Among the core values Ed McDonald set out for his team at MAC Renovation is B次元官网网址渃are.B次元官网网址 So, when they were working with a widow on a renovation that would let her in the home she loved, a MAC carpenter helped her into the empty bathtub to determine where to perfectly position the grab bars, just for her.
It was a small, albeit thoughtful, detail, but one that would let her continue enjoying her bathroom easily and safely.
Those kinds of details are at the heart of the for clients looking to adapt their home for their needs as older adults.
B次元官网网址淥ften, we have clients who want to stay in their home as long as they can, in a neighbourhood they love, close to friends and their favourite activities, so we look for ways to help them do that,B次元官网网址 explains Chris Willis, Project Leader with MAC Renovations.
For those homeowners, after considering their goals and exploring the costs and benefits of moving to a seniorsB次元官网网址 residence, a renovation that keeps them safe and comfortable in their home for years or decades, just makes sense.
So, what comes next?
The benefit of a comprehensive design-build process is that your renovation will be designed specifically for your needs and to your style.
B次元官网网址淓ven with clients in their 50s or 60s, weB次元官网网址檙e looking at how theyB次元官网网址檒l be using their home five years, 10 years or even 15 years from now,B次元官网网址 Willis notes.
The MAC Renovation design team can call on the services of an occupational therapist, for example, but their designers are also adept at knowing what questions to ask.
If you like to cook or bake, a lower counter height may be more comfortable, for example, while pull-out shelves or drawers will make cupboard space much more accessible. And if you typically shower, rather than taking a bath, in favour of a no-step, walk-in shower significantly reduces tripping hazards.
Other common changes range from widening doorways and creating a more open layout to smaller, but meaningful details like adding task lighting and changing doorknobs for levers B次元官网网址 much easier to use for anyone with arthritis.
B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e really in tune with what makes sense for folks because weB次元官网网址檝e been through it with many homeowners B次元官网网址 we know what to look for and what often makes sense for people,B次元官网网址 Willis says.
Once youB次元官网网址檝e created that comprehensive wish-list, detailed plans and renderings will help you visualize your project. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 the difference between using your imagination and having our designers draw something that you can actually see and visualize,B次元官网网址 Willis says.
Add that to MACB次元官网网址檚 knowledge, experience and investment in technology like the valuable tracking tool Buildertrend, along with regular communication with your project lead, and the home you love today will be the home you enjoy even more tomorrow.
