Hunter Home Essentials Inc.

I love my new bathroom and I am grateful to Michael Hunter for his professionalism and expertise in the home improvement industry. My bathroom was left in a state of disarray from a bad contractor and Michael made it perfect. His quotation was spot on and he even went above and beyond with small details that made a big difference. His attention to detail and follow up were impeccable. Definitely rates five star for workmanship and customer service. I will use Michael for future jobs without a doubt and highly recommend his services.

Our bathroom renovations with Hunter Home Improvements turned out very well. Michael provided a detailed and very reasonable quote. He arrived on time for our meetings and for work each day and worked hard throughout the job. He took great pride in his work and went the extra mile to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction. Michael worked well independently and was very good at communicating any problems or changes on the job. He was very honest and detailed in invoicing and costs and completed the job in the expected time frame. If we had any concerns about the job he was more than happy to change or fix our issues.

I would use Hunter Home Improvements for other work in our home and was very happy with our bathroom renovation.

I am very happy with the results of my bathroom reno. New tiled shower replaces the bathtub, new tiled floor, new toilet, new paint...beautiful space. The work was done in a reasonable time and price. I would gladly have Michael do more reno work. I trust that he would do another great job.

Michael recently finished our basement for us. This is the second time we have hired Hunter Home Improvements to do renos in our home and once again we are very satisfied. Micheal came in under budget with his quote and even did the work almost entirely by himself to keep the budget on target. He started work early and put in a full day everyday...sometimes we forgot he was there because he wouldn't even take a break!

From start to finish, Michael was very easy to work with. We are very pleased with the end result. Very meticiulous with the finished product. We love the added space in our home! We would absolutely recommend Hunter Home Improvements. Thanks again Michael :)

This is the second time we have used Hunter Home Essentials - because the first time was a total success and the second time was the same. Michael is a fastidious worker taking pride in his effort to make us happy. Perfection at a fair price seems to be his goal. Both projects were started and finished on time. We will be using him again for some upcoming kitchen renovations.

Although our appointment was a bit off, Michael arrived and got straight to work. His assistant was very helpful in getting the job done. What he has done in the bathroom was nothing short of expert! He matched the ceiling as if the whole ceiling was done on the same day! Just thought the cleanup in the bathroom could have been done a little better than it was. As I said to him" I will call you again if I ever need someone to do work for me in the future!"

Thanks again Michael!

"Professional" is probably the best word to describe Hunter Home Essentials Inc. in all its varied meanings. On time and on budget with a creative flair to address the unexpected challenges of bathroom design. I would use their services again in a heartbeat.

I had a 8'x6' bathroom gutted and redone, all I wanted was a large stand up shower, vanity and toilet. Michael was very detailed with his quote and I was able to see the materials that went into the quote.

During the construction I was always informed as to what was being done that day so I could plan my day and the kids knew if the water was going to be off. So the communication was very helpful.

The reno took almost 10 business days and I was very happy with the day to day progress, their was a few hiccups due to the items I bought and the lack of instructions that were given with my purchases. Michael was able to figure things out and adapt to the lack of instructions and utilized his skills.

Overall myself and the kids love the new bathroom, we look forward to getting lots of use out of it and would not have an issue hiring Hunter Home Essentials for another up and coming job in the future. I have also given his name to a friend who is looking to have some bathroom work done.

Hunter Home Improvement did an excellent job installing the bathroom in my basement. They are highly knowledgeable about their work, very professional and within my budget. This addition has definitely added to the value of my home.

Hunter Home Essentials Renovations were the kind of contractors that are very rarely found - gave us prior detailed amount of the cost and, apart from a few dollars, caused by unforeseen extras, kept to the amount in their original written estimate; kept us completely informed about the progress of the renovations; were always courteous, on time and worked diligently throughout; left the area clean every day and available for use whenever possible; kept us informed of any possible problem that might cause any delay, but made sure that it turned into a minimum delay; were conscientious about all the details and finished the work fast, very well done and within the amount of time they had predicted. We were extremely pleased with their work and would have no hesitation in contracting Hunter Renovations for any other work needed at our house and will definitely highly recommend them to our friends.

I liked the fact that I was able to move my washer and dryer and maximize the the space in the basement washroom. I am very happy to get the job done in a very professional,cost effictive,timely, clean, friendly and efficient manner by Hunter Home Improvements.

Michael from Hunter home essentials did a fantastic job with my bathroom renovations , he also solved a very serious leak that had been an ongoing problem for us, and that previous plumbers had failed to resolve .Michael went above and beyond , and I will definitely call him again for any future renovations .absolutely five stars !!!

Michael and his crew were always on time and on budget, the work was very professional. They cleaned up every night before leaving, and removed all scrap from site when complete. I would hire them again for future work and recommend them to family and friends.

Michael came and did some very nice work for us. The completed bathroom looks very nice. No leaks and no issues after the work was complete. The job took 1 or two days longer than anticipated. Our toilet we purchased was broken and we had to return it (not Michael's fault). There was a bit of dirt and dust in our bedroom but that was kept to a minimum. Michael asked us to complete a review for him after the work was done. Based on the quality of the work and his professionalism while working we would give him a rating of 90% or higher.

One sour note. We've been busy over the last week and haven't had time to take pictures of the finished product and as such haven't had time to complete a review. Today Michael texted us and had a small tantrum over the fact that the review hadn't been completed yet. He told us to not bother reviewing and to not contact him in the future. Seems odd as the quality of his work was very good, price very reasonable and his attitude while working was very good. Its too bad our experience was soured by his text.

Michael and his team finished our basement for us. The work they did was better than anything I expected. They went the extra mile, were pleasant, cleaned up the area each night, were friendly, helpful and just plain wonderful. They kept on budget, helped us out with a few extra projects. They worked hard and the quality of their work was excellent. We still have a couple of projects to do around our house and I won't hesitate to use Michael and his team again. I recommend them to anyone who needs work done in their house. Great job guys! Thank you for making our basement a great place for our family to hang out!! Jackie

My wife and I were very pleased with the custom installation of our over the range microwave. Our installation was quite different, as we already had a custom recessed extraction fan over the range. We had called Michael to ask for a quote on our installation and he arrived promptly to assess the installation. We booked a time and agreed upon a price at the time of inspection.

His team showed up on time and immediately assessed the installation. They carefully removed the range, and made a clear path to work to ensure no damage. The team disassembled the previously installed recessed extraction fan and immediately went to work. The microwave was 1" on either side to narrow, and would have left a gap between the spice drawers and the microwave. Hunter Improvements removed the decorative wood valance from the previous custom kitchen installation which would no longer be required, and made a decorative wood filler to fill the gap, ensuring the wood colour matched and a custom look was achieved.

His team was prompt, courteous and polite. However, the most important part was they were neat. They tidied up after themselves and treated our home as if it was their own.

We are happy to provide Michael and his team at Hunter Home Improvements a strong recommendation for the work provided and look forward to working with his team again.

I was the first to write a review for Michael and his crew @ Hunter Home improvements. I'm grateful to write another positive one for him. This project was larger than the last one. One again Hunterhome improvements pulled it through. Michael spends a lot of time with his estimates and is always conscious of the cost to his customers. The work he did was excellent and despite some challenges with the job, the end result was exactly what was asked. Will I use Michael and his crew again? definitely....will I recommend them to my friends and family? Without any hesitation! Thank you again!,

Hunter Home Improvements responded to our request for a quote in an amazingly short period of time. Their quote was less than we had anticipated and they maitained the quote with no hidden extras.

Their work was of exceptional quality and we are hard pressed to note where the original starts and the repair begins. Without question we will be calling om Hunter Home Improvements for work in the future.

We are very pleased with our renovations. Michael exhibited honest professionalism right from our first meeting with him and through the entire renovation. His staff (Trevor) was very punctual and when he arrived went about his business with no interruption to our daily life. The only glitch was when they had to leave us for a couple of days due to an emergency that had come up, otherwise all commitments were met. The budget was right on the mark and I would call Hunter Home Improvements for any future projects.

My parents and I highly recommend Hunter Home Improvements for any of your contractual needs - large or small. We were absolutely impressed from the moment we met with Michael Hunter. My parents live on the family farm and their farmhouse was in need of some renovations. Michael respected our request to maintain the integrety and era of the house. We reveiwed our wish list with him and he was able to accomodate our requests with no problem. We worked well together - he was very accessable and approachable. We needed some changes in midstream and their service never waivered. Michael's team was very professional, respectful and friendly. They were also a pleasure to work with as well. With many of the requests on our list - I left the decision making up to Michael and his team. As my schedule did not allow for browsing for products I gave Michael and his team the responsiblity to choose the flooring, fixtures, etc. based our discussions and the history of the house. Their choices were excellent and spot on. It was a huge relief that I could put my trust in Michael and his team to do such an outstanding job with little input. I must mention though that they reviewed their choices prior to purchasing and installing for final approval - but, it was such a help to have the assistance with these decisions. I am normally one who is involved 100 percent of the time; however, with some personal responsibilities I was unable commit my time to this project and Michael took the reigns. The renovations, intallations and repairs were done on a timely manner with total professionalism. I cannot express how pleased we were with the entire project from start to finish. We will be contacting Hunter Home Improvments for all of our future projects. Thanks again Michael and Team!!! Much appreciated!!! The Bells

I recently hired Mike from Hunter Home Improvements for a plumbing project and I was extremely happy with the level of service I received.

He was on time, nice and courteous - and above all very knowledgeable.

Highly recommended.

Thanks

Mike and his crew did a great job on my recent home renovations. Mike, Kevin and Trevor are all very experienced renovators and they work together well to get the job done right. They showed up on time each day, paid great attention to the details and worked with me to give me exactly what I wanted. They were courteous, easy to talk to and pleasant to have around. My kitchen and fireplace look great and I am very pleased with both the workmanship and the price I paid for the renovations.

I would highly recommend hiring Hunter Home Improvements. I will use them for future work and intend to have them build our deck in the spring.

I just had Michael and his Team replace my carpeted floors and stairs with hardwood. What a Difference!

I Love my new floors and staircase.

You will be so pleased if you choose his business.

Thank you Michael and Team

Michael did a great job on our basement. We choose him because he had good reviews on this website, his quote was fair (we received quotes from two other companies) and he came across as a good guy. He is polite, friendly, honest and does great work. I've already recommended him to friends.

We recently had Michael and his team built custom made storage cabinets for our living room. We couldn't be happy with the outcome! Michael was very easy to work with and made sure he understood our wishes before starting the job. Michael and his team were very courteous, polite and took the time to clean up after the renos to make our house look as if nothing had been done. You can tell that everyone on his team take pride in their work.

Michael also worked with us when it came to our budget. He did multiple quotes for us and helped us figure out a way to get what we wanted with the budget that we had.

It was a real pleasure working wiith Hunter Home Improvements and we would highly recommend Michael for anyone needing renovations.

Hunter Home Improvements renovated our unfinished basement and we are very happy with the job they did. The quality of the work was outstanding and the basement looks amazing. The original price was good and they were very reasonable with any of the add-on costs that inevitably come up with a job as large as this one. Michael is very professional, accommodating, and it was obvious he took pride in his work. The only complaint we had was that the job was completed well past the original finish date as the job was larger than originally thought. To their credit, the basement was ready when we needed it to be and all our friends and relatives were also impressed with the quality and appearance of our newly finished basement. Hunter Home Improvements will be our first choice for future renovations.

Michael was very professional, prompt and trustworthy. Last summer, he was laying a patio for a neighbour who was pleased with his work. We are in a townhouse so our neighbour needed access through our back yard. Michael and his team were courteous and left no mark once their work was done - it was a heavy job. We were impressed by this so we asked for a quote to paint our livingroom and stairway to second floor (with a very high inaccessible wall). His quote was fair and he was very timely with responses to arrange the job. He also arrived right on-time - again we were very impressed by this since contractors are notoriously not on time. He did not leave until the job was done to our satisfaction. The paint job was done smooth with few brush or roller strokes evident; edges were clean. And done in one day to avoid disruption - just prior to Christmas so we would have a new look for family. Highly recommended.

Having Michael do work on our house has been a pleasure. He is prompt to return phone calls and arrives on time. His work is good quality and his helpful advice has saved us money. He has gone above and beyond our expectations and we will continue to use his expertise in the future.

Hello, My name is Jacob of Newmarket, Ontario. I employed the services of Mr. Mike Hunter to help build my wife's business and he did an outstanding work. The finished product exceeded my expectation and my expectations as it relates to construction are usually very high. What he specified at the beginning as it relates to costs/charges held true at the end. That is hard to find these days. He was a true gentleman in the ways he conducted himself, there were absolutely no surprises from start to finish. I will proudly use Mr. Hunter for future projects and will strongly recommend him to others.

Michael and his team at Hunter Home Improvements have always provided us with outstanding service. He has worked at our home many times over the past two years and always gives us an honest assessment of household maintenance items that need to be taken care of while still respecting our budget. We have recommended him to many friends and will continue to do so.

I am very satisfied with the work Michael Hunter did repairing my deck. He showed up on time to discuss the job, listened to me when I explained what I wanted to be done, and began the work promptly. He came by the following day, after I paid him, to do a few additional touch-up jobs. I highly recommend Michael Hunter to work on any renovation or repair projects.

When I hired this contractor, I did not know how to read an estimate. The lack of communication left us to install the bathub plumbing, contrary to our expectations. He chose to wipe mildew off the bathtub drywall, instead of replacing it. He left debris in the bathtub drain, a chisel and debris in the heating vent. He left globs of plaster on surfaces and grout on tiles. Materials were wasted, and as such I could not return them for credit. We couldn't install the toliet without substantial chipping and grinding of poorly applied tile and grout. He requested pictures of the flange, which we provided. His position was that it was our problem to fix.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Michael. I have recommended him to other cottagers.

From day one i found Hunter Home Improvements to be very professional and easy to deal with. Michael went to quote my job, and took extra time to explain the detail by providing drawings and a quote. I hired Michael to replace a basement window (rip out the old one, cut the opening larger, put in a larger one). The job was completed in a timely manor and the quality was excellent. There were a few hiccups along the way but nothing Michael couldnt resolve. The new window went in with no fuss. I highly reccomend Michael and would use him for any future renovation projects I have.
