This is a secondary suite that was built in the 1980s with permit that I like to re-incorporate to the main house.
- Demolition of the existing kitchen and convert to bedroom
- Upgrade bathroom
- New floors, moldings, finishing and paint throughout
- Built new staircase with Engineering drawing already completed.
- Some exterior leak remediation (1 skylight and 1 patio)
- Garage drywall replacement
The main job is repairing the carport, see attached picture. The carport is attached to the front face of a duplex house. One or two pillars appear to be not structurally sound (Red Highlight), and several lengths of beams are sagging (Green highlight), and moving out of place due to broken concrete base (Green highlight).
There are some other smaller jobs including, repairing / replacing fascia trim boards (Yellow highlight) repairing a loose railing on a second floor balcony (back side of house, not shown in picture), replacing vinyl deck coating on an approximately 160 square foot area (back side of house), rebuilding a fence, (approx 220 feet long), removing and reinstalling a corner standup shower stall in one unit.
Hello,
After getting a home energy effiecency evaluation, in order to get government grants on my new furnace, I've discovered other home repairs to better my home. Things like installing a new bathroom fan (we require proper venting to outside), insulating the attic and creating storage space above the insulation, installing baseboards throughout the house, and possibly replacing the cupboards, sink, toilet, and floor in the upstairs bathroom.
If you are interested in taking on this assortment of little projects, please contact me with an approximate hourly fee or an idea of how you work out your billing (I know you can't give a solid estimate without more information and/or seeing the house).
Thank you.

Updating an early 80’s concrete built 900 sf two bedroom condominium. Looking for a General Contractor to do this work. Just some of the elements that comprises this renovation are, but not limited to:
- smoothing ceiling throughout suite (currently ceiling is a popcorn finish)
- painting (ceiling, walls, doors, trim, etc.)
- wall modifications
- tiling
- changing out plumbing and electrical fixtures
- some electrical modifications
Notes:
1. Building Permit will be required for this work.
2. Prospective Contractor will be required to provide references for past work completed.
Further details and information for this job will be disclosed during a site visit coordinated for the contractor in order to fully assess the job and be able to prepare a proposal to submit.
I have a small cold room under my front steps. It has concreate walls/ceilings. I would like to convert this space into a more usable storage/closet space that's conditioned with the rest of the basement. ie. seal/close up the vents, insulate, flooring and drywall. The size of the space is approximately 4x13, with the ceiling sloping down (because of the steps)
Project Description:
We would like to convert our crawlspace which is approximately 800 sq ft of our 20 year old split level home into full height basement. We would like to have a suite put in it as well as have our own living space. We just don't know how to go about it and where to start, from permits to contractors and estimated cost.
Hello, I have 2 bedroom suite in my basement about 1000 sqf finished. Also there is a crawl space approximately 18' by 12', 3'8"-4' high with 4" concrete floor, nice and dry. The floor is on ground level. I would like to convert the craw space to a recreation room. Most probably the footer is deep enough (I dug in one place but, you guess, it must be verified for perimeter). There are 2 windows spaces covered with isolation about 4' by 2' each, and bottom of fireplace well separates them. I think to convert one window to a door. So I'd like to separate the project in two:
- First of all to dig the crawl space to about 8'6"-9'(basically to level it with current basement floor) and do outer entrance.
- The second project is to finish the room and build 3 pieces bathroom in it.
The house is in Burnaby. It is 22 years old, 3 levels. It's on a hill so you see 2 levels from front and 3 levels from back; though, the lot has several terraces. Access to the outer wall of the crawl space is on the same level as the part of backyard up to the back lane. There is a family room above the crawl space. Distance from house wall to fence is about 8'.
I will go for one part or both parts depends of cost.
Thanks,
Alexander
Hi there, We have just bought a 23 year old house in Burnaby, that has been built with suite in mind, but it hasn't been executed yet. We are looking to do that. There are three things that we would like done.
Creating the suite, It would be drywalling off, and insulating (sound) two hallways, and running some plumbing about 10 feet for a washer and drier.
New Door into garage. We would like to have better access to the garage, and need a door put in. I have been told that because it is a separate "zone" it needs to be a proper door, for fire and gas reasons.
Dividing a room. We have too many kids.. and need to create a bedroom from the rec-room, so a 12 foot wall at the minimum, possibly extending a hall into a existing room that is large, and a new door into that room as well, depending on budget.
The house is in very good shape, and solid, aprox 3700 sqf in total.
This is a start up dental office in a 1536 sqft space in the Burnaby/Vancouver border area. There are walls that need to be teared down as well as floors being removed (tile and carpet). I am looking for a contractor who has experience in building dental offices before. I will require references and samples of previous work. I am also looking for a contractor who will also work with my own trades people.
My Wife and I are interested in renovating our side of our Family's Duplex in Burnaby near Kensington (roughly between 1350 to 1400 sqf) and are looking to hire a General Contractor/Renovator for the Job, starting in June 2021. The work would consist of renovating 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Kitchen, Main Entrance and Living Room. My Wife has a preference for light colors (ex. white kitchen cabinets with stainless steel appliances) and hardwood floors in the bedrooms, tiles in the kitchen, among other things.
We would like to set up a meeting to discuss our home renovation project with your company and get a quote. The duplex unit that we will be renovating is currently being rented and this past weekend we gave our Two-Month Eviction Notice to the tenants as their last day being June 1st, 2021, which we would hope to be the first day of our Renovations or preferably sooner (should they vacate the premises a little earlier). So far, we haven't applied for any permits nor looked at any building material.
We will be able to have pictures/measurements of the unit starting in April and can possibly schedule a walk-through with you to look at the work we want done.
Thank you in advance,
Esteban and Marlene
We own and live in a half duplex and have an enclosed balcony off our master bedroom. We currently use the space as an office. It is very cold in the winter and very warm in the summer. We want to have it insulated and make it look like a real room (ie. not have sidings for a room wall). We also need to add more electrical outlet.
We are looking for a free estimate of the repair to our apartment building including the repair of the cause of the damage and the repair to the first floor apartment kitchen/dining room itself.
First floor apartment kitchen floor linoleum and structure below:
Our south facing apartment has experienced damage due to unknown sources. We figure it is rain that comes in through the exterior stucco wall or window frame that is somehow entering the area under the kitchen dining room and making the floor structure materials soft. When we walk on most of the kitchen we do not sink into it but near the heater / window the floor sinks easily when stepped on. It could be due to insects and or water or other reason. We need the kitchen floor repaired so it doesn't sink when stepped on and we need to repair the cause of the floor damage. Below is a list of what we propose needs doing. We want this done as soon as possible. Possibly weeks before Christmas. We are asking for your free quote estimate as soon as possible.
Thanks.
Initial needs:
need to know your timeline of when you are able to start the project , what work you propose to do ( other than what is listed below ) and when you would be finishing the project.
price for warranty periods of 3 and 5 years and 10 years
near the heater under the window:
replace the damaged wood under the kitchen linoleum
replace the linoleum for entire kitchen and or just the dining area
drywall removal and replacement or
type of patch work and painting
regular hourly rate and
additional costs rate per hour
There is easy access to the inside and outside of this apartment.
We have additional needs although we will work on one repair at a time.

Both the garage area and rec room are will have lots of storage space.
I am the property owner of a standard 33'x122' corner lot in Burnaby. I am looking at a number of projects including the following (in order of priority):
1. Remove an aging storage shed and replacing with a basic 2 car garage. Included in this would be paving a small portion (maybe 33'x10') of property backing on to alley.
2. As the sewer line for the house is the original from 1947, it needs to be replaced due to roots penetrating line. The sewer line runs under the old shed and would like this replaced while digging the foundation for new garage.
3. Landscaping to compliment new garage and clean up our backyard. Leveling backyard, laying new sod.
4. Replace existing deck structure with something bigger. Current deck is approximately 5 feet off the ground and is approximately 7'x5'. Would like to replace with a basic deck maybe twice the size, probably composite materials.
When project is quoted, we will be asking to quote each piece separately but if you can provide ballpark figures then these would be appreciated.
