At LIDA Homes, we believe your home should evolve as your life does. Whether you’re welcoming a new child, accommodating aging parents, or simply need more space for a growing family, a thoughtful renovation can help you stay in the place you love, while making it work better for how you live today.

For over 25 years, LIDA has helped families across Greater Victoria reimagine their homes with smart, functional upgrades that blend comfort, longevity, and exceptional design. We’re more than just builders—we’re partners in shaping homes that grow with you.

Why Renovate Instead of Move?

With Victoria’s tight housing market and limited inventory, many families are choosing to remodel rather than relocate. Renovating allows you to:

  • Stay in a neighborhood you already love
  • Preserve proximity to schools, work, and extended family
  • Avoid the financial and emotional cost of moving
  • Customize your home to your exact needs
  • Invest in long-term value and improved livability

Instead of searching for something new, reworking what you already have can be the smartest way forward, especially when you work with a team that understands how to make every square foot count.

Common Renovations for Growing Families

As your household changes, your home should too. Here are some of the most impactful renovations we help families achieve:

More Bedrooms or a Secondary Suite

Create space for new children, guests, or multigenerational living with thoughtfully designed additions or conversions.

Additional Bathrooms

Avoid traffic jams in the morning with added or expanded bathrooms that improve daily flow.

Kitchen Reconfigurations

An open-concept kitchen not only enhances connection but also creates a natural hub for family life. As household needs change, the kitchen may need to adapt with more seating, a bigger dining area, or multi-purpose zones.

Storage and Mudroom Additions

Functional spaces like mudrooms, pantries, and built-in storage help keep busy households organized.

Flexible Family Spaces

Basements, lofts, or bonus rooms can be adapted over time as playrooms, media lounges, study areas, or home offices.
