Kitchen, bathroom and basement renovations across Oshawa and Durham Region, designed with you, priced in writing and built by the Ramsauer family.
Jim, Michael and Cameron Ramsauer. Owners, and the people you’ll actually deal with.
A renovation should end with a room you can’t wait to use: the kitchen everyone gathers in, an ensuite that feels like a retreat, a basement that finally earns its square footage. We design it with you, put the price in writing and stay until every detail is right.

We renovate kitchens, bathrooms and basements, build legal basement apartments, decks and fences, and take on full home and commercial renovations for homeowners and businesses in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Courtice, Bowmanville and across Durham Region.

We worked with Ramsauer Renovations to enlarge and renovate our primary bathroom/ensuite. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. From the initial meet and greet, the design consultation, to the breakdown of time line and prices, up the very end. Ramsauer renovations were a delight to work with. They were communicative, responsive and detail oriented. Demo days were quick and the crew always ended the day with vacuuming and cleaning their work area. They were respectable and mindful to the fact that we remained living in house during renos. They were very attentive to design details and you could tell they took pride in their craftsmanship. Ramsauer Renovations were reliable on time lines and pricing, their estimations also proved to be very accurate. We felt comfortable approaching them with any questions and concerns and never felt anxious about having them in our house unsupervised while we were at work. Overall this was a fantastic experience and we couldnt be happier with our new primary ensuite bathroom. We would definitely be turning to Ramsauer Renovations for any future projects and 100% recommend their services.
The Ramsauer team did a fabulous job on building a new deck in my backyard along with a matching garden planter. Cameron’s workmanship was impeccable. His creative skills and building talent combined with his easygoing personality and attention to detail were unmatched. He completely met my vision and did it with seemingly little effort. Cameron is a natural builder whom I would definitely hire again. Thank you to Jim, Cameron and the Ramsauer team.
Jim and his crew converted my basement into a legal 1 bedroom. Amazing, hardworking team! Jim understood all my requirements and turned them into reality. Everything was done on time and in budget. Highly recommend.
Jason and Michael did a great job with my bathroom. The waterproofing and tiling job was exceptional! Everything turned out beautiful. It was a pleasure dealing with Jim on the project. He came by several times and answered all questions. I highly recommend.
Ramsauer Reno renovated my basement with top notch professional service. We received great quality service and communication quickly and they were easy to work with. Jim and his team were always willing to answer my questions or make a recommendation even after the work was completed. Every aspect of the project was done professionally with great products and great service. They were neat and clean. I have no hesitation in recommending Ramsauer Reno to anyone thinking of renovating their basement or home renovation. We will definitely be using Ramsauer Reno for our next home improvement project!
I recently had my stairs renovated and I’m very happy with the results. The team was professional, reliable, and their workmanship was excellent. It’s clear they take pride in their work and care about customer satisfaction. The finished stairs look beautiful and have completely transformed the space. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality renovation work. Thank you Jim, Cameron, and Michael for the fantastic job!
Very pleased with the job the team did finishing our basement. They are a dependable, hardworking and very talented bunch, indeed. Their pricing was very reasonable and the project finished a day ahead of schedule. The finished product looked fantastic! I’ll for sure be calling them again for more work.
I can’t say enough good things about these guys. They are great people and their work is outstanding. I had the floors done in my bathroom and on my main level as well as all new baseboards and trims and I couldn’t be happier. Let’s plan the next project! Thanks guys! Highly recommend!
I did legal basement project with them. They are professional, know what they are doing and how things work. They do work timely, and are flexible to your schedules. Don’t compromise on quality and are patient to go through rounds of inspections with add on things to do and fix each time. I highly recommend them and wish all the best for their future projects. Keep these work ethics alive.
I have used Ramsauer Reno now for two renovations. First one was replacing carpet with flooring in two adjoining rooms and the second was replacing the front porch railing. Jim came to the house for the original quote and explained things thoroughly. His team completed both projects very quickly. The work was expertly done, and the team was friendly and polite. I highly recommend them and would hire this company again in the future.
A family business with a personal touch and yet a professional approach. Excellent work was performed on our drywall installation and a subsequent repair due to a water leak which was unrelated to the work performed by Jim and his crew.
Excellent work, they will work with you to ensure your project meets your needs and budget. Ramsaur Reno has renovated 2 bathrooms for me, extremely satisfied with both.
The Ramsauer team assisted with the design, gut, expansion and rebuild of our primary washroom, modifying it to a four piece with a custom shower. The work was very precise and we are extremely pleased. Pricing fell in the upper third of normal charges for the work performed, even with unexpected mitigation’s that added to the time and costs of the project. Customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend this business.

Our promise
Quotes that change.Contractors that vanish.Budgets blown.Not with us.
Six things you can hold us to on every project. Open any of them to see why it matters, how we do it, and what to look for in any contractor.
When the scope of work is vague, the price is too. A quote that does not spell out what is included leaves room for "that wasn’t in the quote" later.
You get a written, itemized quote that describes the work phase by phase, lists allowances for the finishes you pick, and says what is not included. You approve it before anything starts.
Surprise bills at the end of a job are one of the most common renovation complaints, and they almost always come from changes nobody put in writing.
If anything changes, whether it is your idea or something we find behind a wall, we price it and get your written approval before we do the work. No approval, no extra.
When you have to chase the office, the site lead and three trades for answers, details fall through the cracks and decisions get made without you.
One of our owners manages your project and is your go-to person from start to finish. You always know who to call, and they know your job inside out.
Silence is what makes renovations stressful. Not knowing what is happening, or what is next, makes every small delay feel like a big one.
We keep you updated on progress, what is coming next, and any decisions we need from you, so you are never left guessing about your own home.
Most delays are avoidable: materials ordered too late, trades not booked in order, problems spotted only once they are expensive.
We order long-lead items like cabinets and windows early, schedule trades in the right sequence, and flag issues as soon as we see them, before they hold up your project.
Contractors who disappear once they are paid leave homeowners with unfinished details and nobody to call when something goes wrong.
Every job ends with a final walkthrough and a list of anything left to fix, and our 2-year written warranty means we stand behind the work long after we pack up.
