“After making the decision to build on Vancouver Island, we started looking around at some of the different builders in the area and quickly realized that the quality and craftsmanship of Rathy Homes was second to none. What made the building experience incomparable was the personal attention from Doug to every detail from start to finish. All our concerns and questions were always given immediate attention and we always felt like we were Doug’s number one priority. We appreciated the fact that we were kept informed and treated like an important part of the process. Without question we would highly recommend Rathy Homes to anyone thinking of building a new home. Thank you, Doug!”

“Rathy Homes built my house during the Covid pandemic. Doug managed the emerging material and supply chain issues very effectively and gave me good advice throughout. The result was my home built to the style and standard I had hoped for and I love it. I highly recommend Rathy Homes.”

“In 1991, we contracted with Doug Rathy to build us a special 3-level home in Rocky Point, Nanaimo, BC. We found Doug to be a trustworthy and conscientious builder. When we wished to make some major changes in our home 20 years later we had no qualms about calling Doug to do them. We have every confidence in Rathy Homes, Renovations & Interior Design.”
– Mary & Wilf L.
“Doug & Ruth Rathy listened to our dreams and worked with us to create a reality that met our expectations. Doug worked with the construction and renovation of our condo. He listened to our ideas and made them work. His workmanship is excellent with good attention to details. Ruth was responsible for the interior design of the condo. She collected a good variety of samples for the flooring, paint colours, cabinets and the countertops. Having her do this meant that when we were in town, the choices could be made quickly. The finished look of our condo is very professional and modern. Thank you Doug and Ruth.”
– John & Debra T.
“My wife Joanne and I found Doug Rathy to be very easy to do business with. We never at any time had arguments working through our construction and finishing. He always responded to our needs without question. We are very happy with our new home and especially happy it came in on budget.”

“Doug Rathy was the general contractor and builder for our condominium renovation in 2008. The results were amazing! Doug and his crew of highly skilled sub-trades transformed our kitchen and bathroom from the 1970s era to stylish, functional modern day. From original design through to precision finishing, Doug and his team proved to be exemplary in their craft. Materials were of the highest quality and yet the overall cost was well within our projected budget.”
– Barb & Ron Sandland
“We engaged Rathy Homes to carry out extensive renovations of our home, including roofing, flooring, painting, installing ceiling tiles and trim, and some electrical and plumbing work. We were very satisfied with the scheduling of the work and the finished product. All subcontractors completed their tasks in a proficient and timely manner with minimum impact on our normal routines.
I would recommend Rathy Homes to anyone planning to engage a general contractor.”
– Barry and Ginny Ostrand

“From the very beginning Doug Rathy took charge of building my home. Doug handled all paperwork, recommended design improvements, and gave me many choices as the project progressed. The work was steady in difficult weather and sequentially organized so that I was always confident that Doug had a firm grip on all the issues. In the end I got exactly what I wanted for the price I expected. Doug Rathy and Rathy Homes were highly recommended to me, and I would not hesitate to highly recommend them to anyone else.”
