• “The new edition to Gerry’s 1963 cottage is terrific! You are such great people to work with – you always seem to anticipate what we want before we realize it ourselves!” - Clive Honey Harbour
• “Now that our projects are coming to completion, we would like to say how incredibly pleased with the outcome, your staff and your Family. This has been an effort by friends as we have never felt like we were customers, but part of your Family. That chemistry has allowed this project to evolve and constantly improve over the past 3 years and there is no doubt that outcome has far exceeded our expectation and cemented our special relationship. We constantly sought input from various sources within your company as to a better approach and your experience and willingness to offer suggestion has had a remarkable impact. We have intentionally preserved the cottage theme that was established 70 years ago when your Grandfather Art built the original Pan Abode.” - Warren and Kathy Honey Harbour
• “White Contracting has done a number of major projects for our family over our 60 years in Cognashene. From additions to the existing cottage, decks and interior renovation their work has been excellent. They have all the equipment to complete the jobs. A major benefit is Gerry and Trevor’s experience to make the new blend in with the old and minimize the visual impact that new buildings bring. They also seem to have a good working relationship with the local regulatory process probably because their work is always at or above code” - John, Laura and Family Cognashene
• “My wife and I have utilized the services of White Contracting on many occasions over the past 27 years and most recently for the construction of an addition to our original cottage, along with a new dock, a deck rebuild and a new accessory storage building. We have been extremely satisfied with our “White” experience. They lived up to all of our expectations and in our view, made the construction process go as smoothly as it possibly could. Their team was excellent and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend White Contracting to anyone looking to build in the Southern Georgian Bay area” - Trevor and Raechel Honey Harbour

Always we have experienced a close personal relationship with the White Organization which has been most enjoyable. Our needs and requirements have been responded to quickly and completely. Estimates have been accurate and true. Completion times have been exact and all the work has been done accurately in a most professional and attractive way.

• “Tom and I have been extremely pleased with all the work we have had completed on the property over the 8 years we have been cottagers in the area including new docks, additional bedrooms and a new Bunkie. White Contracting employees have been detailed oriented and the finishing work has been well done and of high quality, specific to our requests. We have generally not been present for much of the work but the construction areas have been left tidy and care was taken to be neat. The company is well versed functioning within the Township of Georgian Bay guidelines and their contacts have made progress very smooth. White’s have made every attempt to keep us in the loop and appraised of situations as they arise and have made it very easy for us to do these projects from the city without concern. Working with the White Family has been a great experience; you are all very friendly and experienced and your concern for the client to be pleased really shows” - Marilyn and Tom Georgian Bay
• “Gerry White built my cottage in 1985 from a sketch I sent him on squared paper. He helped me choose the site, made sound practical suggestions and some wonderful aesthetic ones in developing the final design. In the years since, I've returned to White Contracting for all the additions, enhancements and maintenance that cottage life demands. I know the work will be first class, the explanations comprehensible and the working relationship pleasant.” - Jane Georgian Bay
