Common Renovation Trends in Elbow Park
Open-Concept Living
Many of Elbow Park's older bungalows feature compartmentalized layouts. A key trend is removing non-structural walls to create open-concept kitchen, living, and dining areas for better flow and a modern feel.
Heritage-Sympathetic Kitchen Updates
Homeowners are updating kitchens from the 1950s and 60s with high-end appliances, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry, while carefully preserving the home's original character where possible.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Flooring
Replacing dated carpets or worn flooring with durable and stylish Luxury Vinyl Plank is a popular choice. It offers the look of hardwood with superior water resistance, ideal for riverside properties.
Powder Room Modernization
Even small spaces can make a big impact. Homeowners are transforming dated powder rooms with modern vanities, bold wallpaper, and contemporary lighting to create a high-end guest experience.
Built by a Calgary local. Backed by real experience.
Troy MacDonald grew up in Calgary — Bridgeland, Crescent Heights and Chestermere — and purchased his first home in Coventry Hills in 1997. His renovation education started on his own properties: ten homes owned, every one improved, three turn-of-the-century homes personally gutted and rebuilt in six-figure renovations. Inspired by the "Make It Right" philosophy of Mike Holmes, Troy taught himself through trial and error at his own expense before ever charging for his skills. That foundation grew into a full operation — three crews across multiple worksites — and the standards he developed on his own homes are now the standards the entire RenoResQ team is held to.
In 2003, Troy relocated to Winnipeg to manage WestJet's airport base — overseeing a staff of 154 and transforming it from the airline's lowest-performing station to number one in on-time performance, baggage handling, customer service and employee satisfaction within eighteen months. That base held the top ranking for three consecutive years. After achieving every goal he set, Troy transitioned into real estate in 2009 and was personally involved in over 130 home transactions in Winnipeg, giving him a deep understanding of what premium buyers notice and what updates actually move the needle. Now, with RenoResQ established as Winnipeg's trusted home refresh specialist, Troy is bringing that same standard back to his hometown of Calgary.
