Renovation services in Metro Vancouver
Five kinds of work on existing houses. Each page carries the scope of work exactly as it appears in your written proposal.
Pick the one closest to your project
Kitchen renovations
A kitchen is the densest room in the house — services, ventilation, water and heavy cabinetry all landing inside four walls. Most of what goes wrong in one goes wrong behind the drywall.

Bathroom renovations
A bathroom is a small room with a water problem. Everything that matters in one is decided in the two days between the framing being closed in and the tile going on.

Basement finishing and suites
Finishing a basement is not a framing job. It is a water-management job that ends in framing, and the order matters more than anything else on this page.

Whole-home renovations
A whole-home renovation is a scheduling problem wearing a construction costume. The trades are the easy part; the order they arrive in is where projects are won and lost.

Decks, siding and exterior work
The leaky-condo crisis is living memory in this province, and it is the reason drained, vented wall assemblies are standard practice here. Everything on the outside of a house in this region is a water-management detail.

New home construction
Durak Homes does not build new houses. Constructing a new home in British Columbia — or rebuilding an existing one past the point the Homeowner Protection Act calls substantially reconstructed — requires a BC Housing Licensed Residential Builder number and mandatory 2-5-10 home warranty insurance registered before the building permit issues. We hold neither, so we do not take that work, and we will tell you at the first site visit if your project has drifted across that line. Renovation work that keeps the existing structure is a different regulatory animal, and it is what we do.
Not sure which of these your project is?
Most projects are two of them at once. A ten-minute call sorts it out faster than a form.
