What Our Clients Are Saying
Over the past 20 years, Paolo and his talented team have renovated our Manotick
home. Each renovation added style and comfort, all completed on budget and on time, exceeding our expectations with perfection. We are detail-oriented, and it was evident that the team shares this focus. This exceptional team is driven by a culture of excellence, ensuring outcomes exceed client expectations. They communicate effectively, listen, clarify, and solve problems swiftly. Their positive approach is a bonus during stressful renovations.
Cody’s affable nature greeted us daily. He explained plans, addressed concerns,
protected our living areas and maintained cleanliness of the site. His meticulous work on the river rock shower floor and custom wood installations was impressive. A true test of a contractor is standing by their work. When on one of our earlier ensuite renos the heated terrazzo tile showed issues due to a defective batch of grout, Paolo quickly resolved it, redoing the floor flawlessly at no charge. That’s the kind of commitment to excellence he brings to the table. For expert, enjoyable renovations, hire this team! We’ve already enlisted them for our upcoming bungalow project. Forget Ghostbusters—call Renos4Life!

I hired Renos4Life to remodel my master bathroom with accessibility in mind. From start to finish, their work was exceptional. Peter, the project lead, went above and beyond, keeping me informed daily, accompanying me to select materials, and even handling unexpected challenges with skill and flexibility. His team is equally impressive: meticulous in protecting our home, respectful of our privacy, and thorough with daily cleanup. They were never in our way and always happy to help, bringing licensed, highly knowledgeable professionals—from carpenters to plumbers and specialists for custom cabinetry and shower glass. Now, we have a high-end Ensuite that’s both beautiful and discreetly designed for accessibility, enhancing our home’s long-term value. The outcome was beyond our hopes—visitors have called it “spectacular”. I highly recommend Renos4Life for any renovation, big or small. You will not be disappointed!

We recently hired Renos4Life to remodel our bathroom and we are so happy with how it has turned out. From the time of our initial consultation, we knew we made the right choice in working with them. He helped us every step of the way from providing great advice on design ideas for the bathroom to providing great suggestions on sources for materials to help us stay on budget. We had open lines of communication throughout the project whether it was to make last minute changes, or to get updates on the daily work schedule. The team is very courteous and mindful of detail. We highly recommend Renos4Life for any renovation project.

We were initially daunted by the idea of a major bathroom renovation, but after meeting Peter, we felt confident in our choice. Peter’s unique approach focuses on creating spaces that allow us to live safely and comfortably as we age, truly personalizing the renovation experience—“one size fits one.” Our goal was to transform our small bathroom into a luxurious spa retreat. Despite keeping the original footprint, the R4L team replaced everything, including a Maax whirlpool, rain and handheld showers, all-wood Cabico cabinetry, new tile, new lighting and electrical, exquisite marble countertops, and Invisia accessible accessories. They even crafted a custom pocket door!
We are satisfied beyond expectations with the final result and the level of service provided by Renos4Life. Peter and his team demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, offering weekly updates on timelines and budget, ensuring the project was completed on time and within budget, with minimal hassle.

We contracted Renos4Life to renovate our bungalow, making it accessible for my father after a life-altering injury. With the emotional stakes high, the team excelled in transforming our home into a comfortable space for my dad, who initially struggled to feel at home. From start to finish, the renovation experience was outstanding. They worked closely with us to bring our vision to life while managing the budget effectively. Their guidance in selecting products and materials was invaluable, as was their communication, which included regular updates on budget and progress.
Everyone went above and beyond, creating custom elements such as a beautiful deck, an interlock ramp, a fully accessible wet room, and a caregiver’s suite equipped with a deep soaker tub and walk-in closet. The quality of work was superb, and any concerns were addressed promptly with innovative solutions. The site was left clean and ready for my dad to move in on the promised date and within budget.
Peter made my dad and I feel like royalty, always going the extra mile to reduce stress and increase positive affect, even if it meant bringing my dad a coffee because he couldn’t get out into the community at certain points in his recovery. I’m eternally grateful for all the hard work, patience and persistence that this job required – I would highly recommend Renos4Life for any design or renovation project.

My parents were nervous about a bathroom renovation due to the special safety needs for my father, as well as concerns about cost and timing. Our experience with Peter and the Renos4Life team was outstanding. Peter and Paolo’s crew did a fabulous job, keeping the space clean daily and minimizing disruptions. My parents love their new walk-in shower, and the safety rails Peter suggested look stunning. Peter’s expertise made the whole process manageable, explaining each part and ensuring both budget and safety were prioritized. My parents are now planning future home renovations, and we’ll definitely use R4L again. I highly recommend them as a company that delivers a professional result, on time and on budget with a great staff!

Renos4Life, my wife and I want to thank you for the beautiful renovations to our powder room and ensuite. We couldn’t be happier with the end result. Your work ethic is rare these days—you treated our home as if it were your own, always arriving punctually and bringing tradespeople who shared your high standards. It’s refreshing to find people who take such pride in their work. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your team. Wishing you all the very best!

Renos4Life was amazing, right from the design phase. Peter used his knowledge and experience to explain why proper support is so important as you get older. I’m so grateful he encouraged me, because now I can’t imagine not having that grab bar in the shower—I’d be so sorry if we hadn’t done it. Peter’s attention to detail is incredible, not just for what we need right now, but for what we might need 10 or 15 years down the road. They’re ahead of their time in planning for the future.
There’s a level of competence, attention to detail, and confidence that Renos4Life brings to the table, and when it all comes together, you can’t help but say, “Wow, okay.” They completely transformed our house—it’s truly my dream home now. Honestly, I wouldn’t go to anyone else. It’s a no-brainer. The comfort level we have with the team, based on everything they’ve done for us, is unmatched.

We did a complete renovation from top to bottom. Paolo and his crew were very organized, no delays, always punctual and kept a very clean work site, inside and out. Even our neighbours complemented them on their professionalism and work ethic. They were exceptional in helping us choose our finishes and coordinating shipments and deliveries, taking a lot of stress off our already full schedule. Quality workmanship, quality finishes and most importantly quality people

Ian MackWe did a bathroom renovation. There was no doubt for us after three bidders responded to us. Peter was insightful, knowledgeable about what I needed for my progressing disability, honest and accommodating. He and his team provided options, stayed on schedule, produced excellent workmanship, met the budget predictions, cleaned up every day and were sensitive to us throughout. And, they even shovelled snow and educated about our snowblower! We are two years in now and still thrilled in every way. You cannot go wrong!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Joe TremblayLate December 2022 Renos4Life removed our 7 year old shower which had begun leaking to the floor below. They carefully took all the old tiles and gyprock away. Each day the team was here they cleaned up and put their tools out of our way. They were totally professional throughout the whole renovation. We are very happy with the final product and it turned out much better than the original. We have full confidence this shower will last as we were able to see the methodical approach that was taken from the beginning. Thanks Peter and teamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Tim MooreVery knowledgeable about Safety devices for homes for everyone including, of course, seniors
Peter and Paolo were extremely knowledgeable on bathrooms for seniors, we were so grateful to them for the insight. All the trades involved were super talented. One thing that stood out was that one Sunday Peter was there ensuring the final touches were completed and everything would look perfect. It truly looked like a show home.

Preparing for retirement and installing safe living features for the future
As we approached retirement we decided to prepare our home for aging. We ended up tackling a third of the house with Peter’s guidance.The unique part about Peter is that he is a really good listener. He took our ideas and guided us through to meet our goals. Due to the communication at each step there were no surprises. The process was painless.

Main floor home redesign and renovations
We were happy to find Peter as we were unhappy with a previous contractor. Communication was very important to us. We were renovating our bathroom to make it more accessible to meet both of our needs. We had an overall plan and Peter helped to add the details. Trust was very important to us as we were going to be away during the renovation. The end result is functional and looks amazing.
