Don't believe the first four positive reviews on this site. This is the worst builder in the Province. Thomas Ling is a thief who does very poor quality work and tries to rip off his clients every chance he gets. Stay far away from this company and the Ling (father and son team). Just awful.
This company should be avoided at all costs. They lie, the use employees that have no clue what they are doing and are not qualified or licensed. They do not get permits and when they do they don't follow the. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
OMG stay away from this contractor!
The worst work you will ever find. They work fast and take every shortcut you can ever find. They cover up everything such as cut main beams in the house and did not support anything, had to open walls and found disasters.
Don't trust them, everything from plumbing, electrical, deck building, insulations, you name it they do it wrong. He hires illegal people who are not trained.
Don't trust douglas ling, douglas thomas ling, or thomas ling. RM Homes or the reno man or what ever name he gives you. He lies cheats and steals your money.
He does not answer the city inspector, he does not answer his phone, his voice mail is always full and he makes lots of mistakes on the project. He does not pay his workers or his trades, he leaves you stuck with bills.
AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!! I engaged RM Homes after reviewing proposals from 6 other home renovation companies. Part of my reason for engaging RM Homes was based on the Best of Trusted Pros rating and reviews posted pre-April on this website.
I negotiated an agreement with RM Homes that included payment based on work completion (although they like to use the phrase - ' substantial completion'). We had a committed completion date that did appear to be overly optimistic, however, they made every assurance that this would be easily achievable.
After initial deposit, they commenced the demolition of the house in earnest and this was great as work was going on.
As demolition continued, I set up meetings with them to ensure everything was in order for them to move from the demolition phase to rebuild phase. They made commitments that everything was in order and at the same time were coming back asking for more money based on 'substantial completion'. I pushed back on one payment as I found that the work completed did not agree with 'substantial completion'. There response was a new work schedule and identified that this was due to errors they made in the schedule.
Next came the first work delay, 5 days of no worker on site. After continual calls work re-commenced and they continued on of course with more payment requests as per schedule.
Net result, since July 6 2015, they have been onsite at my house 3 times. Project is at most 30% complete. They use the cheapest products available (pot lights). The quality of work done is average at best.
I question if their employees are actually certified - (plumbers, electricians).
Like others who have posted, they do not respond to any calls, voicemails, emails, text messages or letters.
I have never in my dealings both professionally or personally dealt with such an Unprofessional Company.
AVOID this company
They should finish my house on July, but they did not until now September 4/2015
They took my money ,they do half the jobs then stopped working at all and when I try to contact them they did not answer the phone. They are not respect their costumers.
RM Homes came and met with us on a few occasions. We signed a contract with them and provided them with a cash deposit of $5,000. The work was to start on August 6, 2015 and be completed by August 20, 2015. They provided us with the initial drawings for the project on August 20th at about 5 pm.
They have violated the contractor portion of the agreement, were sent a notice of default, and they have failed to return the deposit or to complete any of the work. They don't return phone calls and don't respond to correspondence. At this point all we want is our money back for the deposit.
Think twice before signing an agreement with this company.
They took $5000 and didn't do any work . Beware of these fraud people. They take money and then come two times but don't do any work . They look professional but don't go by the looks ... I have been trying to get hold of them but they don't answer the phone ..
