Who this page is for

Built for
substantial projects.

This page is for homeowners planning a significant renovation, typically $50,000 and up: reworking a main floor, renovating a whole home, or adding space with an addition. These projects involve structure, permits, multiple trades and real money, and they deserve a contractor set up to run them properly.

What a MATCON major project includes

  • Design & engineering coordination
  • Permit applications
  • Structural work
  • Coordinated licensed trades
  • Finishes & millwork
  • Single point of contact
  • Weekly updates

Planning something smaller?

We're glad to help with single-room projects too. The best place to start is our general contact page.

Whole-Home Renovations

One team, one plan, the whole house.

Curved oak staircase and upper-landing railing in a whole-home renovation, with the new white kitchen visible below.
Living room after a whole-home renovation: a linear fireplace set into a full-height tiled feature wall, pot lights and new oak flooring.
Open living area with a bay window and dark hardwood after a whole-home renovation.

When most of the house is changing at once, the sequencing matters as much as the finishes. We plan the whole project up front, run every trade under one project lead, and keep the schedule and the budget in view from the first day to the final walkthrough.

  • Major interior renovation across multiple rooms
  • Layout changes and structural openings
  • Coordinated licensed trades under one project lead
  • Electrical, plumbing and HVAC updates
  • Flooring, stairs, millwork and finishes throughout
  • Design, engineering and permit coordination

The same kitchen after the renovation: white shaker cabinets, a navy island, quartz counters and new flooring.
Before and after: the kitchen and living area, part of a whole-home renovation.
The large project was completed on schedule and within budget to our absolute satisfaction.

Main-Floor Renovations

Open-concept living, done properly.

Open-concept main floor after the dividing walls came out: exposed timber beams and posts, a white kitchen with a blue island, and a sectional on wide-plank oak flooring.
Main-floor renovation with a white kitchen and quartz peninsula opening onto the living room, with structural posts finished to match the trim.
White shaker kitchen with a dark-stained island and quartz counters opening into a vaulted family room.

Opening up a main floor is structural work first and finishing work second. We have the beams and load paths engineered, handle the permits, and then bring the kitchen, flooring, millwork and lighting together so the finished space reads as one room rather than three that happen to be connected.

  • Open-concept transformations and structural wall removal
  • Kitchens integrated into the wider main-floor plan
  • Engineered beams, posts and load paths
  • New flooring, stairs and railings
  • Custom millwork, built-ins and lighting
  • Coordinated finishes so it reads as one space
During the renovation: the load-bearing wall removed and a new structural beam installed across the main floor.
After the renovation: an open main floor with a navy and white kitchen, quartz peninsula and French doors to the deck.
During and after: a load-bearing wall removed and a new beam installed, then the finished kitchen and dining area.
Everything went smoothly, and I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of my entire main floor renovation.

Home Additions

More room, built to feel original.

Second-storey addition under construction: steel beams and new roof trusses in place above the existing walls, with the crew on site.
Interior framing of a new upper storey, with engineered floor joists overhead and sunlight through the new window openings.
A new second storey framed and house-wrapped above an existing home during a second-storey addition.

A good addition should be hard to spot from the street and impossible to notice from inside. We handle the design, engineering and permit applications, build the foundation and envelope to current code, and tie the new space into the existing home so rooflines, floors and finishes line up.

  • Rear additions and extensions
  • Second-storey additions
  • Design, engineering and permit applications
  • Foundations, framing and building envelope
  • Seamless tie-in to the existing home
  • Interior finishing to match
My new addition looks fabulous, and functions better than I had imagined.

Questions

Before you
get in touch.

The questions homeowners ask most before a major project. If yours isn't here, ask it at the consultation.

  1. What size of project do you take on?

    Our major-project work typically starts around $50,000 and runs well beyond that: main-floor renovations, whole-home renovations and additions. We're glad to help with smaller single-room projects as well; for those, the best place to start is our general contact page. General contact page

  2. Do you handle design, engineering and permits?

    Yes. We coordinate design drawings, structural engineering and permit applications where the project requires them, and we manage the inspections through the build. If you already have plans, we work from those. If you don't, we can arrange them as part of the project.

  3. How does $0 deposit and pay-as-you-go work on a $150,000 project?

    The same way it works on every MATCON project. There is no deposit to start. The project is broken into stages, such as demolition and structure, rough-ins, drywall, and finishes, and each stage is invoiced as it begins rather than before. On a $150,000 project you would see a series of stage invoices across the build instead of one large payment up front, and you only ever pay for work that is underway or complete.

  4. How long does a main-floor renovation or addition take?

    It depends on scope, permits and how much structure is involved, so treat these as honest ranges rather than promises. A main-floor renovation usually runs 8 to 14 weeks on site. A whole-home renovation is typically 3 to 6 months. An addition is usually 4 to 8 months including design, engineering and permit time. We give you a written schedule before we start and weekly updates while we build.

  5. Are your trades licensed and insured?

    Yes. MATCON INC. is insured, and electrical, plumbing and HVAC work is completed by licensed, insured trades, all coordinated under a single MATCON project lead. Every project is backed by our written 5-year workmanship warranty.

  6. Is financing available?

    Yes. Through our Financeit partnership, a larger project can be financed into monthly payments on approved credit; rates and terms are set by Financeit. It pairs with, rather than replaces, our $0-deposit, pay-as-you-go approach. See financing details
