A renovation touches every trade, which is why coordination is everything. Jopie Construction Group is based right here in Hamilton and handles renovations end to end — demolition, drywall, tiling, painting, flooring and finishing — under one managed team. That matters most in Hamilton's central neighbourhoods: the character homes of Durand and Kirkendall, the university-adjacent streets of Westdale, and the walkable blocks around Locke Street South often combine older building envelopes with a modern standard of finish homeowners expect. You get a single accountable company and a project manager keeping the schedule and budget on track from start to finish, across Hamilton and the surrounding area.

How much do home renovations cost in Hamilton?

|---|---|---|
| Bathroom renovation | $18,000 – $40,000 | Waterproofing, plumbing relocation, tile and fixtures |
| Kitchen renovation | $30,000 – $90,000 | Layout changes, cabinetry, appliances |

| Whole-home interior painting | $3,000 – $17,000 | Home size, ceilings, wall repairs |

How long does it take?
Bathrooms take 2–4 weeks on site, kitchens 3–6, basements 6–12 and whole-home renovations usually 2–5 months. Custom cabinetry and specialty tile can add several weeks of lead time, so we order them before demolition starts.

What can go wrong with a home renovation — and how we plan for it
- Hidden conditions in older homes. Old wiring, cast-iron drains and undersized framing show up once walls open. We recommend a contingency and price any discovery in writing before proceeding.
- Trades stacking on top of each other. Renovations fail in the gaps between trades. We own the sequence so cabinets are not waiting on electrical that is waiting on drywall.
- Material lead times. Custom cabinets, windows and specialty tile can be the critical path. We order long-lead items first.
- Living in the house during work. Dust, water shut-offs and noise are manageable if planned. We agree on containment and shut-off windows before work begins.
Why Jopie
Renovations go sideways when nobody owns the schedule between trades. We own it — bringing project-management discipline to keep your reno on time, on budget and finished to a standard you'll be proud of.
What a client says about a full-home renovation
We recently hired Jopie Construction Group to renovate our detached home, and they exceeded every expectation. The project included demolishing our old kitchen and three outdated bathrooms, installing a beautiful new kitchen, laying new bathroom tiles, installing a new bathtub, completing drywall repairs and mudding, and painting the entire home, including all walls and ceilings. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding. Every detail was completed with care, and they took the time to fix and touch up areas that needed attention instead of cutting corners. They were punctual, professional, respectful of our home, and kept us informed throughout the project.
Every renovation ends with paint. See our painting service for whole-home repaints and ceiling work.
