Island Life Construction
Your Satisfaction is Our Goal!

Satisfied customers are a company's best publicity. So when customers take some of their precious time to praise our products, services and, of course, our staff, we can hardly be expected to keep it under our hat.

We purchased our condo at Estero Beach and Tennis Club in 2000, but knew at the time of purchase that we would need to do some upgrading. For several years we did piecemeal work on various parts of the condo, finally realizing that to stay competitive we would need to renovate the 25 year old unit bringing it up to the modern and decorative standards and quality we wanted our rental guests to enjoy.

We started our search for a contractor by keeping our eyes and ears open, talking to people. One contractor stood out above others. We were introduced to Michael Sooklaris, Island Life Construction, by a close friend who was thinking of having Michael remodel his unit. We tagged along with our friend as Michael took him through the condos that he had already remodeled, and we were stunned at the transformation that these already-completed units had made with Michael's planning and workmanship. We hired Michael that evening, even before our friend had a change to grab him. We knew Michael would be busy and wanted to make a commitment before others got to him first.

With Michael's advice we decided on the extent of the remodeling. We knew he was the expert and had completed several identical units and would know what was appropriate for the layout and square footage. He also was knowledgeable of the Association regulations requiring certain preparations to be done before work could begin. Together we set the dates for the work to start and left town. We hope this recommendation of Michael's work is an ample thank you to him for the quality of his work, his thoroughness, honesty and friendship. He is extremely easy to work with and we have hired him for other projects which he has fit into a busy schedule to help us out.

Beth and I recommend Mike for his good work on our Condo-Unit 1003 at Lovers Key Beach Club. You are welcome to view our place. He was always accessible-Day and Night-by cell phone-seven days a week. He did what we requested and did it in an expedient manner. It took less than 3 weeks. Helpful with his suggestions. We were pleased with the end result and know that you would be also.

Dear Mike,

I wanted to thank you for the beautiful remodel job you did on my condo on Ft Myers Beach. When I called your company for an appointment I had little idea of exactly what I wanted to do with the unit. When you came to see the place and gave me your ideas as to what the unit could look and presented me with all the different scenarios that could go into a remodel job I was amazed at how little I knew. You guided me through the different steps for each room and the approximate cost. You left little to worry about and explained each and every step in a professional manner with expertise.

Your knowledge of the building industry is amazing. You went step by step thru each room with exact detail. Your kitchen designs took my old kitchen to a modern room with beautiful cupboards and counter tops to the new energy efficient appliances and brought it all together with the flooring. The bathrooms were also out of date and you designed those with exact detail bringing the finished product to be more water cost effective and the new Florida colors of today in the flooring and walls. As you went from room to room showing me the new styles of this era and how the little trim ideas and matching color schemes and more traffic resistant flooring I was so grateful to have someone helping me that showed a complete understanding of the business. Every room in the condo looks like a picture in a magazine. I could not be more happy with your work and your designs and ideas. I also like your business approach explaining the costs involved from the lower end scale remodel to the higher end scale of a remodel leaving the final decision to me. Your knowledge of every aspect of the building/ construction/ remodel business and your ability to make the finished product look exactly as you described it will make any potential customer happy. I would recommend your work to anyone and they can view my condo for peace of mind if they have any apprehension. Thanks again Mike.

Dear Angel,

Just wanted to thank you for a great renovation of my condo on Fort Myers Beach. Your ideas and design of the kitchen and bath have brought the unit into the 21st century. Thanks for working with me through the entire process and making my part easy by taking charge of the entire remodeling. I have received many comments about my "new" unit concerning the additional space now available and your detail in workmanship while making the unit more useable.

Thanks again for a great job,
Bill Whitney
Mike spoke with us before our remodeling project began and gave us a Fair bid - easily comparable or less than other companies. Furthermore, he agreed to complete the project the way that we wanted it and not the way that would have been the easiest. In addition, he offered some very good ideas that were beneficial to us. He has very creative ideas and the abstract ability to see how things will look when finished.

When he worked on the remodel, he was diligent and did excellent work.
If there were changes to be made, he was willing to work with us on the
changes. The fact that Mike is able to complete all of the construction himself including wiring, plumbing, etc. greatly speeds up the completion time of the construction. His having remodeled several other condos in our complex is beneficial since he knows what to expect and any problems he may encounter.

After the project was completed, Mike made a final inspection with us before we sat down to work out the final costs. He was flexible in working with us on choosing products allowing us to make changes and/or upgrades to our liking. Mike adhered to his original bid plus or minus the changes. He is pleasant to work with and Nancy and I would recommend him your remodeling projects.
