Transform the Home You Have Into the Home You Need
A major renovation can completely change how your home looks, feels and functions—but only when the work behind the finishes is properly planned.
Maloff Contracting manages major home renovations throughout Kelowna and the surrounding Okanagan. We coordinate the construction, trades, materials and inspections required to transform dated or poorly functioning homes into comfortable, modern living spaces.
Our renovation service is best suited to substantial residential projects involving multiple rooms, structural work or several coordinated trades.
Renovations That Solve Real Problems
The goal of a renovation is not simply to make a home look newer. It should improve how the space works for the people living in it.
That may mean opening a divided main floor, redesigning an inefficient kitchen, adding bathrooms, improving storage, finishing unused space or updating an older home’s electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems.
We approach each project by looking at the home as a complete system. This helps us create a cohesive result instead of a collection of disconnected upgrades.
Major Renovation Services
Our renovation projects can include:
- Whole-home interior renovations
- Main-floor transformations

If your project requires additional square footage, we can also discuss whether a home addition would provide a better long-term solution.
Careful Planning Before Demolition
Older homes frequently contain conditions that cannot be seen during an initial walkthrough. Previous renovations, framing changes, outdated wiring, plumbing locations and moisture issues can all affect the work.
Before construction begins, we review the existing home, clarify the scope and identify where further investigation may be required. Structural changes are coordinated with the appropriate engineers and permit requirements.
Thorough planning cannot eliminate every unknown, but it can significantly reduce unnecessary delays, rushed decisions and avoidable costs.
Clear Budgets and Organized Project Management
Major renovations involve many overlapping stages. Demolition, framing, mechanical work, inspections and finishing must happen in the correct order to keep the project moving efficiently.
Our project management includes:
- A clearly defined construction scope
- Budget development based on the planned work
- Coordination of designers and engineers when required
- Building-permit coordination
- Scheduling of trades and material deliveries
- Regular site supervision and quality control
- Communication about progress and upcoming decisions
- Clear documentation of requested changes
- Final deficiency review and project turnover
When existing conditions require a change, we explain the issue, available options and potential cost before proceeding whenever possible.
Respect for Your Home
Renovation work can be disruptive, particularly when homeowners remain in the property during construction.
We maintain organized work areas, manage debris and coordinate disruptive stages as carefully as the project allows. Before work begins, we will discuss access, temporary shutdowns, dust control, working hours and which areas of the home can remain in use.
Our goal is to protect the parts of the property outside the construction area while keeping the renovation progressing safely and efficiently.
Our Renovation Process
1. Project Consultation
We discuss the problems you want to solve, the areas being renovated, your priorities, budget expectations and desired timing.
2. Site Review and Scope Development
We review existing conditions and determine what drawings, engineering, selections or further investigation may be needed.
3. Planning and Budgeting
The project scope is refined, major selections are identified and a realistic construction budget and schedule are developed.
4. Construction
We coordinate demolition, structural work, trades, inspections and finishing while keeping you informed throughout the project.
5. Final Completion
We review the finished work with you, address deficiencies and provide a clear handover of the renovated space.
Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a major renovation?
A major renovation normally affects multiple rooms or requires coordinated structural, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and finishing work. Examples include whole-home updates, complete main-floor transformations and substantial basement projects.
Do we need to move out during construction?
That depends on the scope. Some projects can be completed while the home remains occupied, while extensive renovations may be safer and more efficient if the affected area—or the entire home—is vacant. We discuss this during planning.
Will our renovation require a building permit?
Structural changes, additions, new plumbing, secondary suites and other substantial work will often require permits. We review the proposed scope and coordinate the appropriate professionals and applications.
How much should we budget?
Renovation costs depend on existing conditions, project size, structural complexity, mechanical changes and finish selections. After reviewing the home and proposed scope, we can help establish a realistic preliminary range.
Do you complete small repairs?
Our renovation service is focused on larger residential projects requiring professional planning and multiple trades rather than handyman repairs or individual fixture replacements.
