Renovations and Custom Builds in Innisfil, Ontario
Aloe Contracting is a general contractor in Innisfil serving homeowners across every community in town. We handle kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, basement finishes, and complete custom home builds for families who’ve chosen Innisfil as home and want their space to reflect that.
Innisfil started as cottage country. Most of those cottages along Lake Simcoe are permanent homes now, and many of them are ready for a serious renovation. The newer builds in Alcona and Stroud have their own needs too, especially unfinished basements that were built to be completed later. We understand both sides of the Innisfil housing landscape because we’ve worked on both.
We’re based in Barrie, which puts us less than 15 minutes from most of Innisfil. Mauro is personally involved in every project, and we file permits through the Town of Innisfil’s building department on a regular basis. No learning curve. No guesswork.
Communities We Serve in Innisfil
Innisfil is made up of distinct communities, each with its own character. We work across all of them.
Alcona
Alcona is the largest and fastest growing community in Innisfil, centred around Innisfil Beach Road. The mix here ranges from older lakefront properties to brand new subdivisions. Most of the basement finishing and kitchen renovation work we do in Innisfil happens in Alcona.
Stroud
Stroud sits along Yonge Street and has seen steady new development over the past several years. The newer homes here were often built with unfinished basements and builder grade finishes that homeowners are now ready to upgrade. We also take on full bathroom renovations and main floor redesigns in this area.
Cookstown
Cookstown is the quieter, more rural corner of Innisfil to the southwest. The homes here tend to be older with larger lots, and the renovation projects are often more involved. Full kitchen remodels, structural updates, and properties that need a contractor who knows what they’re opening up.
Lefroy and Belle Ewart
These two communities sit along the Lake Simcoe shoreline south of Alcona. Many of the homes here were originally built as seasonal cottages and have since been converted to permanent residences. That means additions, insulation upgrades, and interior renovations that bring the home up to the standard of modern living.
Big Bay Point and Gilford
The eastern shore of Innisfil along Lake Simcoe is home to some of the most desirable waterfront properties in the region. Renovation work here tends toward premium finishes and larger scopes, from custom builds to complete interior transformations on established lakefront homes.
Rural Innisfil
Outside the main communities, Innisfil is still largely agricultural with homes on larger lots and country properties that need a contractor comfortable with the space and scope. We take on everything from additions and garage builds to full renovations on older farmhouses.

Learn MoreCustom Homes
Building on a lot in Innisfil means working with local soil conditions, setback requirements, and a municipality that’s growing fast. We manage every detail from foundation to finishing.
Learn MoreHome Additions
When your Innisfil home doesn’t have the space your family needs, an addition that matches the existing build is almost always smarter than moving.
Learn MoreCommercial Renovations
Innisfil’s commercial corridor is growing alongside the residential side. We build and renovate retail, restaurant, and office spaces to code and on schedule.

Renovating in Innisfil
Most basement finishes in Innisfil run between $30,000 and $60,000 depending on the size of the space and what you want included. A straightforward finish with a rec room, bathroom, and LVP flooring comes in closer to $30,000. A complete suite with its own entrance, kitchenette, and upgraded finishes pushes toward $60,000. Many of the newer homes in Alcona and Stroud were specifically built with the lower level ready to be finished later, which keeps costs down because the rough ins are already in place. We provide a detailed quote after walking your space.
For anything that changes the structure, electrical, or plumbing in your home, the Town of Innisfil requires a building permit. That includes finishing a basement, adding a bathroom, building an addition, or removing a load bearing wall. Cosmetic work like painting, new flooring, and replacing light fixtures does not need a permit. We file permits through the Town of Innisfil’s building services department regularly and coordinate all inspections so the process stays on track without you having to manage it.
Kitchen renovations in Innisfil typically range from $25,000 to $75,000. A cosmetic refresh where you keep the existing layout and replace cabinets, countertops, and backsplash comes in at the lower end. A complete gut renovation with new plumbing, electrical, custom cabinetry, and an island sits higher. Kitchens in the older Cookstown and Lefroy homes often cost more because the work involves updating the entire infrastructure behind the walls, not just the visible finishes. We always walk the space before quoting so the number reflects your actual kitchen, not an estimate based on square footage alone.
The Town of Innisfil allows secondary suites in most residential zones, and many of the newer homes in Alcona and Stroud already have the basement layout to support one. A legal secondary suite needs its own entrance, a kitchen, a bathroom, and has to meet Ontario Building Code requirements for ceiling height, egress windows, and fire separation. We’ve built basement suites across Innisfil and handle the full process from permit application through final inspection. It’s one of the best ways to generate rental income from space you’re not using.
Start by asking who actually works in your area on a regular basis. A contractor based three hours away might take the job, but they won’t know the local permit process, the soil conditions near the lake, or the trades who do the best work in this part of Simcoe County. At Aloe, we’re based in Barrie and we’re in Innisfil constantly. Mauro is personally involved in every project. We never take on more than we can manage well, and we’re transparent about timelines and pricing from the first conversation. Call us at (705) 881-2791 and see if we’re the right fit.
