Burlington The basement went under in 2014. Now someone checks it every storm.
Bathroom and home renovations in Burlington
Albany Contracting Group does bathroom renovations and home renovations in Burlington, from Hamilton. Burlington grew up in the 1960s and 70s, and those houses now want what any fifty-year-old house wants: a new bathroom, a dry basement, steps that don't wobble.

Bathroom renovations in Burlington: still the bathroom the house came with
Fifty years is a long time for one bathroom. The tub is chipped. The tile is a colour nobody picked on purpose. The window steams up and stays that way.
Our bathroom renovations take the room back to what's solid. We fix what we find behind the walls, then build it back: shower or tub, tile, vanity, fixtures, light.
Basement waterproofing for Burlington homes: down the stairs every time it rains
If you were here in 2014, you probably still check the basement when a big storm rolls through. Some find a wet corner. Some find the same stain as last year.
Basement waterproofing starts with finding where the water gets in, inside and out. Then we tell you what we'd do about it, in plain words. When it's dry, the basement can become a room again: see our basement renovations.
Porch rebuilds and repairs: the steps are pulling away from the house
A porch poured fifty years ago has been through fifty winters. The steps tilt. The concrete flakes at the edges. The railing has gone soft at the base.
We do front porch rebuilds: concrete, stone, steps and railings, built back from the base.
