Urban Restoration

What an amazing experience! Not often you can say that about an entire house remodel but working with Victor and Reg was a great experience. This team is truly professional, starting with the bid process, the design, change orders and the final walk-through. They have a great team that is dedicated to quality and doing it right the first time. They also work extremely hard. They are there first thing in the morning and stay the entire day (I've not had many experiences like this). Victor was my point person through the project. He was great to work with, especially when discussing changes and design options. They have a very organized process for project changes. You know exactly what the cost will be and the length of time needed to make the change. What I really liked was seeing my project online using the Building Trend app. Victor updated it frequently so I knew exactly what was being done and when it would complete. Even with over 20 large change requests, Victor and team somehow managed to complete my house on schedule and within the budget given to me at the start. Great overall experience. I would highly recommend.

Reg and Victor are amazing! They are an incredible team and have decades of knowledge and experience. The entire process was very smooth and they were very easy and flexible to work with. The project came in under budget and on time. The billing was transparent and any questions were addressed and answered quickly. We have done a few different home remodels / projects over the years and realize many times you “get what you pay for”. We were interested in high quality although were working within a budget. We found them to be reasonably priced with exceptional quality (I am very detailed oriented). They always were a pleasure to work with and we have zero regrets. We would use them again in a heartbeat. Top notch and tremendous people. They get our highest recommendation. -Robin and Jennell

Urban Restoration is the best company for remodel we have ever used. After six homes, 8 updates we have seen the best and worst out there. We have used UR for our past two updates and have one more phase on the calendar. Reg and Victor are top of class and their crew provides the best workmanship we’ve experienced. If you have an opportunity to use them—take it!!!

Very polite , responsive and excellent work. I had 7 windows that needed replacement . Team did a great job and final cost on project was exactly what original bid was

Urban Restoration is the best! They have remodeled our kitchen/downstairs and 2 bathrooms and did an excellent job! They aLao remodeled a friend’s house almost completely and it’s beautiful. Impeccable work, on time, close attention to details. I highly recommend them!!

The did a beautiful job on our master bedroom and master bath remodel. I would definitely recommend them for any kind of work you want to have done.

We have a bathroom that is original to our 26 year old house that needed updating. We decided to remove the tub and put in a walk-in shower. We also had new cabinets, toilet, mirror, wall and floor tile installed. We decided to ask Victor and his team at Urban Restoration to do our project after seeing and hearing about the excellent quality of their work in our own neighborhood. We appreciated that after we chose all of our materials they took care of ordering them and did not start the project until everything was in. Once they started Victor and his workers were knowledgeable, responsive to any questions we had. and always respectful of our home by making sure to clean up every day before they left. We also liked that he worked closely with our designer, Michelle Wilkins. She has helped us with some other projects before. All of them beautifully done and beyond our expectations. Both Victor and Michelle’s attention to detail was impressive and appreciated. True professionals all! Our new bath was completed on time and is gorgeous! We love it. A big THANK YOU to Urban Restoration and Michelle Wilkins!

Read on if you wish, but let me just say from the get go that this company is everything you would hope for when searching for professionals that are going to create your dream renovation on time, on budget and with exceptional detail in both the planning and execution of the work. My husband and were planning a master suite renovation and it was suggested by our designer Provanti Designs to meet with Urban Restoration. Reg from UR didn't want anything to be quoted before investigating what laid behind our fireplace and just as well as a LOT was revealed. We were explained our options which we were happy with and then proceeded with the work. It was quoted as a 9 week renovation and they were right on time. There were some minor budget changes along the way (due to us requesting additional work) which were dealt with via the BuilderTrend app which was a great tool to have as we could see what was going on at all times. The communication from the UR staff was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. (I actually don't think anyone at UR knows how to say know to a client request). UR have some tradespeople on staff who were such hard workers and very detail oriented. Several were regulars in our home throughout the entire renovation but I have to give a shout out to the tiling contractors that UR brought in. They were incredibly meticulous and as we had a lot of tile, we could not have been happier for their efforts. Any mess was cleaned up on a daily basis including outside the house. We love our new bedroom and bathroom and if we ever consider a new renovation, we'll be calling Urban Restoration for sure.

The team of Victor from Urban Restoration did the power washing of my driveway, patio and walkway. Victor and the team are very professional and did an excellent job. Andrii is very polite and hardworking. My driveway looks like new. Job well done. I can recommend this company. Martha Schindler

Urban Restoration (UR) is the real deal. UR far exceeded our expectations on a recent remodel. We used UR to remodel our Matthew’s Beach home, after seeing the great craftsmanship they did in remodeling our parent’s Kirkland, WA home. Our parent’s found them as UR was featured on the best of the 425, and they really are! We had the incredible custom designs of Michelle, and smooth collaboration with Victor and UR from the start of the design process. Everything is custom, individualized, and really takes into the character of your home (in our case building upon and modernizing on the unique character of an original 1904 Seattle beach cottage). Urban Restoration takes care of the entire process from sourcing the materials, to putting in the final touches. Victor, Michelle, and the whole team at Urban Restoration treated us like family. No detail was left untouched. From an incredibly detailed estimate to lie out the scope of the project, to coming in ahead of schedule, we were blown away by the professionalism. You can trust that your project will be everything you dreamed and better with Urban Restoration. There is a reason Urban Restoration is remodeling some of the best homes on the Eastside. They have a substantial crew of craftsman who go above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. If you are looking for the best contractor in the area, look no further. We are already looking forward to the day when we can use Urban Restoration for the next phase of our remodel project!

Over the years we’ve remodeled several times. The contractor we last used was now retired, so we started down the path of asking friends for referrals, searching the web and making calls to potential project managers. Our remodel job included: replacing approximately 1,100 sqf of tile floor with hardwood floors (including new moulding), installing new doors and hardware throughout the house, and updating three bathrooms (lighting, mirrors, plumbing, slab countertops, etc.). Some contractors returned our calls, some did not, one agreed to do the project then became unreachable for three weeks. Finally we called our designer Virginia Stamey (who we should have called in the beginning) and she referred us to Reg Willing and Victor Ruzhin and their company Urban Restoration (UR). Virginia indicated they have been in business a long time, she had worked with them on projects before and had met / spoke to a number of their clients before choosing them herself. From the beginning we were impressed, they were patient, reviewed the project carefully and offered many suggestions/ modifications that were very helpful. They created a budget and time line for us. Having remodeled before, and knowing the supply chain issues caused by Covid - we mentally added 20% to the cost and 3 weeks to the 6 week timeline they created. We didn’t need to. They came in on time and on budget despite delays in items ordered, the normal bumps in the road that come up, and our adding several “additional improvements” along the way. As with any remodeling project unexpected issues/ changes come up but Reg, Victor, and Michelle were always up to the task, communicated quickly and effectively and, even more importantly, made sure we were happy with the end results. They are true professionals and it showed through every step of the project. Their carpenters, plumber, and electricians were very respectful of our home and competent in their trade. I would highly recommend Urban Restoration for any job you have and definitely use them again in the future! Thank you again Reg, Victor, Michelle and crew!
