VGC (Vancouver General Contractors) provides professional basement renovation services in Kensington–Cedar Cottage — legal secondary suites, basement underpinning, income suite conversions. Fixed-price contracts, full permit management, and a 2-year workmanship warranty on every project.
Kensington–Cedar Cottage is known for classic East Vancouver detached homes, character houses, and older bungalows with strong demand for laneway homes and basement suites. VGC understands the local permit requirements, building types, and neighbourhood character that shape renovation projects here.
Kensington–Cedar Cottage falls within the City of Vancouver, so all renovation permits are issued by the City of Vancouver Development, Buildings and Licensing (DBL) office. VGC manages the full permit process — drawings, permit application, inspections, and final sign-off. See our Vancouver permits guide →
Costs vary by project scope and building type. VGC provides free fixed-price quotes after a site assessment. See our renovation cost guide →
Most structural, plumbing, and electrical changes require a City of Vancouver permit. VGC handles all permits as part of the project — you never need to visit the permit office.
Timelines depend on project scope and permit processing times. VGC provides a detailed schedule before work begins. Contact us for a project-specific estimate.
