I bought my condo in spring of last year, and it had been built in 2000 so it needed an upgrade. Also the kitchen was L-shaped and offered little storage so along with new floors/bathroom I had planned to knock out the L shape, built the kitchen along the wall and add in an island. I also added in a dropped ceiling so I could have pot lights and pendant lights installed in the kitchen. What made me choose Urban Studio to begin with was the way their contract was laid out. It broke down exactly how much was allocated to each task/material so if I choose a more expensive countertop I'd pay extra, or is a less expensive one I'd receive a credit (and I ended up receive some credits and upgrading the countertop so their pricing was pretty on par). The contract was transparent - other ones I had received were cheaper only because they didn't include any material so I really had no idea how much I'd be spending overall. I stayed on budget I should add. It was a major renovation in a small space, and I also lived there throughout which wasn't ideal. But every day the workers would make sure the place was tidy when I came home. There was one small problem with the vanity, the wrong size was installed, but before I could have a freak-out Joseph was already on the phone with the 3rd party installer getting it sorted out. He was great, making sure everything was done perfectly. The finished product is amazing - even better than I could have imagined. The plumbing/electrical work was all down well, no issues. It was a relatively easy process for me, well as 'easy' as a renovation can be! I would highly recommend Urban Studio. There were incredibly professional, the process was very transparent and the work that was done was amazing!
