As the days grow longer and the promise of warmer weather beckons, it’s the perfect time to start envisioning your upcoming cottage getaway. Whether it’s loved ones gathered around the bonfire, the smell of pine in the air, or the sound of waves lapping at the shore, we know how important your cottage life is to you.

People frequently underestimate the time it takes in planning a renovation, and cottage projects are no different. There are designs to be created and refined, selections to be made, products to be ordered, and trades to be scheduled – not to mention the work to complete! So there is no better time to start than now!

To ensure your cottage days ahead are nothing short of spectacular, here are a few reasons why we encourage you to start your renovation planning:

• Avoid the Summer Rush: Summer is a peak season for cottage renovations, and renovation companies often get booked up quickly. By initiating the process now, you’ll secure your spot on our schedule and ensure your project is completed with the utmost care and attention to detail.
• Enjoy Your Space Sooner: Imagine stepping into a freshly renovated cottage, tailored to your preferences, while the weather is still warm. Depending on the scope of the project, starting now means you’ll have your dream space ready to welcome you, your family, and friends for a season filled with cherished memories.
• Address Items Promptly: Identifying and addressing renovation needs early allows you to tackle any potential issues before they become bigger problems. Because cottages can be left unattended over the winter months and they are often located in remote areas, the to-do list can seem overwhelming and never ending. Let our Home Care team help you with the ongoing maintenance and all other projects, big or small.

Since expanding and opening our 5th office in Brockville, we’ve been able to reach more home and cottage owners looking to transform their spaces. Whether your get-away is nestled along Big Rideau Lake, down on the St. Laurence, along the Mississippi or Ottawa Rivers, or somewhere in between, our team of cottage culture enthusiasts can upgrade your cherished space to the next level of calm and carefree living.
