Serving Paris, Ontario
HandKind is based right here in Paris — kitchens, bathrooms, garages and additions for Paris homeowners, from heritage builds to newer construction.
Local to Paris
HandKind Construction's office is at 20 Balmoral St in Paris — this is where we're based, and it's reflected in how much of our project history is right here in town. Paris has a lot of heritage-era housing stock, which means tighter bathroom and kitchen footprints, original cast-iron drain stacks that need adapters, and occasional knob-and-tube wiring to work around. Properties further from the town core sometimes run on well-and-septic rather than a municipal connection, which changes how we plan plumbing for a basement or addition. We look at what's actually there before we write a scope.

Paris falls under the County of Brant's building department rather than the City of Brantford's. Detached garages, additions, structural work and secondary suites generally require a permit — we submit the application, manage inspections, and factor approval timelines into the schedule from the start.
