We’ve been fortunate to have worked with homeowners throughout Greater Victoria, doing a wide range of projects to help them love where they live for over forty years. Since our early days, when Ed was installing windows, hanging doors, and building trust, we’ve focused on doing more to ensure our clients love their homes and our business. Today, we’ve expanded significantly, offering a wide range of home renovation projects to give you more space or use your existing space better.
There’s a good chance you’ve seen our work already, whether it’s at a friend’s home or one of your neighbours. We’ve built our business by working with our clients, learning about what you want — and more importantly, why you want it — so we can deliver an experience and product designed to fit your taste and lifestyle. Because we’ve taken this approach, the vast majority of our new business comes from referrals from existing clients or clients who invite us back to do their next upgrade.
So what exactly can MAC do for you?
Kitchen Renovations in Victoria
This is likely the most common project that people think of when they have renovation on the mind, and it is a big part of our business. Our team is fantastic at working with you to determine your wants and needs, likes and dislikes, and hopes and dreams, and we use this information to design a kitchen that works for you, your space, and your lifestyle.
Benefits of a Kitchen Renovation
- A kitchen workspace you can love – our professional design team will dig deep into your preferences to understand what kind of space you need in your dream kitchen, then our construction crew will bring it to life. Imagine having a fabulous space to host a gathering of friends or family or memory-making cooking classes with the grandkids.
- Efficiently beautiful. Beautifully efficient – a professional design team can optimize your space, so everything you need is just a few steps away and exactly where it makes sense for it to be.
- Get rid of the junk drawer – when you have a new kitchen, you can enjoy drawers that actually hold everything you need, cabinets that make sense, and a home for all of your appliances.
- Safety – our team can help you design the space to ensure it does everything you need from it today and is ready for you to age-in-place as your life circumstances change.
Kitchen features you will love:
- Pot-filler above the stove

Bathroom & Ensuite Renovations in Victoria
While it might be the most utilitarian space in many homes, there’s no reason why yours can’t be gorgeous and functional.
Older homes in Victoria tend to have a small space allocated to this essential room, but with a bit of creativity, our designers can often find the room you need to turn your bathroom into a place of beauty.
Benefits of a Bathroom Renovation
- A place for everything and everything in its place – from little cubbies to floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, your bathroom can hold everything your family needs.
- Peace and privacy – your bathroom can be a sanctuary within your home, where you can rest and recharge without interruption.
- Aging-in-place – smart ideas to help you live in your home for as long as you want, like blocking for future handrails and no-step entrances to your new shower.
Must-haves for your new bathroom:
- Heated flooring
- Soaking tub
- Luxury shower
- Efficient and effective ventilation
- Storage for everything
Outdoor Living Renovations in Victoria
Living on an island in the Pacific means we pretty much have the best climate in the country, enabling you to enjoy your outdoor living space all year round. How great would it be to have an outdoor kitchen you’ll enjoy using, even in the middle of winter? Or a nice comfy covered deck to enjoy the summer heat without the sunburn?
Imagine your yard with:
- A fire pit
- A privacy fence to keep your fur-kids in (and prying eyes out)
- A covered deck
- An in-ground, automated irrigation system
- Outdoor lighting to spotlight the beauty, day or night
Whole Home Renovations in Victoria
With Victoria’s challenging real estate market, upgrading your current home is far more enjoyable than buying something else. Instead of preparing your home for sale, finding a realtor, and suffering the stress of viewings, offers, financing, and home inspections on both sides of the purchase, you could invest in the space you love by choosing MAC to complete a full-home renovation.
Benefits of a Whole-house Renovation
- The joy of finding a new home without changing your address
- Energy-efficient heating and cooling to help you stay comfortable year-round
- Cost-savings vs. multiple small projects
- Make the space fit your needs for today and for your future
- Upgrade for safety and stability – removing hazardous materials and improving seismic stability
Find More Space on Your Property in Victoria
If the walls are closing in as your kids grow from tots to teens, or your family has decided that moving in with you is the best choice for everyone, you probably need more space. But before you hit the MLS, give MAC a call to see how we can help you find more space without changing your address. We can create more usable square footage by building an addition, converting an attic space, upgrading a basement, or lifting your home to add a whole new level. Another option is to build a secondary dwelling unit on your property – a carriage house or a laneway house – so you can keep your family close, but not too close.
What would you do with more livable square footage?
- Create a suite for additional revenue or to create physical boundaries with family
- Set up a craftroom with dedicated storage and a workspace that isn’t your kitchen table
- Build a home office to work from home without interruptions
- Set up a primary bedroom suite with the walk-in closet, fireplace, and floorspace you’ve always dreamt of
- Add extra bathrooms to give everyone time to get ready in private
