Local to Port Perry
Port Perry and Scugog, town and country.
Port Perry mixes a historic downtown and lakeside homes with newer subdivisions, and the rest of Scugog Township is largely rural, with homes on larger lots, many of them on private wells and septic systems.
Rural properties change how a renovation is planned. Adding a bathroom, a kitchen or a basement suite can affect a septic system, and Scugog’s permit guide notes that projects on properties with a septic system need Health Department approval, and properties with a well need a well report. We plan for that from the first visit.
Lakeside and rural homes are also great candidates for decks: big, multi-level and built to handle the weather off the lake.

Permits and local rules
Building permits in Scugog.
The Township of Scugog’s homeowner guide lists the projects that typically need a permit, including additions, alterations and renovations, garages, decks and porches, fireplaces and wood stoves, sheds, new or structural changes to windows and doors, and plumbing and drains.
Scugog uses a size threshold for decks, sheds and other structures: a permit is required for any structure over 15 m² (161 sq ft), roughly 3.87 m × 3.87 m (13 ft × 12 ft). Zoning rules apply to every structure regardless of size.
Where a property has a septic system, Region of Durham Health Department approval is required, and a well report is needed where there’s a well. Properties on the Oak Ridges Moraine may need a site plan application for larger accessory buildings.

The Ramsauer team did a fabulous job on building a new deck in my backyard along with a matching garden planter. Cameron’s workmanship was impeccable. His creative skills and building talent combined with his easygoing personality and attention to detail were unmatched. He completely met my vision and did it with seemingly little effort. Cameron is a natural builder whom I would definitely hire again. Thank you to Jim, Cameron and the Ramsauer team.
Alison Abou-Heif OvenellDeck · Google review★★★★★I can’t say enough good things about these guys. They are great people and their work is outstanding. I had the floors done in my bathroom and on my main level as well as all new baseboards and trims and I couldn’t be happier. Let’s plan the next project! Thanks guys! Highly recommend!
Linda HodgkinsonFlooring and trim · Google review★★★★★Jason and Michael did a great job with my bathroom. The waterproofing and tiling job was exceptional! Everything turned out beautiful. It was a pleasure dealing with Jim on the project. He came by several times and answered all questions. I highly recommend.

Questions
Renovating in Port Perry: your questions.
Straight answers. Anything else, just ask.
01Do you work in Port Perry and rural Scugog?
Yes. We work in Port Perry and across Scugog Township, including rural properties outside town.
02Does a septic system affect my renovation?
It can. Adding bathrooms, kitchens or a suite can add load to a septic system. Scugog’s permit guide notes that projects on properties with a septic system need Region of Durham Health Department approval, and we plan for that from the start.
03Do I need a permit for a deck in Scugog?
Scugog lists decks and porches among the projects that need a permit, and requires a permit for any structure over 15 m² (161 sq ft). Zoning rules apply to every deck.
04Do you build lakeside decks?
Yes. We build multi-level decks in pressure-treated, cedar and composite, with railings and stairs designed for the view.
05Do you renovate older homes in downtown Port Perry?
Yes. We plan for what older homes can hide once the walls are open and include it in your quote.
