You’re in great hands
Meet the Founder
“Find something you love to do and make it a job.” — Christine DeFranco
I come from a background in retail, where it was my responsibility to drive sales and lead a large team. Since opening the doors of The Home Improvement Group several years ago, I have transferred that expertise to the world of renovations. Pushing past doubts and threats of failure from others, I show up with a diligent work ethic, ready to put my skills to the test. Over the years, I’ve fostered a tightly knit team of talented people who come to work for all the right reasons.
Each day brings new experiences and challenges, none of which I shy away from. I consider it my top priority to see your vision the way you do, and then provide you with expert design recommendations and advice that helps us all create the kind of solution that makes you smile ear to ear.
From demo to completion
The Home Improvement Group is with you every step of the way. We design, plan, tear down and build up. When demolition begins, we remove the old and neatly take everything away. Building new includes all tasks from framing, drywalling and painting, to electrical, plumbing and HVAC, to cabinetry, countertops, floors and closet organizers.
Certified and Insured
Employees and contractors are covered under WSIB, and all our work is fully insured. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing that no matter what happens on the job, there is the right coverage in place.
We stand behind our work
At The Home Improvement Group, we believe in treating our clients well. Just like family. And that means we provide fair and competitive pricing, and quality workmanship from beginning to end. Our projects are covered under a one-year warranty.
Full transparency
Open and honest communication is our hallmark. We never leave you in the dark or let a detail go undiscussed. From the moment we connect at the start of your project, to the moment we leave your home and close the door behind us, we are communicating with you openly, honestly and collaboratively.
Organized planning
Renovations call for a high level of organization and strategic scheduling. At The Home Improvement Group, we have an entire department dedicated to creating and managing project schedules behind the scenes. This ensures that the day the plumber is supposed to show up, he does. And the day the countertops are supposed to be installed in your brand-new kitchen, they are.

Giving back
We believe strongly in giving back and making a positive impact in our local communities. Hitting close to home, we have a giving back program we run each year in November where we invite the tens of thousands of people in our mailing list to share their stories. We choose one family in need to receive a full renovation from us at no charge. These are families who don’t have the basics. The things you and I take for granted they live without. Our team comes in to repair, refurbish, renovate, create new love and joy in the space, fill the fridge and buy Christmas gifts. At the end of the project, the family gets to enjoy a home that is safe and functional, just as it should be.
It’s a time of year we always look forward to because it puts smiles on clients’ faces and warmth in our hearts.
