Here’s What Our Customers Are Saying
Ron Sims was professional and did a great job in recaulking our bathrooms and kitchen sink. His rates are extremely reasonable and I would not hesitate to hire him again for other tasks.

Booked with Ramin and he did a great job recaulking our shower. He took the time to get it right and had great attention to detail. Will definitely recommend to my family and friends.

My tub needed to be recaulked & Daniel was quick to the rescue. He responded promptly, worked quickly (both caulking and cleaning around the tub) & was reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend/employ his services again!
- Location: SK
Alex did a fantastic job helping me complete with my bathroom reno. He is friendly, professional and very reasonable with quotes/charges. I appreciated his suggestions and knowledge when it came to the technical aspect of the project. One of my main issues was recaulking my bathtub area and he could tell right away that there was something wrong with the formula/texture of the silicone. He had the right tools to drill into porcelain tiles to hang several fixtures. He was very respectful of social distancing, wearing his mask and I felt safe having him in my home. Excellent work! I would definitely recommend his services/company and will be calling him for any future home renos!
- Location: ON
Brent (Reimer Renovations) replied to our request immediately and was able to come and give us an estimate very quickly. He did an excellent job of scraping and recaulking both our tub and shower. We found him to be honest, prompt, and reliable. We have since hired him to do some additional Reno’s to our home.
