Frequently asked questions

We handle full bathroom and kitchen renovations, basement finishing, interior repairs, interlock, decks, fencing, landscaping, water protection and plumbing work. The services page lists the specific work we offer. If your project crosses several trades, send us the full scope so we can discuss it together.

You can ask about either. The site includes smaller work such as drywall finishing, doors and trim, deck repairs, fence posts and exterior caulking alongside full renovations. Tell us what needs attention and where the property is; we can confirm whether it fits our schedule and scope.

Call or text 613-298-6253, or email RW Contracting. Describe the work, include your Ottawa area location and send photos or rough measurements if you have them. The site offers free estimates.

A short description, the property location, a few clear photos and any measurements you already have are useful. For renovations, tell us what you want to keep or change; for drainage or repair work, describe the problem and when it occurs. We can then discuss what needs an on-site look.

Yes. RW Contracting describes its work as coordinating projects involving several trades from start to finish. Tell us about the entire project early, including plumbing, electrical, finishing and outdoor work, so the estimate can reflect the actual scope rather than a single isolated task.

Yes. The site invites Ottawa area homeowners to request a free estimate. The price for a particular job depends on the site conditions, material choices and agreed scope; contact us with details rather than relying on a generic online price.

Photos and approximate dimensions help start the conversation, but hidden conditions and site access can affect the work. We may need to review the space before defining a reliable scope and estimate. Send what you have and we will explain the next step.

The existing condition of the room, demolition needs, layout changes, material selections and the trades involved all shape the scope. A bathroom with moved plumbing or a basement needing framing and water protection is different from a cosmetic update. We discuss those details before pricing the work.

The service pages explain that hidden conditions or changes discovered during work are discussed before extra work is added. Examples might include damaged subfloor or unexpected conditions behind a wall. The exact change and cost should be documented for the specific project.

Yes. We review the existing conditions, talk through your goals and put together an estimate for the agreed scope. If you are deciding between repair and replacement, tell us what is failing, your priorities and any budget range you are comfortable sharing.

RW Contracting is based in Ottawa and serves Ottawa and surrounding communities. The service area page lists neighbourhoods and nearby areas, but availability for a particular address should be confirmed when you contact us.

We discuss projects in Kanata and Stittsville. Send the address or neighbourhood and a description of the job so we can confirm availability for your property.

Yes, the site includes Barrhaven and Nepean among the communities where we discuss projects. Share your location and the work you need so we can confirm the next step.

The site names Orléans and Gloucester in its Ottawa area coverage. Contact us with your location and project details to confirm availability for your address.

Possibly. We serve Ottawa and surrounding areas, and the right answer depends on your address and the scope of work. Send your location with a few project details and we can confirm whether it is within our current service area.

Yes. Our bathroom renovation service covers full remodels as well as tile, vanities and finishing details. Tell us whether the layout is staying the same or whether fixtures, walls or plumbing need to move.

Custom showers are a listed service. A proposal can account for the shower layout, base, waterproofing approach, tile and glass details. Visit the custom shower page and share your inspiration and room measurements to discuss the scope.

A bathroom renovation can involve plumbing changes, but the feasibility depends on the existing structure, drain and supply locations and the proposed layout. Send plans or photos and describe what you want moved; we can review the scope with the appropriate trades.

Yes. Tile installation is listed separately from full bathroom renovations. The substrate, waterproofing needs, tile choice and layout all matter, especially in a wet area. Tell us where the tile is going and what is currently there.

Yes. Kitchen renovations are on the service list. Share your proposed layout, cabinetry plan and any changes to plumbing, electrical, flooring or finishes so the work can be considered as one project.

Yes. The basement finishing service includes framing, drywall, doors, flooring, trim and paint. Water and drainage conditions should be understood before finishes are installed, so tell us about any past moisture concerns.

Yes. Our drywall service includes installation and finishing. Share the room dimensions, ceiling height and whether the walls are open, damaged or already boarded so we can define the work.

Yes. Flooring installation is listed for renovation work. The condition and level of the subfloor, the material selected and any old flooring removal affect the plan. Mention any water damage or uneven areas at the start.

Yes. We offer interior doors and trim. Photos and measurements of the openings help, but the condition of the frames, walls and flooring transitions also needs to be considered.

Interior painting is one of our listed services, and it can be part of a larger basement or room renovation. Let us know which surfaces need primer, paint or repairs so the finishing work is included in the project scope.

Yes. Deck building is a listed service. Tell us the approximate size, height, preferred materials and how you want the deck to connect to your home or yard so we can discuss the design and site conditions.

We offer deck repairs as well as new builds. An extension or repair needs a look at the existing framing and support, not only the deck boards. Send photos of the structure and describe what you want changed.

Yes. Fence installation is listed on the site. Share the approximate run length, desired height and style, and any gates or grade changes that affect the layout.

Yes. Fence post replacement is a separate service. Let us know how many posts are leaning or rotted and whether surrounding rails or boards are damaged too.

The site lists hot tub removal and deck infill. Send photos showing how the tub sits in the deck, the access route and the surrounding framing so we can discuss removal and the finished surface together.

Yes. We offer interlock patio installation. Share the approximate area, intended use, access and paver preferences. Base preparation and drainage are part of defining a suitable plan.

Our lift and relay service addresses existing interlock that needs to be taken up and reset. Photos of the low spots, edges and surrounding drainage help us review the likely scope.

Yes. Walkways and steps are listed services. Tell us about the route, elevation change and how the new stone should meet the driveway, porch or other existing surfaces.

We list both yard grading and sod installation. If water collects in a particular area, point it out before new sod is planned so the underlying grade can be considered.

Yes. Garden beds and edging are listed alongside interlock and landscaping. Send a sketch or photos showing the patio edge, planting areas and any trees or structures the bed must work around.

Yes. Our sump pump installation service covers new work and replacement as part of a water management project. The existing pit, water entry, discharge route and electrical needs affect the approach.

Battery backup sump pumps are listed as a separate service. Tell us about the current pump and pit, available space and power setup so we can discuss a suitable system.

Yes. Backwater valve installation is listed. The sewer line location, access and existing plumbing layout determine the work involved. Send any drain or basement plans you have and describe any backup history.

Yes. The plumbing page lists new home rough-ins. Share your plans, fixture locations and construction timeline so the supply, drain and vent work can be scoped with the build.

A sump pump moves collected groundwater out of a sump pit; a backwater valve is used on a drain line to address sewer backup risk. They solve different problems. Our homeowner guide explains the distinction, and a site review helps determine which issue you are facing.

Yes. Window well installation is listed. Tell us whether soil reaches the window, water collects in the well or the grading directs runoff toward it. The drainage connection and site conditions need review before work is scoped.

Yes. We offer eavestrough installation and repair. Photos of the full roof edge and the trouble spot help show whether you need replacement, a repair or changes to how water is directed away.

Yes. Downspouts and extensions are listed. Show us where the existing outlet ends and where water collects so we can discuss a practical route.

Both siding repairs and exterior vent replacement appear on the service list. Send close-up and wider photos so we can identify the damaged area, access and matching needs.

Yes. Exterior caulking is listed for exterior joints. Let us know which windows, doors or other openings need attention, and include photos of any gaps or failing sealant.

That depends on the condition of the framing and supports as well as the boards you can see. Send photos and describe soft spots, movement or rot. Our deck repair or rebuild guide can help you frame the decision before an assessment.

If the basement has active or recurring moisture, tell us before planning finished walls and flooring. Window wells, grading and sump pump work are among the services we offer, and the source of water should be understood as part of the project plan.

Yes. The Our work gallery shows actual RW Contracting projects, including interlock, landscaping, fencing and window well work. Some service pages also use clearly labelled illustrative images to explain equipment or installations.

Visit Tips and Tricks by Riley for homeowner guides linked to the services. The guides cover planning questions such as bathroom renovations, interlock, drainage, drywall and deck work.

Contact us with a description and photos. RW Contracting handles a broad range of renovations, outdoor projects and home improvements, but we should confirm a specific request rather than assume every possible job is offered.
