DeCarli Contractors is a custom home and cottage builder serving Penetanguishene and the South Georgian Bay region. We build new waterfront and inland cottages, take on whole-cottage renovations and major additions, and manage every stage of the project ourselves, from initial planning through to the day we hand over the keys.
Our work is built around a few things clients consistently point to: a high build and energy standard on every project, a detailed estimate before construction starts so there are no surprises partway through, and a finish date we commit to and keep. That reliability is one of the main reasons repeat clients and referrals make up a large share of our business in Penetanguishene and across South Georgian Bay.
Custom homes and cottages are our core business and where we do our strongest work, but we also take on major additions, whole-home renovations, and interior finishing for owners upgrading an existing Penetanguishene property rather than starting from scratch.
SCALE
5000 S.FT
SCOPE
Entire heritage cottage renovation from the studs up including landscaping, outbuildings, smart-home automation and premium finishings
We design and build custom homes, cottages, and renovations throughout South Georgian Bay and North Simcoe, including:
Building or renovating a cottage is a considered investment, usually the largest project a client will take on, and the process should feel that way from the first conversation. We start with a real estimate based on the specifics of the lot and the design, not a placeholder figure, and we manage the full scope of the project ourselves: design, permitting, landscaping, and construction, all under one fixed-price quotation. That means one point of contact and one schedule, rather than an owner coordinating separate trades and separate approvals on their own.
Penetanguishene properties, particularly those on or near the water, do come with their own permitting and shoreline setback requirements under the town's zoning by-law. We handle that process directly as part of every project, confirming what a specific lot allows before finalizing a design, so it becomes a normal step in the schedule rather than a delay discovered partway through construction.
We also regularly take on renovations of older Penetanguishene cottages built for seasonal use, upgrading foundations, insulation, and mechanicals so the property works as a year-round home, alongside whatever layout or finish changes the client wants.
Whether you're at the early idea stage or you already have plans in hand, we'd be glad to talk through your project.
