We have been proudly serving clients from Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph to the Ottawa Valley since 1996. Family owned and operated, we have built a reputation for treating your project like it’s our own.

MEET THE OWNER EXPERT TEAM
Our motto has always been that what’s behind the walls matters as much as what’s in front. We don’t cut corners, we’re not in a race, and we are extremely picky in our process.
Allen Harris
I’m Al, owner of Harris Construction. You’ve come here to learn a little bit about me, so here’s the gist:
I was born, fed and raised in Kitchener, ON where I attended Conestoga College and graduated with a diploma in Construction Engineering Technology in 1994. From there, I started this business in ’96 and went on to get married in ’01 and have two sons, Dylan and Brock. I’ve been around the block and back, and bring that experience to every project I work on.
I get my construction and building sense from my grandfather, Roy. You could say I followed in his “footsteps”, and I’ve been trying to fill them ever since.
I’m a “hands-on, get it done, straight-shooter” kind of guy, and run my business the same way. I set high standards for myself and my clients, and expect the same value in return.
Whatever your construction project may be, I’m here to get the job done.

In 2020 we picked Allen to complete an extensive renovation of a large kitchen, as well as large adjacent area, including a sun room, laundry area, entrance foyer and powder room. This required improvement of the subfloor throughout to install new ceramic tile flooring, and new cabinetry throughout. The demolition and construction process was well organized and tidy, and Allen had practical suggestions for improvements from start to finish. Coordination with sub trades and suppliers was problem free. We are delighted with the result, and we would happily recommend Allen to others!"
