We live at Lake of Bays. We are part of the community here. We want to preserve the character and charm of this special place by helping address the changing needs of cottage owners through helping design and build thoughtful renovations, additions and accessory buildings that preserve the character, charm and quality of older cottages.

Working on existing buildings requires a strong technical understanding of building systems, technologies and components. Ruhl Builds sets a new standard for quality in design and construction in the renovation and addition space. Every project is designed and built by a professional engineer with both the technical knowledge and craft to address the most challenging projects.

There is something about existing buildings; the history, the charm of their imperfections, the story they tell, that ignites our passion and ultimately our desire to give them the attention they deserve. On top of this, there is the simple fact that working on existing buildings is a great way to avoid the immense waste of tearing them down.

Our approach is simple: give each project the care and attention that we would give our own house. We only take on one project at a time so that we are able to truly immerse ourselves in the work. When we do this we are able to deliver incredible value, attention and quality on each and every project.

Let us bring your vision to life through expertise, craftsmanship, and a dedication to quality.
