Serving the South Channel of Georgian Bay since 1999.

What we do

Renovations first, and the jobs that go with owning a cottage you reach by water. If it needs doing at the cottage, ask us.

Cottages and docks along the Georgian Bay shoreline

Renovations, inside and out

Basically everything a cottage needs, built by a crew that brings its own boat and barge.

Open and close cottages

We get the cottage ready before you arrive in the spring and secure it for winter when you leave.

  • Spring openings
  • Fall closings
  • Check-ins after storms or long absences

Barge deliveries

Anything you need or want, brought to your dock.

  • Propane
  • Furniture
  • Building material

Garbage removal

Loaded onto the barge and taken off the island, so you do not have to haul it yourself.

  • Household garbage
  • Renovation and demolition debris
  • Old furniture and appliances

Georgian Bay Cottage Maintenance has looked after island and shoreline cottages on the South Channel since 1999. It is an owner-run business: the owner answers the phone, comes out for the site visit, and runs the crew.

We work with our own boat and barge, so getting people, material and deliveries to your dock is planned from the start.
