The Short Version

Elite Contracting Ltd. is a renovation contractor with a four-technician crew, working out of a shop at 10220 120 St in Surrey. Richmond is one of the areas we take work in. Jobs run from a whole house down to a single room: kitchens, bathrooms, basement suites, structural wall removals, and flooring and finishing.

Work that changes structure or adds a secondary suite goes through the City of Richmond permit process, and we prepare and manage those applications. Estimates cost nothing, and the form on this page starts one.

Local Expertise

Renovating a Richmond Home

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.

High water table and flood levels

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.

Soft delta soil

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.

Drainage and moisture

A low water table and heavy coastal rain make drainage detailing critical. We build in the waterproofing and grading that keep a renovation dry.

Steveston character homes

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.

Pre-1990 materials

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

Permits & where we work

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 by way of Highway 91 across the Fraser. We renovate homes across the city, including Steveston, Broadmoor, Brighouse, Seafair, Terra Nova, and Hamilton.

Richmond Home Renovation, Answered

Do you handle Richmond permits for a renovation?

Yes. When a project changes structure, adds a suite, or affects flood construction levels, 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.

Does Richmond's high water table affect basement or lower-level work?

It can. Richmond sits low on the Fraser delta, so the water table is high and the city sets flood construction levels for habitable space. We plan any lower-level renovation around those conditions, with the right drainage and waterproofing rather than a finish that will not last.

Can you deal with settlement in an older Richmond home?

Yes. Soft delta soil means many Richmond homes settle over time, which shows up as cracked finishes and doors that stick. We assess what is cosmetic and what is structural, and we build the renovation to sit right on the ground it is on.

Which Richmond neighbourhoods do you serve?

We renovate across the whole city, including Steveston, Broadmoor, Brighouse, Seafair, Terra Nova, and Hamilton. Our shop is in Surrey and Richmond is a short drive across the Fraser on Highway 91.

How long does a home renovation in Richmond 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 Richmond?

Yes. Elite Contracting Ltd. is fully insured, and we back our renovations with a workmanship warranty. Our 5.0 rating across 121 Google reviews reflects how we work on real projects across Metro Vancouver.
