Rusch Design build is our go to for all our own renovations. Over a number of years they have renovated our kitchen and bathrooms, redone our driveway and front and back concrete walkways, refinished all of our hardwood floors, replaced our basement flooring, and repainted our entire home including replacing baseboards. All of their work has been top notch and they go above and beyond to provide personal and responsive service. I highly recommend!

We engaged Rusch to complete a renovation of our kitchen and living room which they completed on budget and exactly on schedule. They were dream contractors: respectful, communicative, talented, and dealt with any hiccups/issues calmly and effectively. We did a lot of research before hiring Rusch and heard from many vendors, customers, etc. that they keep to their schedule. We were skeptical, but our biggest wish was to be back in our kitchen for the holiday season. They delivered on this and so much more. We love our renovated space - they made our vision come to life and made the process almost painless. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We hired Rusch for a kitchen and powder room renovation. From the earliest ice-breaking conversations to design meetings through to having Rusch employees and sub-contractors on-site, we had a professional and customer-centric experience from start to finish. When issues arose, the team was sensitive to our concerns and solutions-focused. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and would recommend the conscientious team at Rusch for home renovation and rejuvenation projects.

Thank you Rusch team for partnering with us and refreshing our home. The design and colour selection process was efficient, fun, and complete with drawings and renderings. Project Manager Brad is very experienced and was transparent, proactive, responsive, and genuine. He also managed any changes quickly and properly. The Rusch staff carpenters were prompt, clean, and very respectful. Same goes for their preferred subcontractors who were also prompt, clean, and respectful. The whole team was on a first name basis with us (and our neighbours). We strongly recommend giving Oliver and Tawnya a shot at any project. Their projects can be seen on their videos.
All the best Rusch team and we look forward to working with you again.

Rusch Design managed our extensive (primarily exterior) renovations on our heritage home. They had been recommended to us by City heritage planners and were very adept on the project. It was a really protracted job, mostly because of material shortages triggered by the pandemic DIY boom. At the end of the project, we received many compliments on the revitalized exterior cedar siding and roofing, and new windows, all of which are not only beautiful, but have significantly improved insulation and air gaps in our 1912 vintage house.
Phillip Rusch, the founder, had built a strong group of craftsmen to work on the interior, where we recreated the (long ago damaged and removed) header mouldings from the one remaining original. The result was stunning, although delayed by the closing of the main supplier of one of the components in Calgary. They persevered and the result does credit to the vintage structure. Phillip is very hands on and was over immediately in the case of crisis, such as a door that wouldn’t lock or the results of an ice dam.
Various extensions of the project occurred, both with the casings and new patio doors (the old ones failed during the construction period). As such, coming to a defined end and sign-off was a little difficult, although we finally got there. Phillip’s integrity and commitment to his clients is impressive and we would definitely recommend him, particularly on heritage projects.

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 built our beautiful custom home a few years ago. We had an excellent experience with Philip, Oliver, Jeff and the entire team. The staff were professional and you can tell they truly care about their projects. Communication from start to finish and even after finishing the house was top notch. With every new house there will be small things needing adjustments and fixing, and Rusch was always there to get things done. We really value that as they are a building long lasting relationship. Highly recommended if looking to build your custom home.

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.
