Illya and his team did an amazing job on our kitchen backsplash! They were incredibly easy and pleasant to work with—always kind, patient, and professional throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is excellent, and the attention to detail really shows. I highly recommend Illya for any home improvement projects. In fact, we just worked with him again on our next small kitchen project. That’s how much we trust and appreciate his work!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is transparent and based on the scope and complexity of each project. I offer package rates for standard services and custom quotes for unique requests. I also offer discounts for long-term or repeat clients. Any additional fees, such as rush work or revisions beyond the agreed number, are clearly outlined in advance.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I start with a discovery call or meeting to understand the client’s needs, goals, and timeline. Then, I prepare a customized proposal or plan. Once approved, I begin the project with clear milestones and regular updates, ensuring the client stays informed and involved throughout the process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have formal training in [insert degree, certification, or courses here if applicable], along with years of hands-on experience. I also regularly stay updated with the latest industry tools and trends through workshops, online courses, and peer collaboration to ensure I bring the most current knowledge to every project.
