Home renovation contractors in Simcoe County

Simcoe County stretches from Barrie and Innisfil up to Collingwood — commuter towns, cottage country and four real seasons of home maintenance.

Whether it's a kitchen, a bathroom, a finished basement or a whole-home renovation, one free quote request covers Barrie, Innisfil, Bradford West Gwillimbury, Collingwood, Orillia, Wasaga Beach, Midland, New Tecumseth, Owen Sound, Bracebridge and Huntsville and the smaller communities around them. Tell us about the project and we'll match it with contractors qualified for that type of work.

Renovating in Simcoe County, town by town

Barrie

Barrie has doubled and redoubled within living memory, so most of its housing is young — subdivision homes in Painswick, Holly, and the fast-building south end, put up quickly and now reaching the age where owners want them upgraded.

Innisfil

Innisfil grew out of Lake Simcoe cottage country, and it shows: plenty of homes here began as seasonal cottages and were winterized piece by piece over the decades.

Bradford West Gwillimbury

Bradford West Gwillimbury is one of Simcoe County's fastest-growing commuter towns, and most of its housing is new enough that renovation means improvement, not repair: finishing basements, replacing builder-standard kitchens, adding decks and landscaping to bare subdivision lots, and carving out home offices for the GO-train crowd.

Collingwood

Collingwood renovation work splits between two worlds: the historic brick homes on the streets near the harbour, and the chalets, condos, and recreation properties serving the ski hills.

Orillia

Orillia sits between two lakes, and its housing carries more history than most towns its size — solid early-1900s homes on the streets above the waterfront, wartime houses further out, and converted cottages along the Couchiching and Simcoe shorelines.

Wasaga Beach

Wasaga Beach built itself around summer, and much of its housing did too — cottages and compact bungalows gradually converted into year-round homes as the permanent population grew.

Midland

Midland's harbour-town roots left it with a compact core of older brick homes and workers' housing, ringed by mid-century streets and, further out, the cottage properties of southern Georgian Bay.

New Tecumseth

New Tecumseth is really three towns — Alliston, Beeton, and Tottenham — plus the countryside between them, and each one renovates differently.

Owen Sound

Owen Sound sits where the escarpment meets Georgian Bay, and its housing climbs the valley in layers — 19th-century brick near the harbour and downtown, wartime and post-war homes up the hillsides, and rural properties beyond.

Bracebridge

Bracebridge splits its renovation life between town and water.

Huntsville

Huntsville is Muskoka's largest town, and its renovation market stretches from early-1900s homes along the Muskoka River downtown to cottages ringing Fairy, Peninsula, Mary and Vernon lakes.

Building permits in Simcoe County

In Ontario, building permits are issued by the local municipality, not the region, so a basement apartment in one town can follow a different process from the same project a few kilometres away. Structural changes, additions, new or relocated plumbing, most basement finishing and second units usually need a permit under the Ontario Building Code; cosmetic work like painting, flooring or cabinet refacing usually doesn't.

Start with the building department for your municipality: Barrie, Innisfil, Bradford West Gwillimbury, Collingwood, Orillia, Wasaga Beach, Midland, New Tecumseth, Owen Sound, Bracebridge or Huntsville. Every quote we send flags whether drawings and a permit application are likely to be part of the job.
