East Vancouver Kitchen Renovation — 1960s Vancouver Special

This project involved a complete gut renovation of the original kitchen in a 1965 Vancouver Special in East Vancouver. The clients — a family of four — wanted to open the floor plan to the living and dining areas, add an island with seating, and upgrade all appliances.

VGC removed the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room (with engineer-specified beam replacement), installed custom shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, a waterfall island, and a recessed lighting layout. The project was completed in 7 weeks at a fixed price of $62,000 including all permits.

The before/after transformation completely opened the main floor of the Vancouver Special, which is known for its naturally segmented upper-floor layout. The project increased the home's appraisal value by an estimated $90,000.
