RBW Construction

We hired RBW to finish our basement. We appreciate that Richard and Darlene listened to what we wanted and worked with us from start to finish to achieve those expectations. They were professional and did their best to stay on schedule working within the confines of the COVID pandemic. We were extremely pleased with the workmanship and are very happy with our beautiful, new basement.

We contracted RBW to develop our small basement. We had originally planned on doing a DIY job, but then opted to have professional help for the most crucial steps. Why I chose RBW: I contacted a few companies and RBW was one of the quickest replies. They were MILES ahead of the other companies in regards to speed, accuracy and thoroughness of their quote. Their prices were very competitive, they are insured, and hold quite a few impressive awards. The reason I chose them was because their communication was VERY good. They followed up quickly and appropriately. They provided complete information, and were great at negotiating and managing expectations. What I got: RBW completed the drafting, framing, electrical, drywall and mud/tape/sanding for us. We took over for the finishing work (my partner did finishing construction for work back in the day, so we wanted to do this.) I was really glad that RBW was willing to negotiate this unique contract with us. Timeline: Drafting- 2 business days Framing- 3 days Electrical- 2 half days Drywall- 1 day Mud/Tape/Sanding- 2 days Bonuses: I definitely noticed a few gold-star moments from RBW. 1) They were willing to do a 'partial' build. 2) Richard and Darlene were THE NICEST people to speak to, they made it super easy to talk through expectations/money/etc. 3) ALL the RBW contractors/team members were very respectful of our home, COVID restrictions, etc. 4) We have two small children. So having contractors in and out is really disruptive to our day-to-day. As mentioned above, the amount of time we had contractors IN OUR HOUSE was surprisingly low. They worked really fast, which was a relief, from a comfort perspective. 5) The electrician, plumber, and Richard, were all willing to share tips of their trades, and went out of their way to answer questions I had, even if these weren't part of their 'job.' 6) RBW was available during our painting phase if we noticed any imperfections in the sanding (which we didn't. Honestly, the most crisp, sexy corners I've ever seen!) In general, I feel reassured that RBW will stand behind their work. Cons: The ONLY cons I have are as such... I'm grabbing at the little things here, 1) There was a delay in our electrical inspection, but this was due to complications from our original plan to DIY the job. Our permit application was personal, but then when we switched to professional, which caused a hiccup and delay. 2) We didn't think to talk about the laundry corner that had been previously developed, in retrospect, I should have asked RBW to re-do this wall to put the washer/dryer hookups behind the wall. But again, this wasn't an error of RBW, this was ME missing something. Overall, I am over the moon happy with the service and craftsmanship we got! 10000% will be (and have already been) recommending them to everyone. I've included photos of the framing and drywall. Bonus photos of it painted so you can see how crisp the drywall looks! Thanks for reading

We chose RBW after some exhaustive research on contractors in the city to reno the main floor/master bedroom of our house, everything but the basement really. From our first meeting with Richard and his wife Darlene we felt confident and excited. This was a huge reno with lots of demo, they removed a bedroom and reinforced the vaulted ceiling. The large window in the existing kitchen was moved to the opposite side of the house for the new dining room. The back sliding door was removed for a hinged door. The main floor and master bathroom were gutted and redone. Vinyl flooring was installed throughout. The front door was replaced. Lastly this amazing kitchen which is everything we could have hoped for! All his guys are skilled and professional. 100% will be contacting him again to do the basement.

I would highly recommend RBW Construction for any and all of your renovation needs. We were extremely happy with Richard and his crew on our recent Bathroom renovations and we couldn't be happier with our finished look.

We called RWB construction when we purchased our first home for some Reno’s Richard was amazing and came out and quoted and prepared a very actuate quote for the Bathrooms we wanted gutted and remodelled. We had every trade possible in our house and they were all very professional and helpful. We even added numerous things along the way and they were very accommodating to our requests. We have a mezzanine been taken care of In the near future as well and can’t wait to continue our business relationship with Richard and his team.

Richard and his contractors did a great job finishing our basement. As we have an older home there were some problems that came up. But all of these were addressed promptly and efficiently. We would definitely use them again.

Great job. Richard and his subcontractors did an excellent job of renovating my basement. He worked with us to get us the best price for all the work we needed done. The work was completed in the time frame quoted. We are looking forward to working with this company again.
