Who We Are

Redefining renovations in Hamilton’s century homes with style, skill, and heart.

dollHOUSE Design + Build is a female owned & operated renovation, design and interior decorating team, specializing in Century Homes in Hamilton, Ontario.

dollHOUSE Collective Inc. is on a mission to change the face of the Hamilton renovation industry: Our team of primarily female team members bring a combination of 80+ years of experience with everything from kitchen installations, attics, bathrooms, basements and everything in between. 

At the helm of dollHOUSE, Jess Deyong brings ten years of design experience to the Team. She has guided the crew through 80+ renovations since April 2020. Juxtaposing old and new, Jess aims to create vibrant, functional and stylish living spaces that work for each and every client, keeping budget, timeliness and style in mind. 

Jess is the founder of Facebook groups “So, You’re Thinking about Moving to Hamilton!” and the “HamOnt Home Improvement Community” and is extremely passionate about restoring Hamilton century homes while balancing charm and character with modern updates. She has been interviewed by the CBC, the She Wears Work Boots podcast, and led design workshops focusing on design, kitchens, bathrooms and renovation planning.

dollHOUSE operates with the right team on the right projects: we have structural framers, a skilled kitchen expert duo, red seal carpenters, plumbers, electricians, masonry specialists, and so much more. With a breadth of experience and skills to pull from, we can ensure that every job is treated with the respect and care it deserves. We are construction nerds through and through: nobody gets excited about the bones of your house as much as we do! 

We are building a team of tradespeople that are all committed to the dollHOUSE philosophy. Not all of us are women, but all of us are allies of women in trades. We celebrate inclusivity and diversity - both personally and professionally, and are on a constant quest to Do Better.

We sincerely look forward to being part of your home’s story!
