Cottage and home renovations in Bobcaygeon

Bobcaygeon sits on the Trent–Severn Waterway, surrounded by lakes and cottages. Many owners here have an older cottage in a perfect spot and want to keep it, but live in it more: through the winter, with family visiting, or full time in retirement.

Turning a cottage into a year-round home means better insulation and windows, a reliable heating system, protected water lines and often an updated foundation. We plan all of it together.

  • 01 / COTTAGE TO HOME

    Four-season comfort on the water.

  • 02 / BEDROOMS AND BATHS

    Room for family and guests.

  • 03 / WEATHER-READY

    Insulation, windows and heating.

  • 04 / CITY PERMITS

    Applications to the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Renovating near the water in Bobcaygeon

Permits come from the City of Kawartha Lakes. Waterfront lots may also involve conservation or Parks Canada reviews, especially for work near the shore. Septic systems at older cottages often need checking when bedrooms are added.

Keeping the cottage feeling

Owners turning a Bobcaygeon cottage into a home usually want it to stay a cottage at heart. We keep the pine, the porch and the view, and make the changes that matter for year-round life where they will be noticed least: in the walls, the floors, the mechanical room and the foundation.
