Renovations, Abatement & Demolition Done Right — Guaranteed.

HMJ Contracting INC is a locally owned and operated contracting company based in Ottawa, Ontario. Since 1999, we have been helping homeowners and property managers across the National Capital Region with a wide range of residential and commercial construction services. Our team specializes in renovations, certified hazardous material abatement, interior and structural demolition, junk removal, and custom deck and fence installation.

What sets HMJ apart is our commitment to doing the job right the first time. We provide detailed, itemized quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins. Our crew shows up on time, keeps the job site clean, and communicates clearly from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. That approach has earned us a perfect 5.0-star rating on Google and a reputation built almost entirely on word-of-mouth referrals.

Whether you need asbestos, mold, or lead safely removed from an older property, a kitchen or bathroom completely renovated, a structure demolished and cleared, unwanted junk hauled away, or a beautiful new deck or privacy fence installed, HMJ Contracting has the experience, equipment, and certifications to handle it all under one roof. We serve Ottawa and surrounding communities including Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven, Nepean, Gloucester, Stittsville, Manotick, Rockland, and Carleton Place.

Renovation Services Tailored to Ottawa Homes

Ottawa homes range from century-old heritage properties in the Glebe and Sandy Hill to modern builds in Barrhaven and Riverside South. Each type of home presents unique renovation challenges, and our 25 years of local experience means we understand the structural considerations, permit requirements, and material choices that work best for Ottawa's climate and building stock. Whether you are updating a dated kitchen with new cabinetry and countertops, converting an unfinished basement into a rental-ready apartment, or gutting a bathroom down to the studs for a complete rebuild, HMJ Contracting delivers results that last.

Our renovation process begins with a thorough consultation where we listen carefully to your goals, assess the existing space, and discuss realistic timelines and budgets. We then prepare a fully itemized written quote that breaks down every material, every trade, and every hour of labour so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives. Our team coordinates all required City of Ottawa building permits and inspections, manages material deliveries, and keeps the work area clean and organized throughout the project. When the job is done, we walk through every detail with you to make sure the finished result meets or exceeds your expectations.

Popular renovation projects we handle across Ottawa include kitchen renovations with new cabinetry, countertops, tile backsplashes, and lighting upgrades; bathroom renovations including tile showers, vanities, soaker tubs, and heated floors; basement finishing projects that create additional living space, home offices, gyms, or secondary suites; and full home renovations that coordinate multiple rooms under a single timeline with one dedicated crew.

Certified Asbestos, Mold and Lead Abatement in Ottawa

Many Ottawa homes built before the 1990s contain hazardous materials such as asbestos insulation, lead-based paint, or hidden mold behind walls and under flooring. Disturbing these materials during a renovation or demolition without proper containment and removal can create serious health risks for your family, your tenants, or your workers. HMJ Contracting is fully certified for hazardous material abatement and follows strict Ministry of Labour protocols on every job.

Our abatement process includes professional inspection and sampling, full containment with negative air pressure and HEPA filtration, safe removal by trained and certified technicians wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, certified disposal at approved facilities, and post-removal air quality testing to confirm the space is safe for reoccupation. We provide complete documentation for your records and compliance needs, which is especially important for real estate transactions, insurance claims, and commercial property management.

Common abatement scenarios we handle in Ottawa include asbestos-containing floor tiles, pipe insulation, ceiling texture, and drywall compound in homes built before 1990; mold remediation in basements, attics, and behind bathroom walls caused by water intrusion or poor ventilation; and lead paint abatement in older homes and commercial buildings undergoing renovation or change of use. If you are planning any renovation or demolition work on a property built before the 1990s, we strongly recommend a professional inspection before work begins.

Demolition Services for Ottawa Homes and Commercial Properties

Professional interior and structural demolition is the foundation of many successful renovation projects. HMJ Contracting provides controlled, clean demolition services for both residential and commercial properties across Ottawa. We handle everything from selective interior strip-outs removing specific walls, ceilings, flooring, or fixtures to full structural removal of entire buildings or major additions.

Every demolition project begins with a detailed site review and planning session. We identify what stays, what goes, and how to protect adjacent areas from dust, debris, and structural damage. We manage all required demolition permits with the City of Ottawa, coordinate utility disconnections where necessary, and ensure the site is safe and properly contained before any removal work begins. Once demolition is complete, we handle all debris hauling and site cleanup so the property is ready for the next phase of construction without delay.

Junk Removal and Decking and Fencing Across Ottawa

Beyond renovations and abatement, HMJ Contracting provides professional junk removal services for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses across Ottawa. Our junk removal service is available same-day for urgent cleanouts, and we recycle and donate materials whenever possible to minimize landfill waste. Common junk removal requests include furniture and appliance removal, estate cleanouts, garage and basement cleanouts, construction debris hauling after renovation projects, and full commercial property cleanouts.

For homeowners looking to upgrade their outdoor living space, we design and install custom decks and privacy fences using composite, wood, and vinyl materials built to withstand Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snowfall. Our decking and fencing projects include everything from simple privacy fence installations along property lines to multi-level composite decks with built-in seating, planters, and lighting. We handle all required permits for deck construction and ensure every installation meets local building code requirements for structural integrity and safety.
