Renovate or Relocate
Project Overview
Deciding whether to renovate or relocate was top of mind for this McKenzie Lake residing family. They were concerned about eclipsing their homes value by investing too much into their home renovation. At the same time, they had a significant list of requirements for a renovation and the desire to stay in their existing home for at least another 8-10 years. Through a feasibility discussion with Pinnacle, they discovered they would be able to achieve what they wished, within a reasonably acceptable budget range.
Project criteria
This family’s main criteria was the desire to update the existing home from a dated 80’s oak package to a mid-century modern design. Working with Pinnacle’s design team, they were able to achieve a solution to create an open kitchen and dining area, while not having to compromise the size of the island they wanted. This was achieved by installing a bearing beam and creating an open set of barn doors, which now connects the dining room to the kitchen.
Pinnacle’s custom cabinetry division allowed this client to create a fully customized island depth so that it worked within the footprint of the existing kitchen. Existing oak cabinetry was removed on one entire wall to create a feeling of spaciousness in sync with a mid-century modern feel, which in turn allowed for an exquisite set of double barn doors. Fully custom cabinets were crafted to perfectly fit the proposed cabinet area and maximize every available space. As well, to accommodate the budget requirements, the kitchen sink and window location were both kept intact, alleviating the need for any exterior repairs or changes or plumbing relocates.
During the Design Discovery process, it was also determined that the dropped family room floor design adjacent to the kitchen created limitations for furniture placement. Subsequently, the floor was raised, allowing it to be flush with the kitchen and dining room area for complete flexibility of furniture placement; the result created great flexibility and a much better flow from kitchen to Great Room.
In addition, the existing brick wood-burning fireplace was replaced with a linear burning gas fireplace and a recessed TV positioned directly above the fireplace. The family room transformation was completed with the two custom built-in cabinets flanking the fireplace; the resulting feel of this space beckons friends and family to completely enjoy this welcoming Great Room.
The main floor makeover also included freshening up the powder room, laundry area and staircase railing and the removal of an unsightly bulk head in the formal dining room and family room. As a result; the first glimpse and sight lines from the front door to the staircase, as well as the newly positioned dining room with the elegant barn doors beyond, now all blends beautifully with the balance of the main floor transformation.
The final result is an exquisite home that compliments the family’s existing needs, as well as their keen desire for a complete design transition they will enjoy for years to come; at the same time, the entire renovation creates a great first impression, along with an impactful design that will only enhance future saleability.

Pinnacle Group Renovations' owner, Paul, has designed a great process...
…very similar to a commercial building project. The SCC Guarantee was the main reason we chose Pinnacle Group. No one else would guarantee a start and finish date. Jami is very good at what she does. She thinks functionally and from an ‘aging in place’ perspective. We have a future proof design. When there were hiccups, Paul and his project manager immediately took responsibility and communicated a resolution plan. The finished product is better than anything that we have seen or were expecting. The Pinnacle staff made it so we could trust them and have faith they would get it all done. If someone wants a renovation done on time and on budget, they should choose Pinnacle Group Renovations.

100% great experience with Paul, the owner of the Pinnacle Group, and his staff...
“Paul held himself to a high standard and ensured that quality work was done. We thank God for Jami, their designer. She had good ideas, listened to us, and delivered on the functionality and also made our kitchen and home look pretty. Pinnacle’s Site Supervisor, Brennan, answered questions and was very professional. He found solutions and got things done. He always talked to us and was detail oriented. We have already recommended Pinnacle Group because they are ethical and solution oriented. Pinnacle did the project on time and with quality. We could trust them and the whole team is great. You pay a premium price with Pinnacle but it is money well spent and they deal with issues professionally.”

The best thing about Pinnacle Group is that they're honest and fair...
We trust them, and that’s everything. They didn’t always try to be right, but listened and were fair to deal with. Paul, the owner, has a good handle on the trades and sub trades. He knows his business very well. Jami is a wonderful designer, patient, always very helpful and open to feedback. We love Pinnacle Site Supervisors, Brennan and Grant. They were patient and would explain everything. They were also open to moving things or making changes for us. Pinnacle did an outstanding job. We can tell by the feedback from our family and friends how impressed they are.”

“Pinnacle Group's trades and the millwork people did a really good job...
We liked the personalities of Paul, Pinnacle Group’s owner, Brennan, their site supervisor, and Jami, their designer, as well as attending the Pinnacle open houses. We wanted an established company because we were having a load bearing post removed, and needed to make sure the company was legit. We value the quality of the reno and working with Jami. Brennan gave good suggestions too, like the pantry redesign. We actually miss interacting with Brennan, Jami! and the team! Pinnacle was pleasant to work with and the quality is great. We are happy with our reno.”

We totally enjoyed working with Paul, the owner of Pinnacle Group, and Jami, their designer
They were friendly, professional, and we enjoyed the experience. Brennan and Grant, the site supervisors, were warm, friendly, and really down to earth. They explained things in a way I could understand. They would resolve any concerns I had during the process. We recommend Pinnacle for the quality of workmanship, their timelines and good communication. When I recommend them to my friends and neighbours, I tell them you have to pay for quality. We ended up renovating the whole house. We got our money’s worth.

I interviewed 3 companies, and it was the interaction with Pinnacle Group's owner, Paul Klassen, that sold the project. and Jami, their designer.
From our conversation, I got a good sense of his character. He was genuine and trustworthy, so we proceeded with Pinnacle. The group as a whole was fantastic. The project was on time and on budget. The way Brennan and Grant, the site supervisors, handled themselves was great. When there were issues, Brennan and Grant listened and they delivered what they said they would.”
