We're a Certified Licensed Home Builder with BC Housing trusted across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland for quality craftsmanship and transparent service.

What Home Renovation Includes

A full home renovation with VIBE goes beyond cosmetic updates. We assess your home's structure—especially important in Vancouver where older homes often need plumbing and electrical updates—and create a plan that modernizes your space while respecting its character where appropriate.

Who Is This For

Home renovations are for owners who want to significantly update their existing space. You might be living in an older Vancouver home with outdated systems that need replacing, or you've bought a property that needs work before it fits your lifestyle. If your home's layout structure or systems aren't working but you're not ready to tear down and rebuild, renovation is the path.

What's Included

Full home renovations typically include: assessment of existing structure and systems, design collaboration for layout and finishes, permit applications where required, demolition and structural modifications, electrical and plumbing updates, HVAC improvements, interior finishing throughout, BuilderTrend access for project tracking, and 2-5-10 warranty coverage on applicable work.

Why Choose VIBE for Your Renovation

Renovations uncover surprises. Here's how we handle them.

Learn About Us

Heritage Knowledge

Vancouver has many older homes with heritage considerations. We know how to navigate city requirements and work with character homes respectfully.

Systems Expertise

Older homes often need electrical plumbing or structural updates. We identify these issues early and address them properly—not just cover them up.

Design Collaboration

We work with designers throughout the project ensuring the finished renovation reflects your vision not just functional fixes.

What to Expect

Renovation costs and timelines vary dramatically based on scope. A main floor refresh is very different from a full gut renovation. Vancouver heritage homes often involve more complexity than newer suburban properties. We'll assess your specific situation and give you realistic ranges for both budget and timeline. Expect longer permit times in Vancouver than surrounding municipalities.

Serving the Lower Mainland

Each municipality has different requirements especially for heritage properties.

Our kitchen needed some renovations and Vibe Design Build did a beautiful job. They started with a revision to the layout which included a beautiful design, then suggested we put in modern appliances, custom cabinets, and a big island. Now the room is great for cooking and having people over. They paid great attention to detail and were very good at planning and execution.
