Forest Hill Fine Homes is in the business of building high quality country homes, cottages, docks and boathouses in the Muskoka area. We also love to restore grand old Muskoka cottages to their original state. We are full turn-key builders who will start from a vacant lot or cottage renovation, and if requested, end it by putting sheets on the beds and flowers in the planters. Even though we handle large projects, we also accommodate smaller jobs competitively.

We are able to maintain our fine quality at fair prices because, Hugh Smith, the man who started the business grew up as a cottager in Muskoka. He knows what cottagers need and he knows how to work in difficult terrain and weather conditions. We are experienced in island work and have the equipment - boats, barges, snowmobiles and a hovercraft - to make certain we can meet your timetable in spite of the weather. But above all, we have the experience and we regularly combine our experience with that of architects, engineers and interior designers.

Hugh Smith has built his business and his reputation not only on quality but in being above board with costs. Forest Hill Fine Homes has a cost accounting system that constantly keeps our clients in the picture on every unit of material, hour of labour or use of equipment that goes into the project.

We do of course, have lots of references, but the best indication of what our clients think of us is that many of them keep their relationship with us by hiring us as maintenance/caretakers for their property on a long-term basis.
