Oak Bay

Preserving the Beauty of Oak Bay

Oak Bay is known across the country – if not around the world – as a unique part of Victoria, rich with history and heritage. With arts and crafts homes, Tudor Revivals, English cottages, and upscale properties, all set amidst meticulously landscaped gardens and lawns, this region is a truly majestic corner of the Capital Region District.

MAC Reno Design-Build has been working with the homeowners of Oak Bay to bring modern amenities, upgraded floor plans, and additional living space to these timeless homes while preserving the original look and character. We are the region’s most trusted renovation contractor because we provide accurate quotes, treat your home and family with respect, and deliver on the promises we make. We’re proud to be part of your community.

Custom Home Design-Build in Oak Bay

If you’ve found the perfect location, but the existing structure can’t meet the needs of your family, we can help you build the perfect home.

If there’s an existing home on the property, we can work with local companies to recycle the home in a new location, or if it’s too far gone, demolish and remove it before building the new house.

Oak Bay Kitchen Renovations

For many of the heritage homes in Oak Bay, the kitchen was often sequestered in a tiny space, far from everything else. That approach isn’t ideal for many of today’s homeowners, so our design team can work with you to update the space to suit how you like to entertain, cook, and live. There are endless ways to update a kitchen beyond cabinets and countertops in Oak Bay. We’ve helped homeowners move their kitchen from the back of the condo to the front, allowing the homeowners to enjoy their ocean views while preparing a meal. We’ve found additional square footage on the main floor by removing a closet or relocating a bedroom, allowing the kitchen to expand to accommodate a custom refrigerator and gourmet gas range for homeowners who live to cook. With the solid bones that the homes of Oak Bay have, the MAC design team and construction crew can create a kitchen you’ll look forward to using.
