One accountable crew for every part of your renovation, tailored to older Vancouver homes:
No matter the project, Elite Contracting Ltd. delivers the craftsmanship and the workmanship warranty your home deserves.
Renovating in Vancouver means working with what the city already has. Much of the detached housing was built before 1960, so we plan around the quirks of older homes from day one, and there are fewer surprises once the walls open up.
Kitsilano, Grandview-Woodland, and Kerrisdale hold protected character housing. We keep the parts the City wants kept while modernizing everything behind them.
Pre-1970 homes often still run knob-and-tube wiring or galvanized pipe. We coordinate the upgrades a permit inspector will expect before finishes go back on.
Older homes can contain asbestos in flooring, ceilings, and insulation. We arrange proper testing and abatement rather than cutting into unknowns.
Vancouver rain finds every gap. We build in the flashing, waterproofing, and moisture detailing that keep a renovation sound through a coastal winter.
Working in Mount Pleasant or the West End means staging materials on a narrow street. We manage deliveries and site logistics so the job does not overwhelm your block.

Renovations that change structure, add a secondary suite, or touch a laneway build go through the City of Vancouver permit process, and we manage those applications for you. From our Surrey shop we reach Vancouver in about 30 to 45 minutes, and we renovate homes across Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Dunbar, Kerrisdale, Marpole, Renfrew, and the West End.
We walk your home, listen to what you want changed, and give you a written estimate with a realistic schedule.
We finalize the plan and, when the work needs it, prepare and submit the permit applications.
Our crews handle demolition, structure, mechanical, and finishing, and we keep the site managed on tight city lots.
We review the finished work with you and stand behind it with our workmanship warranty.
Every renovation type comes with its own scope, and its own Vancouver-specific things to plan around.
Cabinets, counters, appliances, lighting, and sometimes removing a wall.
Older galvanized plumbing and undersized electrical in pre-1970 homes.
Waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and ventilation.
Moisture control and proper venting for the wet coastal climate.
Egress, ceiling height, a separate entry, and a full kitchen and bath.
Secondary-suite rules and the inspections the City requires.
Layout, wiring, plumbing, insulation, and finishes, all together.
Character-home retention, asbestos in pre-1990 materials, and permit timelines.
The same team from demolition to the final coat, instead of a chain of subcontractors who never met.
We prepare and manage the City of Vancouver permit applications so the paperwork never stalls your project.
Elite Contracting Ltd. is fully insured and backs every renovation with a workmanship warranty.
A verified 5.0 star rating on Google, earned on real projects across Metro Vancouver.

Excellent servicePosted on Rajdeep KaurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently worked with Elite Contracting Ltd. for tenant improvements, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, their team was professional, detail-oriented, and clear in communication. They handled everything from design adjustments to construction with care, staying on schedule and within budget. What really stood out was how they coordinated all trades (electrical, plumbing, flooring, painting) seamlessly, which made the whole process stress-free for us. The finished space not only looks modern and high-quality but also meets all code requirements, giving us peace of mind. I would highly recommend Elite Contracting Ltd. to anyone looking for reliable, skilled professionals for tenant improvements or commercial renovations. They truly deliver on what they promise.
Yes. When a project changes structure, adds a secondary suite, or involves a laneway build, it goes through a city permit process. We prepare the drawings and applications and manage the approvals so the paperwork does not hold up your renovation.
Yes. A large share of Vancouver’s detached homes were built before 1960, so older wiring, galvanized plumbing, and pre-1990 materials are common. We test for what needs testing, coordinate any abatement, and upgrade the systems a modern home needs while keeping the character features the City protects.
We renovate across the whole city, on both the East Side and the West Side. That includes Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Dunbar, Kerrisdale, Marpole, Renfrew, Hastings-Sunrise, Grandview-Woodland, and the West End. Our shop is in Surrey and Vancouver is a short drive over the bridges.
It depends on the scope. A single bathroom moves quickly, while a full-home renovation runs longer because of permits, inspections, and the number of trades involved. We give you a realistic schedule with your estimate and keep you updated as the work moves along.
Yes. Elite Contracting Ltd. is fully insured, and we back our renovations with a workmanship warranty. Our 5.0 rating across 115 Google reviews reflects how we work on real projects across Metro Vancouver.
Reach out through our contact form or by phone and tell us a little about your home and the change you have in mind. Photos of the space help, along with a rough idea of your priorities.
