Jopie Construction Group is a Hamilton-based general contractor serving Stoney Creek — including Downtown Stoney Creek, Fifty Point, Winona and Fruitland. Winona and Fruitland in particular have seen a lot of newer subdivision growth, and one of our most common calls is a family who's just moved in and is looking to finish an unfinished basement, or update a builder-grade kitchen or bathroom into something that actually fits how they live. We plan the work, run the schedule and budget, coordinate and self-perform the trades, and deliver a finished result on residential and commercial projects — one team, from first walkthrough to final punch list.

Why Jopie
Most contractors can swing a hammer; far fewer can run a project. Whether it's finishing an unfinished basement in a newer Fruitland build or updating a kitchen in Downtown Stoney Creek, we bring the same large-scale project-management discipline to the job, so it's delivered on time, on budget and without the chaos.
Building and renovating in Stoney Creek: local notes
- Permits go through the City of Hamilton. Stoney Creek has been part of Hamilton since amalgamation, so permits for structural work, new bathrooms, egress windows and secondary suites go through the City's building division. We prepare the application and book inspections.
- Lakeshore neighbourhoods. Areas near Lake Ontario, such as Fifty Point and Winona, can have higher groundwater. We assess moisture and drainage before finishing a basement.
- Newer subdivisions. Homes in newer parts of Stoney Creek and Fruitland usually have more predictable framing, so the work is typically finishes: kitchens, bathrooms, basements and painting.
- Mixed housing stock. Older lower-city homes and newer subdivisions sit close together, so we scope each project to the actual house rather than the neighbourhood.
FAQ
Do you work in Stoney Creek?
Yes — we regularly take on projects in Stoney Creek, including Downtown Stoney Creek, Fifty Point, Winona and Fruitland. We're based in Hamilton, a short drive from Stoney Creek, and treat Stoney Creek as one of our core service areas, not an afterthought.
We just moved into a newer Stoney Creek home with an unfinished basement — can you help?
Yes — this is one of the most common calls we get from Winona and Fruitland, where a lot of homes were sold with an unfinished basement. We turn that space into a rec room, extra bedroom or bathroom, planned and built as one project rather than a patchwork of separate trades.
Do you handle both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. We manage and build residential renovations and additions as well as commercial and industrial projects across Hamilton and the surrounding area.
What makes Jopie different from other contractors?
Our own crew self-performs much of the work, and one team plans, schedules and manages your project from start to finish — instead of you coordinating separate trades yourself.
Are you insured and WSIB-covered?
Fully insured and WSIB-covered. Documentation provided before work begins.
