Let me start off by saying DO NOT HIRE Ryan A and his company for any renovation work. LONG STORY SHORT, HE DIDN'T EVEN FINISH HALF THE JOB, TOOK FULL PAYMENT, AND I HAD TO FIRE HIM!! But feel free to read below:
There is no professionalism, lack of communication, very poor time management skills, no accountability and workmanship is mediocre.
I hired him in Dec 2020, was told it will take 3 weeks, and even told him I was fine with 2 months. After 9 months (out of 9 months all combined, he spent less than a month total if you add up all the time, my 1B condo was still not completed. Payment was paid in full early on and every day his team would say they are coming to work, but then day after day it was a no show. The times when he showed, he would do less than an hour of work and then disappear again for days. For scheduled meeting times, he was always late or just didn't show up with no communication. Numerous times I would be waiting for him all day and by the end of the day his phone would just be turned off.
As for workmanship, his team demolished the place and did a very poor job with everything. From the flooring not being even, different shades of paint on the wall (one of his workers tried to fix an area by painting with his finger), tiles in washroom and kitchen were not placed evenly, they chipped the bathtub, paint was dripped all over the new flooring and after multiple attempts by cleaners, we now know its not removable. His team ruined the blinds for the windows, bought wrong size vanity for washroom, brought wrong size doors for all the rooms and the list goes on.
When asked if he could help install some appliances, they lost pieces from installation kits and would not take ownership for the mistakes.
If you don't want to lose your money or more importantly your time, DO NOT HIRE HIM.
