RMB Renovations

"When we moved into this house, the existing staircase was wrought iron and didn't do anything for first impressions. You not only made recommendations for improvement, you also directed me to the right suppliers and then completed the job. We were very pleased with the final result. The ultimate compliment came when the prior owner stopped by to pick up her mail. She and her daughter took one look and expressed how much they loved the new staircase. They said it was something that they had wanted. Your hard work and dedication to a job well done is evident and much appreciated. "
- Joan and John Davies

"RMB Renovations installed laminate flooring, carpet and new trim throughout my house prior to moving in. I was impressed by their speed, attention to detail, ability to complete the job within the rushed timeframe and limited budget. Later Rob and his crew removed a balcony, replaced the patio doors and built an extensive deck with a staircase to the very sloped backyard. Rob offered a lot of great advice in terms of what materials to use, where to purchase the materials as well as ways to improve the functionality of the design. When it was time to sell the house I had RMB back again to paint the majority of the house and install a new front door. The work that RMB Renovations completed for me at that residence greatly improved the home and its value. The team was easy to work with, straight forward and I highly recommend them."
- J. Edwards of Sommerset Cres.

"If you are looking for an honest, hardworking , man to do your renovation, I would highly recommend Rob from RMB. Rob has worked for us in two different homes. Work is completed at a high standard of excellence. It is a pleasure to have Rob in your home.Would welcome anyone who wishes to phone for a verbal confirmation. I sum " Rob up as" "It is nice to be important" "but it is important to be nice.""

"Do want to emphasise my thanks for the fine work you completed on the master bathroom renovation and exceptional tiling work of the basement floor of my condominium. Since I have had 25 years' experience of various local contractors' work, the high quality, attention to details and responsiveness to discuss minor changes as well as keeping to a tight schedule within budget were exemplary. Furthermore the initiative you showed to offer expert advice on all areas of construction was much appreciated. My only concern is that with writing such high recommendations I might not be so fortunate in the future to access RMB renovations due to too high a demand for your services. I am hoping that former customers may be given greater priority in your busy schedule!"
- Dr. Jane Baldock, 1 Place d'Armes, Kingston

"RMB Renovations recently completed a first floor renovation involving the removal of a supporting wall, tiling the floor, drywalling, painting and replacing doors and trim. Rob guided the process of integrating engineering, building permits, plumbing, electrical, and kitchen cabinetry, while providing sound advice each step of the way. He is knowledgeable about the best sources for materials and services and on one occassion saved me hundreds of dollars. While demonstrating outstanding customer communication and service, he and his team were extremely careful in my home and neighbourhood. I would not hesitate to contact RMB Renovations again should I need to complete a renovation project."
- Susan Shoniker, Kingston

"Thank you for a job well done. Jane and I are completely satisfied in all respects. A well-known hotel chain had a slogan "The best surprise is no surprise". This was certainly the case for us. Granted, the structure produced surprises, but RMB did not. The estimate was clear, there were no add-ons and, wherever possible, savings were passed on to us. In addition, we had friendly and competent staff working inside and out, and great efforts were made to keep the original schedule despite the unexpected structural problems and associated delays. We also very much appreciated and approve of your reassuring constant presence, checking, overseeing, consulting, adapting and getting your hands dirty in a variety of tasks. It was heartening to see the principle of "Managing by walking about" in action. Major renovations within a house, especially associated with the bedroom, can be a real pain. This was not the case here. We would be delighted to recommend you if asked. Gratefully, Mike Cole-Hamilton"

"RMB Renovations under Rob Bankosky has been doing our in-house renovation projects since 2013, including both Bathrooms as well as building us an outstanding Laundry Room area. He is presently refurbishing our kitchen, and has been contracted to complete other reno projects in the house slated for next year. We have been lucky to have Rob and his crew of skilled tradesmen and workers, as it is often difficult to find quality professionals that you can have confidence and trust with. Rob is an upright, quality oriented and trustworthy professional, who makes it his goal to ensure the customer gets the project they envisioned and to the standard they desire. He is extremely knowledgeable and versed in all aspects of building and renovations, and always comes up with innovative ideas to improve a project and make it better. On a personal level, he has a great sense of humour, is easy to talk/negotiate with, and is a problem solver by nature. To date we have never been given a quote for work which was in any way modified, unless due to changes or additions requested specifically by us the customer. RMB workers have been flexible, creative and helpful in all the projects that were completed in our house. They were always careful and considerate while working in our home, even while dealing with two dogs and a cat wondering about. We highly recommend Rob Bankosky and RMB Renovations for any projects."

"RMB Renovations was recommended to me by my neighbours and I recommend them to anyone. Rob and his crew were always so professional and accommodating. I am not a handyman and Rob gave great advice all along the way. We ended up doing a big basement renovation with removing old floors and concrete putting in hardwood, upgrading insulation walls and a full paint job! Excellent attention to detail and always clean and tidy. The kids love their new rooms and so do we. Thank-you Rob. We will call you for our next job for sure!"

""I love it and I think that it is a good example of your fine attention to detail and overall excellent work" "

""In September of 2016, we hired RMB Renovations, Rob Bankosky, to completely renovate our large master bathroom suite, as well as a small bathroom. Both rooms were striped to the bare walls and new showers, soaker tub, vanities and toilets were installed, as well as infloor heating. They completed all of the necessary work, including all of the tiling work, plus a niche in each shower. The finished product is phenomenal. Rob and his crew were a pleasure to have in our home and we would not hesitate to recommend them.""
- Jackie and Bob Cvitkovich

""Rob Bankosky, RMB Renovations renovated our condo from a rather dated dark condo to a modern home. By removing an entire wall, updating the kitchen, laying a hardwood floor, removing "popcorn" ceilings, installing new crown moulding and painting throughout, he transformed the condo to a modern open bright space! From the outset, Rob listened to our needs and ideas, discussed the plans and process and made suggestions. Good work, good communication and a good sense of humour, made Rob an excellent person with whom to work. I will not hesitate to call on Rob again!" "

"Due to extreme rainfall, my mother’s basement met with flooding. Not quite sure what to do we reached out to RMB Renovations for help. Rob and his team came to the rescue. Rob put a lot of care into the planning of the basement rebuild and had a great team of people working on the project. He coordinated all the work with sub-contractors and always had great communication with us each step of the way. We are very pleased with the work performed by RMB Renovations; the project was on budget and was completed on the target date. The basement turned out great and we already have ideas for Phase two of the interior renovations. We would highly recommend RMB Renovations services to others. "

"We can't say enough good things about Rob Bankosky and his company RMB Renovations. We bought a century old stone farmhouse but had no idea how difficult it would be to find someone to restore it.It seemed that no one wanted to work on a run down old farmhouse with cracked plaster walls covered by decades of old wallpaper, uneven wooden floors and holes in the ceiling where stove pipes had carried heat to the upper floors. After several disastrous dealings with contractors we despaired until we approached Rob with the challenge.We couldn't be happier with our choice. Rob listened to what we wanted done and without any formal plans transformed our dilapidated house into our dream home --on schedule and on budget. Over the years Rob has continued to work on our house by replacing rotten wood soffits in the roof and repairing our veranda.Now as we get older he is installing safety rails and hopefully a wheelchair ramp this spring. Rob is a man of integrity who takes pride in his work.He is reliable, honest,a superb craftsman and carpenter who never cuts corners.He gives you an estimate and sticks to it unless there are changes requested by you.He is also considerate and has a great sense of humour and is a pleasure to work with--he truly is a treasure. "
- Drs. Dale and Stanley Pietak

"Rob and his team finished our basement as an in-law suite in the spring of 2018. Not only were we pleased with the quality, costing, and timeliness of the job but also with Rob's professionalism, good humour, and patience. He and his team always kept the work area clean, delivered on all their commitments, and guided us through the process. We have no reservations whatsoever endorsing RMB Renovations for your own home renovations."
