What We OfferCottage Expertise
From weatherproofing exteriors to full four-season conversions, we bring the same craftsmanship to cottage country that we bring to every home we touch.

Year-round comfort
Spray foam insulation, triple-pane windows, vapour barriers, and heating, everything you need to turn a summer cottage into a year-round home.

Cottage living, elevated
Open-concept layouts, custom kitchens, bathrooms, and millwork, with the same craftsmanship we bring to full home renovations.

Yes. Reno Raptors renovates cottages throughout Muskoka and Simcoe County. Travel is included in every project quote, no surprise fees.
Waterfront projects require approval from your local conservation authority (LSRCA, NVCA, Trent, or similar) plus a municipal building permit. Shoreline setback rules, height limits, and DFO fisheries requirements also apply. Reno Raptors manages every application and approval so you never have to navigate this alone.
Absolutely. A four-season conversion involves spray foam or rigid insulation in walls and ceilings, triple-pane or high-performance windows, a proper vapour barrier, and a reliable heating system (propane, electric, or a heat pump). We assess your cottage and design the most cost-effective solution for year-round comfort.
Late September through May is ideal, after your cottage season wraps and well before the next one begins. We plan carefully so your project is finished before the May long weekend, meaning you never sacrifice prime cottage time to a renovation crew.
Yes. We build fixed docks, floating docks, and full boathouse structures using pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or aluminium framing. All dock and boathouse work is designed to meet DFO fisheries regulations and conservation authority approvals for your specific lake.
Exterior work including siding, roofing, and deck replacement typically runs $30,000 to $80,000. A four-season conversion with insulation, windows, and heating runs $60,000 to $120,000. Full interior gut renovations or additions range from $150,000 to $400,000 or more depending on size and finishes. We provide detailed, transparent quotes before any work begins.
Homeowners AskWhat to Know About Cottage Renovations
Yes. Reno Raptors travels throughout Muskoka, Simcoe County, the Kawarthas, Georgian Bay, and the Haliburton Highlands. There are no additional travel fees for projects in these regions — we include travel in every quote upfront.
Not at all. We handle key handoffs, daily progress photos, and site supervision so you can stay home. Many of our cottage clients never visit during the build — they simply arrive to a finished property.
Yes. Reno Raptors offers a full design-build service — from concept drawings and material selections through to the finished build. This is especially valuable for remote properties where coordinating separate designers and contractors is impractical.
A three-season cottage is typically uninsulated and relies on the warmer months. A four-season conversion adds spray foam or rigid insulation, double-pane or triple-pane windows, proper vapour barriers, and a reliable heating system — making the cottage comfortable year-round.
Waterfront projects typically require approval from the local conservation authority (e.g., LSRCA, NVCA, or Trent Conservation) in addition to a municipal building permit. Setback rules from the high-water mark and shoreline alteration rules apply. Reno Raptors navigates the full approval process for you.
