Shorline Construction is dedicated to building quality cottages and boathouses by Doug Smith

 

Grant and Sharon Watkinson, owners of Shorline Construction, have worked hard over the past 11 years to make their business one of the foremost builders in Muskoka, and can boast of many satisfied customers.

  “We have completed 18 new construction projects and 10 renovations during that time,” wife and business partner Sharon says proudly.

  “People ask specifically for Grant when they are considering a building project,” she states of her husband’s workmanship. “One year we worked on three cottages side-by-side on Lake Joseph,” she says, explaining that the one neighbour just recommended Grant to the other.

  Though Grant works mainly on Lake Joseph, he has done work all over Muskoka, working on both new construction and renovation projects, such as finishing the interior of a cottage for a customer in the village of Rosseau.

  Grant’s 20 plus years of construction experience shows throughout his work.

  “He has eye for detail, and a knack for doing trim and the finish work,” Sharon says. “The architect of one of the boat house projects Grant worked on made just the preliminary plans, leaving the rest to Grant to finish. He knew Grant would take care of it. Grant looked after all of the details  -- the arches, the gingerbread, the deck railings, everything,” says Sharon.

  He has worked on a number of boathouses. “In 2000 he worked on a 9,000 square foot cottage and boathouse simultaneously,” Sharon explains, continuing, “there was a lot of interior detail, with handmade pine trim throughout. Grant got the job done within the one year guideline specified by the owner,” says Sharon, pointing out that Grant “delivers quality work and works to timelines.”

  Another project involved renovating a large cottage, plus building a boathouse for the owner within the same year.

  The many testimonials confirm these claims, and the photos on the website (at www.shorlineconstruction.com) attest to the quality of all of Grant’s projects.

As the Watkinson’s assert on their website, “From the initial foundation to the final coat of paint, Shorline Construction is dedicated to building quality cottages and boathouses.  We take pride in our work and we believe the results speak for themselves.  Talk to us about building your dream!”
