Plan Better.
Build Together.
Your home should work for the way you actually live.
Walker General Contractors is a Vancouver renovation contractor helping homeowners across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland plan and build better spaces. From updating an older home to reworking a kitchen, finishing a basement, adding more living space or taking on a larger renovation, we bring the different parts of the project together from planning through construction.
As an experienced general contractor Vancouver homeowners can turn to for residential renovation and construction projects, we focus on understanding the existing home before work begins. That means looking at the layout, the scope of work, construction requirements, and the decisions that need to be made before trades are on site.
Whether you already know what you want or are still working out the possibilities, we can help you understand the next steps.
Home Renovations Built Around the Way You Live
A renovation isn’t just about replacing finishes. Sometimes the problem is a kitchen that no longer works for the family. Sometimes it’s a cramped layout, an unfinished basement, a lack of storage or a home that simply doesn’t fit the way you live anymore.
Our approach to home renovations starts with the existing property and what you want to change. Walker General Contractors works with homeowners on projects ranging from individual rooms to substantial whole-home renovations, with attention to layout, construction requirements, materials, and coordination between trades.

Why Choose Us
How Our Renovation Process Works
Consultation and Project Discussion
The first step is a conversation about your home and what you want to accomplish.
We discuss the areas you want to change, how you want the space to function and what you are considering for the project.
Planning and Preparation
Once the scope becomes clearer, the project can be planned around the existing property and construction requirements.
Depending on the project, this may involve reviewing layouts, materials, structural considerations, permits and the work that needs to be coordinated before construction begins.
Construction
Once the project moves into construction, trades, materials and different stages of the work need to be coordinated.
Our focus is on keeping the process organized while maintaining communication with the homeowner throughout the project.
Completion
As the work comes together, the completed spaces are reviewed against the project goals and remaining details are addressed before the project is finished.

Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Walker General Contractors provide?
Walker General Contractors provides residential renovation and construction services throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Services include home renovations, kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, basement renovations, home additions, custom residential construction and commercial construction.
What does a renovation contractor do?
A renovation contractor coordinates the different parts of a construction project, which may include planning, demolition, trades, materials, scheduling, construction and finishing. For larger renovations, having one contractor coordinate the different stages can reduce the amount of scheduling and trade coordination the homeowner has to manage themselves.
How do I start planning a home renovation in Vancouver?
Start with what you want to change. Think about how the existing space works, what isn't working for you and what you want the finished home to do differently. From there, a consultation can help identify the scope of the project and the next steps that may be required.
How long does a Vancouver home renovation take?
There isn't one timeline that applies to every renovation. The overall schedule can be affected by the size and complexity of the project, design decisions, permits, existing property conditions, material availability, trade scheduling and the amount of construction involved. A larger renovation should be planned around the entire project rather than only the number of days trades will be working inside the home.
Do renovations in Vancouver require permits?
It depends on the work being proposed. Some renovation projects may require permits or other approvals, particularly when the work involves structural changes, additions or changes to building systems. The requirements depend on the specific project and property. Before construction begins, the applicable requirements should be identified as part of the project planning process.
