Complete renovation of entire house plus addition - UPDATE!

June 2022 - By way of update, we moved into our completed house in March 2022. The 10-month project was completed on time and we felt fully informed all the way on the status of completion. Overall, our major renovation was so extensive on construction (only the original foundation and some exterior walls remained) that we effectively received an incredible new custom home with high quality finishes and design. There were many unique design touches (custom skylight) for which we have received several compliments. RS Homes has a terrific set of trades who are highly professional and take pride in their workmanship which is shown in their willingness to keep coming back and make adjustments until the customer is satisfied. As we mentioned in an earlier post, being able to deal directly with the owner (Ramtin) is a huge advantage over other custom build companies - and that paid off whenever there were disagreements on pricing, clarity on scope of contract or quality of service. Ramtin consistently stepped in and made sure that through his brother (Ramsin), we were ultimately happy. We would recommend that anyone considering a new custom build or major renovation give RS Homes a call as you will not be disappointed - they stand behind their family owned name and business. Thank you for making our vision of our dream home come true!

June 2021 - We contacted several home builders to provide quotes for a complete renovation of all floors and finished basement of our 3000 sq foot house. The house was already stripped to the wall studs and we had some ideas of major changes (e.g. addition over garage) and also welcomed ideas from the builders. RS Homes, was by far the most open to our suggestions, never said "it can't be done" and was honest in providing advice for things which would not add value or could cause issues in the future. Unlike other builders, you deal directly with the owners of RS Homes and they constantly communicate where there might be changes to the original estimate and work tirelessly going back and forth with architects and engineers to make your vision happen. For example, we wanted a major change to the front elevation going from a flat roof design to steep gables and Ramtin (President) and Ramsin (Senior Project Manager) spent many hours working behind the scenes until we were satisfied with the final design. We had many builders and contractors tell us that the ideas we were suggesting couldn't be done or be too costly - the same ideas that RS Homes is now undertaking without complaining.

While we are two months in the design and early construction, we have been very impressed with their attention to detail, constant transparency about the progress, and professional interaction with our family. Taking a 30-year-old house and doing a major renovation to modernize it and change structural walls, roof trusses, and masonry could cause other builders to panic or significantly increase costs - but RS Homes has been great and fair thus far! You should not hesitate to give Ramtin a call to discuss your home renovation/full tear down and rebuild vision. We will update this review on completion.

Luxury Home Build - Vacant Land

We told RS Homes our desire and not only did they recommend a vacant lot that met our expectations they built a 7,500 square foot luxury home with great detail. We were part of the build experience from the beginning starting with their recommended architect through each step of the construction. We were able to oversee the entire building process interacting with the RS staff and trades along the way. RS even looked after our landscaping. RS has been very responsive to any minor fixes that were required after the move in. I know I can still call them if there is a need and they will respond.

Custom Home after service

We moved into our custom home by RS Homes two years ago. Our experience during the design build process was excellent. Recently we have an issue likely caused by ice built up in the roof during the winter. I sent an email to Ramtin and he replied immediately that he asked me not to worry and they will take care of it. This is after more than two years I moved in.

Finding a quality builder is not easy already, finding a builder that has an excellent after sales service and will stand behind their product is even harder. I am happy I made the right decision a few years ago. RS Homes has demonstrated that they really care about their clients.

Custom home design & build

I hired Rs Homes to build a custom home for my family in 2017. Their expertise and professionalism really expedited a seemingly complex permit process. They were able to produce a clear online daily log during construction phase which apprised me of the latest development. Eventually, the project was completed in a timely and professional manner . Job, well done!

Custom Home Design and Build

In late 2018 we selected RS Homes as our Design and Build partner for our custom home build. The build is ~3500 square feet plus a finished basement and a pool.

Today (April 2020) we are about halfway through the project and we are very happy with RS Homes. Our project has faced a lot of external challenges (city, neighbourhood and COVID-19), but RS Homes has done a fantastic job of keeping the project moving in spite of these difficulties. The build quality and materials used are excellent.

As a customer, there are two traits that I have observed that I greatly appreciate about RS Homes' approach:

1) I am kept extremely well informed of the build project. I receive near-daily site updates that include pictures, weather, progress notes, challenges and solutions. This allows me to react quickly if I need to make a change, or to give a clearer picture of our vision for our home.

2) RS has been very fair to deal with in areas of conflict. No contract has perfect specifications, but how your builder works with you on resolving those specification gaps says a lot. We have had a number of changes that have been absorbed by RS. We have also had a number of changes that we agreed are new costs. And some changes we've met in the middle. With each of those discussions I came away believing that I was treated fairly by RS Homes.

We still have some ways to go on the final project, but I am very pleased with the project so far. I'm a proud RS Homes customer and can't wait for move in day!

Worst builder

This is in response to RS home answer
It’s not you who left the job, you were kicked out of the job as you guys demolished the house without permit and that tells your professional ability. Also tell people that your team took out all the electrical and plumbing fixtures and sold it in our absence when we were out of country.
Not to worry time is there now to answer all the allegations in court soon.

RS Homes Review
We hired this builder to do a major Reno at our house under the impression that they know their job . Unfortunately I don’t think they even have the capability and capacity to handle any project . They claimed to have a full team but during the project we realized that they have none . They hired unprofessional people to demolish our 11000 Sq ft house at Mississauga Rd and screwed up everything including the wiring, plumbing , dry wall and insulation which later costed us approx 250K to fix. They put handyman to do the framing job at our house who put screws on framing rather than nails. They demolished the whole house in a way that we get forced to do everything new. They are in business for more than a decade and have only few projects to show which shows their credibility and efficiency. We end up firing them as if we would have kept them there , it would have costed me a good amount of money for no use . The other contractors were surprised to see what they have done to the property . I would strongly recommend anyone to be aware and don’t pay them anything in advance as you will never get that money again .
Very unprofessional and rude people to deal with and I was surprised to see how his employees work with him .
I am sharing my experience and have many proofs . I am sure every single project they did might have taken them twice the time and double the money as compared to any other good contractor . Please ensure to go and visit at least 5 sites before you even think of giving them business.

Hello Raman, we would like to apologize for your negative experience with RS Custom Home Builders. We take pride in our work and level of service we provide to our valued clients. We had full intentions of completing the job and finishing the work we started, however, because no permit was obtained, we were unable to do so. We understand this was frustrating for you as you were eager to get the work done, however we had to abide by the laws and not continue the work without a permit. This is the first time we started a job that we could not finish for a client. Despite providing you with a quote on the full project the contract we signed was for demolition only - we were not the contractor for this job and did not build anything. If anyone reading this has additional questions or concerns we would be happy to speak honestly and openly on this matter. Please feel free to contact us directly at (416) 480-0282.

House relovation

I’m satisfied with RS Homes’ work and services. They built a good relationship with me during the process, I was involved in every part of the process. They listened to my suggestions and helped me achieve what I wanted. They provided a really good customer service after the work is done too. I would love to work with them again.

Design and Build Custom Home

We started our journey building our dream house almost two years ago including searching for the ideal lot in the area we want. Finding a reliable builder that we are comfortable working with (and vice versa) is as important as finding the right building lot. We are lucky we found RS Homes. The project is a complete design build. We worked with the Architect they recommended to put the dream house onto the drawing board, then got the permits late last summer. It was just eight months ago that the bulldozer first appeared on the lot, the house is now taking shape. It involves so many areas, trades, city and utilities. RS Homes made the process easy. Scheduling work and material deliveries can be a challenge to many as I often heard, but their project manager manages it so well that there were hardly any delay or gap in activities. Wish they can control the harsh winter though. We received progress update almost daily via app as well as regular on site visits that some adjustments and decisions can be made to make everything is as perfect as possible. When we are on site, we can discuss with the trade people such as carpenters, plumbers and electricians. They are the subject expert and can often give you the best suggestion. This has been a very positive experience.

It is also fun to see every stage of the work. The interior of the house is now taking shape. One of the highlights that impressed us is the skylight. It is really spectacular the way it was designed and built. We first saw it on the architecture plan, then the framing, now with the dry wall. I really appreciate the quality work and effort everyone put into the project.
