The house is a rancher on crawl space of 4 ft high. I would like to change the water supply pipe to PEX/copper pipe. I also need a 11-12 ft long wall, door and closet to be install to the family room to turn it into a bedroom. If possible, I would like the bedroom to have direct access to the main bathroom. The project should get started on July 6, finish by July 15.
Thanks.
1944 Bungalow of 2000 square feet in two levels, timber frame, hard wood floor main level and concrete rendered basement level. Both levels are of equal size with a bedroom, dining room and living room with the only bath room on the upper level.The basement has all the equipment for the services to the house with two rooms, a large open space and a 100 amps board. There is no garage but with space and easy approval for a stand alone garage, since the house is on 16,600 square feet of land.
The idea is to modernize the house and include the 200 s.f. deck into a covered area to extend the kitchen, add another full bath and WC in the basement level, drywall the entire lower level with a carpet rendering. Heating is currently by heated water circulation, to be replaced with electric heating with baseboard heating in all areas and increasing the supply to 200 amps. All bathroom and kitchen fixtures and fittings are to be replaced with new.
All doors and windows are to be replaced and the entire house rewired and with new switches and wall plugs. The interior and exterior of the house has to be repainted and gutter guard applied although the roof is in good condition.
We have got a building envelope condition assessment and below are the recommendations.
Wall assemblies
-Replace all face sealed stucco clad walls with strapped rainscreen wall assemblies (vinyl or hardy board )
-Replace all face sealed wood clad walls with strapped rainscreen walls assemblies (vinyl or hardy board )
-During restoration, correct deviations in original framing
-Repaint at grade concrete walls with a vapour permeable paint
Balconies
-Review north elevation balcony structure to determine cause of sagging/settlement
-Replace plywood decking and apply a 60 mil PVC balcony membrane
-Replace guardrail assemblies with new aluminum assemblies completed with glass panel.
-Reconstruct enclosed balcony guardrails/guardwalls, reinstall existing glazing.

I've got a small (one week?) job --
The interior floor/wall/ceiling of a vintage 13’ Boler trailer (10’x 6’ fiberglass egg). Minor wiring. Replace windows (x4, plexiglass).
The details:
The shell itself has already been cleaned up and doesn’t require any work. I want to construct a frame on the interior (as narrow and light as possible), install insulation, finish the floors with some pre-finished engineered hardwood I already have and finish the walls and ceiling with plywood. The challenge in the job is to preserve the slight curve of the shell. (1/4-inch plywood has more than enough bend to it). There’s a little bit of wiring to do – a half-dozen recessed LED lights on the ceiling, 2 outlets, and a fan. Lastly, I want to replace the windows: They’re plexiglass and are held in place with rubber molding. That’s it! I can do the cabinetry myself or I can contract that as well as an additional job. The original benches and cabinets have already been cleaned up and re-painted. They can probably be re-installed with a bit of trimming where they meet the new interior walls.
Schedule:
Start any time after Aug. 12 to finish any time before Sept. 4 (preferably before Aug. 24).
I'm in downtown Victoria but, of course, the trailer can be set up anywhere you want to work on it.
I'm pretty flexible but one thing I can't be flexible about is "multi-jobbing." I need someone who will stay on the job full time after starting it and see it through on schedule.
Pay: I'd prefer a bid on the labour for the whole job (I'll supply materials) or we can come up with an hourly rate.
The budget estimate is only for those elements covered in the description as specific to the contractor and does not include the flooring, cabinetry, counter tops or materials. Negotiable obviously.
2 Bdrm 2 Bath condo, Quadra and bay area - 970 sq ft.
We are looking for a contractor to advise and coordinate elements of this reno to begin in a month or two, as soon as practical.
Flooring ( lino) and carpeting will be replaced throughout the condo by Home Depot/Rona type folks. They will also coordinate new kitchen counters. A company will reface the kitchen cabinets.
The contractor will help with coordinating and/or performing:
1) Removal of a partial partition, non-load bearing wall in the kitchen area, that has phone lines and electric lines. Capping said wall at waist level to allow counter top to be placed on top (the wall is a right angle V shape adjacent to the end of the current counters.)
2) Coordinate and or perform the repair to the ceiling this removal will cause, plus addition of pot lights over new counter tops.
3) Removal of old vanities in both bathrooms together with new toilets and mirror cabinets. In guest bathroom the possible removal of tub to be replaced with shower stall, making room for additional storage space (cabinet? shelving?)
4) some baseboard replacement and framing in moulding around closets.
We have a1650 sf townhouse in great repair but 35 yrs old. Wall between kitchen and dining room to be removed with circuit breaker box moved, kitchen cabinets are nine yrs old, want redesign of kitchen and cabinet face, build dining room cabinet, paint and redo flooring for entire interior, install pocket door. Wish consult with designer.
I need to repaint the kitchen, replace floor and cabinetry/counter top and install a dishwasher. Size of kitchen~ 10.5x14ft/ height= 7.5ft.
If things work out well I would then need to paint and replace floor in the rest of the house [~1200 sqft] but this should be subject to another estimate.
We have recently bought a 60s house and are looking to take down a wall, and redo the kitchen, including lighting, flooring, and cabinets and counter tops. Looking to do this on a budget, and owners are willing to do demo, and assist with construction. Will need to get drawings and permits from city.
We need a laundry closet refit with a laundry folding surface just above the machines and cupboards above that. One side would be open to hang things that cannot go in the dryer and the rest would be open storage cubicles. We would also like solid french style doors to close the closet (i.e NOT bi folds) That last bit is going to need some expertise since the closet is about 2 inches too shallow to put the doors back in the current position. It will need to be built out enough to clear the machines.
Part 2 is the reno of the Master BR to move the closets and add wood flooring
Wish to add a small bathroom . The location will be in the front of house. In the foyer area. (South east corner of house) Have to frame one wall. install a two piece , run water pipe from front of property aprox. 12 feet away . Install a small electric hot water heater for point of use ? Existing Hot water tank is at back north east corner of house . Sewer connection is at back of house (North east corner as well) , sewer line is to go out of house at front behind new toilet and down driveway and conect to sewer ? There is a suite and gas force air ducts . Or use a macerating unit ? Instead of running sewer line ?
Thank you.
