We had a wonderful renovation experience with Rusch Design Build. They are a top notch renovator, with fantastic staff and outstanding trades. We couldn’t be happier with the design, quality of construction, and outstanding communication from the team. If there was a problem, they were on it immediately, ensuring that it was made right. See their website for more testimonials - we’d echo the comments made there. If you are looking into a renovation, don’t hesitate to use Rusch Design Build!

Rusch Design Build made our main floor renovation an amazing experience! From the initial meeting right through to completion everything was communicated transparently. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Tawnya on the design details and we love how our new space evolved to meet our unique needs and vision. Having that level of support was so helpful when there are so many choices out there. The carpenters were so good and kept the space very tidy throughout. We highly recommend Rusch if you are looking to work with a fun and creative team.

We started our journey by needing to replace our “poly b” and do some long overdue renovations. We interviewed builders and decided to place our trust in Rusch. From day 1 they clearly outlined the process and met our expectations all along the way. The design process created a main floor with a kitchen and family room beyond our wildest dreams. We worked through creative ideas with Tawnya, Oliver and Aldrin. They incorporated our ideas and we were frequently told “of course you can do that”. They brought our 1990s styled home into a modern, updated, cosy place we love. During the construction phase we were given weekly updates by our project managers Brad and Brennan. Unexpected issues were dealt with calmly and with ongoing conversations. The trades people were friendly, professional and treated our home with respect. The finished product has created a home we are proud of and are excited to share with family and friends. Rusch earned our trust and we are happy with the relationship we developed with all of them along the way. Thanks for being involved in this journey with us we will forever be grateful. - Tracey and Scott

It was important to me to find a renovator that I could build a comfortable relationship with for the transformation of my Lake Sundance home.
After an exhaustive search for that renovator, I chose Rusch Design Build…and never for a moment have I regretted that choice! Phillip, Oliver, Tawnya and the entire Rusch Team were the perfect “partners” in my renovation project. From their design ideas and selection of finishes to the construction and last-minute alterations, Rusch listened, communicated and were considerate of my ideas and needs. The workmanship and attention to detail, under Phillip and Oliver’s watchful and critical eyes, resulted in an end-product beyond anything I envisioned or could have done on my own. On top of all that it bears mentioning how clean they kept their construction site / my home!
All those horror stories involving disastrous home renos and unscrupulous renovation contractors makes finding a contractor with the integrity, dependability and thoroughness of Rusch Design Build feels a little like winning the lottery.

we had to replace the stucco siding on our house due to bird damage with vinyl siding and two old windows that were not up to standard. The quality of the materials and the workers was exceptional and clean up after the jobs was always the last thing. We have used Rusch Design before and highly reccommend them for quality of work and excellent workers. They tell in advance the estimation of costs and stick to those numbes.
what good fortune we have to have access to this company. Sandy Orsten

Rusch completed a full renovation on our apartment and we are very happy with the finished product, making it the home we had envisioned. Appreciating that apartment renovations can be challenging when it comes to access we found Rusch managed the project efficiently, honestly, on time and within budget. The Rusch team was available to answer questions or offer suggestions on challenges. Thank you so much Phillip, Oliver and Ann.

Rusch did a major renovation of our condo in the spring of 2022, pretty much gutting it. We used them because they came highly recommended by two of our old neighbours that had them do home renovations. Rusch completed the job on time and on budget. They handled everything, including dealing with the management company. Very easy people to work with. An excellent eye for detail. They did many little things above and beyond their scope of work (thoroughly washing down the outdoor deck prior to our moving back in, cleaning the inside and outside of appliances before reinstalling them, installing picture railings) that spoke to their commitment to quality work. A great experience. I recommend them without hesitation.
