Renovations That Require a Real Builder
Mighton Construction provides professional renovation services to homeowners throughout South Georgian Bay — from Collingwood and the Blue Mountains to Wasaga Beach, Clearview, and the broader Simcoe County area. Whether you are updating a single room or transforming your entire home, we bring the same planning, craftsmanship, and project management to every renovation.
We are built for renovations that require real construction — opening walls, reconfiguring spaces, upgrading systems, and coordinating skilled trades. If your project needs structure, permits, and one accountable team, that is exactly what we do.

The Renovations We’re Built For
We focus on renovations that involve real construction — structure, permits, multiple trades, and professional project management. From a single room to your entire home, every project gets the same disciplined approach.
- Kitchen renovations — layout changes, custom cabinetry, counters, plumbing, electrical, and finishing.
- Bathroom renovations — ensuites, main baths, and accessibility upgrades with proper waterproofing and ventilation.
- Basement renovations — recreation rooms, guest suites, home offices, and secondary-suite potential, built dry and to code.
- Whole-home renovations — gut renovations that rethink layout, structure, mechanical systems, and finishes throughout.
- Additions & garages — bedroom wings, family rooms, in-law suites, and detached garages or workshops.
- Decks & outdoor living — premium PVC and composite decks engineered for Georgian Bay exposure.
How we plan renovations
Planned Like Construction, Not Guesswork
Substantial renovations succeed or fail on how well they are managed. We treat yours like the construction project it is — one accountable team, one schedule, and full control of the details that go wrong on unmanaged jobs.
- Structure & permits handled — load-bearing changes, engineering, building permits, and inspections managed for you from day one.
- One accountable team — demolition, framing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and finishing, coordinated by one project manager.
- Your home respected — dust control, daily clean-up, and a schedule built around your household, because you still have to live there.
Open-book pricing
You See Every Invoice. Every Time.
Our cost-plus, open-book model means you always know what your renovation costs and why. You see the actual cost of every material and trade, plus our transparent management fee — no hidden markups, no allowance games, no surprises at the end.
- Detailed scope and budget before construction starts
- Actual trade and material invoices, visible to you
- Changes priced and approved in writing before work proceeds
- Weekly communication on progress, schedule, and spend
Four-season conversions
From Seasonal Cottage to Year-Round Home
Converting a seasonal cottage into a comfortable four-season home is one of our most common projects. It is more than a cosmetic update — it means upgrading the systems that let a home stand up to a South Georgian Bay winter.
- Insulation & air sealing — bringing walls, roofs, and floors up to year-round comfort.
- Heating & windows — efficient heating systems and windows that hold heat through the cold months.
- Foundations & services — foundation, electrical, and plumbing upgrades where the original build falls short.
Why Mighton
Renovators Who Know These Homes
Renovating in South Georgian Bay means older construction methods, soil and drainage challenges, freeze-thaw movement, and municipal requirements that vary from town to town. Jeff and Adam Mighton have renovated homes here for decades — we know what to expect behind the drywall, and we plan for it.

The right fit
A Builder, Not a Handyman
We are not the right fit for every job. If you need a faucet replaced or a door re-hung, a handyman is a better call. But when your project involves opening walls, reconfiguring spaces, upgrading systems, and coordinating skilled trades, that is exactly the work we are built for — and it is why our renovations start at around $20k.
