Kerrisdale Kitchen Renovation — 1940s Character Home Transformation

Project Overview

This Kerrisdale kitchen project in a 1940s character home illustrates the type of transformation VGC delivers in Metro Vancouver. Every project begins with a detailed pre-renovation assessment, transparent scoping, and permit coordination before any demo begins.

The Challenge

Removing the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room required a custom LVL beam and new post foundation. The original kitchen had no ventilation and severely limited electrical capacity — both required full upgrades.

The Outcome

The closed, 130 sq ft galley kitchen became a 280 sq ft open-concept kitchen and dining area. Custom inset-door cabinetry in sage green, Calacatta quartz countertops, and a La Cornue-style range transformed a dated space into the focal point of the home.

What This Project Cost and Why

The total investment of $92,000 reflects the full scope: permits, demolition, structural work, trade rough-ins, materials, finishes, and project management. VGC’s transparent quoting process means this number was within 8% of the original estimate — typical for a project of this type.
