When the opportunity arose in 2014 to become the exclusive Island retailer for Maple Leaf Homes, he jumped at the chance to add this modular option to his menu of products and services. Hence, Legacy Homes was born. “I have always been interested in providing customers with a great product at a fair price,” said MacKenzie. “From my experience installing Maple Leaf Homes, I was already sold on their engineering and quality and knew this product would be a valuable complement to MacKenzie Building Services.” Since that time, Legacy Homes has helped many Islanders achieve their dream of home ownership, either through the purchase of mini (one piece) or modular (two or more piece) homes. Don’t think, though, that these homes are cookie-cutter catalogue orders. The days of having one or two basic options, with perhaps a few minor modifications, are long gone. In fact, some of these factory-
built homes, ranging from 2,000 sq. ft. cottages to 100-box apartment buildings, are as customized as “from-scratch” builds. Of course, MacKenzie Building Services takes care of the on-site installation of Legacy Homes, taking anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending on the level of customization. MacKenzie maintains that the sale and installation of these homes by his companies provides a major advantage to his customers. “Both Legacy Homes and MacKenzie Building Services operate according to the high standards my staff and I are famous for,” said MacKenzie. “If a homeowner is not happy with the finished product, the buck stops right here. There is no finger pointing involved, we just go ahead and resolve any concerns.” In addition to those well-respected high standards, MacKenzie is proud to have been the first Islander to be awarded a Master Builder designation, through the
Canadian Home Builders' Association. He sees this designation as the best guarantee of quality he can offer clients. Though Darren MacKenzie’s career has taken him places he never could have imagined, one thing has never changed: his insistence on top quality products and ethical services. PEIL
