If you are reading this from Toronto and the cottage is 200km away, the install we just described is exactly what we built our service around. Gravenhurst is a 3-hour drive from the city. We handle the entire job without you being there, send you photos, and walk you through the new system over FaceTime before you head up for the weekend.
Honest take: where to save, where not to
The thing most Gravenhurst basic cottage owners do not realize about this: the install typically takes 2 to 4 hours and we are in and out the same day. We bring the parts, the tools, and the experience. You do not need to be home if you have given us access in advance.
