What We OfferFor a cottage or a year-round house in Muskoka, a full renovation can mean reworking the layout, adding a second storey, replacing floors throughout or making a three-season place livable in winter. One team covers design, project management and the trades.
Top to bottom
Every trade and every detail runs through us. On one timeline, one team renovates the entire house, foundation to roof, and you talk to one point of contact.
Walls come down
We take out walls and add beams so the living space on your main floor opens up and flows. The structural engineering, permits and build are ours.
Expand upward
Need more space? We add second stories, dormers, and additions. Full architectural plans, permits, and construction, all managed in-house.
Bundle & save
Renovating multiple spaces? We coordinate kitchen and bathroom renovations together for better pricing, faster timelines, and finishes that match.
Unified foundation
We install hardwood, engineered, LVP or tile the same way in every room. Thresholds match, transitions are handled, and the house looks like one piece.
Every detail
Every surface gets a refresh, including trim, doors, hardware, paint and lighting, so your renovated rooms match the house around them.

Contact us to check availability →FAQIn Muskoka, the first thing we ask is whether you'll use the house in winter. If it's a three-season cottage and the answer is yes, the winterizing comes ahead of any finish, and we quote it as its own section so you can see what year-round use adds. Kitchens, baths, floors and layout changes are itemized after that.
Once work starts, 8 to 16 weeks is typical. A property on a private road or reached only by water takes longer to supply and staff, because lumber, windows, the bin and the crew all have to be planned around the access, and that planning goes into the schedule before work begins.
Expect one, issued by the town or township the property is in. If the work ties the house into municipal water or sewer, the District also requires a connection permit before that part starts. On a waterfront lot, the Muskoka Official Plan treats an addition or reconstruction as redevelopment, so its shoreline policies apply, including the 20 metre minimum setback. We manage the permits and inspections and check the setback early.
Judge them on how they run a job you can't watch, because many Muskoka owners aren't on site during the work: about 47% of homes here are used seasonally, the District's 2023 Second Home Study found. Ask who your single contact will be and how extra work gets approved from a distance. Our answer is one project manager per job, and photos with a price before any extra work goes ahead. Reno Raptors is licensed, insured and WSIB-covered, and we don't juggle three projects at once.

Whatever the cottage needs: a new layout, open-concept space, a second storey addition, floors throughout, kitchens and bathrooms. All of it is drawn in 3D renders and priced line by line before work starts, so you see the finished cottage first.
People also ask
The work that comes before the finishes: insulating walls, floors and ceilings, putting in heat, and protecting the water lines from freezing. The new rooms then go into a building made for year-round use.
People also ask
At least 20 metres back, under the Muskoka Official Plan, unless the Plan sets a greater setback for that shoreline. The Plan counts an addition as redevelopment, so the rule applies to it as it would to a new build; shoreline structures, open decks and minor accessory structures are excluded.
People also ask
Around the days the owner can be reached or visit. Consultations, selections, sign-offs and the final walkthrough are booked for those days, and the project manager's daily updates cover the weeks in between.
People also ask
Yes, a connection permit from the District of Muskoka, issued before any connection work starts. It's separate from the building permit, which comes from the town or township, so when a renovation ties the house onto municipal water or sewer, we apply for both.
People also ask
The shoreline buffer. For redevelopment, which includes additions and reconstruction, the Muskoka Official Plan asks for 75% of the frontage to stay natural to a depth of 15 metres where feasible, with a net improvement where that can't be met. Staging, access and any clearing near the water are planned around it.

Good to KnowConverting a three-season cottage for year-round use puts a lot of work ahead of the finishes. Walls, floors and ceilings get insulated where needed, a heating system goes in, and water lines are moved or protected so nothing freezes while the place is empty. The District's 2023 Second Home Study puts the winterized share of Muskoka second homes at 52%, so close to half still aren't.
Max, the owner, leads the work with his father, Roman, and on a Muskoka job your day-to-day contact is a single project manager from our Barrie headquarters. The first visit is at the property, where we measure, see how the site is reached and talk through the budget. At the end we walk through every room with you, then check in again 30 days later. Gayle Martin's review names Roman and Maks as the father and son who did the work and tells them, "We have more work to do." Across the company, 60% of clients come back for another job.
