bathroom reno

Cory did fantastic work on our bathroom reno, taking it from totally run down to spectacular. All throughout, he showed himself not just really good at the craft (especially tile setting), but friendly, dependable, and excellent at communicating different possibilities with their pros and cons. Cory is very detailed-oriented and makes sure that all jobs are completed to the highest demand, he is considerate, and it's always worth listening to his suggestions and advice: he opened us to options that we had not considered and which made a really good impact on the final product (like the herringbone pattern for the floor tiles). In our reno, he also went beyond the external aesthetics and made sure that the underlying condition of the cramped bathroom in our very old house was left in a much better situation than it was (solid framing, good insulation and waterproofing, perfectly level floor). The job, as often happens, went through some unexpected delays (through no fault of Cory's) when poor underlying conditions needed to be remedied and other subcontractors did not keep to their schedule; in these situations Cory was just as helpful and level-headed, which contributed to our peace of mind in this stressful situation. Overall, Cory did an excellent job and was an extremely pleasant person to have around, I would certainly recommend him for similar jobs.

Bathroom Remodel

Cory kindly reached out to me to offer his help after hearing about my botched bathroom remodel started by another contractor. Cory was provided a very detailed quote to redo the shower stall. The work involved removing the previous contractor's work, reframing, and tiling the shower stall, niche, and bench. I was very pleased with Cory's professionalism and communication. He always made sure that I was happy during each stage of the process. His tile work is top notch and I would highly recommend him for all of your tiling needs.

Foyer and bathroom reno

We were very happy to work with Cory from River Reed Contracting. Right from the beginning, there was clear communication - he was very responsive and clear. He is very attentive to detail, which shows in the precision of the tile work. Our basement bathroom is now brighter and more welcoming. Our front foyer is no longer squeaky when you walk on it. It was a great experience, and we would definitely work with him again.

Re siliconing my bathtub area and floor grout cleaning

The silicon in the shower area was moldy and need to be redone. As well the bathroom floor grout was yellowing so Cory cleaned it with a metal brush and baking and hydrogen peroxide. It looks as good as new. The bathroom looks brand new!!!

I was very happy with the job Cory did.

Herringbone Kitchen tile

Cory worked his magic again and made our kitchen tile look wonderful. As it's an old home, there were areas that needed ramps for every walkway into hallway, washroom, outside and basement flush. It was done to perfection. Cory also order a matching vent for us and it was perfect. If you want attention to detail and someone who knows how to tile intricately then use River Reed!

Bathroom renovation

We hired Cory to do a major renovation on our small, almost unusable upstairs bathroom. It required significant work (structural, HVAC, electrical) and Cory made us feel confident he’d be able to handle it and get most of the work done while we were on vacation.

We liked his friendliness and confidence and the attention to detail in his quote. We didn’t ask for any other quotes and just went with him.

This was a big job in an old house and it was not without its hiccups. Cory handled them all professionally and it never felt like we had to deal with it or worry about it. As two working professionals with small kids this was a relief.

Cory was also flexible to let us do some of the work (demo/painting) ourselves which we appreciated.

The end product was beautiful and function, especially considering what a small space it is. We love our new bathroom and would recommend Cory to anyone!

We Love our Kitchen and Pantry Backsplash

We are so happy with the service and final product that Cory provided us. Since our initial contact, Cory was professional and always responded quickly with detail. He shared a detailed outline of the project and costs that made it easy to understand the scope of work. Cory was also committed to ensuring that we love the backsplash. He took extra time and effort to check every last detail and clean up after himself. Cory was also exceptionally approachable and open. He was a pleasure to work with. We continue to walk to our kitchen just for the purpose of admiring his work. We are so happy.
