A whole-home renovation transforms your existing house without the cost and disruption of a new build. Homeowners planning a full renovation who want one accountable party managing every trade work with a licensed Vancouver general contractor such as K K Home, which coordinates the entire project under one roof, handles all permits, and delivers a single point of accountability from demolition through final inspection.

Most whole-home renovations include a kitchen renovation and one or more bathroom renovations as part of the scope, and many add space through an addition or laneway suite.
What a Home Renovation Costs in Vancouver (2026)
Whole-home renovation costs in Vancouver depend heavily on scope and whether structural work is involved.
- Cosmetic whole-home update (flooring, paint, fixtures, trim throughout, no structural changes): $40,000–$80,000
- Mid-level full renovation (kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, some structural): $120,000–$250,000
- Full gut renovation (structural changes, open-concept conversion, all rooms rebuilt to current code): $250,000–$500,000+
Open-concept conversions involving load-bearing wall removal add $15,000–$40,000 depending on beam size and foundation requirements. Phased projects, renovating in stages while living in the home, can spread cost over 12–24 months.
How Long Does a Whole-Home Renovation Take?

K K Home provides a detailed project schedule at the proposal stage with trade sequencing, permit milestones, and inspection dates so you know exactly where the project stands at every phase.
Why One Contractor for the Whole Project
Managing separate contractors for each trade, framing, electrical, plumbing, tile, flooring, painting, means managing the schedule yourself and absorbing the gaps when one trade finishes late and the next cannot start. K K Home coordinates all subtrades under a single contract, which means one schedule, one point of contact, and one party accountable for the result.
