Contractor in Downtown Ottawa: Renovations, Abatement & More
HMJ Contracting brings 25+ years of Ottawa experience to Downtown Ottawa — renovations, certified asbestos & mould abatement, demolition, junk removal, and decks & fencing.
Working downtown
Centretown, Sandy Hill, Lowertown, Hintonburg — downtown Ottawa's century homes and pre-war walk-ups are beautiful, and almost all of them predate modern building materials. Knob-and-tube era plaster, lead paint, and asbestos in everything from duct tape to floor tile are the norm, not the exception.
HMJ's certified abatement crews work downtown constantly: contained removal in occupied buildings, tight-access demolition, and renovations that respect heritage character while bringing kitchens, bathrooms and layouts up to modern standards. We're used to parking permits, shared walls, and neighbours ten feet away.
Good to know about Downtown Ottawa homes
Downtown work is logistics work — permits, tight sites, shared walls, and tenants. We plan containment, disposal runs, and noise windows around all of it, and provide the full documentation landlords and condo boards ask for.
