General Contractor in Burlington
Oak & Pine Contracting is a Hamilton-based general contractor serving Burlington homeowners. We take on kitchen and bathroom renovations, home additions, basement finishing, secondary suites, and custom deck builds. All licensed trades are coordinated by us from start to finish, so you have one team accountable for the outcome rather than four or five contractors you're managing separately.
Burlington's housing stock spans a wide range: mid-century bungalows and split-levels in established neighbourhoods like Brant Hills and Mountainside, larger executive homes in Alton Village and The Orchard, and everything in between. Whatever the home, the approach is the same. Visit the property before quoting anything, be straight about what's realistic, and see it through to the end. Permits run through the City of Burlington and we handle that process as part of every project.

What General Contracting Means for Burlington Homeowners
General contracting means managing the full build as one coordinated project. Carpentry and structural work handled by us directly, licensed subtrades for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC brought in and coordinated by us, permits managed through the City of Burlington, inspections scheduled and tracked. Here is what that scope covers on a typical Burlington project:
- Structural framing and carpentry
- Licensed electrical work and panel coordination
- Licensed plumbing rough-in and fixture installation
- HVAC coordination when required
- City of Burlington permit management and inspections
We're based in Hamilton and work regularly across Burlington. Burlington projects get the same attention as work closer to home, and we've built a track record across the region to back that up.
Home Renovations in Burlington
Kitchen renovations
Burlington kitchens range from compact bungalow galleys to large open-concept layouts in newer executive builds. We renovate both. Full gut renovations with structural changes, open-concept conversions, custom cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and all finish work through to lighting and hardware.
Bathroom renovations
Cosmetic refresh or full gut, we build bathroom renovations to hold up long-term. Custom tile, vanities, walk-in showers, and all the finish carpentry that makes the space feel complete. Licensed plumbers handle any plumbing relocation, built into our coordinated scope rather than a separate engagement.
Basement renovations
Finishing an unfinished basement adds usable square footage without touching the footprint of the house. Rec rooms, home offices, guest suites. We frame, insulate, drywall, floor, and finish it properly. Egress windows for bedrooms and bathroom rough-in when the project calls for it.
Open-concept conversions and living room expansions
Removing a wall between the kitchen and living room, opening up a main floor, or expanding into an adjacent space requires structural experience. We handle load-bearing wall removal, beam installation, and all the follow-up work to make the opening look like it was always there.
Staircases and interior carpentry
Custom staircase builds, railing systems, wainscotting, built-ins, and millwork. Interior carpentry is at the core of what we do, and it shows in the finish quality of every project we complete.

Adding Space to a Burlington Home
Second storey additions and lateral extensions are one of the most practical ways to add space to a Burlington home without moving. Burlington's older neighbourhoods have strong property values and plenty of homes where a well-built addition makes more sense than upsizing in the current market. Common approaches we take on in Burlington:
- Full second storey additions on bungalows
- Lateral extensions off the back or side
- Primary suite or family room expansions
- In-law suite additions with separate entrances
We coordinate the full scope from structural framing and foundation work through to insulation, drywall, windows, electrical, plumbing, and all finish work. Permits are handled through the City of Burlington, and we manage the process from application through to final inspection.

Secondary Suites in Burlington
Garage conversions, basement suites, and purpose-built additions are all practical solutions for Burlington homeowners looking to house aging parents or extended family, or to generate rental income on a property they own outright. We build fully self-contained in-law and granny suites with their own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom, coordinating all trades from framing through final finish.
Burlington permits secondary suites and additional residential units in many zones, but the process has specific requirements around entrance separation, egress, fire separation, and mechanical independence. We know what's required, handle the permitting through the City of Burlington, and build to the standard needed for legal occupancy rather than something that adds liability to the property.
Talk Through Suite Options
Deck Building in Burlington
Burlington backyards range from compact lots in older parts of the city to large suburban properties with room for multi-tiered builds. We design decks around what the property allows and what you actually want to do with the space, not a catalogue option dropped into your yard. What we build:
- Ground-level and elevated platform builds
- Multi-tiered decks where the lot allows
- Pressure treated and composite/PVC
- Custom railings in wood, aluminum, cable, or glass
- Stairs, built-in benches, and planters
Most Burlington decks require a permit through the City of Burlington. We handle the process as part of the project.
