We live in an old, East York semi which means our basement was built for Hobbits so we were very interested in exploring our options for lowering it. (See basement lowering review of Braga Contracting) After reading a story about Reiner in the paper, on a variety of websites, including his own, we felt that he was the right man for the job and he exceeded our expectations. Always punctual, always friendly and always informed, Reiner was on top of everything from the first meeting to the end of the project. Though this project didn't require anything beyond the dig/new sewer, he always had helpful advice for our refinishing plans, dealing with other contracts and general best practices. A strong-recommend for new home owners and experienced handymen alike.

Hiring Reiner to help us with our house Reno was the best thing we did! Reiner coached us on what shd happen, by whom, and when. He also warned us of common pitfalls. He developed a healthy relationship with our contractor and designer, but it he always acted in our best interest. Renovations are stressful, but Reiner gave us peace of mind. His rates are reasonable, and hiring him saved us $10,000s, not to mention saving us time and stress! Yes, we learned a lot about the reno process, but we will definitely hire Reiner if we ever do another renovation. THANK YOU, Reiner!

We hired Reiner to help with a basement reno (demolition, excavation and underpinning, insulating and installing new), plumbing upgrades, attic insulation and A/C installation for our 1930s home. Reiner was a great source of advice and experience, with a book of contacts to get the job done right. He saved us considerable money (both explicitly by helping us find better deals and implicitly through advice on contract terms with our contractors) and time and made sure we had a better final product than we would have achieved had we tried to organize the reno ourselves. He also acted as a great go between between us and the trades, effortlessly handling difficult conversations. Budgets and timelines are tough to stick to on any job but Reiner worked with our goals and we would recommend him as a great resource for anyone undertaking a renovation.

The Reno Coach was very helpful with helping organize our renovations. He gave us a realistic budget to start with and we managed to stick pretty close to it through the entire renovation process. Also, he had a reliable set of tradespeople that he recommended. As first rime renovators, it was very useful to have him help us with the process!

I worked with Reiner on a series of renovations, and he was truly excellent throughout. He helps with every stage of the renovation process with exceptional insight, genuine patience, and unerring conscientiousness. He recommended a terrific contractor, roofer, and cabinet maker. He made sure I got the best prices, and ensured the contract was fair. When the renovations started, he was on site every day, and inspected all the work being done. As a result, the work was of exceptionally high quality. He also went to great lengths to meet a very short deadline. Because he has such terrific relationships with these tradesmen, they'll go the extra mile for Reiner, and I was able to reap the benefits. I have plans for future renovations, and will definitely work with Reiner again. I highly recommend the Reno Coach for anyone tackling a renovation!

Finding Reiner the Reno Coach was fantastic! If it weren't for him, we would still be scratching our heads and trying to figure out how to get a permit from the city. We met with him once, hired him, and the next week he had someone at our new house doing architectural drawings and applying for the permit. The day after we took possession of the house, a demo team was in. Reiner was easy to communicate with, very accountable on the job, and helped us make decisions. He saved us countless hours of searching for contractors, and handled any problems we had so we could keep a step back. In just 8 weeks our reno was complete and we are enjoying our new home. We can't recommend Reiner more highly - especially if you are working and/or this is your first reno project. Think of him like a wedding planner - but for renovations. You'll never regret hiring him.

Having used Reiner's services already with my own living space, I retained him again for a rental apartment I own that was gutted. Quite simply, citizens of Toronto/GTA are lucky to have his services available. Highly recommended.

Working with the Reno Coach was the best decision we could have made. Reiner is dependable, honest and very clear about expectations and plans. I recommend him without hesitation. The project was very well organized, and he helped identify as many DIY opportunities as reasonably possible for us to save money. The contractors that he works with are also reliable and very professional. Even though the fees for the Reno Coach add another expense line, the overall savings are indisputable. And the project was completed in a timely and comparatively stress-free manner. Highly recommended.

My husband and I bought our first home and quickly enlisted Reiner's help. His expertise and experience are beyond what we expected. From the get-go, Reiner helped save us thousands of dollars from money hungry contractors! Reiner is honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy. No matter what size your project, Reiner is someone that you won't regret having on board. We will definately go to Reiner for any future projects. Highly recommended to anyone who is renovating!

I was asked to build a Swimming Pool for Reiner for a very important client and the main focus in our initial meeting was attention to detail.From the first day to the last day of Project completion Reiner was there everyday overlooking the project,following his strict schedule.For a person of his knowledge he was very keen in all aspects of the construction process.I would highly recommend his services to everyone seeking an honest and responsible reno advisor.It was a pleasure to work for Reiner as a Contractor.Reiners Company Slogan shouls read as "The Devil is in the Detail"I Thabk you Reiner for the opportunity and I Hope in the Future we can do Business again. fabio Southbeach Pools
