Shaughnessy
Split-level houses were a big architectural trend to create larger living spaces and ad areas of natural light without increasing the footprint of the house. This did create some unique challenges for this particular Shaughnessy renovation when upgrading all of the mechanical and electrical elements. With a great design and inventive construction strategy a clean modern renovation was created. This 3700 square foot completed in 2011 boasts custom oak millwork throughout, temperature controlled wine room, user friendly lighting control system and a hot tub area.

Quadra Street
A great example of a complete transformation! This West Point Grey house was on an odd pie shaped corner lot that utilized a great view but unfortunately did not conform with new code requirements and city property line set backs. To keep the beauty and view of the lot, a complete renovation was the only option. Everything in this house was redone including all major structural elements to create an open floor plan, all mechanical & electrical, services, insulation and all interior and exterior finishes.

Eagleridge Addition

Bayshores
Best Builders was given a budget, strong design and completion date to bring this project within and were able to deliver a turnkey product on time and under budget. The clients left town for the entirety of construction and came back to a stunning, 2800 square foot condo renovation nestled in the heart of Downtown Vancouver in the prominent Coal Harbour area. Since this project was completed in 2009 custom condo renovations has been a great niche for Best Builders.

West 12th Renovation
This West Point Grey project was truly a complete renovation. The clients were faced with a tough decision to build a new home or completely renovate the home for their growing family. The existing home would not conform to new building zoning if rebuilt to the same size and the family would have to lose 500 square feet of living space. So they decided to renovate and make the home as new as possible. Best Builders team lifted the house on platforms, removed the foundations, excavated for a full sized basement, built new foundations and set the house back down. The rest of the house was completely gutted and refinished to create a luxurious family home that fit all of the clients needs.

Arthur Drive
Maintaining the character of certain heritage residences is not only something that Best Builders believes in but can also fall into city regulations. This heritage restoration that we completed fall of 2009 in Ladner, BC is listed under the Heritage ‘B’ status. The exterior had to maintain the look and style of when this house was originally built in the 1920’s, while the inside had more flexibility; the design was kept to be seamless with the outside. Best Builders installed all of the creature comforts of a modern home with new commercial grade appliances, cabinetry, flooring, electrical & mechanical upgrades, feature millwork and a custom made hot tub in the back yard.
