We’ve been fortunate to work with homeowners throughout Greater Victoria for over 40 years, completing a wide range of projects that help them love where they live. 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 their experience with our team.

If you’re wondering how to update your home, MAC offers many types of home renovations that can give you more space or help you use your existing space better.

There’s a good chance you’ve already seen our work at a friend’s home or somewhere in your neighbourhood. We’ve built our business by learning what our clients want and, more importantly, why they want it. This allows us to deliver an experience and finished space designed around their taste and lifestyle.

Because we’ve taken this approach, most of our new business comes from referrals or past clients who invite us back for their next upgrade.

So, what exactly can MAC do for you? Here are some of the best ways to update your home.

Kitchen Renovations in Victoria

For many homeowners, a kitchen renovation is one of the best home renovations for improving how the house looks, feels, and functions. It is also one of the most common projects people consider when they want to update their home.

Our team works with you to understand your wants and needs, likes and dislikes, and hopes for the finished space. We use this information to design a kitchen that works for you, your home, and your lifestyle.

Benefits of a Kitchen Renovation

  • A kitchen workspace you can love: Our professional design team takes the time to understand what you need from your dream kitchen. Our construction crew then brings that plan to life, creating a space for family gatherings, entertaining friends, or cooking with the grandkids.
  • Efficiently beautiful and beautifully efficient: A professional design team can optimize your kitchen so everything you need is a few steps away and exactly where it makes sense.
  • Get rid of the junk drawer: A new kitchen can give you drawers that hold what you need, cabinets that make sense, and a dedicated place for your appliances.
  • Safety and long-term use: Our team can design the kitchen around what you need today while preparing the space for aging in place as your circumstances change.

Kitchen features you will love:

  • Pot filler above the stove
  • In-drawer microwave
  • Perfectly sized island
  • Countertops that fit your taste and budget
  • Task, ambient, and natural lighting

Bathroom and Ensuite Renovations in Victoria

Bathroom and ensuite projects are among the most practical ways to update your home, adding comfort, privacy, storage, and functionality to a space you use every day.

While the bathroom might be the most utilitarian room in many homes, there’s no reason yours can’t be both gorgeous and functional. Older Victoria homes often allocate limited space to this essential room, but with a little creativity, our designers can often find the room you need to create something more comfortable and beautiful.

Benefits of a Bathroom Renovation

  • A place for everything: From small cubbies to floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, your bathroom can provide storage for everything your family needs.
  • Peace and privacy: Your bathroom can become a private space where you can rest, recharge, and get ready without interruption.
  • Support for aging in place: Thoughtful features can help you use your bathroom safely for years, including blocking for future handrails and a no-step entrance to the shower.

Must-haves for your new bathroom:

  • Heated flooring
  • Soaking tub
  • Luxury shower
  • Efficient 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

A whole-home renovation is one of the most comprehensive ways to update your home. Instead of preparing your property for sale, finding a realtor, and dealing with viewings, offers, financing, inspections, and moving, you can invest in the home and neighbourhood you already love.

By choosing MAC for a full-home renovation, you can update several connected spaces through one coordinated plan and make the entire house work better for your current and future needs.

Benefits of a Whole-Home Renovation

  • Enjoy the feeling of a new home without changing your address
  • Add energy-efficient heating and cooling for year-round comfort
  • Reduce the disruption of completing multiple smaller projects
  • Make the space fit your needs today and in the future
  • Improve safety and stability by addressing hazardous materials and seismic concerns

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 living together is the best choice for everyone, you probably need more space. Before you hit the MLS, give MAC a call to see how we can help you gain usable square footage without changing your address.

Several types of home renovations can create more room. We can build an addition, convert unused attic space, upgrade a basement, or lift your home to add another level. We can also build a secondary dwelling, such as a garden suite or carriage 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 rental income or more privacy for family
  • Set up a craft room with dedicated storage and workspace
  • Build a home office where you can work without interruptions
  • Create a primary bedroom suite with a walk-in closet, fireplace, and more floor space
  • Add bathrooms so everyone has more time and privacy when getting ready
