R&M General Contracting

When I was looking for someone to install hardwood flooring and hardwood stairs into my entire house, I came across R&M contracting, so I gave them a call. My house has some rather unusually shaped rooms, so I didn’t know how well it could be done. After the call, the staff from R&M came over and told me how it could be done and how long it would take. The numbers they gave satisfied me, so I decided to hire them. During the installation I gave specific instructions on how I wanted the floor and stairs done, and so we discussed possible ways of finishing them. Even while making minor tweaks to the original plan along the way, everything was completed by the predicted time without any hiccups. If I ever need to do anymore hardwood installation in my house, I’ll be sure to call up R&M as they have proven to me to be a flexible, professional and experienced company.

I hired R&M after speaking with Slava on the phone about my bathroom renovations. Since I work in the industry, I am pretty particular about standards, guidelines and quality of work. Slava was quick to turn around a reasonable quote and started work on my bathroom almost immediately.
I had some concerns about space saving in my tiny bathroom, so Slava and his team constructed some built-in storage into my shower and recommended some ideas about storage solutions.
The job site was left clean at the end of every day and his staff were so friendly and respectful. I will definitely call them again when I want to renovate my kitchen! Thanks again Slava!

We called R&m and got a quick quote over the phone with the contractor. We agreed with tge price and they came the next day to start the job.
It was complete in 5 days and looked amazing. It was a clean job and we are very happy with the outcome. Thanks guys!

After my friends had hired them to do some plumbing work, they recommended them to me. R&M put up an extra wall for me, painted it and did some minor rewiring, I was very happy with the result! Everything was completed on time without issue as they had predicted (thank you). Pricing was fair and service was friendly. As my friends have, I would recommend you hire R&M whenever you need something done, you will not be disappointed.

Hvac, framing, drywall, hardwood, tapingredients, painting, Tiles. We are were happy with the price and quality of work. Everything was complete in a timely matter. It was a pleasure to have R&m guys do work in our house.
We recommend them.
Thanks.

Found R&M through Homestars and so glad we did! We worked with a few different contractors for a complete basement reno. R&M is great company to work with. Our basement reno looks amazing. Highly recommend them!! Thank-you Slava.

As a female rental property owner, I was thrilled to have found R&M to complete the renovation work needed to attract prime tenants. I was initially happy to find a contractor willing to give me an estimate for a smaller job. I was immediately assured by Slava and Emil's pragmatic approach: they had great suggestions on which renovations to undertake so the space looks good and will withstand the wear and tear from renters. They were very helpful during all stages of the renovation: they came with me to hardware stores to choose the materials and were happy to take on many additional jobs that I asked for after the work started. I quickly realized that they could do "small jobs" in minutes which would take me hours to do myself. Although they had other jobs lined up next, they did not hesitate to take on these extra projects so my place was complete.
I am very happy with the quality of the work. The main bathroom looks great... I wish it was in my house! They returned a few times to make sure the paint was even throughout, and saw more touch-ups than I did. The job was completed within the timeline and budget we agreed to, despite having to work around some of my previous tenant's stuff.
The total scope of the job: full renovation of main bathroom, update to powder room, laminate floor and carpet installation, complete interior painting, light fixture replacement and a bunch of other small jobs.
I definitely recommend R&M for any home renovations.

I hired R&M General Contracting to build One Bedroom Basement Apartment in my house. Highly professional, quick, and enjoyable team! They have done everything, from framing to setting up the laminante floors. I highly recommend them. Tatiana

Two weeks ago I hired this guy's to do renovation on second floor in my house ( 3 bedrooms, 2 washrooms ). Thous guys so quick and quality on high level. I'm glad that I found this company.

We hired R&M to renovate 2 bedrooms in our home and had a very disappointing experience. For starters, Slava underquoted the cost and timing so we ended up paying 20% more and it took twice as long, even though the scope of the project never changed (the other contractors that quoted had included the "missing items" in their quotes). His crew also left our home very messy, they did not take precautions to keep the dirt contained during the demo (we requested this before they started) so that even the rooms on a different floor were covered in thick dust and left us unable to stay in our home. Despite this, the most disappointing part was that the quality of the work was very poor. The closets they built for us are undersized (the openings are non-standard and do not fit the doors we provided). The ceiling is uneven, the walls they built are not square, and the floors are not level. Overall his crew was very slow, made constant mistakes, and had to be reminded 3 or 4 times of what needed to be done (we had to stay home from work to keep reminding them). Slava also kept trying to convince us to cut corners to get the job done quicker, saying things like "you don't need window casings". This was not our first time renovating, we have renovated nearly every room in our home and hired many contractors and this was our worst experience by far. If only we could go back and pick a more capable contractor...

Edit: Response to R&M Comments:
1. Quoted time was 1 week but the job took 9 days and still didn’t include the hardwood installation or baseboards or closet doors. Therefore there is no exaggeration in saying “twice” as long
2. When you came to quote the job, we said we wanted to “gut everything, rebuild from scratch” so I am not sure why you assumed the old floor could stay. The other 2 contractors that quoted clearly stated on their written quote “new subfloor”. Nevertheless, we split the cost with you anyway
3. You mentioned in your response that we had no framing and you had to build it, but then you say you could not make the walls square with “existing framing”. Which is it? If all of the exterior walls and closet walls were built from scratch, why couldn’t they be built to proper size and perpendicularity?
4. The finished opening widths for the closets are 47.5” for one and 47” for the other. The closet doors are 24” each and need an extra ½” in clearance. This math simply does not add up. If you don’t believe me then please come measure yourself
5. I did not realize that we had to specifically and explicitly request that the quality level of the work be adequate and not poor. You should mention this when you provide quotes for jobs
6. Finally, insulting our home and insulting me for being pregnant do not provide any basis for your arguments. All of the statements in my review are easily verifiable either visually or by using a measuring tape
