Reviews

What our clients say

My family and I have had a long standing working relationship with Nico and Universal Solutions. His company has worked on several residential projects and one commercial project for us. Nico was referred to us by a family friend and we have been extremely pleased with the quality of his work, professionalism, and commitment to excellence. Nico also manages a great team of dedicated individuals (especially Edwin). They are timely, organized, and keep the site clean but are also great at troubleshooting and seeking alternatives to complex issues and unexpected conditions. Nico ensures you are completely satisfied with the outcome of your project. It has been a pleasure to work with someone with such focus, integrity, and high standards. I will be using them for any future needs and highly recommend them based on our outstanding experience.
Michelle T.Lake Wylie, SCBath, tile, deck, roof & exterior paint
Nico and his team completely renovated our bathroom. The closet was enlarged, insulation added, new floors, new window frame, new shower, new everything. We are extremely satisfied. His team was a pleasure to have in our home. Nico is awesome. We are using him for our kitchen remodel and some other projects. We would definitely recommend.
Amber O.Concord, NCBathroom remodel
We were privileged to have Universal Solutions renovate our dance studio. The workers were extremely professional and efficient! They were also super friendly, often working around our dancers and families, ensuring to clean up each day so that we could still operate during renovations. We were extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend!
