With Catlin, you’re not just hiring a builder—you’re gaining a trusted partner who values your home as much as you do.

Whole home renovations

We approach whole home renovations as an opportunity to reimagine what’s possible transforming your existing space to better serve how you live today. Our team guides you through the process with care and clarity, blending functional design and elevated finishes to breathe new life into every corner of your home.

Custom home building

At Catlin, custom home building is where vision meets craftsmanship. We work closely with you to design and build a home that reflects your lifestyle, taste, and long-term goals. From thoughtful architecture to curated interior details, every element is planned with precision and built with pride because your home should feel as exceptional as it looks.

Home additions

Catlin additions are more than extra square footage they’re seamless extensions of your home’s story. Whether you need more room for a growing family or are simply ready to invest in your lifestyle, we design and build additions that blend beautifully with your home’s existing architecture while enhancing its value and comfort.

Our Approach

“We’re here to make the experience feel less like a process, and more like a partnership.”

— Jay Catlin

Luxury Villa

At Catlin, we believe your home should tell your story—crafted with care, intention, and a deep respect for how you want to live. That’s why we approach every project as a true partnership.

From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, we’re with you—listening closely, offering thoughtful guidance, and staying attuned to what matters most to you. No two projects are the same, and neither is the way we work with each client. We adapt, stay flexible, and bring clarity where it’s needed.

You’ll feel our presence in the small details, in the way we handle challenges, and in the pride we take in our craft. We’re here not just to build a house—but to help create a space that feels like home, every step of the way.

The Catlin Difference

With a family legacy in construction dating back to the 1970s, our story starts with Jay Catlin learning the trade firsthand from his father, John Catlin Sr. What began with window installations and aluminum work in the Hamilton and Ancaster area has grown into something much more. Jay went on to found Catlin Inc., expanding the family business into full-scale renovations and custom-built homes always with a focus on craftsmanship, integrity, and care.

Today, we’re proud to be a Burlington based design-build firm serving homeowners across the region. Our team shares a commitment to doing things right—from the smallest details to the biggest ideas.

At Catlin, we believe that building or renovating a home should be a clear, collaborative, and rewarding experience. That’s why we lead with transparency, communicate openly, and treat every project like it’s our own. Our clients trust us not just for the quality of our work, but for how we show up throughout the entire process.

Catlin

We’ve been honoured with multiple awards for service and craftsmanship, and we’re proud of the reputation we’ve built over more than 15 years. But what matters most to us is the trust our clients place in us—and the homes we help bring to life.

We look forward to building something meaningful with you.
