Custom Home Builders in Minden, ON

Minden is a community within the Township of Minden Hills, in Haliburton County, and nearly every one of the custom home builders on this page builds with the water in mind. Cottages and waterfront homes come up for most of the builders listed here, and they are spread across Minden, Haliburton, Wilberforce and the Dysart area. Their own service areas name Haliburton and Haliburton County most often, with Bancroft and Wilberforce also named.

Country Contracting and Construction is the Minden-based firm on the page. It was founded by Brett Hicks, a Haliburton native, and serves Haliburton County, Minden, Dorset and Carnarvon. Beyond custom homes it does steel roofing, siding, decks, lot clearing, excavating, demolition and septic installation, so one company covers site work and building. It holds 4.8 from 20 reviews.

Log and timber work is a real part of the trade here. Highland Creek Builders, in Wilberforce and run by Wayne Quibell, builds custom log or traditionally framed homes and cottages, along with bunkies, cabins, garages and decks. It serves Haliburton, Bancroft and the surrounding area and holds a 5.0 from 10 reviews. CDH Carpentry Ltd in Haliburton designs and builds high performance homes and specializes in the Passive House standard. Chris started it in 2011 with decks and small renovations.

Prefab is also an option on this page. Royal Homes Minden has served Haliburton and the Kawartha Lakes since 1983. It began by selling modular homes, and it now designs homes for each client's own lot and builds prefabricated components in a climate controlled factory where that makes sense. It holds 4.3 from 6 reviews.

Two other builders serve the cottage market from different angles. Windy Ridge Homes builds on the client's own land in the Haliburton Highlands and Muskoka area, with its own crews on site work, and handles septic, house, garage and deck permits. It holds 3.7 from 7 reviews. Cedar Winds Design ~ Build works in Haliburton and across Muskoka through an integrated design-build process, handles permit applications and minor variances, and holds 4.2 from 5 reviews. Both take on teardown and rebuild projects.

Sisson Ronald S Builder, based in Guilford and serving the Dysart area, focuses on custom homes and cottages, with additions and renovations for residential clients. It holds 4.8 from 5 reviews.

Waterfront building has one extra step worth knowing. Development in regulated natural hazard areas such as floodplains, shorelines, wetlands and watercourses needs a permit from the local conservation authority under the Conservation Authorities Act, so a lakefront lot may need that approval in place before building begins.

Towns close by with their own pages are Bracebridge, Washago, Bobcaygeon, Gravenhurst and Huntsville.
