"We had an excellent experience with Northern Oaks Contracting. Rob was always friendly, professional and very knowledgeable in many different areas. Not only did he do a great job with our renovation but he noticed and helped us out in some other areas too."
"I hired Northern Oaks for a driveway extension as part of my home renovation so I could park two additional cars, and I'm really impressed with the results. The quality of the work and craftsmanship really stand out. It's been over 6 months and it's held up perfectly."
"The Northern Oaks Contracting crew has been amazing to work with from start to finish. Their ability to keep both customers and trades well-coordinated has made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable and professional team!"
"Robert installed a kitchen backsplash for us. Communication was great and he showed up to do the work when he said he would. The price was very reasonable and quality of work excellent. Would definitely recommend them."
"We hired Rob to complete a chimney rebuild and do some work on an exterior and interior wall. The work was completed within the agreed upon time frame and when we had an issue with the fireplace after the chimney rebuild Rob was speedy to come back and sort it out."
"My property manager recommended Rob. I obtained multiple quotes, and his company stood out as the most professional and offered the best price. I highly recommend them, excellent customer service and I'm very satisfied with their work."

Commercial & Industrial questions.
Are you a registered general contractor for commercial work in Ontario?+
Yes. We hold WSIB clearance, $5M commercial general liability, and act as the prime contractor under the OHSA for projects we manage. We're a registered vendor with the District of Muskoka.
Can you work nights and weekends to keep our operation running?+
Routinely. A large share of our commercial fit-outs are completed on second-shift or weekend schedules with our own crews, not subcontractors.
Do you self-perform or sub everything out?+
We self-perform carpentry, drywall, finishes, and general framing. We use vetted local subs for mechanical, electrical, and roofing under our supervision with single-source accountability.
How do you handle change orders?+
Written change-order log, owner sign-off before work proceeds, and a 10% contingency built into every contract. No surprise invoices at closeout.
