Toronto & GTA Clients
You're in Toronto. Your Dream Build is in Muskoka. We Handle Everything.
Lakeside Contracting works with GTA clients every day — managing the full build on the ground while you stay in the city.
The Challenge
Building Remotely is Hard. Until You Find the Right Contractor.
Most GTA clients building in Muskoka face the same problem. They find a contractor who seems great at the start — then the communication drops off. Updates stop coming. You're driving four hours on a Friday to check on your own build. You're chasing invoices and wondering if the work is actually getting done right. That's not how Lakeside works.

What Muskoka Homeowners Say About Lakeside Contracting
Lakeside contracting team did a fantastic job with constructing our cottage! Will be using Mitch and the lakeside contracting team for all my construction and renovation needs! Going forward I will highly recommend Lakeside to anyone! Thanks Lakeside for making our dreams come true!
From the start Mitch and his team were professional, on time, and stayed on budget, explaining the process and any unforeseen things as it progressed. Their attention to detail was evident in the final product. I am very happy with their work, highly recommend!
Mitch and his crew jumped in and helped us with our new build when we were left hanging by another company. Mitch went above and beyond to get a complex job done in some really terrible weather and connected us to other trades along the way. We would have been in a real bind without him!
Had the pleasure of working with Lakeside Contracting on a residential addition project. Communication was prompt and professional throughout, and the work was executed with real care and quality.
We recently had Mitch from Lakeside Contracting build our garage, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Mitch was professional, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the project.
