Hapers Home Renovations Inc

We found the Hapers Renovation team well managed, courteous and hard working. Mr. Hapers presented detailed cost break downs and payment schedules. He offered designing tips and always checked for our approval for any changes. We appreciated that the work was completed quickly with attention to detail. Care was taken in keeping the work site clean at the end of each day. We would highly recommend his company for your renovation. We plan to use him again in the very near future.

Mike Hapers was excellent to work with because he was flexible, a problem solver, and able to adapt to the scope and complexity of a constantly changing project.He was able to assist with sourcing supplies and finishes as well as coordinate an overlapping schedule of sub contractors.

Mike Hapers and his crew at Hapers Home Renovations did an exceptional job completing a full-scale renovation on our home over 5.5 months. As anyone who has undertaken a project of this size knows, this is a pretty quick turnaround. HHR completed the renovation on time and largely on budget (in a project of this size there are ALWAYS changes, including some that saved us money and others where we added work or made decisions that were more expensive than originally planned – but for what HHR quoted, with a detailed quote, they did not charge more and in fact budgeted a small amount for some unexpected costs so they could stay on budget). From the time of preparing a detailed quote to delivering a spic and span house, Mike and his crew were very professional.

Over the time we worked with them, there are a few things in particular that we appreciated about working with HHR. First, Mike and his crew – Andy, Gord and Tommy – are skilled individuals with great integrity and attention to detail. As a result, the quality of their work was very high. They take great pride in the work that they do, and won’t accept – from themselves or the subcontractors HHR hired – mediocre work. Mike is great at solving problems that inevitably come up in old houses and he is constantly thinking of different solutions and options to present to his clients, with an honest assessment of the implications.

Second, they completed the project on time because they were here every day. HHR is committed to finishing its projects on time – we were always informed in advance if one or more of the crew members would be working on another job for a day or two, and this was always done at time where it would not slow down the work on our project. Of course, finishing on time also depends on customers – either you have to trust HHR to make decisions for you, or you have to be available and able to make decisions fairly quickly. I am not a particularly quick decision-maker, but Mike was able to adjust by giving me more time wherever he could and still finishing the project on time.

Third, based on his experience over 15 years running a business, Mike has an eye for design. There are many changes we made based on his suggestions that improved the original drawings.

Fourth, they treated our home and neighbours with care and respect – no one ever smoked in the house, the job site was left clean every day with tools and materials organized, and they took very good care of the few things left in the basement.

Fifth, they are honest, decent, good-natured people, and so was every tradesperson I met through HHR. This may seem like a small quality, but renovations are stressful, and dealing with good people makes everything run more smoothly.

Sixth, Mike is a great communicator and teacher. For us, this was our first renovation and it was a major one. At the quoting stage, Mike took the time to walk us through every detail of his quote – what it included, what it didn’t include, where we could save money, etc. I can’t count the number of times Mike took the time to explain the implications of a decision we had to make, or to suggest a supplier or product that would save money or be a better choice.

If you are looking for high-quality work finished on time and on budget, choose HHR. We are thrilled with HHR’s work and have no reservations recommending HHR to our family and friends. Thank you Mike, Andy, Gord and Tommy for your incredible work. We still can’t quite believe that this is our house, 5 months later☺.

Under a lesser contractor, this project could have quickly gone south. But with Michael’s expert knowledge, experience, integrity and excellent project management skills, the renovation was completed on-time and within budget. The results were exceptional and exceeded my expectations. Throughout the project, he ably resolved multifaceted, technically complex problems that popped up in my very old house.

Our basement was half finished with a bathroom and needed to be gutted and rebuilt. We hired Hapers Home Renovation and almost three years ago and to this day, I am happy and impressed everytime I go into the basement!!
Mike and his team were professional, effcient and worked until the job was completed in spite of a number of unforeseen obstacles - not of their doing. Mike was consultative every step of the way. He always communicated clearly about what he was doing and what decisions needed to be made. He was knowledgeable about materials and processes, but did not impose his point of view. The project ended up costing more than we anticipated but only because we upgraded as we went, but in the end it was EXCELLENT value for the quality of the workmanship and materials. Mike was excellent at estimating time and cost. He finished pretty much on schedule and did extra work that was unanticipated as well. It is a beautiful basement and bathroom and has continued to look brand new despite being almost three years old. I would be happy to recommend Hapers Home Renovation to anyone who wants quality and professional work .
