Nearly 30 Years of Doing Things the Right Way

1 Day Contractor is led by Mike — a craftsman who got tired of watching the industry fail homeowners. Based in Tallmadge. Serving all of Northeast Ohio.

MEET MIKE

Built on Faith. Delivered With Character.

After nearly 30 years in the trades, Mike has seen how the contractor industry works — and how often it fails the people it's supposed to serve.

Homeowners who can't get a callback. Estimates that are just a number on a piece of paper. Subcontractors who show up with no accountability. Projects that start and don't finish. Bills that don't match the quote.

1 Day Contractor exists because none of that is acceptable.

Mike started this company with a straightforward idea: do what you say, charge what you quote, and leave every home better than you found it. Put it all in writing. Stand behind the work. Treat every home like your own.

That's not a marketing pitch. It's how Mike was raised, what his faith calls him to, and what he delivers on every project.

Why Start a Contractor Business When There Are Already Thousands?

Because most of them aren't doing it right.

Ohio doesn't require a contractor license. There is zero barrier to entry. Anyone can print business cards, buy a truck magnet, and start knocking on doors. No background check. No insurance requirement. No vetting of any kind.

Mike decided to raise the standard:

  • Every employee is background-checked and drug-tested
  • Every estimate is written, itemized, and signed
  • Every project comes with a three-year warranty
  • Every jobsite is cleaned up at the end of every day
  • Every customer gets direct access to the owner
  • These shouldn't be remarkable. But in this industry, they are.

    THE CREW

    Master Craftsmen — Not Random Subcontractors

    Every person on our crew is a W2 employee — not a subcontractor we found last week. They're background-checked, drug-tested, and trained to our standards before they ever step foot in your home.

    We hire craftsmen with master-level skill sets. People who take pride in a tight joint, a clean seam, and a finish that lasts. People who clean up after themselves and treat your home the way they'd treat their own.

    You'll never open your door to a stranger we hired off a job board yesterday. You'll know who's coming, and you'll know they've been vetted.

    What We Stand On

    Integrity

    We do what we say. If we quote it, that’s what you pay. If we commit to a timeline, we keep it. If something goes wrong, we own it.

    Transparency

    Everything in writing. Estimates, scope, warranty, timeline. No verbal promises. No fine print. Nothing hidden.

    Respect

    Your home is where your family lives. We treat it that way. Drop cloths, containment, daily cleanup. We ask about your pets, your kids, and your schedule before we start.

    Faith

    This business is built on Christian values. That doesn’t mean a Bible verse on the business card. It means honesty, accountability, and treating every person the way we’d want to be treated. The values show in the work.

    Craftsmanship

    We take pride in the details. The seam that disappears. The joint that’s tight. The finish that holds up three years later. We don’t cut corners because it’s faster. We do it right because that’s who we are.

    WHERE WE WORK
