After interviewing a number of other contractors we found on homestars we selected M3X. During the estimate we found Mike likable and were struck by how straightforward he was when talking about what was and was not possible. When the quote arrived we enjoyed Mike’s all in pricing. Other companies quoted us one number and only on careful review of the fine print we found the the things we asked for were thousands extra. It took a couple of phone calls for us to believe that “The price is the price.” Mike was clear that unless we changed stuff or there was termites, mold or asbestos the price would be what was quoted. He remained true to his quote.
We told Mike we wanted to start soon and he was able to accomodate us within a week or so. One of the first things that struck us was how clean Mike and Eric left our house. They would vacuum the stairs after each day of demo. Throughout the project Mike communicated well with us. Mike also managed to work with our crazy family schedule, accommodating night shifts and the demands of two kids. He dealt well with our large dog and our dog loved him. We used challenging materials (hex tiles, large format shower floor tiles and a linear drain) and Mike was able to install with great attention to detail. The job was substantially completed in two and a half weeks as promised, although we did have to wait for a custom door to arrive.
Mike’s work was solid and he dealt really well with our pickiness. He worked really hard to fix any minor deficit we found. We would definitely use Mike for our next reno. If you are looking for straightforward communication, a great finished product and a trustworthy person who can deal with your wife’s neurotic attention to detail, then Mike is your guy!

Mike has been amazing. He came in on time, on budget and has delivered a product that exceeded our expectations (and our expectations were high as this is our forever house). He has been friendly and approachable with everyone including neighbors. We have done several renovations on several prior homes with other contractors, two of whom have retired, so we are not new to this kind of work. Mike is an honorable, hard working person in a business that sadly has a reputation for the opposite. A contractor is only as good as his trades and Mike has fostered a reputation with some of the best. I will be using Mike again for some additional minor work in the spring and I
recommend him without any reservations (something I have not done before).

Highly recommend!!!

Mike and his team did a great job completely redoing our basement which included:
- Finished rec room
- Finished bathroom with amazing shower stall with a linear drain
- A couple of closets
- New basement windows
- New drain system
- interior waterproofing
- sump pump installation

We had a few companies quote for us but Mike seemed to be the most reasonable as well as coming across as a down to earth honest guy.

Throughout the process we were in constant communication which was appreciated and he was able to smoothly navigate every issue we encountered.

The finished work is phenomenal and we'd happily work with him again in the future as well as recommend to anyone thinking about working with him.

A+++ Mike!

We found Mike on this website and were lucky enough to have him fit in our renovation on such short notice which consisted of turning a small office and larger bedroom into a 4th bedroom, sanding and staining entire main floor, replacing railings and other odd jobs.

We had a very tight deadline to complete the work. Mike and his team ensured that not only was everything completed ahead of schedule but also with the highest of quality, attention to detail and excellent communication as to what was being done and when. Even when faced with small unexpected issues Mike remained calm and professional and offered alternatives and much appreciated suggestions. And never once did his initial quote change.

Mike is definitely a rare find - very fair, honest and a pleasure to work with. We have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. He will be our go to guy for any future work.

The end result exceeded our expectations and we are so happy we decided to go with Mike. Thank you!

We found Mike on this website, homestars.com and after our initial consultation with him, we took a liking to his personality immediately. In addition, his work and professionalism was beyond our expectation! We hired him for our kitchen, powder room and master ensuite. He had great attention to details and took our concerns and opinions into consideration. He is a quality contractor and we felt we can trust him throughout the project, which was very important to us, leaving the house to his care and trusting the quality of his work that goes into our home. He stuck to timelines and budgets, communicates well and is very responsive whenever we have questions for him. He made what would have been a stressful renovation go smoothly, ensured us there are always solutions and is a joy to work with. We highly recommend Mike and would definitely hire him again! Thanks for the great work! Carol & Shawn

Our project consisted of new hardwood flooring and new paint throughout our townhouse, a complete refurbishment of the staircase, and large custom built-in bookshelves. We originally called Mike based on his Homestars reviews; and hired Mike and his team based on his clear understanding of our vision and his communication skills. He provided us with all the documents required by our townhouse corporation and managed all sides of the project: the townhouse corporation, the suppliers, his team, and us, his clients! He was a pleasure to work with and the results exceeded our very high expectations. Mike was available for us throughout the project - genuine, honest, reliable, and obviously takes great pride in his work. We could not have asked for a better experience and we will be calling on Mike and his team for our next renovation.

Hiring Mike Wismieski of Mike's Renovations was the best move we could make to ensure our project got on time within budget. Mike and his crew are unfailingly polite and respectful. They did not leave our house until everything was cleaned up. If there is a change to the his work schedule Mike will call and let you know. The most important quality Mike has is that he will do what he has promised on time and of the highest quality.

This was our first renovation job in Canada, and Mike held our hand through it all. He was professional, flexible, quick to offer advice and options and very open. Mike was quick to respond to enquiries, provided and costed options accurately on the fly, and did a very thorough job. Martina, my wife, pays great attention to detail, and is not easy to please, but she was well satisfied with the work done. We created two bedrooms, replaced a carpeted floor with laminate, and re-did a basement bathroom. Mike made us feel very comfortable throughout the project, keeping us informed of what was going on, when sub-contractors were expected (they were all excellent too), and advising if anything would not go to plan, and what the alternatives were. I would recommend him very highly, and will certainly be a repeat customer when needed.

Mike came recommended by two discerning friends who were very satisfied with his work on this Homestars review page.
After very frustrating and costly dealings with a local high-end Toronto design and build contracting firm that started my reno- I ended up finishing most of the work with Mike.
He problem solved some very key structural issues that would have completely changed the look of my modern kitchen that the other firm's contractor could not.
His quotes were complete and precise- no hidden costs, nickle- and -diming. In fact, Mike would often try to save me money and offer alternatives and recommendations.
He responds quickly to queries and concerns and was willing to step in when things were grim and ground to a standstill with the other company.
He is organized with the trades and ensures that he is present for city inspections and major installations.
If you a have a plan Mike can execute it on time and within budget.
The house has been transformed and now it feels like home.
I couldn't be more pleased and would highly recommend Mike's Renovations to friends and family.

There was a leak in the master bathroom to the downstairs living room. This involved repairing the shower floor. Mike was efficient and reliable. He was also knowledgable as to how to locate the matching tiles from the builder. He is punctual, courteous, respectable. The bathroom was fully repaired.
We respect his honesty and integrity and look forward to doing future projects with him.
