Esquimalt

Esquimalt’s Trusted Home Renovation Contractor

Since 1980, MAC Reno Design-Build has brought beauty and style to homes throughout Esquimalt and the surrounding communities. We’ve upgraded Songhees condos to maximize their water views and living space, updated and lifted homes in VicWest to give families room to grow, created custom kitchens in waterfront homes on Saxe Point, and added garden suites for extended families in View Royal.

Esquimalt has always been a special place for us – we called it home for a few decades until we outgrew the space and built our showroom on West Saanich. If you’re looking for a professional design-build team who knows the area, the people, and the beauty of Esquimalt, MAC is the crew for you.

What Your Neighbours Are Saying About MAC Reno-Design-Build

We were very happy with the quality of materials and workmanship on the reno of our basement to provide a two-bedroom suite for family.

The sub-trades did their best to make the experience as smooth as possible for those of us living in the rest of the house.

Our project leader and project manager did their best to communicate with us. Despite delays, some of which were due to dealing with the unexpected in the old basement, the finished work was worth the wait. I cannot emphasize enough how excellent the workmanship was, thanks to the various crews from the sub-trades. The men and women working for MAC Reno are real professionals.

Esquimalt Custom Homes FAQ

What are the most popular home renovations in Esquimalt?

Esquimalt has quite a range of home styles, so there is a wide variety of home renovation projects that MAC can deliver to the region. For the smaller military-era homes, we’ve upgraded the attic to make it more useable, either with more bedrooms or an extra bathroom. For the homes in View Royal, we’ve upgraded kitchens and renovated suites. In the Gorge area, we’ve lifted houses, added square footage, built new decks, and more. It’s safe to say that all of the renovation options we offer have been popular.

Do I need permits for home renovations in Esquimalt?

The guidelines around the need for a permit in Greater Victoria is that if it’s anything other than cosmetic, you need a building permit. Because we are your design-build team, we leverage the relationships we have within each municipality to ensure this is done correctly. We want you to spend time with our design team, not in line at the municipal office, so we do it all for you.

How long do typical home renovations in Esquimalt take to complete?

It’s hard to answer this, as there’s no such thing as a ‘typical’ renovation. We could work on two homes in the same neighbourhood, each requesting a kitchen renovation, but what’s important to one homeowner might not be to the other, so right from the start, the design will be different. Rest assured that when you choose MAC for your home renovation in Esquimalt, we’ll give you a solid timeline so you’ll know exactly what to expect from start to finish.

Which home renovations add the most value to Esquimalt properties?

Every upgrade we do, whether it’s adding new living space, updating a kitchen, or simply replacing windows and doors, adds value to your home in Esquimalt. The people who choose to work with us tend to be homeowners who plan to live in their space for another decade or so, and that means the value they get from their renovation is as much emotional as it is financial.
