High-performance Rockwool or spray foam wall insulation reduces heating and cooling loads and supports BC Energy Step Code compliance. BC Hydro and FortisBC rebate programs may apply to eligible insulation, window, and heat pump upgrades — we flag available rebates during the quoting process. Energy Star appliances round out an efficient renovation package.

Choosing the right renovation contractor in Port Moody starts with verifying BC licensing. All contractors performing work over $1,000 must be registered with Consumer Protection BC. They should carry general liability insurance of at least $2 million per occurrence and WorkSafeBC coverage for all workers on your project — if an uninsured worker is injured on your property, you as the homeowner may be liable. Get at least 3 written quotes and compare them carefully: a lower quote often excludes permits, demolition, or disposal. Ask for references from 3-5 recent projects similar to yours in scope and location. Did the project finish on time and on budget? Were there surprise charges? Would they hire the contractor again? A real project portfolio with actual completed photos is a strong signal of credibility.

We offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends to minimize disruption to your business operations. We can phase work to keep parts of your space operational.
