Renovations in Mackenzie
Mackenzie lies north of Prince George, off Highway 97, and was built as a planned forestry town in the 1960s. We take renovation projects there by arrangement from our Prince George base, with a design consultation and a fixed written price.
Renovations in Mackenzie
Because Mackenzie was built as a planned town, a large share of its homes date from the same period and share similar layouts: bungalows, split-levels and basement homes from the 1960s and 70s. Many still have original or older bathrooms and kitchens, insulation and plumbing that have been patched over time, and basements that could be far more useful.
We rebuild bathrooms down to the studs with walk-in showers and proper ventilation, renovate kitchens with better layouts and storage, develop basements, replace flooring and tile through main floors, and plan whole-home renovations that update several rooms at once. Since homes of this age often have similar issues behind the walls, we plan for them from the start rather than treating them as surprises.
How the design consultation works here
Mackenzie is in our extended service zone, served by our Prince George team. We take projects there by arrangement and confirm travel and scheduling with you when you book, so you know when we can come up and how the work will be laid out.
During the consultation we look at the space, measure, take photos and talk through your goals, budget comfort and timing. You then receive a fixed written price, a lifetime workmanship guarantee and a staged payment schedule tied to milestones. Call (250) 999-4500 to start.

Renovating in Mackenzie
What we plan for in homes here. Permit rules vary, so we confirm what applies to your address before we design.
Updating 1960s and 70s homes
Homes from this era often have small bathrooms, closed-in kitchens, limited insulation and plumbing that has been patched over the decades. We price these possibilities honestly and explain clearly if we find something once walls are open.
Permits
Homes in town go through the District of Mackenzie, and properties outside it fall under the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George. We check which applies, whether your project needs a permit, and handle the application.
Northern winters
Winters here are long and cold, with plenty of snow. We pay attention to insulation and air sealing when walls are open, and to ventilation so moisture from bathrooms and kitchens leaves the house.
Planning for distance
Getting materials and a crew up the highway takes planning. We confirm finishes and order materials well before the start date so the work runs steadily once we are on site.
