Ken was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, helpful, patient and willing to explain things as he went along. A first-rate skilled workman I would have no hesitation in recommending.

Review Posted by Gillian

The Reno King has just finished closing in our carport to make an insulated, enclosed garage that actually makes the house look more attractive!! The team was friendly and pleasant to have on-site, they priced competitively and they communicated well - but if you asked me, what is the single-most important thing you need to know about The Reno King? It's that they care - they care about the choice of materials, about finding the best solution to challenges encountered, about how the project will look, and about the quality of every aspect of what they do - yes, there were surprises when we dug down, yes, we went over budget, yes, it took longer than expected, but there was no cutting corners, no quick & dirty, no "...more

We recently had Marcello complete some work in our home. We are just thrilled with the results! I have a very picky standard for quality of craftmanship in my home and Marcello didn't disappoint. His attention to detail and customer service was excellent. He's also just a genuinely nice and friendly guy. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. Highly recommended!!

Reno..devastatingly cold floors, heat loss
House is about 50 years old. 2400 sq feet. Cold floors are in second story general living space hard wood flooring and lineoleum. Second story rooms are over unheated areas in mostly finished basement some area is over inclosed carport and an addition 1987 of a sunroom off the living room which is over the great outdoors. We are retired so not using lower level nor wanting to heat Open plan so one very cold area draws heat from other areas. Lots of glass over which we now have window coverings for heat loss. Underneath, much of this area in the finished basement is T bar ceiling. There is the pink insulation which doesn't appear to be effective re heat loss. Had energy experts in over the years and they basically said get more heat sources. Hate to be pumping more heat to Greater Vancouver. They said the cost to do anything would not be cost effective or make that much difference. We looked at blowing insulation into the roof of carport area but it is not T Bar. It is plaster so backed off from that.idea. Looked at putting electrical heating from underneath but my husband said impossible with pipes and electrical in place. Way to expensive and complicated. Just wondering if there was anything new that might be doable or cost effective. I have developed a severe foot circulation problem and needing to somehow keep my feet warm.

Hi Darilyn, you have a tough situation. The only way to keep the heat in your home is to ensure that your living space is surrounded by insulation, in other words you have to create an "envelope" around the spaces you are using. Once you do that, the existing heat sources should be able to keep up. You are feeling the effects of not having enough insulation in the right places. If you have a finished basement, that is actually part of your living space. You can't just abandon it and turn off the heat as that will create a whole bunch of other problems that can get really expensive - moisture and mould are not cheap things to deal with once they become established. I would open the vents or turn on the heat down there to make sure you are creating some air flow and at least getting rid of any humidity. This will also help to warm some of the floors and your feet! If you can't or don't want to insulate then I am afraid that the other energy experts are right - you need more heat sources or turn up what you have. Good Luck with it!

Foundation Edge Removal
Hi, We would like to know if we can remove a small section of the foundation so that the new tiles will go right up to the wall. The size to be removed would be; Length 8'4", width 3", height 1 3/4". Thanks Dave G

Hi Dave If I see this right , I'm looking at the footing of your house for some reason, not the floor. If this is true, it's not a good idea to use a jack hammer on any footing, your just asking for trouble. If you need to remove a small amount of material as you say, cut it with a 4" side grinder and a diamond saw, its messy and dustly so you need a shop vac and 2 people. Cut slots as deep as the saw will cut , try 1" apart at first then go wider, brake the peaces out with a hammer and cold chisel, re-level with modified thin set when you do your tile. This is not the easy way, but it beats foundation work in the future from a cracked footing. P.S. if it is the floor, jack hammer away , the floor is not structural, a bag of cement with latex additive will fix any mistakes. John Miller Superior Handyman
