Unprofessional company beware!

Unprofessional experience, very unorganized. Didn’t show up, complete as scheduled or flinish job on time as quoted. Always asking for money. Had to finish job myself with 4 extra guys 3 extra days. This company and Mike Appelt is a walking law suit and schemer with poor business ethics so buyer beware! He has reputation for being chased for not paying his employees and bin suppliers.
My bad for giving them the opportunity to prove themselves as have lots of constant demo work as a 36 year licensed General Contractor in Toronto
At least I gave them just a deposit vs paying full amount as it has cost me a lot more to complete their contract.

Took large deposit - no show/no refund

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY AND CHECK WITH THE HAMILTON/HALTON POLICE - Mike has a number of cases of defrauding people on his file. I found them on Kijiji and he was very quick to respond and ask for a deposit. They took a large deposit for a renovation project, and did not show up for 2 days. After multiple attempts to clarify things with Mike and asking for receipts for materials he claimed to have bought with my deposit, he offered to return my deposit and claimed I was, "wasting his time". He used the same excuses others have pointed out - "daughter is sick", "crew not available to work" and even, "my mom is a judge". It has been over two months and I have still not received a refund for my deposit that Mike agreed to return.

Interior demolition

I was stuck with the interior demolition when another demolition guy walked off the job as he could not get the main-storey-ceiling-top-storey-floor framing out. He was cheaper than the demo guys of course. Got in touch with Mike on the phone/email, sent him pictures and got a quote. Work went well although it was delayed by couple of days beyond the couple quoted, however, in reno this is expected. The additional work of boarding windows was not initially negotiated and I feel it cost me more than if it were put in place at the time. That is the only reason why I took a point off. I will say the team knows what they are doing and do it well. Expect delays. Thanks Mike and Trevor.
