Installation-related questions

When can you start … and finish?

Once you have submitted the request for a free consultation, one of our installers will contact you within 24 to 48 hours to book an appointment. They will then revise with you the different systems and help you choose the right one that best suits your needs.

After you have chosen the installation service and made your choice, our installer will contact you in the following 24 hours to book an appointment to schedule the installation and proceed with your project.

For small projects, the work is usually done within a few days. For major projects such as kitchen and bathroom renovations, please allow additional time for essential steps including in-store consultations to create the plan, measuring process, and work order issuance.

Bear in mind that product availability, weather conditions, client availability, and work area conditions may have an impact on project timelines.

How do you ensure that your customers are satisfied?

Throughout the project, we provide constant customer care. Upon project completion, both the installer and customer inspect the work that has been carried out to ensure that it meets the customer’s expectations. If all is approved, the customer signs a work acceptance form. Finally, we contact each customer after the installation is completed asking them to fill out a survey for feedback on the job’s execution.

Are you insured for damage and accidents?

Yes, all RONA installers have liability insurance.

Whom should I call if I have a problem: RONA or the installer?

Do I have to give a deposit?

Yes, a 50% deposit is required when you sign the installation services contract. The remaining 50% must be paid before the work begins. Alternatively, the full amount can be paid when signing the contract.

Shawn the adviser (Moose Jaw Rona) was brilliant, helped us so much, nothing was too much trouble and he kept us up to date and answered any of my queries straight away.

Everything was mostly done via internet & telephone which is comforting. The installation rep got back to me asap & was able to answer all my questions. The installer was quiet & efficient & the quality of work excellent! He was also patient (my 5 yr old kept bugging him).

John Johnson, British Columbia

We were very grateful to Tanya Lakatos who guided us through the process. Her professional approach, expertise and customer service is exceptional. Without her assistance we would have experienced a lot of frustration. She was able to explain all we needed to know, advocate for us and acted as our representative with the countertop company. She always had our interest in mind and created loyal RONA customers. Thank you so much.
