Major Renovation with Excellent Co-ordination with Trades

July 28, 2023

We added a 1400 sq ft addition to the cottage and rebuilt the original 768 sq ft cottage to become an open concept great room, eat-in area and kitchen. They added 3 new bathrooms, 3 bedrooms , game room and den. Cam’s crew showed up everyday at 7 am and worked until 3:30-4 pm …. Fridays they would leave by 2 pm. Their work ethic was incredible. Cam handled the co-ordination of trades, all billing would then go from the trade to Cam where he would apply a tithe for his business. It was a time and material arrangement so no fixed contract, you pay up at the end of every week. We paid top dollar for the trades but that kept us first in line for getting the work done. Email me if you’d like more info (R.Bruce.Thompson@outlook.com)

Great Job and Hard-working, Friendly Crew

December 6, 2022

Hired Matt’s company for the first time to trench our new electrical service and also replace our old 80′ 3rd septic pipe from the cottage to the septic tank. It involved crossing our driveway through a concrete tunnel to protect the PVC pipe. Matt showed up exactly when he said he would, then his crew also showed up the morning they were supposed to and worked non-stop until they finished. Great job and hard-working, friendly crew. We highly recommend Matt and his company. I would be happy to provide more information: gneal053@gmail.com

Very Satisfied from Start to Finish

From the first contact to completion we were very satisfied with what Thomas Gray did. He communicated regularly, told us what to expect and delivered as promised. His quote was accurate and the work was done when promised and completed on time. There were no surprises. The septic tank and bed are working as expected.

Meticulous, Reasonable & On-time

October 17, 2022

I had Rick come over to put in an eavestrough and gutter guards. He was one of the best contractors I have ever had. Very meticulous, reasonable and came when he said he would.

Dick Thomas

Worth the Wait

October 17, 2022

Rick couldn’t come for a few weeks but it was worth the wait. He came on the agreed date and was done quickly – I did help him out by removing the old eavestrough. Gutter guard was installed on one section and appears to be working well. Highly recommended.

I have used their service to remove about 100 limbs high up trees near our cottage roof . They came on a Saturday morning that included heavy rain all morning . Despite the weather they climbed up the trees and safely removed and lowered the branches to the ground . His crew are a very youthful and fit group of fellows . I have recommended to other Loon and Turtle cottagers for much larger jobs with great results . Contact me if you’d like more information: salestech@rogers.com

August 12, 2021

Glenn was recommended by a fellow cottager! Glenn is on time knows his stuff and will not recommend aimless work to make money.

We called on Glenn based on a recommendation. The first job was to help install some faucets and help with a dripping shower. We then had him out to install a filter system. Both times Glenn was on-time, friendly and got the job done. Reasonable rates. Recommended. For more info on this review, contact garyalyon@gmail.com

Another year, another great job

June 13, 2021

Kahshe Boat Works has been taking car of our 30-year old Larson for the last few years. They pick it up at the dock in October and put it back in the water in the spring. When we arrived last weekend it was in the water at our dock. Perfectly clean, engine strong and runs as good as new and everything works including the gauges. Before Kahshe, we were going to get rid of the boat, but apparently there are a few good years left in it!
