Church buildings serve congregations for generations, and over time every facility needs updating. Whether your sanctuary needs modernising, your building lacks accessibility, or your fellowship and education spaces no longer meet your ministry needs, a thoughtful renovation can renew your facility for the years ahead.

Renovations That Serve Ministry

We approach every church renovation with a simple question: how can this work best serve your congregation’s ministry? A kitchen upgrade supports fellowship. Accessible entrances welcome everyone. Updated classrooms strengthen education programs. Every renovation decision connects back to the ministry your building supports.

Working While Worship Continues

One of the most common concerns we hear from church leadership is disruption. Your congregation needs to continue worshipping, gathering, and serving throughout the renovation. We plan construction phases and schedules carefully to minimise noise, dust, and access disruptions during services and programs. This requires experience and practical planning — and it is something we have done successfully on hundreds of church projects.

Common Church Renovations

Our church renovation work includes sanctuary updates, platform and sound system modifications, fellowship hall improvements, commercial kitchen upgrades, classroom and nursery renovations, office reconfigurations, accessible entrances and washrooms, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, roofing, and exterior envelope repairs.

Phasing and Budget

Many congregations cannot undertake all their renovation needs at once, and that is perfectly reasonable. We help your building committee prioritise renovation work based on urgency, impact, and available funds. Safety and building envelope issues come first, followed by accessibility, then ministry enhancement projects. This phased approach allows your congregation to make steady progress while managing costs responsibly.

We provide open-book budgeting on renovation projects so your committee sees actual costs and can make informed decisions as work progresses.

Since 1967

Three Generations of Church Construction

Our church construction experience traces back to 1967, when Don Hawkey — Adam Mighton’s maternal grandfather — founded Don Hawkey Construction. That legacy continued through Hawkey Church Management and through Jeff Mighton’s decades of church construction experience. Today, Mighton Construction carries that family legacy forward with more than 400 church projects completed across Ontario.

  • Pentecostal, United, Presbyterian, Catholic, Brethren in Christ, Missionary, and other congregations served
  • Construction management with open-book budgeting — every dollar accounted for
  • Phasing planned around worship, so ministry continues through construction
  • Comfortable working with pastors, elders, trustees, boards, and building committees

Common questions from building committees

Frequently Asked Questions

Can renovations happen while we continue to hold services?
Yes. We have extensive experience renovating churches while worship and programs continue. We plan construction phases and schedules to minimise noise and disruption during services and key events.
What kinds of church renovations do you handle?
We handle sanctuary renovations, accessibility upgrades (ramps, lifts, washrooms), fellowship hall improvements, kitchen upgrades, classroom renovations, office updates, mechanical and electrical upgrades, roofing, and exterior restoration.
Our church building is older. Can you work with heritage structures?
Yes. We have experience working with older church buildings, including those with heritage considerations. We understand the care required to renovate these structures while respecting their character and meeting current building code requirements.
How do we prioritise when we cannot afford everything at once?
We help your committee identify which renovations are most urgent (safety, accessibility, building envelope) and which can be phased over time. This practical prioritisation helps your congregation invest wisely and plan future phases.
Do you handle accessibility upgrades for churches?
Yes. Accessibility is one of the most common renovation needs we address. This includes barrier-free entrances, ramps, platform lifts, accessible washrooms, and other modifications to welcome all members of your congregation.
