Bathroom Renovations

We chose RAAKSS because we were impressed with Robbie's pleasant but professional manner when he promptly arrived to give us a quote on gutting and renovating two bathrooms. His quote was in line with another reasonable one we had received, and we were comfortable with the detailed contract that provided us with a price for his labour. Once Robbie began our project, he arrived reliably every day, progressing methodically from one stage to the next quite quickly. It was important to have all the materials we provided (i.e., tiles, fixtures and accessories) on hand to not slow Robbie down, but he was flexible when there was a brief delay in receiving an item. He demonstrated his expertise by solving issues that came up, such as our purchase of a freestanding bathtub intended for installation while a home is being built! We would advise making use of Robbie's knowledge and experience by asking for his recommendations for important items you will require prior to purchasing them. Robbie completed our two bathrooms in the predicted time, at the quoted price, and they look beautiful! He didn't abandon us when the shower enclosure we purchased refused to co-operate, persisting with solutions until we were satisfied with the results. It was a pleasure to work with Robbie and we would gladly do so again. In fact, we have already recommended RAAKSS to friends. Thanks Robbie!

Bathroom Renovation

Robbie renovated my bathroom for me 6 months ago and it still looks phenomenal! I have a very small bathroom and he helped me to make it feel much larger by converting the tub into a shower, installing a smaller vanity and toilet, and removing the door to install a sliding barn door. I had a very specific vision of what I wanted and Robbie was able to execute this perfectly while still making very helpful suggestions. I love the heated floors!! He also resolved ventilation issues and water damage while still finishing on time and on budget. Thanks Robbie!

Powder Room Build

We hired Robbie to put a powder room where we had previously had a closet on our main floor. It was a tight space, but he made it work. We had a number of other quotes which ranged from the absurd to the impractical. Robbie walked us through how we might make it work (without moving walls and staircases), and helped guide us through material selection and layout. They did a great job - handled all parts of the job - and were in and out on time and on budget. He also suggested installing a heated floor, which is an upgrade we thank him for all the time! Would absolutely h

New Bathroom in Newmarket

Back in 2011, I requested Robbie to give me a quote on a replacement bathroom stall. His quote was little more than some of the other quotes. He was also not available when we wanted it done (which was urgent). So we got the lowest quote and got not 1 but 3 bathroom stalls done. Each shower stall ended up costing the same as Robbie’s single quote and the workmanship was shoddy and horrible looking. Fast forward to 2018 and my son hears water entering the living room downstairs. “Oh no” the showers sprung a leak. Instead of me calling a new set of contractors I called Robbie and said do you remember the 2011 quote well, he didn’t. Anyway I asked him to come over again and it worked that the entire stall had been put in a way that the leak, was the only way out for the water. So a new bathroom was in order.
The job Robbie did was superb. Everything we asked for even those things we went against his advice e.g. a taller backsplash he kindly and methodically fitted with no complaints. His work was not cheap but the perfection and precision was impeccable. I guess you get what you pay for. Robbie and his son Andrew are a dynamic duo and we can only give 10 Stars and nothing else. That’s what you get when you hire a real professional.

bathroom reno

We finally decided that a bathroom reno was due when our cast iron bathtub dated 1913 sprung a leak. Obviously a renovation was long overdue. Enter Robbie and Andrew . Thanks to them the reno was completed in 3 weeks , done efficiently and professional. Both are so personable and approachable, it was easy to ask questions. Would recommend RAAKSS to anyone, thanks!!!

Master Bathroom Renovation

We called RAAKSS to quote on renovating our master bathroom earlier this year prior to selling and wish we had called them way, way earlier so we could have spent more time enjoying the beautiful "after!" RAAKSS replaced the tile floor, fixed up the drywall, installed new vanity, toilet and other fixtures in conjunction with another company who refinished the tub and installed a new glass enclosure. The 2-man crew was fast, efficient and super tidy. They did a phenomenal job and were a total 180 degrees from past contractors we've had work on other jobs around the house. Highly, highly recommend!

Bathroom Reno

We are so thrilled with our bathroom renovation. We live in a 60+ year old home and were concerned about what might be behind the walls, but Robbie handled everything. Robbie had some great suggestions for our initial design and everything was done on time and on budget. We would definitely recommend RAAKSS for any bathroom renovations and will be calling them when it's time to do the other bathrooms in our home.

Small bathroom reno

The price includes aĺl the tiles and fixtures etc. and the labour. They worked quickly, and cleaned up nicely every day. Robbie talked through all the options with me and was really friendly and straightforward. I felt informed the entire time. I would absolutely recommend them, and look forward to being able to work with them in the future again.

Bathroom Reno

Robbie and his son Andrew did a very solid renovation for my tiny basement bathroom, but it was their after-project service that really impressed me. They had to return several times because of a leaky sink problem, which they eventual figured out was due to a flaw in the drain mold of the sink. They removed the sink and I soon as I got a replacement, they immediately returned to fix it once and for all. Robbie never left me hanging and I never had to call him twice. How often does that happen with contractors? 5 stars for service!

Two bathroom reno

Robbie and his son Andrew renovated two bathrooms for us (master and powder room) and we would definitely recommend them. They did the work quickly and efficiently, but with a lot of care and a strong commitment to quality results. Our house is 97 years old - the walls aren't straight, the plumbing is wacky, etc. But Robbie and Andrew found ways to work around these issues, and our bathrooms came out perfect. They are also just generally nice guys and a pleasure to work with (they were also very kind to our cats!). We really appreciated that they were quick to answer texts and discuss urgent things with us.

We got a few quotes before deciding to hire RAAKSS, and they gave us the best price. However, it is important to note that their quote was just for the labour and construction materials. We were left in control of all of the design decisions, such as choosing and buying the tiles, light fixtures, vanities, mirrors, faucets, accessories, etc. This was perfect for us because we like doing that sort of thing, and we came up with ideas that we really like. But, if you're looking for someone to help you with those decisions and supply the materials (and you're willing to pay a hefty premium for it), then RAAKSS might not be the right way to go.

Our total costs ended up being about $17,400 for labour, and about $4,000-$5,000 for materials. Pretty sure we saved a lot by doing the design elements ourselves.

We would definitely recommend Robbie and Andrew for any labour or construction work, especially with bathrooms. They're the best contractors we've worked with and we would work with them again in a heartbeat.
