We live at Lake of Bays. We are part of the community here. We want to help 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. For this reason, every Ruhl Builds project is designed and built by a professional engineer with both the technical knowledge and craft skills 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.

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 to detail and quality on each and every project.

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