From The Ground Up Construction — Custom Homes, Cottages & Boathouses in Bala, Muskoka, ON

From The Ground Up Construction was founded in 1999 by owner-operator Joshua Wassenaar in Bala, at the heart of the Township of Muskoka Lakes. Joshua learned carpentry from his father before starting the firm, and craftsmanship-first residential work has anchored the business since. This rewrite also corrects an import-time gravenhurst tag — the business is Bala / Muskoka Lakes, not Gravenhurst.

Services

Custom Muskoka homes — full design-through-finish custom residential builds.

Cottages — waterfront cottage construction tailored to Muskoka lot constraints.

Boathouses — traditional Muskoka boathouse builds and renovations.

Decks and docks — cottage outdoor-living and waterfront carpentry.

Service area

Bala, Port Carling, Torrance, MacTier, and the broader Township of Muskoka Lakes, with project reach across Muskoka and into northern Simcoe on select builds.

Why it is on home.renovation.reviews

Bala is a different operating environment from Gravenhurst. The Muskoka Lakes township covers the core Lake Muskoka, Lake Joseph, and Lake Rosseau shorelines where cottage and boathouse work is seasonally paced and bedrock-dictated. A separate Bala anchor fills a real gap in the directory’s Muskoka coverage, and Ground Up’s 25+ year single-owner continuity is a useful trust signal for long-timeline custom projects.
