Cottage-style garden suites in Port Perry

Port Perry's older streets are full of century homes with deep gardens, porches and mature trees. A backyard suite here works best when it borrows that character: cedar shingles or clapboard, a small porch and windows that look onto the garden.

Close to the water, some lots also sit in areas regulated for flooding along Lake Scugog. We confirm whether that applies before choosing where the suite goes.

Building in town

In-town Port Perry lots can be tight for equipment and deliveries. We plan access through the side yard and protect lawns, gardens and neighbours' fences during the work.

Seasons in a lake town

Port Perry changes with the seasons, with busy summer weekends by the water and quiet winter streets. A guest suite should suit both. In summer, a screened porch or shaded patio makes it a natural place to gather. In winter, good insulation, a reliable heat source and a cleared path keep it ready for family who come for the holidays or stay through the colder months.

After receiving a few quotes from different contractors to do a full renovation of our kitchen and dining room, we chose Henley because of how comfortable Nick and his team made us feel right from the first conversation.

From start to finish it took just over three weeks for the team to demolish our ugly, dated, and dark kitchen, and fully rebuild a stunning bright and light new space, designed with style and functionality in mind.

The Henley team was very responsive (shout out to Tom and Michelle), and kept us fully informed throughout the project with the Buildertrend app. They uploaded photos and notes to the app daily, so we always knew where the project was at and how things were progressing. We loved the transparency of this, especially not being at home through the reno.

Thank you Henley Contracting for completely transforming our space.
We are so happy with the final results!
