The comprehensive punch-list work that makes your home show beautifully or feel like yours from day one. Coordinated by a former realtor who has sold over 130 Winnipeg homes.

RenoResQ specializes in preparing Winnipeg homes for sale or move-in through comprehensive, coordinated refresh work. This is the service that brings everything together — interior painting, floor updates, trim replacement, kitchen and bath touch-ups, fixture swaps and all the small items that add up to a transformed home. Most sale-ready and move-in projects cost between $5,000 and $25,000 depending on scope, and are completed in 10 to 14 working days. RenoResQ's founder Troy MacDonald is a former licensed realtor who was personally involved in the sale of over 130 Winnipeg homes. He understands exactly what buyers notice, what realtors flag, and which updates deliver the highest return on investment. Many clients leave keys and travel while RenoResQ completes the work — returning to a home that's ready to list or ready to live in.

Common Questions

Questions we hear most.

What updates should I do before selling my home in Winnipeg?

Based on Troy MacDonald's experience selling over 130 Winnipeg homes: interior painting (highest ROI), clean flooring, fresh trim and baseboards, updated bathroom fixtures, and clean kitchen hardware and lighting. These surface-level updates cost a fraction of a full renovation but dramatically change how buyers perceive the home. RenoResQ handles all of these in one coordinated project.

How much does it cost to get a house ready to sell in Winnipeg?

A comprehensive sale-ready refresh in Winnipeg typically costs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the size of the home and scope of work. A paint-and-floors project starts around $8,000. Adding kitchen, bath and trim work brings it to $15,000–$20,000. The ROI on pre-sale updates is typically 100% to 200%.

Can you work with my realtor's timeline?

Yes. We understand listing timelines and work backward from your target date. Most projects are completed in 10 to 14 working days. If you have a specific listing date, let us know during the walkthrough and we'll confirm whether the timeline works.

What if I just bought a home and want updates before moving in?

This is one of the most common ways clients use RenoResQ. Before you move furniture in is the ideal time to paint, install new floors, update trim and refresh the kitchen and bath. We can often complete the work between your possession date and your move-in date.

Do you handle everything or do I need to hire other contractors?

We handle the complete project. Painting, flooring, trim, kitchen/bath updates, fixtures — all coordinated by Troy. When licensed trades are needed (plumber, electrician), we bring in trusted professionals we've worked with for years. You deal with one person, one invoice, one timeline.
