One project.
Every room, done right.

Full-home renovations designed, permitted and built by one accountable team — kitchen, bathrooms, living spaces, structural reconfigurations and mechanical upgrades, all on a single fixed quote and one project timeline.

Scope Is Everything

Why renovating the whole home at once makes sense.

When you renovate one room at a time, you end up with a house that never quite coheres. The kitchen you redid five years ago doesn't match the floors you're about to replace, the bathroom tile clashes with the hallway, and the electrical panel you should have upgraded during the kitchen reno is now a problem again. Sequential projects also mean repeated disruption — contractors in and out over years instead of months.

A whole-home renovation solves for all of that at once. One design pass creates a unified look across every room. One permit package covers the whole scope. One project manager coordinates every trade so nothing waits on another. And one fixed quote means you know the total cost before a single wall comes down.

What a whole-home renovation can include

  • Kitchen renovation — layout, cabinetry, counters, appliances and services
  • Bathroom renovations — one or several, tiled, plumbed and finished together
  • Living and dining spaces — flooring, lighting, built-ins and paint throughout
  • Structural reconfiguration — removing or relocating walls, opening up floor plans
  • Electrical panel upgrades, new wiring, and lighting design for the whole house
  • Plumbing upgrades — replacing aging galvanized or poly-B where needed
  • Windows, doors and exterior finishes coordinated with the interior scope
How a Full-Home Reno Runs

From discovery to final walkthrough.

STEP 01

Discovery & Full Design

We assess every room together — layout, finishes, structural changes — and produce a unified design that treats the home as one project, not a list of rooms.

STEP 02

Permits, Schedule & Fixed Quote

We pull all required permits, lock in a project schedule with firm milestones, and give you one fixed price covering every trade. No open-ended billing.

STEP 03

Phased Build

Work proceeds in a logical sequence — structural first, then rough-ins, then finishes — managed by one project manager who keeps every trade on schedule and the site orderly. Timelines typically run several months.

STEP 04

Final Walkthrough & Warranty

A room-by-room deficiency walkthrough, final clean, and written workmanship warranty before we consider the project closed.

What It Costs

Whole-home renovation pricing in Vancouver.

Every home is different, and every whole-home project is scoped and fixed-quoted individually. These Greater Vancouver ranges reflect what projects of different depths typically cost — they're a planning guide, not a menu.

  • Single-floor or partial remodel ($150K–$300K) — renovating a significant portion of the home such as the main floor or all bathrooms, without touching the structure or mechanical systems
  • Full-home interior renovation ($300K–$600K) — kitchen, all bathrooms, flooring and paint throughout, new lighting, and minor layout adjustments across multiple floors
  • Down-to-studs or structural reconfiguration ($600K+) — full gut, load-bearing changes, new mechanical systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), new windows, and a fully redesigned floor plan

Every whole-home job receives a fixed quote after the design phase. That number covers all trades, permits and project management — it doesn't change unless you change the scope in writing.

Where We Work

Whole-home renovations across Greater Vancouver.

We build full-home projects throughout Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond and Surrey. Each area has its own character: Kitsilano and Dunbar houses tend to be older character homes with original knob-and-tube wiring and plaster walls; Burnaby and Coquitlam have a lot of 1970s–80s split-levels with layout potential; North and West Shore homes often have dramatic views that a whole-home reno can open up properly. We know what to expect in each municipality — including their permit timelines — and we build that into your schedule from the start.

Whole-Home Reno FAQ

Questions, answered.

It depends on the scope. For a phased renovation where one floor or wing is done at a time, many families stay in place — the site is sealed off nightly and dust is managed carefully. For a full down-to-studs gut where mechanical systems come offline, we recommend temporary accommodation. We discuss this honestly at the design stage before any contract is signed.

Most full-home renovations run four to eight months on site, depending on scope. A partial interior refresh covering a few rooms might be done in three months; a down-to-studs structural reconfiguration with new mechanical systems can take closer to a year. We give you a firm schedule — with milestones — before we start.

After the design phase we provide one fixed price that covers every trade — framing, plumbing, electrical, flooring, cabinetry, painting and all permits. That number doesn't change unless you change the scope in writing. There's no open-ended hourly billing and no surprise invoices from subtrades billing you separately.

Yes — that's what design-build means in practice. We draw the plans, engage a structural engineer for any load-bearing or layout changes, pull permits from your municipality, and manage every trade from demo to final inspection. You have one point of contact throughout the project.

Yes, and for older Vancouver-area homes this comes up regularly. Pre-1970s homes often have knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes and undersized panels that need upgrading to current BC code. We identify all of this during the pre-design walkthrough and include it in your fixed quote — it never surfaces as a surprise mid-build.
