The water, weather, rock, remote locations and limited access demand more than good construction. They demand experience.
For more than 30 years, Extreme Custom Carpentry has been building and renovating homes and cottages throughout the Parry Sound and Georgian Bay region — year-round homes and renovations on the mainland as much as cottages on the islands. We understand the challenges that come with building here — and how to plan for them from the very beginning.
From selecting materials that can withstand the elements to coordinating the transportation of everything your project needs, we bring the knowledge, craftsmanship and local experience required to build with confidence.
Built on experience
Every home is different. Whether it's a year-round house on the mainland or a cottage on the water, we work with you to bring your ideas to life through thoughtful planning, quality craftsmanship and careful attention to every detail — from the first foundation to the final finish.

Remote properties, islands and limited road access require careful planning and reliable transportation. With our own barge capabilities, we move the materials, equipment and supplies your project needs — without leaving you to coordinate another company for every delivery.

A cottage on Georgian Bay has to withstand more than four seasons. Wind, water, freeze-thaw cycles, exposure, moisture and remote locations all place demands on a building that simply aren't found in a typical residential project.
After more than three decades working in the region, we know what works. We understand the importance of choosing the right materials, building methods and products for the environment — and planning for the conditions your cottage will face for years to come.

From first footing to final detail
Building a custom cottage involves hundreds of decisions, trades, deliveries and moving parts. We take care of the construction process from the ground up, coordinating the work required to turn your plans into a finished home.
Whether your property is easily accessible by road or located on a remote Georgian Bay island, we understand how to plan the build around the realities of the site.
You bring the vision. We bring the experience to build it.
Our full-service approach
In-house barge capability
Remote construction requires more than a truck and trailer. Materials, equipment and supplies need to get from the mainland to the job site safely and efficiently.
Our barge capabilities allow us to handle much of that transportation ourselves, giving us greater control over the construction process and helping keep your project moving. From lumber and building materials to equipment and site supplies, we can get what your project needs where it needs to go.
Island & remote buildingExperience has taught us something you can't get from a blueprint: how to build for this place. We know the region. We know the environment. We know the challenges of working on the water, on islands and in remote locations — and that the best results come from doing the right things before construction even begins.
