Who we are

A family business since 1991

Country Estates Construction was founded in 1991 by Henry, and the company has grown with the work of his sons, Michael, Andrew, and Matthew,. We are rooted in Hamilton, Halton, Guelph and the communities around them, and we take on everything from small residential jobs to large commercial projects.

Septic systems are our specialty and what set us apart. Around them we built the rest: concrete finishing, excavation, demolition and our own trucking, so one company can take a site from an old house to a new foundation.

Start to finish

From Demolition To Backfilling Your New Foundation

We take the old house down, supply the bins, dig for your new foundation and haul the dirt away with our own trucks, then come back to backfill and grade the site once the foundation is in.

Reviews

What our customers say

Don't let Mike or Andrews age fool you, these guys appear to have been doing this since they got out of diapers! Extremely knowledgeable and patient, explaining every step along the way.

They were professional and polite the whole time they were on the property and made sure we were satisfied completely at the conclusion of the job. My wife was particularly impressed with how they cleaned up and made the jobsite safe at the end of each day. We will definitely have this team back for any future work.

Matt & Judy T.Homeowners

Country Estates is an amazing company. Our company built a 5000 square ft custom home and used them to provide demolition of existing residence, cistern and septic installation, basement and garage concrete floors, large concrete modern walk way, in-ground pool and concrete patio surround. They also did our drainage and grading.

Their communication, detailed quote and follow-up was very professional throughout the year long build. They have been the most professional and reliable sub-contractor that we have used in our 15 years in business. We highly recommend Country Estates Construction and will use them in the future for multiple residential development projects.
