Renovations by Overmeyer

The team at Renovation by Overmeyer did a fantastic job renovating our bathroom. Ted and Justin are excellent project managers and their team is outstanding.

From the initial site meeting we knew that we were dealing with professionals. All costs and details were clearly explained, and we felt very comfortable moving forward with them. They answered all of our questions and put our mind at ease.

The work started on schedule and everything went well. The crew is courteous, clean and very professional. They are a pleasure to deal with and do top-notch work.

The team from Renovations by Overmeyer stayed on time and on budget and delivered a beautiful end result. Nice to work with real pros. We have already hired them to look after larger project for us!

The service was professional and courteous and the quality was exceptional!

A very professional and highly skilled crew. Work was completed in a timely manner with the highest quality. Communication was done on a daily basis. Crew members cleaned up daily and used tarps and covers to help keep things as tidy as possible. They were very conscientious and took great pride in their work. I would gladly recommend Renovations by Overmeyer for your next renovation project.

Thanks for the great job!

We love the way our basement turned out, and are truly in awe at times just sitting down there.

I really have to mention that I have dealt with many contractors on various projects over the years and Ted, Justin and the team are truly the at the top of my list. These guys are the most courteous, kind and respectful team I have ever met. They take pride in their work and their attention to detail is second to none. I would occasionally go down to to see the progress in my basement, and noticed that they were making sure slight imperfections, that I truly would not have even noticed, were being corrected. I mentioned that to Ted, and his response to me was that, he would not expect their work to be less than what he would except in his own house.

It was much appreciated that the team presented open lines of communications, we had no surprises at the end, as we were involved throughout the whole project.

I would and already have mentioned to some friends and family, that anyone thinking of renovations need not look anywhere else, just save your time and call Ted. This team is truly "one stop shopping", not only was all the normal work for basement renovations completed, but they also ran all the network and A/V wiring to all the equipment and was presented in a very professional connection panels. They did not stop there, all my equipment was hooked up, TV's hung up and tested by the team. Leaving me to just enjoy my AV equipment.

As mentioned above I would highly recommend this team, and I can guarantee that I will be calling them for any of my future projects.

We worked with Ted to design our basement and he took our ideas and suggestions to create a layout that was exactly what we asked for. His team came promptly every day and worked in a professional manner, respecting our home and our space. During each step in the process, either Ted or a member of his team conferred with us and ensured the project was being completed to our satisfaction. They suggested improvements along the way that worked with the design we had in mind. Ted's extended team includes contractors for tiles, carpeting, flooring, cabinetry and technology, etc, all of whom were professional and experts in their fields. One key feature of our basement design included a home theatre system. Justin was able to design and install our 4K projector, 100" screen, and Dolby Atmos system, which also included networking and cabling the A/V receiver to all of the components. Another key feature of the space is a large bar area. The cabinets and quartz countertops are beautiful. Our basement is an extended part of our home which we just love and use often. It is exactly what we wanted, and more and we appreciate the care Ted and his team took to ensure we were happy every step of the way. Thank you for working so hard to create this beautiful space for us.

All I have to say is amazing! I am completely blown away by the professionalism of this company. From our first engagement with Ted to the final handshake with Justin. The team was organized, creative, and clean. We are so happy!

I could have not asked for a better experience from start to finish. When I hired Ted to do my basement Reno I let him know I had a timeline to get the job finished and he came through with his promise. The entire crew demonstrated the professionalism expected in a contractor. They were polite, courteous,on time, always left the work area clean,and Ted listen to any suggestions I had and he always kept me informed on everything. I felt very at ease and had absolute no concerns throughout the 6 weeks. I would highly recommend Ted and his crew to anyone wanting a contractor. Everyone who has come in to see the basement has commented on how great the finished area looks.

Excellent work Ted and crew, thanks.

I can not say enough for these people, exceptional contractors. All staff that attended my residence were courteous, professional, hard working and delivered on time, in budget, exactly what our family needed and wanted. These folks were great right from the first meeting with Ted himself, to Justin that did the measurements and designing and the staff Justin, Justin Rebecca, Ryan and Leecee. They came in every day at the same time and worked daily like a regular person, Monday to Friday. I was always kept in the loop as to the progress. Never any issues or concern and the carpeting laid was amazing. All staff took care not to let my dogs get out and they actually grew to enjoy the staff's daily visits.

These young people that worked so hard, cleaned up daily which I was quite taken by. They always made sure I was happy with everything.

I am a person who believes in telling it like it is, and if I am totally excited and pleased with work someone has done, I like to let people know. Pictures of my basement can be found on Renovations by Overmeyer's web page. I am so proud of my home, thank you Ted and Crew!

Ted was absolutely fantastic. I had 3 other quotes and Ted provided me with exactly what I wanted and needed at a much better price than the plumber and Bath Fitters. We will definitely be using Ted again!

I highly recommend Ted and his crew. Our basement turned out exactly how we wanted it for a reasonable price. The crew was very respectful of our home, our children and our dog. We will be recommending them to everyone and will be hiring them for any future home renovations.

We were very pleased with the work done by Ted and his crew to refinish our basement. The job was completed within the estimated time for completion and right on budget. The workmanship was top notch. Ted and his crew were friendly, arrived on time each day and cleaned up at the end of the day. Highly recommended.

This was an exceptional experience. The Overmeyer team is professional, skilled, detail oriented and a pleasure to deal with. Communication with me was outstanding. They listened to concerns and suggestions and readily adjusted plans at my request. Work was done in a timely fashion and I was kept informed of all progress and next steps in the process. Each team member treated me and my home with respect and took pride in the work as if it was their own home. I highly recommend Renovations by Overmeyer.

Not impressed.

A couple years ago I hired Ted to do a bathroom expansion and renovation, and was completely disappointed. The new wall was not straight, floor not level at all, shower door was not able to be opened fully as he did not take into account the bulk head. When I asked him to correct these things he told me he didn't have time, as he had other people to get to. As a result he was not paid the full amount for the job. Would not recommend to anyone.

Overall I would highly recommend Ted. Everything is generally great. He began the job a little late and therefore finished a little later. Not a big issue. The laminate floor scratches too easily and we do not wear shoes so recommend you buy scratch resistant from big box store rather than Ted's floor supplier. That would be my only complaint so not a perfect score. Workmanship, attitude, cleanliness all very good to excellent and he did everything we requested. A very positive experience generally and Trusted Pro website is very helpful.

PS Thank you Ted and look forward to our next project with you :o)

Our basement bathroom shower had been leaking for some time and there was substantial water damage (drywall, insulation and wood rot.) We obtained a few quotes and was given Ted Overmeyer's name by friends who had him do their basement bathroom renovation which we had seen. Mr. Overmeyer did a truly professional job at their house so based on what we had seen and the price we hired him to fix our mess. Mr. Overmeyer viewed the job and made some excellent suggestions such as enlarging the shower and was able to keep the existing flooring which cut down on the mess and cost of doing the renovation. His staff were very considerate, punctual and professional in their workmanship. We are extactic with the bathroom. Mr. Overmeyer started the job earlier than stated and completed the job on time and as quoted. There were no unexpected nasty surprises. We plan on hiring him to redo our ensuite bathroom.

****5 STAR RATING - Highly recommended****

Ted and his crew were responsible for building our new kitchen which required removing a wall, moving a doorway, electrical and plumbing changes.

The scope of the job also involved working with the kitchen designer remotely as well as coordinating with window and brick work. Total time from start to finish was 5-6 weeks

Ted was extremely dependable on his work schedule with daily updates on progress. He knew when to involve us in decision making and when to make adjustments to keep the project on schedule.

His crew were very easy to work with and always on time, working to the task schedule daily. This was impressive due to our two dogs always curious as to what was going on.

We are very pleased with finished project and Ted's work quality. We will use Ted again on our next project.

We hired Ted to renovate our basement from concrete brick. We had several different plans such as a bar. However, we had to stay within our budget. Ted offered up several alternatives with different price ranges to help us stay on target. We wanted to install a Smart TV with no wires hanging, so he installed a conduit behind the wall to allow passage of wires/cables. We also had ceiling speakers put in. We were extremely satisfied with many aspects: the service, within budget, on time and the end result. Great job, I would highly recommend Ted.

I would highly recommend Ted and his team for any renovation- I can say this with such certainty as Ted was able to deliver on budget and complete a challenging room repair with the utmost level of perfection and detail to the job. The "man cave" was originally done by a contractor that left uneven surfaces from the final job- sanding and mudding and taping was in need of significant repair and we asked Ted to make the room perfect. He did that and more- His team and him always were courteous, left a clean job site every time, were on budget and did an incredible job taking a room and making it nothing short of perfect!!! Thank you for your hard work on this project!

From start to finish it was a pleasure having Ted & his crew in our home. Ted gave us a very detailed estimate, demo was prompt, they stuck to their time line, worked 8:30-4:30,5 days a week, always pleasant and very clean. We're delighted with our new and fresh basement, it's where we all gather at the end of our busy days. We would certainly have Overmyer Renovations do any future projects.

We hired Ted to install a door to the garage from our mud room. We required his services as there was water and electrical in the wall for our washer and dryer. Ted and his team did a great job. Their work was flawless and we barely even noticed they were there. We love the door so much! Great job!

Ted and his crew did an excellent job. The project was done on time and followed the quote. They were courteous and reliable. Although there is always a mess, they made the effort to minimize the dust and cleaned up after themselves everyday. Ted was willing to go with our ideas and offered choices when asked.

We had never done a home renovation with a contractor before so we decided to start small with our tiny, outdated master bathroom. We got some referrals from friends and also decided to check online for contractors in our area and stumbled upon the Trusted Pros website. We met with several contractors and decided on Ted because of his professionalism, great communication and also because his quote was within our allotted budget.

We first met with Ted and Barb, his designer, to go over what we wanted for the bathroom in terms of fixtures, lighting, tiles and the overall feel of the room. This was pretty effortless because we knew ahead of time what we wanted and Barb seemed to have the same taste, so we were very happy with the items she chose for us.

Even though the footprint of the room remained the same, we wanted to remove the bathtub and just have a large shower area and also remove the bulkhead to make it more open. The toilet and vanity remained where they were originally, but were updated.

Demolition started on time, tarps were put down everywhere to protect the carpets and the site was cleaned up at the end of every work day. Ted’s assistants, Rebecca and Lissi, were polite, personable young women who did a great job. At one point I mentioned that there was debris on the front lawn left over from the demo and it was cleaned up immediately. Also, because they were working on a bathroom right next to a walk-in closet, there were two nail pops on the walls in the closet and behind the mirror on a dresser in the bedroom. I mentioned it to the ladies and they were repaired right away. When we first used the sink I noticed a small amount of water on the inside shelf of the vanity. I called Ted and he was here first thing the next morning to take care of it and it’s been fine ever since.

The job started on time, remained on budget and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you so much Ted, Barb, Lissi and Rebecca for our beautiful master bathroom. As far as renovations go we have to say that it was pretty stress-free. The worst thing about it was sharing the other bathroom with our young adult children!

(Sorry, I'm in one of the photos because standing in the shower was the only way to get the vanity in the picture because the room is so tiny.)

Ted and his crew renovated our kitchen in January. They did a fantastic job, the house was clean at the end of every day. They knew that we have young children so all of their tools were packed up and not in reach of curious hands. We have carpet through our whole main floor, they covered them daily and never left a single mark on them. They even took the time to help us choose colours, styles, designs, etc.. We would highly recommend Ted and his crew to anyone.

After meeting with several different contractors, I decided to choose Ted for the job. After several meetings with him, I felt he understood the importance of my oak cabinets and ensured me he knew what he was doing. Unfortunately this was not the case, and my "stress free" renovation has turned into a 9 week nightmare. I fired Ted after only 5 days. My first issue was his work crew. When he wasn't here the girls kind of stopped working. They spent more time and effort scraping old paint off their work table than they did sanding my cabinet doors. The paint chips left on my driveway when they left was unbelievable. When painting my family room, one girl was sanding the patches, while the other was applying paint on a different wall. Primer was never used and the paint and primer in one did not cover the newly patched areas. My biggest issue however, was the treatment of my cabinet doors. The wood doors were being sanded with electric sanders in a circular motion, sanding against the grain. This totally ruined the grain of the doors. When I asked his girls to please sand with the grain, they said okay, an hour later, they were in my kitchen priming the doors. When they left I inspected the doors and to my dismay, they weren't even cleaned properly, some of them had grime on one side and primer on the other. I'm no carpenter, but I am aware of how wood is to be treated before staining or painting. And even though my cabinets were to be painted, in my opinion they were not prepared properly. I told Ted I no longer wanted him on the job...he asked me for money for work done, to which I agreed, time is money. During his 5 days here, Ted ordered my laminate countertops. Because I was now without a contractor, I called to have a hold put on he countertops. 6 weeks later I am ready to have the countertops delivered. When they get here, surprise, they didn't fit. Ted measured for them wrong. After 2 more weeks of communicating with the manufacturer and Lowes, I had to reorder an install and pay for the repair and replacement of my countertop. The cost was almost as much as the original order. I appealed to Ted to cover the cost of this, stating to him that if he were still on the job, he would have had to pay for his errors. 2 weeks have gone by and I have not heard back from him. Teds stress free renovation claim is a lie. Not only has my 3 week kitchen renovation turned into a nightmare 9 week renovation, my families entire summer was ruined by this. I have also had to fork out way more money. Homeowners be warned, Ted is very good at making you think he knows what he is doing, but the amount of errors in my home done in only 5 days proves otherwise.

We met Renovations by Overmeyer through Trusted Pro. We interviewed 7 potential contractors to renovate our upstairs bathroom. We checked the references provided by Ted Overmeyer and when we selected this Company we increase the scope of the project to 2 bathrooms. Renovation by Overmeyer provided us with a proposal with the scope of the work, material that would be used, price, duration and payment schedule. Ted informed us that he would use only licence plumber and electrician. There was total transparency at the beginning of the project and he listened to our questions and answered all of our questions before the project began.

The scope of the work involved demolition, framing, tiling, plumbing, electrical, installing and everything else that was required to renovate 2 bathrooms. As the work progress Ted provided a daily report. When we came home on evenings we saw the work progress. The work was neat, steady and very detailed. Ted and his team worked exactly to the design specifications and if there were any changes we were informed. The end result was that the work was exceptional. The work exceeded our expectations. The work was top notch and the quality of the materials that he used was proven top of the line. We were so pleased with the quality. Committment and honesty that we asked Ted to provide a quote for another renovation project. His company took away the anxiety of working with someone new. He comes highly recommended. I give this Company a 5 out of 5. Thank you. C Flash

Ted and his crew of women finished our basement recently and we are so happy that we had them do it! Amazing work, great communication, no surprise costs and just awesome to deal with. Finished within the timeline given and very clean while they worked. Would recommend them to anyone looking to have work done in their home.

We had Ted and his crew complete our basement. I can not say enough good things about it. They were professional, neat and clean. They communicated everything to us. We never had to wonder what was happening. He always met his timelines that were quoted. It was such a pleasant, stress free experience. I recommend him to all my friends and family. The finished products looks fantastic

My wife and I had the pleasure of hiring Ted and his team through a personal recommendation. Ted and his team of girls installed extensive hardwood flooring throughout our home. Their workmanship was excellent, as each member of the team took pride in completing each room. After each day the team thoroughly cleaned up as they prepared for the following day. The team was always on time, reliable, knowledgeable and very friendly. Ted's quote was competitively priced and we would highly recommend him and his team.

Ivan & Helen

We had the pleasure of having Ted and his team renovate our bathroom. The job involved tearing out an existing shower, relocating a new shower to the other side of the room and refinishing the walls. I was very impressed with the attention to detail, the quality of the work and the daily clean-up that was done to minimize the dust spread to the rest of the house. Ted was easy to work with and was friendly and we will definitely use his services again. Ted is a perfectionist and it shows in the finished product. We would highly recommend using Ted and his team for your project. You won't be disappointed!

We hired Ted for a major renovation including not only the kitchen but almost the entire main floor. From the very beginning we noticed the punctuality of his team. The entire job was done in a very professional manner and by the schedule. They cleaned every single day prior to leaving and at the end of the job the place was spotless. This is a team that I would consider anytime for additional jobs. Thanks Ted and team.

We originally hired Ted and his team to update a very tired basement bathroom but expanded the scope of the project to other parts of the basement to include new walls, floors and ceilings. The main focus was taking a small 3 piece bathroom and expanding the size of the room to create a 4 piece bathroom which meant taking down walls and moving all the plumbing.

On first meeting Ted we knew we wanted him and his team to do the job. He was totally professional right from the start. He listened and understood what we were looking for, worked with us throughout the 4 week project and brought the vision to life exactly how we wanted it.

We had a certain timeline to get it done and Ted and his team delivered on time and on budget. They made this a stress free and pleasurable experience and the transformation in the basement is amazing.

We are planning on having him back in the new year to update the main bathroom upstairs. We have already recommended him to friends of ours and he is starting their basement in the next few weeks.

Ted and his team have done various jobs for us in the past year starting with a kitchen backsplash then a large and difficult painting job and ending with installing laminate flooring. All the work was perfectly done in a short amount of time. I can highly recommend Ted and will certainly use him again for any work we may need in the future.

The work Ted and his crew did on our bathroom vanity and floor is top notch. They were punctual, courteous and hard working. We will definitely use Ted's services again, and highly recommend him for any renovation job!

I am glad I chose Ted to do the work I needed at the house, he reno'd the upstairs shower and various of other small odd jobs. The house I just bought had poor construction done on the shower. It was moist everywhere in the drywall. Ted broke it down to me step by step on what needed to be done and why. He was accommodating with the cost of labour as well. He brought 2 helpers for the week and they were professional as well. They vacuumed everyday after the day of work. Ted communicated with me on a daily basis regarding progress.

The shower turned out beautiful - the tiles were placed professionally - Great job! We can't wait for Ted to renovate the next parts of our house.

we are totally please with the work provided by Ted and his team. All were very professional and courteous during the complete renovation. they arrived on time, did the work better than requested and cleaned up every day before leaving. they saw the vision I had in my head for my bathroom long before I did and we are completely satisfied with the work and looking forward to dealing with Ted again in the near future. thanks to Ted and Team Ted

It was a delight to work with Ted and his team from the initial meeting prior to hiring him until the end of the project. I interviewed over 8 contractors for my home renovation project that entailed a kitchen renovation, 2 bathroom renovations, complete remodeling of all flooring in every room and minor renovations throughout my entire home. Ted was the obvious choice as he submitted a fair price for this renovation project as well as he was willing to work with my visions of the entire project.

I needed my home renovation completed within a 7 week time frame and Ted and his team were willing to work long hours including weekends to meet the promised completion date which they successfully did - I was really happy that he completed my renovation on time!

Ted was willing to accommodate addons, pick up needed items at the stores without charging extra mileage, do "extra" fix ups at no additional cost. I was impressed by his attention to detail and ensuring I was 100% satisfied with the renovation.

I highly recommend Ted and his team as he is very responsive to inquiries, willing to provide design input when needed and will ensure you are completely happy with the renovation throughout the entire process. I enjoyed working with him and his team that I already have future projects lined up for him to do! He is a trustworthy, reliable contractor and without a doubt is one of the best contractors to work with! Thanks again for your hard work and dedication to complete my home renovation project!

My husband and I hired Ted to put a bathroom in our basement near the recroom . He asked a lot of questions found out what we wanted then he gave us a price.

Few days later we called him back and said yes for him to do the work.

He came back with a contract explained what we had to do like the building permit. That took two to three weeks to get. once we had the permit things got started.

Ted and his workers came in broke into the cement and dugout the area for the bathroom pipes.

Ted and his workers are very polite, cleanup and most important on time. Ed said he would be in every morning for 8 am and they were always on time. Cleaned up every day vaccumed the floors and the carpet on the stairs everyday after the work was done for the day.

They didn't mind us coming down to see how things were going. Ted let me see how to lay floor tiles. As you can see by the pictures he has done a terrific job. We really enjoyed having Ted and his guys here.

Recommend him YES. He does an exemplary job. We give him a five star rating. We thankyou so very much for a job well done.

I hired Ted to wall off a large bedroom into two rooms. It included constructing the wall (studding and drywall and trim), priming, installing electrical outlets and a ceiling light, installing a door and trim, painting the French door and trim. I also asked for a couple other electrical outlets in other locations, inside and out of the house. The work was done within the promised time frame The job site was never 'abandoned': you know, when they seem to disappear for days at a time and the job goes on forever. No mysterious things were done to my house (as I have experienced with other contractors). The work was exemplary - so good I have hired him for two more jobs. Ted came with a contract, a timeline and an estimate he did not change. He already knew about holdbacks. All done with no fuss. Very professional. He asked me questions about what I wanted. He listened. He put his equipment away at the end of each day. I recommend Ted. Period.

After he created a room for me, I hired him to put in a pair of swinging French doors for my living room, plus fill in a pass-through to create a display alcove. The usual professional conduct and results. He drywalled in the pass-through creating the alcove and installed a light for display. He installed swinging French doors, after painting them. Trim all around the doors and alcove, and painted. He neatened up at the end of each day. The job was finished on time and on budget. No tomfoolery.

I would HIGHLY recommend 'Renovations by Overmeyer'!! I can confidently say this is the best experience I've ever had with a contractor!! Ted was extremely pleasant to deal with, and finished our job in a very timely fashion with the utmost care and attention to detail. I really couldn't be happier with our experience! We will definitely be using them again and I would encourage any looking for renovations to do the same.

Excellent ! highly recommend !

I hired Renovations by Overmeyer to complete the main bathroom renovation and the work was excellent with the work I requested. Ted took this tired 1960 bathroom and updated it to a beautiful finish. His workmanship is excellent and installed everything I purchased for this renovation with high quality workmanship. He quoted me a timeline and came in exactly on time. I also gave Ted my next renovation which was to update my 2 piece bathroom and fix the ceiling and also to ceramic tile the main entrance to the house and the floor at the basement steps. He also drywalled the front entrance and it looks wonderful. I would recommend Ted highly to anyone that is looking for a solid contractor who is reasonably priced and does excellent work. He is very courteous and always keeps you informed of his progress and next steps in the project.

This was the second time my wife and I have had an outside contractor do major renovation work inside our house. Ted's professionalism was evident from the very outset, when he responded to our request on this website. Throughout the job, he continuously displayed a sense of dedication, attention to detail and thoroughness that was exemplified by the finished product. My wife and I are thrilled at how our new, renovated laundry room looks. This renovation was a significant financial investment for us, and we now know how well spent our money was. If you are in the Durham (or east GTA region) and are looking to have work done on your house, we strongly recommend looking Ted up. We are very happy to give him a glowing reference.

Cale & Nadine Nicholson

We give "Renovations by Overmeyer" a 5+ star rating! We hired Ted's company to do quite an extensive job in our basement. Can't say enough about the quality of workmanship and Ted's professionalism. The lines of communication were always open, he and his staff put in a full day's work...every day of the contract, and the job was finished on time. In fact, we ordered a special order door that was delayed, and a few weeks later when the door came in, as promised he came back to do the installation. I'm so happy that we found a local contractor that we can call upon when we have another home project!

I hired Ted to install laminate in my basement and retile the laundry room and he did an outstanding job in both areas. He was always friendly and professional. I will not hesitate to use Ted Overmeyer Renovations again for my next home renovation project.

Thank you,

Ted was an outstanding contractor who shares the same view on using quality building materials when doing a job. Both the bathroom tiling and laminate floor in my basement were outstanding. Ted made a recommendation on using tile for the baseboards and this was a change in the plan that made the bathroom project a big success. I have worked with many contractors in the past including complete bathroom renovations, complete basement renovation, hardwood installation, painting and a heritage cabin installation. I can say without hesitation that Ted is in the top echelon of contractors you can trust. His work is ecellent and I highly recommend his services.

Ted has done various jobs for me, changing light fixtures, faucets, replacing kitchen counter and sink, retile of bathroom tile, and installing hardwood flooring. He does excellent work, I would recommend him with confidence to anyone.

My experience with T.H.O Home Renovations was very satisfying. The first project was a simple one, kitchen back splash. An absolute beautiful job. They were under budget and very fast but with the speed came very great quality workmanship. I decided to try them again for a bigger job. They completely renovated my basement to create a comfortable but fun space for a recreational room. It was perfect. I started on my new deck this summer and asked them to drop by to give me ideas, not thinking of using them at the time. The owner of the company came to my house and before I knew it he was helping me build it a three level deck that did not cost much more than my original plans. I would highly suggest to anyone that if you are planning on doing any type of renovation give T.H.O Home Renovations a call. Mike Holmes would certainly approve of this contractor. they are one of the good guys that actually listen and do it right.
