We are so fortunate to have selected Philip Rechsteiner Construction Ltd., from several companies asked to provide estimates for replacing our 2 level deck around a hot tub. From our first meeting, to final reveal we were confident in our choice. When other estimators took up to a week, his detailed and comprehensive quote was returned in one day. He and his team were reliable, personable and approachable and communication was always clear with no surprises. All workers were respectful, considerate, COVID conscious, with attention to detail second to none. We were consulted along the way, with any needed decisions, and Philip was open to our suggestions and changes requested. No money was required in advance, with our first instalment requested after a week of construction. All invoices were detailed, accurate and clear. Philip has a successful business future, and we highly recommend his company as a general contractor. Our outdoor oasis is beautiful.

We had an enclosed deck which has needed repairing several times over the years due to water damage. This time, however we hired Rechsteiner Const. and Philip, who guided us through a different design that would allow proper drainage to prevent rotting and black mold seeping into the garage below.
The team of workers were very hard working, extremely competent, very accommodating and so friendly. They are such professionals that several neighbours commented on their work ethic.
With our invoice Philip included a copy of his expenses, all employee labour hours and any other expenses he incurred. The final cost was fair and better than I was expecting after the additions we made. Philip was readily available if we had any questions or concerns.
We are very happy with the end result which blends in nicely with the existing structure and we would highly recommend Rechsteiner Construction for any job you need done.

As an interior designer, working with Philip is a wonderful experience. He is professional, positive and has a great work ethic. I was often impressed with his solutions based approach to on site problem solving that kept the project moving smoothly. His communication is clear and accurate, and clients appreciate the consistency they got from him and his team. We worked together on a renovation that started small and ended up becoming a comprehensive interior and exterior large renovation project. A very happy client (and designer!) Highly recommend.

I found them extremely easy and pleasant to deal with, they started and finished projects on time and their employees and the people they contracted with were helpful and did high quality work. I recommend them highly and expect to use them again in the future for other projects.

Philip and his team did an excellent job in running a project to update a few areas in my home. He is a true professional, as he paid great attention to detail, took pride in his work, and kept my wife and I posted with the progress every step of the way. He ensured that his team completed the project on time, and on budget. We will use Rechsteiner Construction again!

Philip completed a whole home renovation for us and coordinated all aspects of the job. He is professional and will guide you through the process. We really appreciated his expertise in construction. Our job was wide in scope and demanded creative solutions. We built a second interior staircase, added a roof to enclose an upper deck, and poured a new concrete pad for the sinking garage. We also changed all the floors, windows and updated the kitchen and bathrooms. Our job also included the exterior work – hardscaping, landscaping, grading and lowering the pitch of our driveway. Philip meticulously planned every aspect of the renovation, careful to ensure the new blended with the existing structure. He is honest and will provide good insight. He is truly interested in quality construction and will take the time to explain the process to the homeowner. We are so pleased Philip took on our project!

We hired Rechsteiner Construction to perform a bathroom renovation as well as some additional minor renovations around the house. We are extremely pleased with the final product. Furthermore, Philip Rechsteiner was a pleasure to work with. He was clear about the work that needed to be done, answered all of our questions, provided insightful recommendations, and had an incredible attention to detail. We will definitely be hiring Rechsteiner Construction for our next renovation.

As an electrician with over 35 years in the construction industry I was particular with the type and quality of work a contractor would do. After interviewing several contracors for our kitchen renovation project, we are very happy we chose Rechsteiner Construction. From the first meeting, Philip brought to our attention details of the project that other contractors did not .
He not only completed the project on schedule but was able to do so with addtional work required by the City of Vancouver. But most importantly the quality of work, and the product ,
exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Philip and Rechsteiner Construction.

We had our outdated kitchen totally renovated by Philip Rechsteiner and his company. The result is a gorgeous, peaceful modern kitchen! We highly recommend his company! The work ethic that he and his people displayed was exceptional. We had used Philip for a smaller remodel so we're totally confident in hiring him for our large project.

Philip is a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to recommend Rechsteiner Construction. His attention to detail, responsiveness and transparency with information was a refreshing relief from other contractors we've hired. Inevitably, unexpected hurdles come up in a reno of this size and Philip's calm and professional demeanor, as well as his knowledge and resourcefulness, made it as smooth and seamless as possible for us. Philip took full responsibility for coordinating every aspect of the reno, provided us with frequent updates and provided expert guidance for decisions we had to make regarding plumbing, cabinetry, electrical and structure. Budget-wise Philip's pricing outline was thorough, reasonable and on target. When we reno another property we'll be calling Philip for certain.

Phil and his crew of talented craftsmen did an amazing job on my place. They created a funky, loft-style basement suite that I love. Phil Rechsteiner came highly recommended and I concur. They met the time line and the budget. There are a couple of things I especially want to mention over and above the actual work they did: one is how respectful Phil and his crew were and how easy Phil made it by keeping the lines of communication open at all times. Furthermore, Phil had many design suggestions, for instance, barn doors, that won rave reviews! Also, I am grateful for the respect and consideration they gave to my ideas and how they were able to incorporate so many of them. I would recommend Phil to anyone. Five stars from me.

We hired Philip and his team to help with our home renovation. We renovated our kitchen, dining room, living room and foyer. Philip is very detailed, responsive and easy to work with. He would address our concerns quickly, offer advice when needed but also respect our decisions. He finished the initial project specified on time. We already have referred him to our family and friends.

My Dream Master Bathroom Renovation
Rechsteiner Construction Ltd is an excellent company that strives to fully satisfy. We had our master bathroom completely renovated. Phil (the owner of the company) has an amazing attention to detail and was incredibly responsive. The first thing Phil would do when he would start in the morning was ask me if I had any concerns or questions for him. He would then make sure any of my concerns we fully taken care of and all my questions answered. Phil has trustworthy, courteous and hardworking group of craftsman that work for him. Phil made sure the project stay on schedule. Phil far exceeded all of our expectations and we would immediately turn to him if we were to have any additional renovation needs and would recommend him and his company without reservation.

Philip was recommended to us by a relative in the business, and we were more than impressed by his work.
We had a basement reno that involved a new bathroom, a laundry room and an open storage/extra space room that required finishing. As well, our upper floor had a very old and original bathroom that was in sore need of a redo.
The plumbing in the basement required digging up the floor and cement to have it levelled and for refinishing properly,The door from outside had ro be moved to accomodate a much larger bathroom. The outside wall was stucco, so that had to be finished in keeping with the look of the exterior.
Both bathrooms were gutted and required new fixtures; toilets, glass shower surround,sink and cabinet down and soaker tub , toilet and cabinet sink up, Both had new tile floors, and finely tiled shower/tub surrounds. Windows were removed and redone. All painting, electrical, plumbing, doors, fixtures and all refinishing was accomplished by Philip and his crew.
The laundry had to be moved to accomodate the new washer and dryer.
Needless to say, the job was complicated.
The end result is a basement reno that is, in my mind, perfect! The bathrooms are beautiful. I am very happy to have full bragging rights, and I love taking friends and relatives on the tour.
Without hesitation, we highly recommend Reichteiner Construction to all!

I have no hesitation to recommend Philip for a kitchen and bathroom remodel. He demonstrated an in depth and professional knowledge of the proper materials to use for preparing the sub floors and wall surfaces. He hired excellent subtrades for the plumbing, installation of the shower enclosure, flooring, tiling and countertops. Philip took care to protect the floors and walls that weren't being remodelled. He kept the work site as clean as possible. The project came in on budget and on time.
