Even contractors need a home that works for their family. When the owner of McDonald Contracting, Ed, and his family of five began to outgrow their existing first-floor layout, it was time for a home renovation that prioritized functionality, organization, and everyday living. The project focused on reimagining the home’s main living space by expanding the dining area to better accommodate family meals and gatherings, relocating the bathroom to a more private location, and incorporating a custom mudroom nook to help manage the daily flow of backpacks, shoes, coats, and sports equipment. This home renovation showcases how thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship can transform a house into a space that truly supports a growing family’s needs.
