You've worked hard for your Okemos home. When it's time to remodel it, you want a local team you can trust to do the job the right way, not a crew from two counties over that you'll never see again.
The search doesn't make it easy. Look up "okemos remodeling contractors" and you get a wall of companies that all say the same thing, none of them will talk price, and half aren't even from around here. Picking the wrong one can cost you tens of thousands of dollars and a year of stress.
Odd Fellows Contracting has been remodeling homes in Okemos and across Greater Lansing since 1988. We're a full-service design-build company based minutes away in Williamston, and we handle the whole range of work, from a full kitchen or addition down to a single odd job that's too small for a big remodel but too big for a weekend.

Design-Build Remodeling for Okemos, MI Homes
We're a full-service design-build remodeler, which means the design and the construction live under one roof and one contract.
You're not hiring a designer, then a separate contractor, then hoping the two talk to each other. Our in-house designers, 3D renderings, and appointment-only showroom let you see and plan the whole project before anyone picks up a hammer. That's the difference that makes fixed pricing possible and keeps surprises off your final bill. Here's the full range we handle for Okemos homes.
Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is where most Okemos remodels start, and often where they grow. We handle everything from a focused refresh to a full layout change, opening up walls, moving plumbing, and rebuilding the space around how you actually cook and gather. See what's possible on our kitchen remodeling page, or pick up a few ideas from our guide to maximizing small kitchens.
Bathroom Remodeling in Okemos
Bathrooms are one of our most requested projects in Okemos, and they're rarely just a cosmetic swap. We rework layouts, expand cramped rooms by borrowing space, improve accessibility, and rebuild the plumbing and subfloor underneath so the work lasts. Our Briarwood bathroom remodel right here in Okemos is a good example, more on that below. Explore our bathroom remodeling work, or read what goes into a shower replacement in the Lansing area.
Home Additions
Sometimes the answer isn't reworking what you have, it's adding to it. When you need more room, a new primary suite, or a bump-out that finally makes the floor plan work, we design and build the addition to match your existing home instead of looking bolted on. See our home additions page.
Whole-Home Remodeling
More Okemos homeowners are choosing to reinvest in the home they already love instead of buying new. A whole-home remodel reimagines the entire floor plan at once, so the kitchen, baths, and living spaces work together rather than being updated one disconnected project at a time. Our team walks through what that means in what is design-build, or see our whole-home remodeling page.
Basement Remodeling
A finished basement is some of the most affordable square footage you can add. We turn unused lower levels into family rooms, guest suites, home offices, and more, handling the moisture, egress, and mechanical details that a Michigan basement requires. For the safety details that matter, see our note on finished basement safety.
Decks & Outdoor Living
We design and build decks and outdoor living spaces made to hold up to Michigan's freeze-thaw winters. That means the right materials and the right footings, so your deck is still solid after a decade of snow load and spring thaw, not sagging by year three. More on our approach to decks and outdoor living in the Greater Lansing area.
Odd Jobs: Home Services & Handyman in OKEMOS, MI
Not every project needs a full design-build remodel. That's exactly why we created Odd Jobs.
Odd Jobs is our home services and handyman division, and it fills the gap most Okemos homeowners run into. A traditional handyman won't touch anything over a few hundred dollars, and a full design-build contractor isn't the right fit for a one-day fix. Odd Jobs is the in-between: the projects that are too big for a handyman and too small for a full remodel. Not sure which you need? Our guide on handyman vs. contractor breaks it down.
That covers a wide range, with projects running from around $500 up to $40,000 and an average job around $4,300. Think trim and door work, tile and backsplash, flooring, small repairs, and the punch list that's been sitting on your fridge for a year. For real numbers, see how much home handyman services cost in Lansing, MI.
Odd Jobs runs on its own streamlined process, separate from our design-build remodels, so a smaller project doesn't get bogged down in a big-project timeline. Got odd jobs? Get Odd Jobs. Big or small, we can do it all.
What Your OKEMOS, MI Remodel Might Cost
Most remodelers in Okemos won't talk price until they're standing in your kitchen. We'd rather you have a real number before you ever call.
Here's where projects in the Greater Lansing area typically land, pulled straight from our cost guide:
- Kitchen remodel: $18,000 for a refresh, up to $145,000+ for a fully custom build
- Bathroom remodel: $18,000 to $85,000+ depending on scope and finishes
- Home addition: $45,000 for a screened room, up to $300,000+ for a primary suite
- Basement remodel: $17,000 for finished storage, up to $170,000+ for a full guest suite
- Whole-home remodel: roughly $120 per square foot on the economy end, $225+ for luxury
- Deck and outdoor living: $20,000 to $46,000+ depending on materials
Wide ranges, and that's on purpose. What moves your project inside them is size, finish level, and whether you're changing the layout. An older Okemos home can add a few wildcards too, from dated wiring to whatever's hiding behind a wall built decades ago.
The calculator below walks you through the same questions we'd ask on a first call and gives you an honest range for your specific project, along with a rough timeline. It takes about a minute.
Once you've got a ballpark, our free Greater Lansing Remodeling Cost Guide breaks each service down further. Whatever the calculator shows, your real number gets locked into a fixed-price contract during planning, so it can't balloon on you mid-project.
Why OKEMOS, MI Homeowners Choose Odd Fellows Contracting
Choosing a remodeler comes down to one thing: risk. The right partner takes that risk off your shoulders. Here's how we do it.
38 years in Greater Lansing
Trust starts with track record, and ours goes back to 1988. That's 38 years of kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and whole-home projects across Okemos and the Greater Lansing area, and more than 1,200 completed projects. We're local, not a national franchise, so we know the older housing stock in Okemos, the newer builds, and how Michigan winters affect everything from scheduling to materials. If you're weighing your options, our take on choosing a home remodeling contractor is worth a read.
Homeowners tend to scan reviews before they read a word of your website, and ours hold up: a 4.7-star rating across 122 Google reviews, and we were named a 2025 City Pulse Top of the Town winner. Reviews aren't just proof for you. They're a standard we hold ourselves to on every job.
A clear 6-step design-build process
The fear behind most remodeling decisions isn't really about money. It's about the unknown. What happens after I sign? Who's in charge? What if something goes wrong?
A clear process is the answer. Our 6-step design-build process puts most of the work into planning before construction begins:
- Initial consultation and planning to understand your project and goals
- Pre-construction planning to map out the work in detail
- Design and selections with our in-house designers
- Fixed pricing and agreement so you're aligned before anything moves forward
- Construction by the team that planned the project, not just bid on it
- Completion and follow-through, because the relationship doesn't end at the final walkthrough
Fewer surprises, fewer change orders, and a timeline you can actually plan your life around. Curious how long that runs? See our Lansing remodeling timelines guide.
Fixed pricing, no surprises
The single most common remodeling horror story is the budget that balloons after demolition starts. We take that off the table.
Before any demolition begins, you get a fixed-price contract. No vague estimates, no allowances that quietly grow later. That's only possible because of how much we plan up front, so the number you agree to is the number you pay. If you want to see where your project might land before you ever call, our free Greater Lansing Remodeling Cost Guide gives you real local cost ranges for kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and basements, built from decades of projects in this area.
Real OKEMOS, MI-Area Projects
You want to picture your own outcome, and the best way to do that is to see real projects, at a scope similar to yours, in neighborhoods you recognize. Here are three recent ones from around Okemos.
Briarwood Bathroom Remodel, Okemos
The homeowners wanted a larger, more accessible shower, more storage, and a brighter room. We reworked the layout to expand the bathroom, borrowing unused bedroom closet space to make room for a bigger shower, then relocated the toilet to open up floor space. Onyx Collection cultured stone, a frameless glass enclosure, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a taller linen cabinet finished it off.
Hiawatha Lakes Kitchen Remodel, Okemos
We pulled out the old peninsula and built the kitchen around a new island, pairing white cabinets with stained white oak and Cambria quartz counters. The project grew from there into a garage-entry mudroom conversion with updated laundry and a half bath, a good example of how an Okemos kitchen often opens the door to the rest of the main floor.
Okemos Trex Deck Expansion
This project expanded an existing deck while reusing as much of the original structure as we could. The finished main-floor deck uses composite Trex decking with new stairs and more room for backyard living, built to stand up to Michigan's freeze-thaw seasons.
You can see the full range on our project portfolio, where our team writes up the story behind each one instead of just posting photos.
