Who We Are
Ernest Contracting is a general contractor working across Brant County on demolition, hardscaping, and home renovation projects.
We take on the jobs most contractors either overbook or undersell: gut-job kitchens, retaining walls on sloped rural lots, full garage teardowns, bathroom rebuilds in century homes, and the whole-home renovations that touch every system in the house.
Brant County is not one type of property. Paris has tight heritage lots with original brick and plaster. Brantford runs from mid-century neighbourhoods to newer subdivisions.
Burford, St. George, and Mount Pleasant bring larger rural properties with their own demands, from grading and drainage to outbuilding demo. We scope each project against what the property actually needs, not a template.
Licensed, insured, and built to finish what we start.

Demolition in Brant County
Brant County properties come in all shapes and sizes, from tight heritage lots in Paris where access matters, to rural acreage outside Burford with old barns, silos, and outbuildings that need to come down.
We handle the full scope of demolition services: site protection, controlled teardown, debris hauling, and grading the site back to usable condition. For interior demo, we work clean around the rest of the house, protecting floors and finishes that are staying.
Common demolition projects:
- Barn, silo, and outbuilding removal on rural properties
- Garage and shed teardowns
- Interior gut jobs for kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations
- Load-bearing wall removal with proper structural support
- Concrete pad, deck, and fence removal
Hardscaping in Brant County
Hardscaping in Brant County has to account for real ground conditions. Paris sits on clay. Rural properties around Glen Morris and Scotland deal with slope, drainage, and frost heave.
Hardscaping that ignores those factors shifts within a season. We start every hardscaping project with proper base prep, drainage planning, and material selection that fits the site.
Common hardscaping projects:
- Interlocking and natural stone patio hardscaping
- Retaining wall hardscaping on sloped or rural lots
- Driveway, walkway, and garden path hardscaping
- Fire pit and outdoor living hardscaping
- Step, landing, and grade transition hardscaping
Home Renovations in Brant County
Home renovations in Brant County cover a wide range of housing stock. Paris has century brick homes where renovations involve original plaster, stone foundations, and layouts never designed for modern kitchens or bathrooms.
Brantford home renovations run across postwar bungalows, mid-century splits, and newer builds. Rural home renovations outside Burford and Mount Pleasant often require full system updates alongside the cosmetic work. We scope every renovation against the actual house.
Kitchen Remodelling
- Layout redesigns and load-bearing modifications
- Custom and semi-custom cabinetry
- Countertops, backsplashes, and islands
- Plumbing and electrical updates to current code
- Flooring, lighting, and finish work
Bathroom Upgrades
- Tub-to-shower conversions and full bathroom rebuilds
- Tile work with proper waterproofing
- Vanities, fixtures, and ventilation
