Renovation Contractor in Hamilton, Ontario
Lugo Home Services is a Hamilton renovation company helping homeowners finish basements, rebuild kitchens, add living space and improve their yards — with honest pricing and work that holds up.
Hamilton is a city of very different housing stock. A century home in Durand needs a completely different approach than a 2010s build in Ancaster, and a mountain bungalow with a low basement is another job again. As a general contractor in Hamilton, we plan each project around the house in front of us — its age, its structure and what the City will require — instead of forcing a template onto it.
Most of the work we do here falls into three buckets: getting more usable space out of what a home already has, modernizing rooms that have aged out, and improving the outside of the property. That means basement renovations, kitchen renovations, home additions, decks, fences, custom sheds, demolition and general home improvements — handled by one crew with one schedule.
You get a free on-site visit, a written itemized quote, and a straight answer about what your home actually needs. If a smaller scope will get you most of the result, we'll say so.

Renovations Across Hamilton
We take on projects throughout the amalgamated city. Downtown and the lower city are full of older homes where knob-and-tube, uneven framing and tight basements shape the work. Ancaster, Waterdown and Binbrook are largely newer suburban properties where homeowners are usually finishing basements, expanding kitchens or building serious backyard space. Dundas mixes heritage streets with mature lots, Stoney Creek runs from older village homes to newer subdivisions along the lake, and Mount Hope is a growing pocket with plenty of room for additions, decks and outbuildings. Same crew, same standards — the approach just changes with the house.

Hamilton renovation questions
It depends entirely on scope. As rough guidance from projects we've completed locally: finished basements commonly run $35,000–$85,000, full kitchens $30,000–$80,000, and home additions start well above that. Smaller improvements like a deck, shed or single-room refresh cost a fraction of those numbers. We give you a written itemized quote so you're comparing a real price, not an average.
Many do. The City of Hamilton generally requires a building permit for structural changes, new framed rooms in a basement, decks over 24 inches above grade, additions, and most plumbing or electrical alterations. Cosmetic work like paint, flooring or cabinet replacement usually doesn't. We tell you which applies and handle the applications and inspections.

Yes. Interior work covers basements, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, drywall and paint; exterior work covers decks, fences, sheds, additions, demolition and general property improvements. Many homeowners bundle both so one crew handles the whole property.
A deck or shed is usually one to two weeks. A kitchen runs four to six weeks on site, a finished basement four to eight, and an addition several months once permits are approved. You get a schedule with your quote and updates as the work progresses.
