Butterwick Building Company Ltd has been building custom homes, cottages, and boathouses in Muskoka since 2000. Founded by Dean Butterwick and headquartered at 1000 Manitoba St in Bracebridge, the company handles projects across the lake-country corridor from Gravenhurst north through Port Carling and Huntsville. The phone number is 705-646-9641 and the company website is butterwickbuilding.ca.
Services
The firm’s work spans ground-up custom home construction, cottage building, boathouse construction, whole-home renovation, and passive home builds. Construction management services are also available for clients who want a single point of contact across subtrades. Projects range from lakefront cottage additions to multi-season custom builds designed to Muskoka’s specific climate requirements.
Clients describe a consistent job-site discipline: equipment and materials packed up neatly at the end of each working day, phone calls returned promptly, and no surprises on timelines. One homeowner reported that “every visitor is wowed at the craftsmanship and detail both inside and out.” Another, whose cottage renovation included a substantial addition, noted that Dean and his crew “seamlessly got the work done in an efficient and prompt manner” with communications that were “straightforward and transparent from start to finish.”
