About Ducon

Blue and white building with a metal roof and two cupolas in front of a partly cloudy sky, surrounded by greenery and bushes, with a blue sign reading 'ducon'.

Ducon was founded in 1977 as a general contractor serving commercial, industrial and institutional clients across the Bay of Quinte region. When those clients began asking for help with their own homes, we added a Residential Division in 2009. Today, the second and third generations of the Wikkerink family lead the company. Over 50 years, the Ducon standard for quality craftsmanship hasn't changed.

Every Ducon project is a partnership. We work directly with you, or alongside your architect and engineers, and give your project our full attention from the first site visit to the final detail. Whether we're creating or adapting a home to suit the way you live, or delivering a facility shaped around your operations, our approach is the same. Trust, communication, and transparency come first in everything we do.

Team strength

Our strength comes from the people on our team. Many have been with Ducon for years — some for decades — because the culture is healthy, the work is real, and leadership takes care of its people. That continuity reflects a culture that values craft, respects the trade, and maintains standards that attract and keep the right people.

One of our key distinctions is our in-house millwork capability. Where many contractors outsource finish work, we build to the same high standards as everything else we do. Our cabinet makers and finish carpenters bring a level of skill and attention you feel when you open a drawer, run your hand along a built-in, or stand in a kitchen designed and built as one cohesive piece.

"Ducon fully realized my vision for a large home in Prince Edward County. The work involved the almost complete demolition of our original house and the building of a large addition which is comprised of two new bedrooms and a bathroom. The entire project was handled with the highest degree of professionalism, from the initial visit to the house, to the design of the new floor plan and kitchen, and to the construction itself which was carried out under the supervision of our excellent Project Manager. Along the way Ducon was always available to answer questions as they arose and the project was completed on time and to the highest of standards. We could not be more happy with our new home. "
A.B.
"We found working with everyone at Ducon to be a real pleasure. We felt the quality of work, of meeting deadlines, of craftsmanship and of interpersonal exchange, to be really outstanding. The high standards set by the company, coupled with their ability to be very clear and firm in meeting the expectations of the customer, combined to make a truly positive experience. We chose to live out of our house for two months while the renovation was going on: all deadlines were met, and we were back in our transformed house right on time. At that moment, I understood what the Project Manager meant when he had said that they were helping us to build our “dream home”. It is - so thank you all. "
M.C.S.
"Ducon renovated our kitchen, and we cannot be more happy with the final result! Our kitchen had a lot of windows with a difficult layout. They took the time and worked with us to develop a design that allowed for more cupboard and counter space without sacrificing any natural light. We now have a kitchen we will be hosting family dinners in for many years to come! We cannot speak more highly of the professionalism and attention to detail we received and would not hesitate to recommend Ducon in the future. "
