Project Summary
Location: South Frontenac, Ontario
Category: Custom Home Build
Date: 2024
This custom home project was a special one for our team at Your Kingston Contractor. In early 2024, we partnered with a Toronto couple relocating to their retirement property on beautiful Loughborough Lake in South Frontenac. They came to us with a vision—but needed a trusted local builder to help bring it to life.
From day one, we provided full-service support, guiding them through the home design process, permit acquisition, and construction planning. Their dream was a peaceful, year-round lakefront home that made the most of the natural surroundings and would be a place for family to gather for years to come.
The biggest challenge? Granite. To achieve the desired elevation and home height, we had to excavate over 8 feet of solid granite—a significant undertaking that required careful planning and precision equipment. Once the site was prepped, the rest of the 8-month build went smoothly, with our crew managing every step to ensure timelines and quality expectations were met.
The result is a stunning, energy-efficient custom home that blends beautifully into its environment and offers all the comforts of modern living. It’s a perfect example of how local expertise and a client-focused approach can turn even the most challenging sites into something truly special.
FROM THE CLIENT:
“We had a vision for a custom design house after we had bought the land. When we approached John he made himself available to start as soon as possible. John and his team were great from start to finish. He was dedicated to the project and communicated frequently and in a timely fashion. He was always available to discuss any issues or questions that we had. It was a unique design and there were a number of times where we all learned along the way. John works with high quality suppliers and talented tradespeople. The end result is nothing less than spectacular! We’re very proud of the build and John deserves to be as well. We would highly recommend John and Your Kingston contractor for any project big or small.”
