Bathroom renovations and home repairs in Dundas
The house is from 1950. So is the bathroom.
Albany Contracting Group does bathroom renovations in Dundas, plus brick, stone and concrete repairs on older houses. Dundas has a lot of those: two in three of its homes were built before 1981. Albany is family-owned and based in Hamilton, and we price every job in person, at a free consultation.
About Dundas
Most of Dundas was built before 1981, and it shows in the brick. The Census 2021 and the City's heritage records put numbers on it.
- About one in three Dundas homes was built in 1960 or before (Statistics Canada, Census 2021).
- Two in three were built before 1981.
- Fewer than one in ten were built in 2001 or later.
- More than one in four homes is an apartment or a flat, and about one in four households rents.
- The population has barely moved: about 24,150 people lived in Dundas in 2021, against about 24,400 in 2001.
- The City counts about 160 buildings in Dundas that were already standing in 1867.
- Dundas has a new heritage conservation district. The City's Melville-Park West district, 331 properties, took effect on June 27, 2026.
- Inside a heritage conservation district, the City needs a heritage permit before exterior work such as masonry repointing, new windows or rebuilding a porch. The City charges no fee for it. Check the City's heritage permit rules.
Bathroom renovations in Dundas
One bathroom, upstairs, and it's original.
In an older Dundas house, the bathroom can hide more than tired tile. We take it back to what's solid, fix what we find, then build it back up: tub or walk-in shower, tile, fixtures, light. Here's how we run bathroom renovations. Trading the old tub for a shower? Read about tub to shower conversions.
Brick, stone and masonry repair on older homes
The mortar is crumbling and the brick face is flaking off.
Older brick and stone need a mortar that suits them, and a careful hand. We repair brick, stone walls and stone veneer to match what's there. See our stone and masonry work.
Concrete steps and porches
The front steps have pulled away from the house.
Concrete steps, stone steps, porch floors and railings, rebuilt to suit the house they belong to. Here's how we do concrete steps and porch repair and front porch rebuilds.
What older houses need first
In a house this age we check the walls, the floor and the water lines before we talk finishes.
Dundas is part of the City of Hamilton, so the City's permit rules apply here. Our building permit guide shows which jobs need one.

Questions we get
Do you do bathroom renovations in Dundas?
Yes. Albany Contracting Group, based in Hamilton, renovates bathrooms in Dundas, including the original bathrooms in older houses.
How much does a bathroom renovation in Dundas cost?
Every bathroom is priced at a free in-home consultation, because the size of the room and what's behind the walls change the price more than anything else. In an older house, that second part matters more. We quote nothing until we've seen it.
My Dundas house is in a heritage district. Does that change anything?
It can. The City needs a heritage permit before most exterior changes inside a heritage conservation district, including repointing and porch work, so check the City's heritage map before the job is booked.
Can an old Dundas bathroom take a walk-in shower?
Often, yes. Old floors and walls need checking first, for level, rot and water, and we do that at the consultation.
The brick on our Dundas house is flaking. Is that a repair or a rebuild?
It depends how far it's gone. Photos of the worst spots help us talk it through when we call you back.
