01 · ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Muskoka Timberworx completed this new custom cottage build from structural framing through to complete exterior siding and finishes. We managed every stage of construction on this lakeside property, beginning with subfloor framing, wall construction, crane-assisted truss setting, and roof sheathing. The build was enclosed with high-performance weather barrier and finished with durable horizontal wood-tone siding, bold black modern gables, energy-efficient black-framed windows, and integrated decking. Our team took pride in delivering precision carpentry and dependable craftsmanship from the ground up.
