Custom Home Builders in Ontario, by city

1,765 custom home builders in 126 cities. Every city page ranks the businesses in it by rating and review count, with featured placements marked.

This page lists every city and town in Ontario with custom home builders on this directory. Each city page shows the builders that work in and around it, with ratings, review counts and the work each one describes on its own website: custom homes, in-house design, building on your lot, teardowns and infill, cottages and waterfront homes, energy-efficient builds and permits.

Building a custom home in Ontario usually means you own the land and sign a construction contract with a builder. That builder must hold both a vendor and a builder licence from the Home Construction Regulatory Authority, and the home is a contract home under Tarion's new home warranty. Your municipal building department issues the permit, once any zoning change, minor variance or conservation authority approval the lot needs is in place.

Toronto and its former boroughs, Mississauga, Ottawa and Oakville hold the most builders, and cottage country from Muskoka to the Bruce Peninsula has its own. Smaller places with one or two builders are folded into the nearest city page, unless they are too far from one, in which case they keep a page of their own under Smaller towns.
