About M Hawley Contracting

Kingston renovations, built around how you live.

Matt Hawley founded the company after working on Kingston renovation crews. The premise was simple: keep the company small enough that the owner could be on every job, hire the trades that do their work right, and treat clients' homes like the places people actually live in while we work on them.

That's still how it works. One project lead. One crew. One owner you can call.

Read our story
How we work

A clear process, from the first phone call.

01

Site visit

We come to your house, walk the project, and listen. No high-pressure sales pitch.

02

Scope & estimate

Honest numbers, with what's included and what isn't spelled out.

03

Drawings & permits

We coordinate with designers, engineers and the City. You don't chase paperwork.

04

Build

Same crew on site every day. Dust contained, paths protected, daily cleanup.

In their words
Matt and his crew were in our house for four months and we never once felt like we couldn't be home. The dust barriers were unreal.

Why clients come back

Four things we don't compromise on.

You meet the owner

Matt runs the job. Not a project manager you've never seen before. The same person who quoted is on site.

Trades who stay

Long-tenured crew. The framer, the electrician, the tilesetter — same faces, week after week.

Honest numbers

We tell you what something costs and what could change it — before you sign, not after.

A liveable job site

Floor-to-ceiling dust barriers around the work zone, floor protection on every path, HEPA-filtered air scrubbers when sanding or cutting, daily cleanup before we leave.
