A better home starts with a better plan.
QUAY Construction is a Vancouver home renovation contractor serving homeowners across Vancouver, the North Shore, Burnaby, Richmond, the Tri-Cities and the Fraser Valley — from single-room updates to complete whole-home renovations.
A home renovation is rarely one trade. Layout, structure, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, cabinetry, flooring and finishes all depend on each other, and they need to be planned and installed in the right order. When those pieces are managed separately, schedules slip and costs move.
We bring design, pricing, procurement and construction into one organized process, so you have a clear scope, a defined schedule and one team responsible from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.

Different homes. Different constraints.
Vancouver homes range from pre-war character houses and Vancouver Specials to mid-century bungalows, townhomes and concrete high-rise condos. Each one renovates differently.
Older detached homes can hide knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, uneven framing or hazardous materials that need testing before demolition. Strata properties bring approvals, elevator reservations, common-area protection and restricted work hours.
We identify those conditions before construction wherever possible, so your home renovation is planned around the building rather than adjusted after the walls are open.
One home. One accountable team.
Planning, pricing, procurement and construction are coordinated through one renovation process rather than managed as isolated pieces.
One Point of Contact
Design, trades, materials and scheduling are coordinated by QUAY, so you are not managing separate contractors or chasing updates.
Fixed-Price Proposal
Scope and pricing are established before construction so you know what is included and what the renovation is expected to cost.
Plan Before Construction
Materials, trades, sequencing and major project decisions are coordinated before the kitchen is taken apart.
365-Day Warranty
Our workmanship is backed by QUAY's 365-day We-Fix-It-Free warranty after project completion.
Planned as a whole. Finished in the details.
Cabinetry, surfaces, lighting and finishing details are coordinated across rooms so the finished home feels consistent.

Home Renovation FAQ
Built around how you live.
Most home renovations start with the same problem: the house no longer fits the way the household uses it.
That might mean opening a closed kitchen to the living area, adding a bathroom, finishing a basement for family or rental use, or updating an entire floor so the finishes, lighting and storage finally work together.
We start with how you use the home, then build the scope, selections and schedule around those priorities and the realities of the property.
Clear before construction. Organized through completion.
Each stage is defined before the next begins so decisions, materials and trades remain connected throughout the renovation.
Discovery Call
We discuss your home, priorities, desired timeline and expected investment to determine the right next step.
On-Site Consultation
We review the existing rooms, measurements, building conditions, layout opportunities and practical project requirements.
Scope & Proposal
The renovation is defined through a detailed scope, selections, pricing and construction plan before work begins.
Construction
Trades, materials and installations are coordinated through an organized schedule with consistent communication through completion.
Plan the renovation. Understand the investment.
Home renovation cost in Vancouver is driven by scope, not square footage.
The final investment depends on how many rooms are involved, layout and structural changes, plumbing and electrical upgrades, cabinetry, surfaces, flooring, permits and the level of custom detailing.
Rather than quoting a generic square-foot price, we define the actual scope and provide a fixed-price proposal before construction begins. For typical ranges by room, see our renovation cost guides.
Vancouver home renovation questions.
How much does a home renovation cost in Vancouver? +
It depends on the scope. The number of rooms, layout or structural changes, plumbing and electrical upgrades, cabinetry and finish level all affect the price. QUAY defines the scope first and then provides a fixed-price proposal before construction begins.
How long does a home renovation take? +
Timelines vary with scope. A single room can be completed in weeks, while a whole-home renovation takes longer and may depend on permits, strata approvals and material lead times. Your schedule is set out before construction starts.
Do I need a permit for a home renovation in Vancouver? +
Many renovations do, particularly when they involve structural changes, new plumbing or electrical work, or a change of use such as a basement suite. Permit requirements are identified and coordinated during project planning.
Can I live in my home during the renovation? +
Often, yes. It depends on which rooms are affected and whether kitchens, bathrooms or building services are out of use. We discuss this during planning so you can decide what works for your household.
Do you renovate older and character homes? +
Yes. We check older homes for outdated wiring, old plumbing and hazardous materials. That way, these issues are part of the plan instead of a surprise mid-project.
Does QUAY Construction provide a warranty? +
Yes. QUAY Construction provides a 365-day workmanship warranty following completion of the renovation.
