Home renovations
in Burlington.
Lakeside
character.
Burlington sits along the western edge of our service area and the western edge of Lake Ontario. It is a city of established character, with mid-century bungalows lining the streets of Roseland and Tyandaga, lakefront properties along the waterfront, and growing infill construction throughout the central neighbourhoods. Established without being stuck. Growing without losing what makes it Burlington.
Most of our Burlington work happens in homes built between the 1950s and 1980s. These are well-built houses with solid bones, just dated layouts and finishes. Our renovations open up walls, modernize kitchens and bathrooms, finish the basement, and refresh the exterior. The character stays. The function catches up to how families live now.
Beyond the established core, Aldershot is transitioning quickly with new infill builds and major renovations. Northern Burlington holds executive communities like Millcroft and Headon Forest. We work across all of it, from a quick bathroom refresh in a 1960s bungalow to full whole-home transformations in newer Burlington homes.

Let's renovate your Burlington home.
Built for established homes.
Burlington homes are mostly older. That changes how we work. Older homes have surprises behind the walls, electrical and plumbing that needs updating alongside the visible renovation, and structures that need careful planning before walls come down.
Mid-Century Bungalow Experience
Burlington's mid-century homes have unique quirks. Asbestos in some materials, knob-and-tube electrical, galvanized plumbing, and original plaster walls. We know what to look for and how to handle each situation properly.
Lakefront Bylaws
Lakefront and waterfront properties in Burlington come with conservation authority approvals and shoreline regulations. We have managed these approvals before and can navigate the permit process without unnecessary delays.
Modernization at Scale
Updating a 60-year-old home means more than new finishes. Electrical panel upgrades, plumbing replacement, insulation, and HVAC are often part of the scope. We plan for it upfront so it does not surprise the budget halfway through.
Local Trade Network
Burlington has a strong local trade community. Electrician, plumbers, drywallers, painters, and finishers we have worked with for years. Working in this town, we tap into a network that delivers consistent quality.

Common local questions.
The questions Burlington homeowners ask us most often.
Yes. Mid-century bungalows in Roseland, Tyandaga, and Brant Hills are some of our most common Burlington projects. They typically need full kitchen and bathroom modernization, basement finishing, and often electrical and plumbing updates alongside the renovation. We plan for those underlying updates upfront.
Yes. Aldershot is transitioning quickly with infill construction and major renovations. We handle full-scope projects there, including significant additions and complete home transformations. We are familiar with the area's permit timelines and the City of Burlington's expectations.
City of Burlington permits typically take 3 to 6 weeks for cosmetic renovations and 6 to 12 weeks for structural changes or additions. Heritage permits in downtown areas take longer. We submit complete drawings the first time to keep approvals on schedule.
Burlington bathroom renovations typically run $25K to $45K for a family bath and $40K to $75K for a primary ensuite renovation. The wide range reflects whether plumbing needs replacement, whether the layout changes, and the level of finish. We give project-specific quotes after measuring the space.
Yes. Burlington lakefront properties along Beach Boulevard, downtown, and through Aldershot's waterfront come with conservation authority approvals. We have navigated lakefront permits before and understand the setbacks, environmental considerations, and shoreline rules.
Mid-century homes can have asbestos in popcorn ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, drywall mud, and pipe insulation. Before any major renovation, we have a sample tested. If asbestos is present, we coordinate with a licensed abatement contractor to remove it safely. The cost is real but predictable, and we factor it into the project upfront.
George and his team built us a custom oak staircase that has become the centrepiece of our home. Detail-obsessed craftsmanship, clean job site, and a finished result we did not think we could afford.
