On Site Renovations

Mike was my contractor and did most of the work himself for a major update/renovation of my condo, including significant changes in the bathroom. Throughout the entire process, Mike was very professional, reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. His standards for workmanship are very high and the quality of every part of the project was excellent. He also followed up to make sure the work of any trades he brought in was done to an equally high standard. I am thrilled with the result and highly recommend On Site Renovations for any home renovation project. Thanks so much Mike!

I recently hired On Site Renovations to remodel a bathroom at the daycare which I operate. Mike was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was very professional, very helpful with design advice and was also innovative when sourcing hard to find cabinetry. The daycare was unable to close during the renovation, however Mike was very respectful when working around the children and staff. At the end of each day he ensured the job site was clean, safe and secure. He also completed the renovation in a timely fashion. I would not hesitate to recommend Onsite Renovations and would certainly hire Mike again for any future projects. Margaret Geddes Administrator Community Montessori Children's Centre

On Site Renovations has been our "go to" home contractor for a number of projects. The most recent one was a complete renovation of our kitchen. This included removing old kitchen cupboards, countertops, flooring, the dated drop ceiling above the cupboards, and appliances. On Site Renovations then patched the drywall, installed and updated electrical outlets, crown mouldings, and baseboards, and window casings. After the new cupboards, countertops and appliances were installed, On Site painted the walls, ceiling and mouldings. All work was completed on time and on budget. Mike Getzlaf does excellent work, and is knowledgeable, reliable, and dependable. I highly recommend On Site Renovations.

We are providing On Site Renovations with the highest possible rating on Houzz. On Site completed a significant amount of work for us on our 1970s home which included the gutting of three bathrooms, building of a new soundproof partition and running utilities for a washer-dryer hookup. Shortly into the work it became evident that we were witnessing a skilled and experienced professional in action. In addition, On Site displayed the highest levels of integrity throughout quoting through to completion. The work included a custom herringbone tile pattern in our master bathroom shower which was completed to perfection. We were very impressed with Mike's wide range of skills from demolition and utilities right through to finishing. Mike approached problems in a thoughtful manner and clearly used foresight and experience to complete the job on time and budget. On a personal level it was enjoyable to have Mike and Frank in our home. They were courteous, honest, punctual and communicated with us very clearly. Thank you for the work and memories Mike and Frank, we hope to have you back when we decide to tackle the kitchen.

Mike Getzlaf of On Site Renovations is a multi-skilled example of the power of word of mouth. We heard about him from our doctor (whose word you can take to the bank), and the renovations we’ve had Mike do are top-notch. His quotes are reasonable, he’s quick and efficient, with an eye to detail, and he has a knack for solving unexpected problems creatively. So we’re more than pleased to pass the word on. - Jay & Lee Clarke

Mike was great to work with on my Kitchen/dining reno. He was helpful in determining the scope of work needed, and had some very helpful and creative suggestions on how to make my planned project even better. He was thorough in his explanation of time needed to complete the work and most importantly for me, was on time for all our appointments and work days. He keeps a meticulous work area. He was respectful to my neighbors and other trades on site. I would highly recommend On site renovations and hope to have him back to finish the rest of my home soon!

Mike was great to deal with and the job was done on time and on budget. We are very happy with our reno.

On Site Renovations (Mike Getzlaf) did a complete renovation of one bathroom, a partial renovation of another large bathroom, and upgrading of our family room. We are very pleased with the work and how everything has turned out. Mike provided suggestions and input as appropriate, and we were not overwhelmed with questions. The quotations provided before each part of the project proceeded contained a good level of detail, and the work was completed with few extra charges above the quoted price (all of which extras had been discussed before being undertaken). Overall, quality workmanship at what we consider to be a reasonable price.

After demolishing the bathroom to the studs the project work was to rebuild the bathroom which had consisted of a fibreglass shower particle board counter top and linoleum floor. Mike removed and replaced the plumbing from the lower floor to this floor, providing water to the sink, toilet and shower. The shower need a special route based on a window that was being added. A new plywood floor was laid, good insulation, proper washroom drywall and proper cement board for the shower. Mike cut and placed over 700 lbs of porcelain tile on the floor and shower walls with a new large alcove, alcove for the new window and nice aluminum touches on the edges, grouted with 3 colours of grout that we supplied, sealed it and placed baseboards. The cabinet, sink faucets, new toilet tub, all tub fixtures, light and hangers for the mirror and medicine cabinet. Soon after the start of construction we decided to add the window and this was added to the job - which included MIke going outside on the roof and performing work on the outside of the window. He also placed various other fixtures into the shower tile such as the double curved shower curtain rod. He also worked around another contractor one week when we called in a painter to paint the walls and ceiling before the toilet and cabinets were installed. The work was excellent, the workspace was orderly and safe, he was available for several email questions as we kept pace with ordering and picking up various items before they were needed. When a few things were a few days late he was able to adjust his work to ensure he progressed the project. The work was scheduled for 4 weeks, planned 2 months in advance, and needed to be completed before our house guests arrived for xmas. This work was completed on time despite the expansion of work for the new window. Mike helped source items that were had difficulty with, such as the window. There was some settling of about 6" of grout which Mike had no problem coming in and doing a small touchup a week after completion. The small space was challenging despite careful measurements made beforehand. We had a couple of adjustments to make during construction. With some flexibility we were able to fit everything perfectly. This is definitely our favourite space in our house now. It is bright, new and a joy to start the day in. Thanks Mike! It is a very enjoyable space for us.

Mike completed a complete renovation of our ensuite bathroom, removing the bathtub and replacing it with a very luxurious shower. We found him to be very easy to work with right from the start. His proposed contract was clear and he was accurate in the estimated costs. He was always punctual, had excellent suggestions, and demonstrated an outstanding work ethic. Mike is not one to start anything without having a clear plan and is also an individual who strives for perfection. Needless to say, we are very happy with our bathroom and would not hesitate to recommend Mike or, to retain him for another project.
