Century and heritage homes in Hamilton

Hamilton's older homes, many built before the Second World War, have character worth keeping and systems that usually are not: knob-and-tube or early wiring, plaster and lath walls, stone or block foundations, and framing that is rarely square. We open these houses carefully, test for asbestos and lead paint before demolition, and plan for what is behind the walls instead of pretending it will not be there.

Post-war bungalows and back-splits in Hamilton

The post-war bungalows and back-splits in Hamilton are solid, simple houses that renovate well. Typical work includes taking out the wall between the kitchen and living room, replacing galvanized supply pipes and cast-iron drains, upgrading the electrical service, and making better use of the basement, which often already has a side door at grade.

Newer homes built since 2000 in Hamilton

Newer Hamilton homes have good bones and builder-grade finishes. The most common projects are finishing the basement, often with a bathroom roughed in by the builder, and upgrading kitchens and ensuites. Engineered floor joists cannot be cut or notched without an engineer's approval, and in the first years of ownership it is worth checking how a change affects your Tarion new-home warranty.

A kitchen renovation is one of the most common projects we quote in Hamilton. The housing here includes century homes, post-war Mountain bungalows and newer suburban builds, and whether the goal is a brighter, more open space or simply more storage and better workflow, the right plan depends on the house.

Basement Finishing in Hamilton

Plenty of Hamilton homes, from Lower City and Westdale to the rest of the area, have a basement that is unfinished or finished decades ago. Either way, it is usually the cheapest square footage in the house to turn into real living space.

We finish Hamilton basements from bare concrete to move-in ready: insulation, framing, bathrooms, wet bars, laundry, pot lights, drywall, flooring and trim, with the permit and inspections handled.

Legal Basement Apartments in Hamilton

In Hamilton, homeowners are adding legal secondary suites to help with the mortgage and to keep family close. The key is building one properly, with a permit, so the unit is safe, insurable and adds value when you sell.

Before we quote a Hamilton basement apartment, we confirm the City of Hamilton's requirements for your property. Then we plan fire separation, egress windows, the entrance, alarms, the suite kitchen and bathroom, and the permit, so the unit is legal from day one.
