We're a team of passionate renovation experts dedicated to transforming spaces with precision, creativity, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Established in 2010, Imbirnaya Shokoladka began as a small family-owned business with a simple mission: to provide high-quality renovation services that transform houses into dream homes. Our founder, Michael Thompson, had spent over a decade working in the construction industry and noticed a gap in the market for renovation services that truly prioritized the client's vision and quality craftsmanship.
What started as a small team of three professionals has now grown into a full-service renovation company with over 25 skilled craftsmen, designers, and project managers. Despite our growth, we've stayed true to our original values of personalized service, attention to detail, and uncompromising quality.
The name "Imbirnaya Shokoladka" (meaning "Ginger Chocolate" in Russian) reflects our approach to home renovation—combining the warm, inviting essence of ginger with the rich, luxurious quality of fine chocolate. It's a reminder that renovations should be both functional and beautiful, creating spaces that feel like home.
