Off-Season Renovations for Coboconk Cottages

Nobody wants a torn-out bathroom at the cottage in July. Renovation work fits best in the quieter months after closing or before opening, when you're back in the city. We give you a written estimate covering each phase, the materials and the timeline, then daily progress updates so you know where things stand without making the drive. An empty cottage also means the work area can stay set up overnight without getting in anyone's way.

Cottage bathrooms take a beating from damp. Subfloor around the toilet and tub can go soft, and an exhaust fan that dumps air into the attic leaves moisture where it does damage. A renovation is the time to put those right. We check the subfloor and framing once the old fixtures are out, before anything new goes in. Budget $5,000 to $15,000 for a bathroom, and the scope decides where it lands. A gut-and-rebuild is one to two weeks of work.

Kitchens often just need updating. A refresh that keeps the layout is the cheaper route, around $5,000 to $12,000 for updated counters, cabinet painting, backsplash tile and fixtures, while a full kitchen renovation that moves things around starts near $15,000. If you're thinking of using the cottage through more of the year, raise it early, since it affects choices like insulation in any walls we open up.
