Love the neighbourhood?
Let's talk about the house!
Mature trees, established streets, larger lots and communities people genuinely enjoy living in. There’s a reason homeowners put down roots in Lake Bonavista and Willow Park.
But sometimes the house needs to catch up with the people living in it.
Maybe the kitchen feels cramped, the main floor needs a better layout, or the basement hasn’t been touched in twenty years. Perhaps you’re considering a complete renovation but aren’t sure what’s possible with an older home.
Design Factor Homes specializes in custom home building, full-home renovations, additions and residential construction throughout Calgary, including Lake Bonavista, Willow Park and surrounding southeast communities.
With more than 30 years of construction and renovation experience, we help homeowners make better use of the homes and properties they already love.

Renovating Homes in Lake Bonavista
Lake Bonavista is one of Calgary’s established southeast communities, known for its lake amenities, mature landscaping and residential character.
Many homeowners love the location but want to update their homes to suit today’s lifestyles.
That might mean opening up a main floor, creating a larger kitchen, adding a primary ensuite or completely renovating the interior.
Design Factor Homes works with existing structures to explore what’s possible, considering everything from floor plans and structural changes to plumbing, electrical and finishing details.
A thoughtfully planned renovation can give an established home an entirely new chapter without changing the address.
Willow Park Home Renovations
Willow Park offers established residential streets, mature properties and convenient access to amenities across southeast Calgary.
Many homes in the community have layouts and finishes that reflect when they were originally built. Others have undergone several renovations over the years and could benefit from a more coordinated approach.
We help homeowners explore renovations that improve everyday living while working with the existing property.
From kitchens and bathrooms to extensive main-floor renovations, basements and additions, our focus is on creating spaces that make sense for the people using them.
Full Home Renovations, Kitchens, Basements & Additions
Sometimes a new kitchen is enough. Other times, the entire house needs a rethink.
Design Factor Homes provides a range of residential renovation and construction services in Lake Bonavista, Willow Park and throughout Calgary.
Full Home Renovations
Complete interior transformations involving demolition, structural modifications, updated layouts, flooring, electrical, plumbing, windows, millwork and finishing. We look at how the different spaces connect rather than treating every room as a separate project.
Kitchen & Main-Floor Renovations
Opening up living spaces, improving natural light, adding storage, updating cabinetry and reworking layouts to make everyday life easier. Sometimes moving one wall makes a bigger difference than replacing everything in the room.
Basement Renovations
Transforming outdated or underused basements into family rooms, home offices, guest spaces, entertainment areas, bathrooms and more. We also consider existing ceiling heights, moisture conditions and mechanical systems before construction begins.
Home Additions & Exterior Renovations
Need more room without leaving the neighbourhood? We can explore additions, expanded living spaces, exterior improvements, window and door replacements, and updates that improve both appearance and function.
Renovating an Older Calgary Home: What Should You Consider?
Older homes often have plenty of potential, but renovation planning involves more than selecting finishes.
Previous renovations, existing framing, plumbing, electrical systems, insulation and structural conditions can all influence what is possible.
With decades of residential construction experience, Design Factor Homes understands the importance of looking beyond the visible finishes.
Before beginning a major renovation, we consider:
- The existing structure: Which walls can change, and what structural modifications may be required?
- Mechanical systems: Will the plumbing, electrical and heating systems support the renovation?
- What is worth keeping: Are there existing features or materials that should be incorporated into the updated home?
- The bigger picture: Would a renovation, addition or more extensive rebuild make the most sense?
Not every older home needs to be completely rebuilt. Sometimes the best renovation begins by recognizing what’s already working.
Why Renovate Instead of Move?
If you already love your neighbourhood, moving can mean giving up more than the house.
The mature yard, neighbours, nearby amenities and familiar streets may be exactly what you want.
Renovating gives you an opportunity to improve the parts of your home that no longer suit your lifestyle while keeping the location you enjoy.
Whether it’s a new kitchen, additional living space or a full-home transformation, we’ll help you explore the options before committing to a direction.
