About Kris Oleksyn
Kris has been working at Odd Fellows Contracting, along with Bret since 2002. Bret will be the first to attribute most of Odd Fellows Contracting success to Kris’ involvement. Kris’ ability to keep things organized (Bret!) and to develop a customer focused process is a foundation for the OFC culture. Kris’ favorite part of her job is getting to know the customers and fellow workers. Kris has three children and six grandchildren – she loves spending time with them.
Her favorite place in Michigan is to visit the Leelanau Peninsula (the north western part of the Lower Peninsula) where she enjoys traveling to the small towns, hiking and going on seasonal roads. Kris’ dream travel destination is Italy – to travel to small coastal towns there (Tuscany)! Another dream destination would be Fiji Islands, so that she and Bret could scuba dive. They are both certified divers. Along with Bret, Kris loves the fall as well. Her favorite holiday is the Christmas season, where she gets to celebrate Christ’s birth along with spending extended time with her family.

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."
