Finding one who manages the full scope — design decisions, permit submissions, trade coordination, and daily accountability — is where the market falls short. Gateway fills that gap. We're not just renovators, we're builders. That distinction matters when your project is complex.

Common Questions
What types of renovation projects do you take on?▼
We focus on complex residential renovations — whole-home transformations, home additions, second storey additions, multi-unit conversions, and major interior renovations. As a Tarion-registered builder, we handle structural and new-build scope that typical contractors cannot. We do not focus on isolated single-trade jobs.
What does a home renovation cost in Hamilton?▼
Every project is different, so we give you a fixed-price quote after a free assessment — not a vague estimate. Major whole-home renovations and additions typically range from $75,000 upward depending on scope, size, and finishes. We'll give you a clear ballpark after our first conversation before either of us invests more time.
Do you handle all the permits for my renovation?▼
Yes — completely. We prepare and submit all required building permits with the City of Hamilton, manage all inspections, and ensure code compliance throughout. You never need to contact the building department or follow up on approvals.
How do you prevent the project from going over budget?▼
We use fixed-price contracts — the number in your proposal is the number you pay. Before we set that price, we do a thorough site assessment specifically to avoid surprises mid-build. We have 12+ years of Hamilton renovation experience and know what to look for before breaking ground.
How long will my renovation take?▼
Timelines depend on scope. A major whole-home renovation or addition typically takes 3 to 6 months. We provide a project schedule in your proposal so you know what to expect before construction starts, and send a WhatsApp update every active build day.
Are you licensed and insured in Hamilton?▼
Yes. Gateway Group is a Tarion-registered builder, fully insured, and WSIB compliant. We carry all required licences for residential renovation and construction work in Hamilton and across Ontario. You can verify our Tarion registration directly on the Tarion registry.
What areas in Hamilton do you serve?▼
We work throughout Hamilton including Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Waterdown, and Hamilton Mountain. If you're outside these areas, contact us — we review projects on a case-by-case basis.
