Voghel Construction Inc

Michael from Vohgel Construction specifically asked me to write a review on HomeStars. (He might regret that request)

In August 2017, I hired Mychael/Voghel Construction to renovate my bathroom. He scheduled the job for two weeks (I planned for a month). The renovation was plagued with problems, and was still not completed in March 2018 - seven months later!

I found his ambition, fell short of his abilities. (Unfortunately for me).

Some of the problems were:
- Workers using Sharpie pens on marble tile.
- Hexagon tiles being laid subway style?
- Mychael’s daily fights with the electrician, who refused to install non-code fixtures.
- a heated floor that never worked.
- not removing all tile and just tiling over existing tile because ... I don’t know why.
- etc.

In February of 2018, without notice, he removed the toilet and sink. I was anticipating work to commence. Nope, they did no work in the bathroom for a month. (I spent a lot of time at the gym)

After the non-heating floor was re-ripped up, (twice now) Mychael/Voghel Construction installed the wrong size, and wrong colour of tile.

Mychael/Voghel Construction has a plenty of time to correct the situation, but chose not to.

Months passed with no communication from Mychael/Voghel Construction (even though they claim to contact everyone within a week) - so I sued in small claims court.

I won twice. File # SC - 18-00003612-0000

Mychael of Voghel Construction is a provincial guy who really is trying to make a go of it. I admire his gumption.

Mychael would often use an excuse, “I’ve never seen that before”, for things he didn’t understand. Unfortunately, Mychael settles for the lowest common denominator.

In all honesty, I cannot recommend Mychael/Voghel Construction.

BUT, if you hire him/his company:
1) Keep a large, 50% hold-back.
2) He has a bit of a temper - ignore it hold your ground.
3) Stand firm on design features, if you want X, don’t be pushed into getting Y.
4) do your research – he is not the ‘expert’ on many things as he claims.
5) double check that what you ordered, is what you got.

Mychael Voghel was highly recommended by the folks at Weston Tile. We did our own kitchen and bathroom demolition and finishing but we lacked experience in tiling and wanted a professional job. We were not disappointed with Voghel Construction! Prompt to come and give an estimate. Tile work beautifully done - on time, on budget. Compliments to Demi who worked long hours installing large tiles floor to ceiling in the bathroom - it looks stunning, as does the kitchen back splash. Mychael runs his business very professionally and his employees are hard-working and friendly. We highly recommend this company.
