Raakss Reno

My wife and I had planned to do all the kitchen renovation by ourselves - all except the granite installation - but by the time we were done with all the cabinets - we were exhausted! Plus, we did not have much experience with tile installation so we decided to ask around in Newmarket for local contractors who were available in short order(We wanted the kitchen work finished and kitchen back to normal as soon as possible :-)). After reading reviews on homestars, Robbie from RAAKSS stopped by (he lives closeby) for a quote.

He is a pleasant person to talk to and we got along very quickly. We discussed with him, the design that my wife and I had selected, and we soon realized that it was one of the more labor intensive ones around. Robbie gave some good suggestions and we took them under consideration. The biggest one was that if we were go with a simpler design he could come in and take care of the work the very next weekend. We were thrilled about that possibility!

After figuring a simpler design, Robbie confirmed and showed up around the appointed hour in the morning, the next weekend. He got to work and pretty much continued through the afternoon without a break. It was quality work done with very little tile wastage. One of the things we really liked was that he continued the tile pattern unbroken from wall-to-wall, around the switch plates and behind the stove.

He was back the next day to finish the job. The only reason we are giving him a 9/10 is because we felt he was a bit on the pricey side for 1.5 days of work. But the work done is a quality job and we are happy with that. Recommended!
