“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Troy on over 40 projects, and I can confidently say he’s been one of the most reliable and hardworking tradespeople I’ve come across. He consistently shows up on time, puts in a full day’s work, and takes real pride in what he does. What stands out most about Troy is his honesty and integrity. He communicates clearly, follows through on what he says, and you never have to worry about things being done halfway. On every job we’ve worked on together, he’s been dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to getting the job done right. In this business, it’s not easy to find people you can truly trust and rely on—but Troy is definitely one of them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone who works hard, stands behind his work, and consistently delivers quality results.”

“RenoResQ worked on the repair and updating of our 1960s River Heights bungalow. As the second owner of this home, we found working with the RenoResQ team a pleasant and effective way to solve many of the challenges we faced. The team removed window coverings, mirrors and wallpaper. They repaired and painted the plaster ceilings/walls, the baseboards and trim. Doors were replaced. A new bathroom vanity was installed and tile repaired. The team demolished the original kitchen and completed the finishing carpentry after the cupboards were installed. The team also built a fence and constructed a deck in the backyard. Troy effectively coordinated the work of the trades—plumbers, electricians and the men who refinished the hardwood floors. When needed, he offered practical suggestions to solve issues which arose when updating a 60 year old house. Communication was clear. Work was completed in a timely manner. We recommend RenoResQ if you are looking for help in updating your home.”

“I’ve known Troy from RenoResQ for about 14 years now and we’ve worked together on a lot of jobs. I first did hardwood floors for him back in 2012 and since then we’ve been on many projects together and referred work back and forth. As a flooring contractor I’m picky about who I work with, and Troy is one of the few people I’m happy to send my own customers to. He communicates well with homeowners, runs a clean and organized job site, and does what he says he will. When I show up on one of his projects, the prep is done, decisions are made, and I can just get to work. The feedback I get from people after I send them his way has always been positive – they feel looked after and happy with the end result. If you need someone to handle the paint/trim/renovation side and keep things on track, I’m happy to recommend RenoResQ.”

“We’ve worked with Troy and RenoResQ multiple times over the last few years, both on our own home and on my mom’s house, and have always been very happy with the results. At our place, RenoResQ has helped with everything from replacing the basement ceiling tiles (including dealing with an unpleasant mouse situation) to reinforcing a problematic glass addition wall and looking after various repairs as issues came up with the house. When our roof needed attention, Troy referred a roofer, met them on site, and made sure the job was done properly. He’s also coordinated other trades (eaves/soffit/fascia) and handled the in between work so we didn’t have to juggle it all ourselves. What we appreciate most is that Troy is easy to talk to, shows up when he says he will, and is honest about what’s worth doing and what isn’t. He takes the time to explain options, works within the budget we give him, and leaves things clean and tidy when the job is done. Based on our experience over several projects, we trust RenoResQ and are happy to recommend them to anyone looking to have work done on their home or for a family member.”

“I used to work in real estate and referred several clients to Troy. He consistently delivered a high standard of service. He was responsive, clear, and reliable from start to finish. Projects were well managed, completed efficiently, and met expectations without surprises. My clients especially valued how seamless the process was. Troy handled everything end-to-end, and the quality of work helped homes show better and added real value. I would confidently recommend Troy and RenoResQ to anyone looking for dependable renovation support.”

“We’ve used Troy / RenoResQ a number of times over the years for ‘everything that needs to be fixed before we move out’ type projects, and he’s been great to work with. He’s helped us with a mix of cosmetic repairs and maintenance – fixing doors and trim, installing new hardware, tidying up damage around the house, and even rebuilding parts of our deck where boards were missing or failing. It’s not one giant renovation, but a bunch of important little things that add up to the place feeling solid and looked-after. What we appreciate most is that Troy is easy to reach, shows up when he says he will, and just quietly gets things done the right way so we don’t have to worry about what the landlord or next owner is going to find. Based on our experience, we’re happy to recommend RenoResQ for cosmetic repair and ‘get it ready’ work on a home or rental.”

“RenoResQ provides good quality service for a fair price!!! Troy has extensive experience and knowledge in this industry. He and his team are hardworking, honest, transparent and conduct themselves with the upmost integrity. Troy takes pride in his work and you can trust that RenoResQ will never cut corners to get a job done. I needed unexpected work done in my bathroom, so a family member could stay with me after their surgery. Even though RenoResQ were booked solid, Troy made time to assess the bathroom to see if there were any potential issues that needed to be addressed. Gave me an extremely fair quote and estimation of time needed to complete the work. All work was completed on time. I really appreciated the attention to details. Troy had cleaned the whole area really well after the Reno was done. I am extremely grateful to RenoResQ/Troy for the work that was done in my bathroom. It gave me the opportunity to care for my family post surgery without any concerns. I 100% recommend RenoResQ for your future Renovation needs!!!”

“NextGen Worship Centre has hired Troy / RenoResQ over the last 10 years for everything from major build‑out work to ongoing improvements in our facility. When we first purchased our 7,500 sq ft industrial space, we were relying heavily on volunteer labour. Troy/RenoResQ was instrumental in the original transformation into a worship centre – Troy personally volunteered hundreds of hours during that season, helping demo the old warehouse areas and overhead doors, build out the main sanctuary and stage, and create our media wall, offices, bathrooms and lobby. As the church became more established, we began hiring RenoResQ for paid projects as well. Since then, they’ve completed dozens of additional jobs for us, including custom AV booths, camera platforms, storage solutions, office upgrades and regular repair/refresh work as the church has grown. What we appreciate most is that RenoResQ treats our building like it’s theirs: honest about what’s worth doing, creative with solutions, respectful of our budget, and a trustworthy team for renovation and refresh projects.”

“Troy has been an absolute blessing to me over the years. The work he has done on my home through RenoResQ has always been excellent, done with great care, integrity, and attention to detail. He is reliable, professional, and truly takes pride in what he does. What stands out most is his honesty and heart for service. It’s rare to find someone you can trust so completely with your home, and Troy has proven that time and time again. I wholeheartedly recommend RenoResQ to anyone looking for quality workmanship and someone who genuinely cares about doing the job right.”

“I have known Troy for a number of years by now. He's helped me with various jobs on three properties. From drywall repairs at my first home, to a brand new fence, and most recently, interior doors at my second. He also assisted with a variety of odd jobs at my family home prior to selling. He has a multifaceted background, that sets him apart from other contractors. If you're gearing up to sell, he can provide his knowledge regarding things to prioritize, all the while being able to assist in a multitude of those tasks. He's honest and fair. I appreciate his time, effort, and integrity. I particularly appreciate his attention to detail. He'll work with you, and take your feedback to heart immediately, for a job completed to your satisfaction. Thank you Troy and the RenoResQ team! I'm sure our paths will cross again soon.”

“We had a great experience working with RenoResQ. They completed two projects for us, and both turned out excellent. At one of our properties, they fully renovated the basement stairs and updated the living room. The quality of work was fantastic, and the improvements made a huge difference—we were able to rent the house out in no time. At another property, they built a custom-sized closet and installed mirrored doors. Everything was done with great attention to detail, and the final result fit perfectly within the space. Professional, reliable, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality renovation work.”

“Did a great job with a bunch of jobs to get my house the way I wanted it, including flooring, external repairs, electrical stuff, and a lot more. I highly recommend.”

“RenoResQ replaced the wood frames around our windows in fall 2024. We had three quotes for the job and RenoResQ was the most cost effective one for the same service. Much of the wood was rotten through so once it was replaced, the wood had to be painted. To help keep costs down, the wood that wasn’t rotten was saved and kept in tact. The guys were professional yet friendly, cleaned up all the rotten wood and completed the job, front windows and back kitchen picture window, in three days. Great company to use.”

“RenoResQ has come to our rescue a few times now. Both our mid-century modern duplex in Crescentwood and a rental home in old River Heights have required bathroom ceiling repairs due to underperforming ventilation. Our rental home shifts a lot and RenoResQ filled/patched/repainted the bedroom wall where it was separating from the living room. Each time, we were provided with timely, fair estimates and the work was done quickly and well. We’ll be calling them again and highly recommend them!”
