We were unsure how to start the project. The Improved Home provided a full project management service, very professional throughout. We were advised on the best approach, kept informed of progress and they were always available to explain any aspect of the project we were not clear about. We are very happy. I would not hesitate to recommend The Improved Home.

Having never done a home improvement project before, we were worried about being ripped off by a cowboy builder, so finding a reliable team was vital. The project was managed professionally, without any hassle. The Improved Home were polite, patient, prompt and hard working. They went above and beyond to ensure a successful project. We are delighted with our new extension and would recommend.
