The Step Up team did a fantastic job. Not just on time and exactly as discussed, they also ensured everything was left cleaned and in great condition. I will hire then again for any future remodel or similar work.

We cannot say enough good things about Step Up Home Improvements and Mehdi’s team. What they did to our home is absolutely incredible.
If you look at the before and after pictures, you’ll see how dark, outdated, and closed off the space used to be. Mehdi completely transformed it into a bright, modern, open-concept home that honestly feels twice as big. The new kitchen, the huge island, the lighting, the flooring, every detail was done beautifully.
From day one, the communication was clear and professional. We always knew what was happening, what the costs were, and what the timeline looked like. There were no surprises. The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and kept everything clean throughout the project.
What impressed us most was Mehdi’s vision. He didn’t just “renovate”, he elevated the entire space and increased the value of our home in a major way. Friends and family cannot believe this is the same house.
If you are looking for a contractor in Florida who is honest, detail-oriented, and truly cares about the final result, Step Up Home Improvements is the company to call. We would 100% hire them again.
Thank you for turning our house into something we are proud of. 🙌

Great experience working with Matt and his crew! Communication was exceptional down to every detail to be sure it’s what we wanted. The tear down crew was fast and tidy. John and his tile crew were exceptional and detail oriented. Over all we love our new bathroom!

We hired Step up Home Improvement LLC to update our three bathrooms. We chose them after reaching out to a number of different contractors for bids on the job. Matt and his crew did a wonderful job and their bid was very fair for what we wanted done which was a complete gut job on each bathroom. From start to finish the three we completed within 5 weeks. This may have taken a bit longer due to our schedules and some travel plans we had during the renovations.
Everyone who worked on our home was professional and extremely hard working through the entire process, especially those that installed the tile as we had invested a lot of money in our tile choices. I can't thank the tile installers enough for their time and attention to detail.
We are pleased with the outcome and believe that Step Up is a good choice especially if you are wanting more control of the design elements. We had a clear vision for what we wanted done in each bathroom and just needed professionals to execute what we had in our heads. They were more than willing to assist with design but we opted for doing that ourselves and providing them with all the tile and fixtures to bring our ideas to life. They accomplished that!

Thank you, Maya! We truly appreciate you choosing Step Up Home Improvements for the renovation of all three bathrooms. We’re glad our team was able to execute your vision and that you were happy with the quality of the tile work, attention to detail, and overall process. Completing three full bathroom remodels is a substantial project, so your feedback means a lot to Matt and the entire team. Thank you again for trusting us with your home and for taking the time to share your experience!
