Home Renovation in Vancouver, BC

A whole-home renovation transforms your existing house without the cost and disruption of a new build. K K Home manages full home renovations across Greater Vancouver — coordinating every trade under one roof, handling all permits, and delivering a single point of accountability from demolition through final inspection.

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?

A mid-level whole-home renovation in Vancouver takes 4–8 months from permit approval to final inspection. Full gut renovations with structural changes run 8–14 months. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a home renovation cost in Vancouver?
A whole-home renovation in Vancouver costs $40,000–$80,000 for a cosmetic update across all rooms, $120,000–$250,000 for a mid-level full renovation including kitchen and bathrooms, and $250,000–$500,000+ for a full gut renovation with structural changes. Open-concept conversions with load-bearing wall removal add $15,000–$40,000 to any scope.
How long does a home renovation take in Vancouver?
A mid-level whole-home renovation takes 4–8 months from permit approval to final inspection. A full gut renovation with structural changes runs 8–14 months. K K Home provides a detailed project schedule with trade sequencing and permit milestones at the proposal stage.
Do you need a permit for a whole-home renovation in Vancouver?
Yes. A building permit is required for any structural changes, and trade permits (plumbing, electrical, gas) are required for each respective scope. Most whole-home renovations involve multiple permit types. K K Home manages all permit applications and coordinates inspections as part of the project contract.
Can you live in your house during a whole-home renovation in Vancouver?
It depends on the scope. Cosmetic renovations phased by floor or zone are manageable to live through. Full gut renovations or projects involving kitchen and bathroom demolition simultaneously are not livable during active construction. K K Home offers phased project plans specifically designed to maintain one livable zone throughout the renovation.
