About Whole House Renovation in Langley
Vancouver whole-house renovation — full-scope rebuild from inside-the-walls to surface finishes, all trades coordinated under one contract with one project manager. We work in single-family homes, townhouses, and large condos across Metro Vancouver, including heritage and character homes.
Every whole-house project includes a written scope, milestone-based contract, BC Building Code permit package, structural engineer coordination where needed, $5M CGL insurance, WorkSafeBC, and our 3-year workmanship warranty.

What's Included
1. Pre-construction
- Existing-conditions survey + measurements
- Structural assessment (engineer when load-bearing or addition)
- BC Building Code review + permit package
- Heritage Alteration Permit (where applicable, City of Vancouver Heritage Conservation Areas)
- Schedule of Quantities + fixed-price contract
- 3D walkthrough (premium tier)
2. All Trades Under One Contract
- Demolition + asbestos abatement
- Structural carpentry + framing changes
- Electrical (200A panel upgrade typical)
- Plumbing (PEX-A re-pipe typical, gas line work)
- HVAC (heat pump install or full duct rework)
- Insulation upgrade (Vancouver homes often pre-2000 R-12 — bring to R-22 minimum)
- Drywall, paint, finish carpentry
- Flooring (hardwood, tile, LVP)
- Cabinetry + countertops + tile
- Roofing (when included in scope)
- Windows + exterior doors
3. What Drives Price Up
- Asbestos abatement in pre-1990 home: +$8K–$40K depending on extent
- Knob-and-tube wiring replacement (pre-1950 homes): +$15K–$35K
- Galvanized supply lines / lead pipe replacement: +$8K–$25K
- 200A panel upgrade + service entrance: +$5K–$10K
- Roof replacement when added to scope: +$15K–$35K
- Foundation crack repair / underpinning: +$10K–$80K
- Heritage / character preservation requirements: +15–30% on the relevant scope
- City of Vancouver permit fees (whole-house scope): $5K–$15K
- Engineer + architect (premium / structural scope): $15K–$50K
4. Timeline
| Scope | Duration |
|---|---|
| Cosmetic refresh | 3–6 months |
| Mid-range full reno | 6–10 months |
| Premium with structural | 10–14 months |
| Luxury / addition | 14–24 months |
5. Why Our Floor is $150K and Not $50K
A "$50K Vancouver whole-house renovation" is mathematically impossible in 2026 once you include:
- BC permit + inspection: $4K–$12K
- Asbestos test (required pre-1990) + abatement: $5K–$30K
- 200A panel upgrade (most older homes need this): $5K–$10K
- Even a single bathroom + kitchen refresh: $40K–$70K
Anyone quoting under $150K for "whole house" is either limiting scope to a single room, hiding extras in change orders, or not pulling permits.
6. What's Always Included
- Written milestone-based contract (not lump-sum cash)
- BC Building Code permit package (we file, you pay City fees direct)
- Structural engineer coordination
- $5M CGL + WorkSafeBC
- 3-year workmanship warranty
- Daily site cleanup, weekly photo documentation
- Single project manager (one phone number, one email)
- Itemized invoices for tax / insurance
7. Free In-Home Consultation
Whole-house projects start with a 2-hour walkthrough — full home survey, scope discussion, ballpark range, and (if you proceed) a fixed-price written contract within 14 days. Free, no obligation.
Whole House Renovation Services in Langley
Reno Stars serves both the City of Langley and Township of Langley with full-service renovations — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, cabinet refacing, and whole-house projects. Langley's housing ranges from older single-family homes in the City core and Murrayville to newer townhouse and estate-home developments in Willoughby, Walnut Grove, and Brookswood-Fernridge. Each neighbourhood has its own renovation character, and our team has worked across all of them.
Kitchen renovations are our most requested service in Langley. Many homes built in the 2000s now need their first kitchen refresh — replacing builder-grade laminate countertops with quartz, upgrading to soft-close shaker cabinetry, and installing under-cabinet LED lighting. Our real Langley kitchen projects range from $20,000 (modern white shaker with quartz) to $35,000 (full custom with waterfall island and premium appliances). We bring samples to your home so you can see materials in your own lighting.
Basement renovations in Langley are especially popular for creating legal secondary suites. Township of Langley actively encourages suite development in certain zones, and we handle the full process from design to final inspection. A typical Langley basement suite conversion costs $40,000–$65,000 and can generate $1,500–$2,000/month in rental income — the ROI is excellent for homeowners looking to offset their mortgage.
Cabinet refacing is another high-demand service in Langley. Rather than a full kitchen renovation, refacing lets you update door fronts, drawer faces, and hardware while keeping the existing cabinet boxes. This saves 40–60% versus a full replacement and takes just 5–7 days with minimal disruption. We offer spray-painted, thermofoil, and solid-wood door options in dozens of colours and styles.
For Langley's rural and semi-rural properties in areas like Fort Langley, Campbell Valley, and south Brookswood, we also take on larger-scope projects including deck construction, garage conversions, and whole-house upgrades. Our team handles all permits through the Township and coordinates with utility providers as needed.
All Langley projects include a 3-year workmanship warranty, written quotes with no hidden fees, and free on-site estimates within 48 hours.

Kitchen Renovation with Waterfall Island Design
This Langley townhouse kitchen renovation features a show-stopping waterfall quartz island as its centerpiece. The family wanted a bright, open feel that complemented their eclectic decor, so we selected a cohesive palette of soft whites and natural wood tones. Custom shaker-style cabinets maximize storage, while pendant lighting above the island creates an inviting atmosphere for cooking and entertaining. The waterfall edge detail adds a touch of luxury that elevates the entire space.
