RDM Derksen & Co. put down hardwood flooring in that back of my store, Philistine. They were very quick, and did an amazing job. In addition to the flooring, they also built and installed a ceiling fan with new light fixtures, and installed a custom fitted copper pipes that hold draping for the fitting rooms.

In the summer of 2008 I hired Robert to tear up ceramic tiling throughout the main floor and replace with hardwood. He also renovated my kitchen and two bathrooms, built a wrap arouond deck and painted the interior and exterior of the house. I was very pleased with his work, he was very professional and easy to work with. I hired him this year to renovate my condo. Both bathrooms, painting, electrical, and designing a glass wall to create a bedroom. I definitely recommend Robert and would use his services again.

BATHLUX 71 Howden Road, Scarborough, ON M1R 3C7 Tel: 416.288.1655 Over the past 35 years, I have had many experiences with a number of general contractors on all types of our projects, and found none that can compare to the recent experience I have had with R.D.M. Derksen & Co. LTD. R.D.M. recently completed a 4500 square foot new custum made home for us, at Warden and Lawrence, on time and with out so much as one change order, and made this a first class building. I have the utmost respect and admiration not only for Robert, but of everyone who works for his firm, and I will not hesitate to have him construct a few more buildings for us in the near future. R.D.M. is not only a great construction company, but also true professionals of their trade. John Christofer President

RDM Doerksen has done work for me for several years.Earlier, they did a major renovation on a downstairs room in a house that I was preparing for sale, and I was pleased with the result.More recently, they have helped me renovate my condo by sanding, removing veryold wallpaper, painting, etc., and I am once again very happy with the results.Also, they are scheduled to enclose my balcony in the spring. They are very easy and congenial to deal with, and I find their pricing very fair.I would therefore highly recommend them.

It is my pleasure to write a reference letter for Mr. Robert Doerksen as a general contractor. We decided to renovate our kitchen in 2008, and Mr. Doerksen was the contractor that we selected to conduct the renovations. We first selected him because of the comprehensiveness and quality of the quote that he provided. We were very pleased with the work performed in our renovation. It was a particularly difficult renovation, and there were substantial problems. The cupboards that had been ordered by the designer had been measured wrong by the company, and the company shut down Canadian operations in the middle of our renovation. Despite going significantly over time because of the cupboards, Mr. Doerksen returned and finished the job as soon as the cupboards were installed. He was always pleasant and polite, and provided various options (with varying price tags) when unanticipated events arose. The kitchen was finished in November 2008. We are still very pleased with the quality of the work provided and enjoy our kitchen every day.

We are happy to provide this reference for R.D.M Derksen & Company Ltd and its work. R.D.M Derksen & Company Ltd undertook two types of work for us in our new home. First, he worked with the engineers to open up (and subsequently close) numerous areas of the walls throughout our house, to permit the engineers to determine the structural elements of our new house. Our new house is a unique structure, so this was not a straightforward job. Second, R.D.M Derksen & Company Ltd removed a supporting wall between the kitchen and living room. This work was structural and required working together with many other trades. R.D.M Derksen & Company Ltd's work was well done, done within the projected time frame and done within the estimated costs. We found that the people working with R.D.M Derksen & Company worked extremely well with other trades, including electricians, painters and engineers (who were all independent to R.D.M Derksen & Company). Each of such trades brought its own distinct personality and style, and requirements for working. We found that Robert Doerksen, the president of R.D.M Derksen & Company, and his workers were very accommodating and flexible. Robert Doerksen was also a general pleasure to work with, from the initial assessment of work required, responding to our questions and in ensuring the job was completed in a professional manner. It was a very busy time for us. Robert Doerksen was extremely accommodating, helpful to our family and the decisions to be made, and worked in a way to reduce or minimize stress. We are more than happy to discuss R.D.M Derksen & Company Ltd's work further with you, if that would be of assistance.

R.D.M. Derksen Company designed and completed the renovation of my bathroom and kitchen. I am extremely happy with the results and have had many compliments from my friends and family. A friend of mine, who is an interior designer for large projects in the GTA, was very impressed with the outcome. This company has a very good design sense a helped me visualize the outcome. The renovation work and attention to detail was exceptional. The whole process was very efficient and within budget. I have no hestiation in highly recommending R.D.M. Derksen.

Company Response:

I would like to thank Brigitte for her reveiw. it is much appreciated. A pleased customer is what we strive for.

Marc and I are very satisfied with the results of the master bathroom renovation your company recently completed. The project began on time, and took close to the length of time predicted. The work was done efficiently, and you always responded promptly to any questions or concerns that arose, and had helpful suggestions concerning the design. Once the bathroom was finished and a couple of adjustments were later required, you attended to them quickly, efficiently and courteously. As project manager, we appreciated your consistently professional and respectful approach. The cost of the renovation in comparison with other estimates was reasonable; and the couple of unforeseen adjustments to the work were explained, discussed and itemized on an invoice as they arose. Clear two-way communication is key to a good renovation result, and next time I would improve on this by clarifying which items were included in the total cost, and which were not. Certainly if we decide to other changes to our home, we would not hesitate to use RDM's services once more.

Please accept this letter as a strong recommendation for Robert Doerksen. We've been involved in construction projects with Robert for many years and can attest to his workmanship and his attention to detail. Robert's also extremely likeable person and always a pleasure to work with.
