The attention to detail is incredible. The Andare team has just finished building my home and I'm absolutely blown away. I've been living in here for just under a month now and I still haven't found a single flaw, you can really see their experience and craftsmanship in every part of the home.

Does Andare build new cottages or renovate existing cottages?
Both can be planned. Scope may include new builds, additions, interior renovations, exterior upgrades, kitchens, bathrooms, decks, and four-season improvements.
Can a cottage be designed for year-round use?
Yes. Four-season use requires planning for insulation, windows, heating, cooling, water systems, access, ventilation, and durable materials.
Do cottage projects need permits?
Usually, yes. Permits depend on municipality, shoreline rules, structure, septic, additions, and the type of work proposed.
Can Andare coordinate consultants outside the GTA?
