Custom cottages. Thoughtfully planned from the first drawings.
Custom cottage and custom home wiring
We coordinate outlets, switches, lighting layouts and equipment connections with your architectural and interior plans. Early decisions about millwork, gathering spaces, large windows and service capacity help the electrical installation fit the finished home. Rough-in and finishing are scheduled with your builder, with applicable ESA notifications and inspections arranged for our work.
Cottage renovations and year-round living
An addition or major renovation is an opportunity to review the existing wiring, panel, service capacity and circuits. We assess the proposed appliances, heating equipment and everyday needs before defining the scope. Access, the condition of the existing installation and the new equipment determine the recommendations.
Lighting, Lutron controls and shades
Layer ambient, task, accent and decorative lighting for kitchens, reading areas, artwork and architectural features. We consider glare, colour temperature and dimming compatibility. Lutron controls, scenes and automated shades can be planned together, with wired or battery-powered options reviewed for the selected system.
Backup power and EV charging
Discuss essential loads, generator placement and transfer equipment for a Honeywell or Generac standby system. We also review garage or driveway charging, cable routes and electrical capacity. Remote features and monitoring depend on the chosen equipment and the property’s internet connection.
Landscape lighting and outdoor living
Plan lighting for entrances, paths, trees, gardens and decks with Kichler and in-lite options. Fixture positions, cable routes, transformer requirements and controls are coordinated with the landscape design. Carefully aimed lighting helps keep glare and unwanted spill away from neighbouring properties and the lake.
Outdoor power and seasonal lighting
Suitable outdoor receptacles and controls can support string lights and holiday lighting. A Lutron Caséta outdoor smart plug may suit compatible plug-in lighting, subject to equipment ratings and installation requirements. Dock, boathouse, pool, hot tub and sauna work requires a separate review of location, access and scope.

Common questions
When should an electrician join a custom cottage project?
Involve us while architectural and interior plans are being developed. This gives the project team time to coordinate service requirements, lighting, controls, wiring routes and equipment locations before rough-in.
Can you upgrade an older cottage?
Yes. We review the existing installation and the proposed renovation or equipment changes. The scope depends on wiring condition, electrical capacity, accessibility and the requirements of the new work.
Can lighting, shades and outdoor lighting work together?
We can plan coordinated controls and schedules where the selected products are compatible. System design, network connection and individual equipment determine which functions can be combined.
Do you work with builders and designers?
Yes. Send drawings, fixture selections and the construction schedule. We coordinate electrical details with the project team and explain the decisions needed before walls and ceilings are finished.
