, our messages to each other throughout the job were typically answered in hours not days. The software they use for planning and tracking jobs was great! It was super easy to keep on top of any open discussions or task statuses, what was upcoming, etc. THE JOB FINISHED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. How often do you hear that?
We've been very happy with the quality of the work. The experience of working with Igor & IK was a joy. We'll be 100% using them for upcoming work.
