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

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.

Our Home Remodeling Process
We begin by understanding what is not working in the existing space and what you want to achieve. We review the property, discuss priorities, budget and scope, and help shape the project direction. When structural engineers, architects, building designers or other specialists are required, IK can coordinate them or work with professionals selected by the client.
The project scope is developed into a detailed Statement of Work that identifies the agreed work, responsibilities, materials or allowances, budget and anticipated schedule. Drawings, professional services and permit requirements are coordinated where applicable. Purchasing responsibilities are also established at this stage, together with practical construction considerations such as access, working hours, dust control, utility interruptions and whether temporary relocation may be advisable.
IK coordinates the day-to-day construction activities, crews, scheduling, materials, technical information, site safety and workmanship. Required municipal inspections are scheduled at the appropriate stages when permits apply. If concealed conditions are discovered after demolition or opening existing construction, we document the issue, explain the available options and identify any effect on cost or schedule before additional work proceeds.
When the agreed construction work is substantially complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with you. Outstanding items are identified and addressed, and the site is cleared of construction materials, waste and debris so the completed space is ready for use.
Project sign-off confirms that the agreed work and closeout requirements have been completed. Final documentation and payment are completed in accordance with the contract, and the applicable warranty period begins. Renovation warranty terms are stated in the project contract. For qualifying new homes, applicable Ontario statutory warranty requirements apply. Clients are also invited to provide feedback through our customer satisfaction survey.
Our engineer will help determine the next steps.
