Local Expertise

Renovating an Older Vancouver Home

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.

Character & heritage homes

Kitsilano, Grandview-Woodland, and Kerrisdale hold protected character housing. We keep the parts the City wants kept while modernizing everything behind them.

Older wiring & plumbing

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.

Pre-1990 materials

Older homes can contain asbestos in flooring, ceilings, and insulation. We arrange proper testing and abatement rather than cutting into unknowns.

The wet climate

Vancouver rain finds every gap. We build in the flashing, waterproofing, and moisture detailing that keep a renovation sound through a coastal winter.

Tight lots & parking

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.

Permits & where we work

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.

What Vancouver Homeowners Say

Vancouver Home Renovation, Answered

Do you handle Vancouver permits for a renovation?

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.

Can you renovate an older or character home in Vancouver?

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.

Which Vancouver neighbourhoods do you serve?

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.

How long does a home renovation in Vancouver take?

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.

Are you insured for renovation work in Vancouver?

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.

How do I get started on my Vancouver renovation?

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. We will book a time to see the home in person, talk through what is possible, and follow up with a written estimate and schedule.
