Built on Showing Up and Doing What We Said We Would

Serving the Greater Lansing area since 1988 with a process that puts homeowners first

A Remodeling Company Rooted in Trust

Odd Fellows Contracting has been remodeling homes in the Greater Lansing area since 1988. What started as two guys doing small “odd jobs” has grown into a full-service design-build remodeling company serving Lansing, Okemos, East Lansing, Grand Ledge, Mason, Holt, and surrounding communities. Today, we handle everything from kitchens and bathrooms to home additions, whole house remodels, finished basements, decks, and handyman services through Odd Jobs.

Homeowners choose us because they want a dependable contractor who shows up, communicates clearly, and gives them a fixed price before construction begins. We follow a structured design-build process that puts a strong focus on planning before construction begins. This helps reduce surprises, limit change orders, and keep your project on schedule. After 38 years in business, we are proud to be one of the oldest remodeling contractors in the Lansing area, and we still approach every project with the same mindset we started with: do what you say you are going to do.

An Established Process That Protects Your Investment

Our design-build process puts the majority of the work into planning before construction begins. That means detailed design, accurate pricing, and clear scheduling upfront. You know what your project costs before work starts, and you can track your timeline along the way.

Full-Service,
In-House Team

Design, 3D renderings, estimating, project management, and production are all handled under one roof. Keeping everything in-house allows us to maintain quality, improve communication, and deliver a smoother remodeling experience for homeowners throughout the Greater Lansing area.

Recognized and Trusted in Our Community

We have been serving homeowners in the Greater Lansing area since 1988. Along the way, we have been recognized with awards like Top of the Town Best Remodeling Contractor and Remodeling Big 50. What matters most to us is earning the trust of families who invite us into their homes year after year.

OUR STORY

1988

Two Fellows and a Dream

Odd Fellows Contracting began in 1988 when Bret Oleksyn and Dave Fox started taking on small remodeling and repair projects. They were just a couple of fellows doing “odd jobs,” and the name stuck.

From the beginning, they built the business around something simple but rare in the industry. Show up when you say you will. Communicate clearly. Do the work the right way. That mindset is still the foundation of the company today.

Growth Through Reputation

As projects grew in size, so did the company. What started with smaller jobs evolved into kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, additions, and full home remodeling projects across the Greater Lansing area.

That growth did not come from chasing volume. It came from referrals, repeat clients, and a reputation for doing what you say you are going to do.

Expanding Services and Leadership

Over time, the team expanded to include in-house designers, remodeling specialists, project foremen, and a dedicated production team. Brian Taylor joined the company in sales after earning his degree in construction management and working in project management.

Today, Brian plays a key role in the continued growth of the company and its transition into the next chapter, while staying true to the values the business was built on.

Today

OUR PROVEN REMODELING PROCESS

1 | Plan Your Project
We start with a conversation about your goals, budget, and how you want your space to function. From there, we schedule an in-home consultation to review your home, walk through ideas, and outline the next steps. This is where your project begins to take shape.
2 | Design and Finalize the Details
Our team works with you to develop layouts, selections, and a clear plan for your remodel. We guide you through materials, finishes, and design decisions so everything is aligned before construction begins. With detailed planning in place, we are able to provide a fixed price and a defined scope of work.
3 | Build and Deliver
Once everything is finalized, our production team gets to work. Your project is managed by a dedicated team that keeps things organized, communicates regularly, and maintains a clean jobsite. When the project is complete, we walk through everything with you to make sure it meets expectations.

What Homeowners Are Saying

"Odd Fellowes Contracting did a complete master bathroom overhaul for us and improved our lighting and countertop in our kitchen. Removed a couple out buildings and installed a new ramp for the basement apartment. They were a joy to work with. Communication was top notch, the subs were great to work with as well. Would highly recommend them for your home project." 

Jim Webster

"Odd Fellows was fantastic. We had a hiccup in the job. They listened to us and fixed the problem quickly and professionally. They did quality work and they were extremely fair with regard to pricing. We are very satisfied customers and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Odd Fellows." 

Michael Olson

"HIGHLY recommend Odd Fellows Contacting. From the original consult with Brian, to working with Jaime on the design, and Chris on the construction, everything was perfect. They created our dream bathroom space and I could not be happier. They now have a customer for life in me." 

Jeremy Noss

"Odd Fellows is a fantastic contracting company to work with. They're incredibly responsive, helpful, and friendly. They did amazing work taking our small deck off the side of our house and turning it into a very usable wrap around deck. Their designers worked with us to get us exactly what we wanted and their building team was very friendly and knowledgeable. I will for sure be returning with future business." 

Jaron Bradley

"We never had to worry about the schedule being meet. We also appreciated that their planning was so thorough that there were no big surprises.

Dan Fox did an excellent job in managing our project. He was always quick to resolve any concerns that we had." 

Jordan Miller

"We love our new deck! We had the old cedar planks replaced with Trex decking. Mark was very knowledgeable and helpful. He made sure we knew exactly how the remodel would progress and that we were happy with our choice. Cutty and Trevor were great. They answered any questions we had, cleaned up the area, and were very professional and skilled." 

Sue

"Odd Fellows renovated our bathroom with new flooring, a new tub and shower, and new paint. This was in the middle of 2021, when supply chain issues pushed out the typical timeline for a smaller project like this. They were upfront about the challenges with the logistics and kept in communication every step of the way. When it was time to do the installation, the crew was professional and did high quality work." 

Jeremy Whiting

"Odd Fellows restored 3 outside decks at my house. The management and the workers were very knowledgeable, their expertise was excellent, they were timely, and cost effective. I would recommend them to anyone looking to do any remodeling."
