Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a whole house renovation cost in Richmond, BC?

A whole house renovation in Richmond typically ranges from $25,000–$150,000+ depending on scope. A cosmetic refresh — flooring, paint, light fixtures, and hardware throughout — runs $20,000–$40,000 and delivers a high-impact transformation without structural changes. A comprehensive renovation including kitchen, bathrooms, and electrical updates ranges $80,000–$180,000. The project in this case study demonstrated that a budget of $25,000–$40,000 can produce a dramatically improved home when scope is well-defined and materials are pre-selected.

How long does a whole house renovation take in Richmond?

A cosmetic whole house renovation in Richmond typically takes 4–8 weeks of active construction. Full renovations involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical panel upgrades, and permit-required plumbing work run 14–22 weeks including Richmond City permit approval (typically 2–4 weeks, faster than City of Vancouver). Our Critical Load Panel Installation service upgrades your home electrical capacity for modern renovation demands. Townhouse renovations in Richmond must also account for strata approval timelines of 4–6 weeks before construction can begin.

Do I need strata approval for a whole house renovation in a Richmond townhouse?

Yes — Richmond townhouse strata corporations require written Alteration Approval before any renovation involving shared systems, flooring (for noise transmission compliance), plumbing, or structural changes begins. Older Metro Vancouver homes may also need our Poly-B Pipe Replacement service to eliminate unsafe plastic piping. The contractor must provide a scope of work, insurance certificates, and WorkSafeBC coverage. The approval process typically takes 2–6 weeks. A renovation company experienced in Richmond strata projects can prepare the application package and anticipate common council requirements.

What trades are involved in a whole house renovation in Richmond?

A typical whole house renovation in Richmond involves a general contractor for project management and carpentry, flooring installer, painter, licensed electrician (required for panel or circuit work), licensed plumber (required for fixture changes), and tile setter for kitchen and bathroom work. Using a single renovation company that coordinates all trades under one contract simplifies scheduling and creates a single point of accountability for the entire project.
