Renovation Contractors in Vancouver, BC
Character homes, Vancouver Specials, and condo towers — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and full-home renovations across Vancouver by the family-led Bouri team.
Vancouver's housing is a century-deep archive, and renovating here means knowing what each era hides. The character homes of Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Dunbar, and Kerrisdale — many of them 80 to 110 years old — carry original framing dimensions, knob-and-tube wiring, and galvanized plumbing that have to be handled correctly when walls open. East Vancouver's Specials in Renfrew, Hastings-Sunrise, and Victoria-Fraserview are the city's best suite-conversion candidates. And the condo stock from Marpole to downtown runs on the strata approval process we handle as a specialty.
Bouri Contracting brings the same family-led, one-team accountability to Vancouver that built our reputation in the Tri-Cities: itemized quotes, committed schedules, honest assessments of what an older home will reveal, and every City of Vancouver permit and inspection managed for you — whether it's a kitchen rebuild in a Kits character house or a full transformation of an East Van Special.

Working in Vancouver
Permits: structural, plumbing, electrical, and suite work requires a City of Vancouver building permit, and older homes can carry extra review layers — we identify what applies to your property during the quote and manage every application and inspection. Older-home honesty: in pre-war housing we price the probability of hidden-condition work — wiring, plumbing, insulation — up front instead of springing it mid-project; it's why our reviews read the way they do. We also serve neighbouring Burnaby, Richmond, and North Vancouver.

Yes — character-home renovation is core work for Bouri in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Dunbar, and Kerrisdale. Older homes demand honest scoping: knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and original framing are priced as probabilities up front, and the renovation modernizes the services while keeping the character details that give the house its value.
Cosmetic work usually does not need a permit, but structural changes, plumbing or electrical work, and secondary suites require a City of Vancouver building permit, and older properties can involve additional review. Bouri Contracting determines what your project needs and manages every application and inspection.
Vancouver Specials and many character-home basements are excellent suite candidates, subject to city requirements like fire separation, ceiling height, and egress. Bouri Contracting assesses feasibility during the free consultation and manages the suite permit and inspections end-to-end.
