I chose to work with Dan, Shawn and the team at Rock Solid Renovations because they impressed me from our very first meeting all the way through project pre-planning and the development of a final schedule and estimate. Dan particularly impressed me with his willingness to be in the home with his trades to thoroughly understand the scope of the renovation and to work with my designer to make sure everything was fully understood thereby reducing the chance of surprises. Once the work started it proceeded as planned and they even found ways to complete the project a few days ahead of schedule and under-budget. I can easily recommend Rock Solid as a first class renovation contractor.

We first hired Shawn and Dan to do our entire main floor renovation, which included structural work
(removing a wall and adding a beam for support) and a complete remapping/reframing of a new kitchen. I had a vision and Shawn and Dan brought it to life and completely exceeded what I had envisioned, sometimes even with very little direction (everything from the arched range enclosure to a doggy nook)! Although we moved out for majority of the project, they became like family (to the point where my kids actually would ask if they were coming back). So we did just that - and hired them for round two - the upstairs! Our house is a 1929 puzzle with several additions and Shawn and Dan were able to problem solve every step of the way (l am now convinced that there is nothing that these two cannot tackle, as I am confident our house has thrown it all at them). If you are looking for fair, friendly, reliable and genuine people (who also have an awesome roster of sub trades) who do excellent work and are extremely detail oriented, then look no further.

Dear Shawn and Dan,
We, once again, want to sincerely thank you for the service Rock Solid provided during our recent ensuite bathroom renovation. From the outset you provided us with an accurate road map of what we could expect and when the work by the different trades would be done. Under your management everything came off so smoothly. Having had you work in our home for our kitchen renovation two years ago inspired the confidence that carried over to this project. We appreciated your attention to detail and your willingness to make changes as the renovations were occurring. The addition of more lighting, new fireplace facing stone and hearth along with an enlargement of tile area at the front entry are just three examples I can mention of things we added as we went along. We felt so confident and comfortable with leaving you in charge that we had absolutely no concerns when we left for California while Danny did the tiling in our bathroom, the front entry and applied new stone to our fireplace. On our return, eleven days later, we judged the results to be absolutely outstanding.
Besides the bathroom project we can't neglect to acknowledge and thank you for the work you did to create a pantry out of a set of shelves, and the pocket doors you injected into our existing house plan that enabled us to make better use of our space. You were also instrumental in renovating our basement wall to receive the bar sink and the bookshelves we wanted. It looks magnificent.
Sincerely,
Allan and Carol Rix

We want you to know how much we are enjoying the 'final product' of our kitchen renovation. Also, we would recommend you and your team of sub-contractors to any prospective clients of yours in the future. [In fact, my wife is already planning our next renovation — possibly in a year's time].
Some of the things that made all of the difference to us was you ability to oversee the project on a daily basis, and your thoroughness in planning for each sub-trade to arrive in such a way that one job was not delayed by the lack of prep work by another sub-trade. This enabled you to complete the renovation in the number of weeks, that you had promised us.
Also, the cost to us of the project was within a few dollars of the price which you promised us — except where we changed a few allowance amounts, to further upgrade our choice of sink and lighting to satisfy our 'tastes' in style.
Further, your written estimate was very detailed, and you went over it with us prior to the start date; in order that there was no misinterpretation of what had been said and agreed to. [Another contractor had also given us an estimate, which was much less detailed, and yet over twenty thousand dollars more than what your total bill was, to us].
Since we set up a 'temporary kitchen' in our house and remained at home during the renovations, we also appreciated how little inconvenience was caused to us by your team's attention to closing off areas with plastic walls and dirt absorbing floor coverings, in order to minimize spreading the dirt and dust, etc to areas of the house that were not being renovated. Also your team cleaned up on a daily basis and put refuse into a bin which you supplied (on our driveway). Also, some neighbors commented that they appreciated that your workers tried not to use up other peoples street parking areas.
We had an 'open house' for the neighbors recently, and many of the folks I talked with, complimented your workmanship — and asked who had done the renovation. We had some of your business cards available for them.
Finally, when I think about who recommended us to ROCK SOLID, it was my brother-in-law. When we walked in on their renovation about a year ago, we were impressed. We determined that your company must be on our list of tentative contractors, before we started on our renovations.
Thanks again. —Art and Lois R.

We contracted Rock Solid Renovations to do two separate major renovations on our Bridgeland home.
The first one in 2013 was a complete main floor tear out and redesign. The project consisted of new Kitchen Cabinetry, floors, paint, windows and doors, including the removal of an inside bearing wall which required 2 x 24" steel beams with basement reinforcements.
The second project was in 2014 and consisted of a complete makeover on the outside of our home including a brick/stone front/removal of vinyl siding and replacing with Stucco, new decks, new roof, new sidewalks and walk in entrance.
We were very pleased with expertise of Shawn Wehring and Dan Bryanton. Our projects were on time and on budget. We found them very easy to work with and would recommend their services to anyone.

I had the pleasure of working with Rock Solid Renovations as contractors for my kitchen/bath renovation in the winter of 2014/2015. To say that they were extremely reliable would be quite an understatement. Whatever they were responsible for was done on time, every time. The only thing that paralleled their level of reliability and quality of work was their work-ethic. Simply put, If Rock Solid is on it, it's as good as done.

We hired Dan and Shawn to renovate our kitchen and main floor living room. These guys were personable and easy to work with throughout the entire project! They not only showed up the day they promised to start the job, they actually finished 2 weeks earlier than anticipated. They were consistently professional, punctual, courteous and knowledgeable throughout our renovation. The thing that stood out was how neat and tidy they were. We had trade people comment on how they had never seen a cleaner construction site! It all made for a worry and stress free project. Shawn and Dan would never waver if had any concerns or questions! They were happy to answer all of our questions and always went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with the finished project. Their attention to detail an quality of work went beyond our expectations! We would not hesitate to recommend Rock Solid Renovations for any home project!

"We want to thank you guys and let you know we are 100% satisfied customers.
Honestly, I was very impressed with the way managed the job, the work you did, and it was a pleasure to work with you both.
You laid out a schedule at the start and we stuck to it. Right down to the very last day [when Shawn reworked the cold air intake that the kitchen guy had mucked up] you focused on quality and a job well done.
This our first renovation so we knew very little about what we were getting into. You patiently [more then once!] explained what was needed, why you were doing something and we really appreciated how you kept us continually up to date on the progress and what was coming up next. Most people I know have horror stories about renovations but our experience was completely different. I think we came in slightly under budget since we removed a thing or two.
We will definitely recommend you without hesitation and if we decide to do anymore renovations we know who to call!"
Thanks Again

"Working with both of you was a pleasure. I felt very comfortable with you in our home. I always felt I knew what was going on and when to expect the various trades for the project. You gave a timeline and kept to it. You were always available to discuss any issues or decisions that had to be made.
Your workmanship was excellent in all aspects of the project.
We are very pleased with the final result of a new kitchen."

"We had been thinking of renovating our kitchen for quite some but did not know where or how to start the process. A friend of ours recommended Shawn ad Dan of Rock Solid. We had never done A Reno this size so we were quite nervous but Dan and Shawn, with their calm demmeanour and professionalism laid our fears to rest immediately. They explained everything to us from tear down to completion. What and when the sub trades would be in and most importantly the time line of the Reno. Our kitchen was completed within the timeline they set out for us and on budget. We would recommend Rock Solid to anyone who asked. We would like to add our home was always clean and there was never a contractor in our home when we were home. These men are so organized and professional you never knew they were here. The result is a beautiful functional kitchen thank you Shawn and Dan and your crew."

"We recently purchased a house that needed a lot of updating. The kitchen was the biggest modification we made to the house. Dan and his team were quick and efficient during the demolition phase. The attention to detail and the professional installation of the kitchen cabinets amazed us. Their work in every area of the house was excellent. The work site was tidy and organized during all phases of construction. They worked well with all the other trades creating a pleasant atmosphere. Any questions or problems [one or two minor ones] were immediately addressed and quickly resolved. Also, they were quick to help with a weather emergency situation that was outside of their scope of work- we are very thankful that their prompt actions saved our home from any damage. We had a tight timeline for our renovations and the project was completed on time.
We couldn’t be happier with the work that was done. We love our new home and are very thankful to Dan for the role he played in helping us achieve our dreams."

"Dan and Shawn did a large kitchen renovation for us. This was our first experience with them. After working with them seeing the meticulous work that they do, we have hired them to do two more renovations projects for our home. Dan and Shawn are personable and easy to work with. They are professional and knowledgeable and give great attention to detail. They make sure that the project is done right and the quality is impeccable. I would whole-heartedly recommend Dan and Shawn for any job in your home."

"In 2010 Dan and Shawn performed the Reno work on my complete kitchen overhaul Dan and Shawn were thorough in our discussions of scope, execution and finishing [and I am an involved client!]and always collaborative. They were very professional in approach and appearance, on time every day, completed the work to my satisfaction [despite my changes], coordinated with other trades and very respectful of my family schedule and my home. The job site was meticulously clean at the end of every day, which I very much appreciated while we lived through the Reno. I did not hesitate to have them back for a bathroom, ensuite Reno which they completed early 2011. They are honest, easy to work with and “good” people. I would refer them in a heartbeat."

"Dan and Shawn were integral to a major renovation of kitchen, ensuite bathroom, master bedroom and laundry room. They provided good advice on many occasions throughout the project, I trusted all of their suggestions and recommendations without regret. Their attention to detail across all aspects of their involvement was exemplary. They prepared the site thoroughly to keep construction dirt contained, cleaned up at the end of each workday and delivered high quality work throughout the project. Their skills are very broad. They did everything from tear down to fixing hardwood flooring. They delivered on time and on budget. I highly recommend Dan and Shawn."
