One accountable crew for every part of your renovation, tailored to Richmond homes:
No matter the project, Elite Contracting Ltd. delivers the craftsmanship and the workmanship warranty your home deserves.
Renovating in Richmond means respecting the delta the city is built on. The land is flat and low, the soil is soft, and water is never far below the surface. Those facts change how we handle foundations, drainage, and lower levels, so we plan around them from day one.
Much of Richmond sits near sea level, and the city sets flood construction levels for habitable space. We plan lower-level work and any additions around those requirements rather than fighting them later.
The ground settles, which is why so many Richmond homes sit on piles or preloaded lots. We watch for movement, cracked finishes, and doors that no longer close square, and we build accordingly.
A low water table and heavy coastal rain make drainage detailing critical. We build in the waterproofing and grading that keep a renovation dry.
The older village stock around Steveston has its own charm and its own quirks, from dated wiring to tight lots, and we renovate them with that in mind.
Older Richmond homes can contain asbestos in flooring, ceilings, and insulation. We arrange proper testing and abatement rather than cutting into unknowns.
Renovations that change structure, add a suite, or affect flood levels go through a city permit process. We prepare and manage those applications so the paperwork does not stall your project.
From our shop at 10220 120 St in Surrey, we reach Richmond in roughly 20 to 30 minutes by way of Highway 91 across the Fraser. We renovate homes across the city, including Steveston, Broadmoor, Brighouse, Seafair, Terra Nova, and Hamilton.
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 account for the ground conditions Richmond is known for.
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 Richmond-specific things to plan around.
