Outstanding craftsmanship and service. Ryan and his wife are wonderful people with many years of experience in renovation and construction. It shows in how they handle challenging projects and make everything turn out perfect with great attention to detail. Very happy with the work and their reliability!
This winter we had our ensuite renovated and a small amount of work done in our living room to remove popcorn ceiling, install some LED lighting and painting plus a small fixture replacement in another upstairs bath. Pictures are only shown for the main ensuite reno.
After having done numerous renovations on a couple of homes (our own and for in-laws) with other contractors over the past 15 years, we always look for contractors that fit our criteria before we sign any contracts. The last contractor we employed several years ago did a great job on our kitchen reno but then we understand his business went sour (was only active for about three years but up until then had great reviews). This time we decided to look for a company that has a bit of a longer standing history in the business and we went with WT Services. Our criteria for contractors generally includes:
- strong knowledge of the construction process and building codes,
- trades to cover all aspects,
- reasonable pricing,
- good communications,
- use of written contracts,
- recent references and preferably affiliation and good standing with MBHA or the BBB, and,
- the patience to work with an involved, detail oriented clients
WT Services fulfilled the bulk of our criteria especially the most important aspects, and we felt very confident that Ryan would do a good job. The renovations provided were as follows:
- Ceiling scraping, mudding, painting (both ensuite and living room)
- Install LED living room lighting
- Remove existing vanity cabinet and whirlpool tub intact for resale
- Ensuite demo
- Installing new tile with in-floor Ditra heating
- Construct custom shower with marble tile/ porcelain
- Install new soaker tub
- Moving plumbing structures as required
- Install new ceiling fan
Pros:
- Crew (Ryan and Tiffany) were friendly, knowledgeable and impeccably on time each day; sub-contractor Garth (WRM Plumbing) was excellent, knowledgeable, efficient and always had extra pairs of hands when required
- The price was very reasonable and the quality of work was excellent.
- Great communications and open to explanations and ideas.
- Did their best to control dust for high allergy suffering clients.
- If a detail that was overlooked, Ryan would correct it.
- If something went unexpectedly wrong during the reno (and it did), Ryan was quick to fix it even though there was extra “re-work”.
- Ryan and Garth managed to get house inspections completed rather quickly after calling them in so the delay was minimal.
- If Ryan could find a way to reduce some costs, he would present it.
Cons:
- The project took longer than it should even including a two other things plus the ensuite in the scope of work. This is not all a fault of WT Services but it definitely went on long for a variety of reasons but it is a small thing if you are a patient home owner and this wasn’t our first rodeo with renos. The project also started a couple of weeks before the Christmas break but still after adding that in, the renos reached the 3.5 month mark from start to finish.
-WT Services does not have a regular sub-contracting electrician as they do a plumber. The sub-contract electrical company was quite expensive so we were motivated to opt to find our own electrician. Some of the project extended time came back to this topic but the work was done to satisfaction (and code). In fact some small things got fixed that during the original house build were not done quite proper.
Overall we were very happy with the renovation and work done by WT Services. We are recommending them to a family member who is looking at some exterior work.
All construction by WT Services and sub-contractors. Vanity cabinet and medicine cabinet supplied and installed by Hawthorne Kitchen & Bath Cabinetry. Backsplash and counter stone (granite) supplied by Western Marble. Custom shower glass by Solidity Glass & Shower. Flooring from AMES Tile. Ensuite design and wood refinishing by homeowners.
Thanks for your terrific review Micheal! You and your family were great to work for! You guys were always prepared, did your homework and knew what your wanted, thanks for making the job a pleasure.

WT Services was recommended to us by a friend. Our first meeting with Ryan was extremely positive and what we liked the most was that Ryan listened to what our wants were and made suggestions when necessary.
The special duo of Tiffany and Ryan complimented each other. They are both professional, hard working, and very knowledgeable. When asked for their opinion or help with making a decision they seemed to be very in tune with our style and what would work best.
Ryan was easy to communicate with, showed up when they said they would and always made sure to clean up before leaving for the day. Their work ethic is of extremely high quality, and stuck to the time frame they had set out for finishing each room they worked on.
Ryan and Tiffany were essential in helping us turn our home from the 40’s into a more modern version and helping us to achieve this goal. We were worried about starting our renovations but Ryan and Tiffany helped this transition move very smoothly.
Ryan takes charge in every aspect which includes the plumbing and electrical. We also had a good experience with both tradesmen and tradeswomen he recommend using.
Would highly recommend this dynamic duo for any of your renovations be it small or large.
My condo is 25+ years old and I've been upgrading a little here and there. Ryan had redone one of the bathrooms at my Mom's Condo, so I saw his work well before I decided to do my Condo bathroom. His quote was detailed and reasonably priced.
I hired WT Services to renovate my bathroom, install new laminate floors, baseboards and casings.
Ryan and Tiffany showed up on time each morning, did what they said they would get done then removed all debris and cleaned up before leaving. I had nothing to worry/stress about and looked forward to coming home to see the daily progress.
My bathroom took a week to do and included a new soaker tub, vanity, porcelain flooring, wall cabinet, towel accessories and rerouting some plumbing to include a niche in the shower wall. I had use of my toilet and sink the entire week. The tub was out of commission for 3 days while the new tiles were setting. I LOVE my new bathroom.
When they started the flooring, it was the same routine. They planned it, showed up on time, did what they had scheduled and cleaned up prior to leaving each day. They even painted the new baseboards, casings and interior doors! They surpassed my expectations 100%.
Honestly, I felt they went out of their way to make sure the flooring process was completely painless considering the upheaval. I never felt inconvenienced during either of these renovations.
Ryan is patient and a natural planner. They come prepared and worked very efficiently every day; with Tiffany they are the perfect compliment of experience, knowledge and discipline. They picked up on my style and offered suggestions, needless to say, their suggestions were right-on, and I'm very pleased I went with them. Sometimes you think you know what you want until the professionals show up and show you a better way!
They are very easy to get ahold of and returned calls promptly. They truly made the work painless for me. Both Ryan and Tiffany are very professional and GOOD PEOPLE. I felt respected and confident that they are worth the choice. I recommend this dynamic duo!
The first time my husband and I hired Ryan was back in 2009. We hired him to do our hardwood floors in our main floor living space. We were so happy with his work we hired him again in 2016 to remodel our basement bathroom. It was a total gut job. The final product was beautiful! When it came to the bathroom I had some pretty specific things I wanted. Ryan was very helpful and accommodating. He took the time to walk through each of my ideas and had some ideas of his own. We had a budget and were very clear we needed to stay within it. Ryan definitely took that into consideration when giving his ideas. Before Ryan started the project and along the way he was very good at communicating with both myself and my husband as to what he was doing. For both of the jobs Ryan showed up on time ready to work. At the end of each work day he was very good at cleaning up his work space. Ryan is very professional and a very hard worker. We would recommend him to anyone! And we will definitely be calling him for our next renovation!!!
We hired WT Services (Ryan) on the recommendation of friends who had used his services and were extremely pleased with the finished product. From the start to finish of quite an extensive renovation we could not be happier with Ryan's professionalism, quality of work, and attention to detail. Ryan always took the time to listen to our questions and concerns throughout the project. He worked with us to find solutions and to accommodate our last minute mind changes. We would not hesitate to recommend him. As a side note, we were also pleased with Garth McDonald of W.R.M. Plumbing INC. who worked with Ryan.
Ryan is not able to think outside the box. He is not able to take direction or criticism from women. He is rigid in his thinking as well. He called the City Of Winnipeg to tell them that I did not have permits on my reno even though he worked on these himself. The report included information that he knew to be false to further agitate the inspectors. They told me that the was from Ryan. They were not impressed when they realized that this complaint was based on retaliation.
I take pride in my problem solving skills, and thinking outside the box when the situation warrants it. There are some basic fundamental practices that must be maintained to ensure safety for all. I have worked successfully with many homeowners, men and women, to created and build their ideas and dreams and have received great feedback and reviews.
I never called the City of Winnipeg to report this customer, she was acting as the General Contractor and hired a plumber and electrician she had used before. If they had pulled permits for this job I did not know. I would never provide false information to anyone let alone city inspectors or jeopardize my relationship with them just to get back at someone, once again this call or report to the city did not come from me.
I stand by my work and will let my reputation speak for itself.

The service is always Great!!!! he is a wonderful person to have any maintenance work done by. Ryan worked in our Downtown office a few times. Very friendly and on time and also very professional, we will use no one but him!
I hired WT Services (Ryan Dodds) to completely renovate my 3rd floor condo, 9 foot high main bathroom. It was a positive experience from start to finish. Ryan arrived for the initial lookaround with his plumber counterpart, Garth Macdonald (WRM Plumbing). Very professional. Ryan arrived on time, worked the entire time he was on the job and took the time for all my many questions and explained all the new products he would be using in my shower. Ryan takes a lot of pride in the work he does as does Garth. The tiling job in my new shower and the entire bathroom is spectacular! I would recommend Ryan without hesitation. I am penciled in for another, smaller reno in October. I Love my new bathroom.
We LOVE our newly renovated bathroom. What a positive experience from start to finish with Ryan. He was so professional. This is a contractor who arrives on time, works the whole time he is on the job, very approachable, great listener, helps us with solutions of choice, came in on time and on budget and takes pride in the work he does. We trusted him with the hiring of a plumber and he did not steer us wrong. Wow, now we are looking around to see what we can do next. We recommend Ryan without hesitation. As we said before. We Love our newly renovated bathroom.
