ADDITIONS
Are you living in a community and location you love, yet feel like you’ve either outgrown your current home or desire to add more space? There is no need to relocate; let MAC design + build make your existing home ideal.
As the "heart of the home" your kitchen is the room where family and friends gather. Remodeling your kitchen will add new life to your home, or allow you to upgrade from "builder-grade" cabinets, countertops and appliances, not to mention enhance your resale value in the future.
Your bathroom should be your sanctuary and reflect the style you’ve so lovingly infused into the rest of your home. Imagine a heated floor or towel racks, inlaid tile flooring, natural stone and recessed dimmer-controlled lighting. That’s the way to truly relax and enjoy your master bath.
The outside of your home should be as beautiful and functional as the interior, and it can be with a custom deck or patio. Enjoy family and friends on your own private oasis that extends your living space into the natural surroundings of a beautifully landscaped garden.
We also handle smaller projects for clients as our schedule allows. These projects have included, but are not limited to: foyers, dormers, laundry or craft area renovations, full or partial landscaping and pools. If you envision a change in your home, just ask us.

Justin was the first person we met at MAC and when he came out to our house I knew we had the right people for the job. Justin patiently listened to our ambitious plans for the bar in the basement and was diplomatic in managing our expectations. Would work with him and the MAC team again in a heartbeat.read less

I requested a formal estimate from MAC for my kitchen renovation and bump out. I was scheduled promptly (less than 2 weeks from request) and the team that came to the house was very professional. They asked a lot of detailed questions and were very thorough which makes me feel comfortable the resultant plans and estimate will reflect what we are looking for. I especially enjoyed speaking with the designer Allison. She was very easy to talk to and seemed to pick up on our vision for the space very quickly.read less

They are not just focused on getting the work done, but rather they try to make everything they touch look beautiful. We received many compliments after our project with MAC. We worked with Justin O Connell in 2018/2019; we are very pleased with his work. The most commendable aspect is Justin's ability to identify issues at the root, he was able to find out many issues that our adjuster missed. This ability comes with experience. Justin and his team advised us with various home re-design options that fit our budget. Our Kitchen redesign was a great investment that we made and the result was fantastic. Justin and Cathy played a key role in keeping us honest about the project costs, material costs, whilst providing us the best possible design options. Above all, Justin and his team can adapt very quickly based on individual tastes/budgets and deliver quality work. Thank you for all the wonderful work.read less

The design was complicated and required sophisticated and experienced designers, engineers and procurement crews. MAC design listened to all our wish list items, incorporated almost all of them, but offered their own dramatic design inputs and ways to achieve our goals in more cost effective ways - they took our dreams and brought them to life. Many companies we spoke with said they could do anything we wanted. But from the beginning, MAC took the time and effort to develop the true feel for what we wanted, and then meshed that with their own design skills to create a contemporary AND practical kitchen - not simply executing whatever we thought might work or be interesting. We certainly were prepared to pay what it takes to achieve our goals, but MAC inserted reality into the process, often proposing solutions that saved us considerable sums in various areas. All members of the MAC team were dedicated to their tasks, often going the extra mile to get an aspect just right vs. adopting an easy, off the shelf solution. With their experience and contacts, they were even able to have custom items fabricated that were more cost effective than off the shelf. It was touches like these that took the project from nice to over the top and grand!read less

Our townhouse in Belmont Country Club was built in 2001 and it was time for an update. We considered cabinet refacing; painting the existing cabinets, replacing hardware and adding a new counter. This process takes a lot less time and is much less expensive. We spent months considering our options. Once we decided to commit to a complete remodel, we needed to find a contractor. We interviewed five contractors, sharing our ideas for the kitchen and considering the updates each company rep would suggest. Candidly, this process took months. We received estimates and spent hours looking through websites to finalize the look we wanted to achieve. Justin O’Connell from MAC Design & Build made the decision easy. Together we explored several design concepts and he was very patient as my husband and I considered our options. Ultimately, we entered into this project with a clear vision of how we wanted the kitchen to look. MAC worked with us to incorporate our ideas into the final design plans. Everyone at MAC from the design consultants, lighting experts and cabinet installer to the flooring, tile and counter subs were friendly, ontime and hard working. Even once the kitchen was complete and the final pieces of hardware were installed, MAC’s customer service team was extremely responsive to making sure everything was perfect. Our family looks forward to making many lasting memories in our beautiful new kitchen. A big thanks to Justin and Dave at MAC Design and Build for a truly amazing experience from start to finish.read less
